Naughty but problematic behavior

Sravya

Is anyone facing the below issues as I am?

1. My 18 month old son almost tore up all the blinds (those large blinds for the floor to ceiling balcony window) by pulling them one by one over the past 1 year 😂. He still goes and does the same for the remaining ones too. We just can’t stop him. This has become a real problem.

2. Removing the cables from behind the tv table. We have a lot of wires (internet and tv wires) behind the tv table and he goes and just pulls them all the time and because I and my husband work from home, the internet is being disconnected multiple times in the middle of the meetings. Lol 😂 .. just can’t keep him away except take him to another room. We are in a rented apartment, so can’t make holes to the wall to hide the cabling. Any suggestions on what we can do to keep the cables out of his reach and sight?

3. Throwing things at people. Especially at his dad. We have told him multiple times in multiple ways not to throw things at people, but he never seems to understand. He just thinks it’s a game. The things can range from a spoon to tv remote to phone to anything he has in his hands. It’s not because he is upset or he needs attention.. he thinks that’s a game.

The main purpose of this post is to know that we are not alone (if anyone else is facing these kinds of problems) and any solutions/fixes or workarounds that worked for you. Please share your experiences, thank you 🙏
