Yep! This is the one time that I do have a fantastic suggestion. There is a wonderful book you can get called; Young Children's Behavior by Louise Porter. It's an absolute gem, it gives you no nonsense, non judgmental ways to parent your child using a Democratic Discipline approach. It's very very cool! When my youngest was born we did the parenting effectiveness Course which was after the same style a direct derivative of The Triple P Parenting Program. After reading the book i sent a txt to every parent I know and since then several have read it with some great success. My kids were grateful that I read it as well.

Don't stress - you can do it! may the force be with you! (lol)

I think it's great to try giving consequences. For example, when my son throws toys at the dogs, or me, I warn him that it hurts me and if he does it again, I will take the toy away. So the next time he does the same thing, I just put the toy away.
