Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
You really have to tell his parents and sitting him down and talking to him, he's young and doesn't know any better. ♥
]
You have to make him sit in time out, put him in a chair and make him sit there, if he doesnt then take away a toy of his until he sits there for probably about 5 or 10 minutes. Talk to the parents if hes giveing you a lot of trouble.

You need to talk to the Mother about this. Ask her what discipline you can use. If she agrees, make him sit down for 10 minutes, no tv, nothing. When you allow him to get up, and if he does it again, make him sit for 15 minutes. Take that toy away that he throws. You are in charge of him, and he needs to realize that. But you need to talk to his parents.

I happen to babysit kids the exact same way. What a 4 year old is trying to do is test your limits. They want to see how far your limits of strictness go, just a test for patience. All kids do it. So here is what you do. Before the parents leave kneel down to the little boys level and tell him the specific rules he has to follow, say it so his parents hear you. Hear is my "system" of punishment. It is the 3-X's. If the child still takes a nap that is even better. I usually use this for the "Sleep" it is something young children don't like is going to bed.
1x-Warning
2x-5 minutes/Warning (don't really do the 5 minutes it just makes them more prone to listen)
3x-about a half hour to 15 minutes before they go to bed orginally.
Hope all works out!
Good Luck and God Bless

Ive had the same problem before.If this is your first time babysitting the little boy then give him sometime he may just be getting used to you. If its not then you should confront the parents and tell them whats going on. You could also ask him things he likes to do and that way you could keep him occupied.

Well, just tell him things like, "You can trust me, I'm Your friend" or "Don't throw things, it's not nice" And if he still continues to throw toys and be out of control, you should take the toys and put them somewhere out of reach and say "You will get your toys back when you can act like a good big boy" or give him a time out. Just teach him lessons, that's always a good thing to do. If he continues without listening just give him a longer time out and when the parents get home, explain to them what is happening and maybe they could talk to him about it. If you have any more babysiting or other questions, feel free to ask me! :) Hope I helped + please rate tx!

Alright, well I think you need to let his parents know what is happening. But is this the first time you have been to his house? Because if it is, he might just need to get to know you better. I hope I helped! <3 Steph

hey okay well theres 2 things that this kid is doing and theres a solution to each 1) he cud miss him mom alot of 4 year olds are like that so wut u cud do is sometime just call his mom and let him talk to her ! 2) he cud want atention so all u can do is walk away frum him ! and make him clean up the mess he made ! one of the kids i babysit do that too and i just let em be and they stop ! hope i helped ! good luck with that kid!

babe,
make up games!! kids love games and if he acts up just say, "well i guess you arent going to get any of the chocolate muffins i made...too bad." or something like that. make little snacks and agendas before you go to babysit him. bring a movie he can whatch, then make a snack like teddy grams with milk, peanutbutter and celery, bannans with peanutbutter. then paint with some water colors or paly with little matchbox cars. by this time he might be tired so make him take a nap and read a book to him while he falls asleep. play hide and go seek. if there is a park near by take him to go play. the kid is bored he needs to stay occupied!!
hope i helped

A good way that always helps me is either bribe, or threaten. If he doesn't cut it out when u tell him to, tell him that if he'll stop throwing things and leave his parent's stuff alone, then u can do something extra fun...like, go to the park...if it's ok with his 'rents of course, or tell him he can have a piece of candy if he calms down. That usually works, but if he's too little 2 understand the bribe, he'll definitaly understand if u threaten 2 put him in his room 4 the rest of the time you're over. If he still doesn't give it up, carry through with the threat, and put him in his room. After a little while, he'll calm down completely, and trust me, he won't make u mad anymore. ;) Hope my advice works 4 u, it definitaly works 4 me.

hey! well u can maybe out him in time out, or something but the best thing u can do is tellin the parents and if it doesnt stop i guess just dont babysit him ne more! i kno i wouldnt want to do that! well i hope i help! <3 sarah

talk to the parents of the kid. maybe THEY need to get that kid settled, not you.
]
WEL THE BABBY NEEDS HIS MOM TO TAKE CARE OF HIM AND HE DOSE NOT KNOW U AND IS SCARED
]
show the kid whos boss. Maybe pretend to pick up the phone and say im calling ur mom if u dont calm down and maybe he'll stop..also maybe put something on tv he wud like and he'll get distracted by the tv and watch that..also try putting him in his room if hes too out of control
]
make him go to his room and stay in their till he can calm down and tell the parent when he/she get's home. Also brive the little boy.

You need the power of the "fake" phone call. Act like you are on the phone with his parents, and tell them what he has been doing. If it escalates to real damage, call them for real. Start taking things away until there is nothing else to throw.
]
If you have no control over the kid you should tell his parents , and maybe they will talk to him and get him to calm down or something. If not then you shouldnt watch him anymore! hope i helped!
]
tell him hes not funny n if he doesnt stop ur gunna call hisparents n tell them hes out of control!! lock him in a closet!! lmao sike sike..but no rly jus threatin him w. something tht scares him lke getting in trouble or something by his parents!! or try 2 get him 2 calm down w. warm milk or a movie or something!!
]
Be firm with him, yell at him if needed to. If he's out of control the parent's can't expect you not to do something. Just make sure he knows that you're the one who's in control, and whenever he does something he shouldn't be doing, punish him by taking something away from him, when he's good, give something back, make a system. But make sure it works for you
]
He definitely needs to be disciplined for this so you should give him a time out or even threaten to put him down for a nap if he doesn't stop and follow through with the threat. If he doesn't stop after that just let his mom know because I know for a fact it's hard to babysit kids like that. I hope this helps and good luck!
]
Talk to the parents tell them the kids really bad and needs to be disciplined. or do something like lock him in his room some how maybe you could be more authorative dont let him get away with small things...TAKE CHARGE!

Hey there. I went through a simalar situation a couple of years ago, except I had two boys. Some things you can do is talk to the parents about it. That is something I did and they helped me out a lot! Another thing might be that he has trouble being around new people ... he may have to get used to you first. There are many possiblities, but talk to the parents. If things don't change in the next month, talk to his parents about finding a new babysitter.

tell him you will telll his mom
