best kids toys 1 year image
Parentof1
My son is 8 months we are getting ready to buy our first home we have always lived in apartments and never had a yard , what are good toys that a 1 year old will love to play outside with? He will be one in may his dad is building him a big wooden swing set for his birthday , what else ? We are thinking of getting a pool since he loves water. What about a sprinkler? Any personal experiences will be very much appreciated
Answer
Small trampeline, bounce house, pools. I think little tikes has a mud pie table which the kids like. Outdoor kitchens and grill, sandbox, and of course the swing set will be a lot of fun. Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, if you get a dog playing with the baby and dog in the yard. Tball (little tikes set comes with stand and ball), the other big bouncy balls at Wal Mart. Basketball hoop and ball (once again, little tikes I believe). I have also seen lawnmowers that blow bubbles and kids gardening tool sets. See saw, tricycles (radio flyer has some nice ones for the younger ones), battery powered ride on toys, slides, clubhouse. The list goes on and on.
My daughter probably likes the sidewalk chalk, pool, and sandbox the best. She loves playing with her dog inside/outside no matter what the season is.

How do I get my daughter to stop throwing things?
B.J. C
My daughter is almost 3 and lately she seems to have a serious problem with throwing her toys. I know 1-year olds throw and drop stuff b/c they want to see what happens but she knows stuff drops/bounces/whatever. My husband and I have tried timeouts, taking away her toys (the ones she was throwing at least). She even got in trouble at the church nursery for throwing which was a bit embarrassing. She has a bunch of those Little People toys which are unfortunately great for throwing.
Answer
The issue here is you are telling your daughter not to throw things and she is doing it anyway. So the problem is, she does not obey. So you must teach her to obey.
Teaching obedience is simple but requires firmness and consistency:
1. Give a command in a firm voice. (in this case say "No! Do not throw that toy."
2. If she doesn't obey, give her a firm pat on the bottom (not to hurt, but just to get her attention - she must know you mean what you say)
3. Repeat the command and watch for obedience.
4. Continue correcting as needed until she stops throwing toys. This might be another firm swat, a very stern NO with eye contact or something else.
5. Outlast the child as long as it takes and eventually they will obey. Ignore tears and pouting during this process. Just be firm and stand your ground.
If you follow this guide EVERY time and do it consistently, you will have an obedient child. Some will take longer than others, but eventually they will learn you are in control, you mean what you say, and you are willing to see it through until they obey.
Forget "time out" and sending them to their room. What you are doing in that instance is avoiding time and time again a necessary confrontation - one where you teach your child that you must be obeyed.
Time out is simply a punishment. But it does not address the key problem - i.e. lack of obedience.
Sure, kids don't like time out but they will suffer through it and then go back to disobedience again given enough time.
