I'd use other behavior management techniques and not over rely on time out. I would not keep him inside.

1. I'd also have him playing solo

2. Throws sand once...no access to sand that day

3. But I'd also set up expectations each time before going out and I'd let him know what will happen if he throws sand or pushes.

4. I'd comment on appropriate behavior not just the negative. He needs positive interaction from you. You get more if what you pay attention to.

5. I'd stay close to him if possible

6. I'd discuss it at circle time. We'd talk about thing that make each child mad, some things they can do if upset, what will happen if hitting, etc. happens. A general conversation, not targeting anyone.

7. Do you have any clue as to why he acts this way after being with grandparents? Over tired, staying up late, allowed to do anything there, lots of junk food? Behavior is communication.

I would be firm but I wouldn't want him just sitting at the table. But I wouldn't let him near the other kids. I'd have to be creative.
