When toddlers get angry, they often express their frustration by hitting, kicking, or throwing things. While this throwing behavior can be frustrating for parents, it is actually quite normal. Toddlers are still learning how to cope with strong emotions, and throwing things is one way that they release pent-up energy.
In addition, toddlers often have a hard time understanding why they are feeling angry in the first place. As a result, they may express their anger in inappropriate ways.
However, parents can help their toddlers learn to cope with strong emotions by teaching them appropriate ways to express themselves.
They can also teach their toddlers to use words to describe their feelings and hence developing their language skills as well.
In addition, they can provide toys for their toddlers to throw when they are angry, or use pretend play to listen to their choices and their explanations for their anger.
