The bean throwing ceremony, or setsubun, has records going all the way back to around the 13 century. Nowadays, people will through beans to dispel the evil spirits of the past year, but in the 13 century they did it a little different... for example, it became a custom to drive away evil spirits by the strong smell of burning dried sardine heads, the smoke of burning wood and the noise of drums. While this custom is not popular anymore, a few people still decorate their house entrances with fish heads and holy tree leaves in order to deter evil spirits from entering.

Why is my 4-year-old throwing things for fun and how can I redirect this behavior in a positive way?

Your 4-year-old may be throwing things for fun as a way to explore cause and effect or to seek attention. To redirect this behavior in a positive way, you can provide alternative activities that involve throwing, such as playing catch with soft balls or bean bags. You can also set clear boundaries and consequences for throwing objects inappropriately, and praise and reward your child when they engage in positive behaviors. Consistent communication and positive reinforcement can help guide your child towards more appropriate ways of expressing themselves.
