Testing the limits....

My son has always , always been the sweetest happiest baby. So easy to get to sleep and nap. Never ever cries unless hungry or tired. Yes, I know ppl might say this, but it is the truth. The last few days he's been different. Testing me if I say not to throw something. He will swat at my face ans laugh. ;(   not things I'm ready to deal with yet,but need advice on how to handle it the most positive way. I not for spanking or really time out,but I feel like he needs some type of consequence.  I do take the toys away after he throws them, except balls, obviously. HELP!

    If you don't want to do timeout then really you are out of luck - the only thing you can do is tell him not to do it.  It is good though for children to be unhappy when they do something wrong, they learn consequences.

    My DS tests boundaries all the time lately. I've only given him a timeout once, and that was a very bad day! I usually calmly say no, give him a chance to correct the behavior, and if he does it again I put the toy in the closet. It has worked pretty well.
