Dumping items (throwing)

Throwing items is a thing that toddlers do. Ajani has a container with some of his books  and the container is on a low shelf. Sometimes he goes over and just take the books and begin to throw them on the floor."Ajana don't throw your books that is not nice" someone will say to him. He throws them faster and tries to get them further. We just allow him to throw them . I think that he enjoys seeing them land on the floor . That is science cause and effect  . Just think about it . Young children learn through  discoveries and then they usually repeat the activity that they have discovered. He is also impulsive his brain is telling him to do that so stopping him while he is processing that activity will not help you will be stressing him. When he is finished throwing all the books on the floor he took the container and sat in it . "Ma push he said".  would you like me to push you . "yes"His mother began to push him .She help him to extend his language  skills.
 There is a big smile on his face. When he no longer wants to be pushed  his mom said to him "Ajani come lets put the books back into the container and she begins to sing the clean up song he joins in and help . Thank you what a great job.
He does not have enough language as yet to express what he needs although he knows what he needs. He is 2.5 years old he needs a little more time.
