DS loves to pick things up and throw them onto baby's/dog's/cat's head. :-(

How the heck do I handle this? When ds gets around a younger baby, he will look for something to pick up and drop or throw onto his/her head. He also does it to the cat or dogs. Of course I run interference constantly but a few times he was too quick and it's awful! My friends (the ones with the babies) keep telling me it's okay but I become a nervous wreck. Please give me some guidance on how to deal with this behavior! Ds is 18 months old.

We had a similar situation with ds & hitting the pets. It was awful (& sometimes still is) but I found all I could do is REPEATEDLY stop him & show him how to interact appropriately.

I would just stop him from doing it and if he persists, leave the area. "You're not behaving so we have to leave. We'll try again tomorrow".
