My kid has recently discovered that
throwing his meals, over board from his
high chair, is hilarious. All my hard
work and preparation, to make a good
balance meal, is always fed to our eagerly
waiting, drooling golden retriever.
What can you do to make this stop?..
I've learned that raising my voice, makes
him do it more, because, it is the
reaction he wants. I don't slap my
child. So what else can I do other than
saying no?.. He understands the word,
but is yet to listen to it.
Help.... Before my gorgeous model of all
dogs, turns into an obese belly dragging
piglet.

why dont u feed the child yourself and let
him know that until he stops throwing the
food everywhere he wont be able to eat his
meal like a big kid. It worked with my
nephew !

I would fed it to him, but he is also at
the age where he won't have anything to do
with me feeding him.
He is only 18 months old. He pushes my
hand away and say's "no"...In the sweet
tiny cute voice.

Maybe give him smaller portions? That
way, if he throws his first plate, tell
him no and wait a few minutes. I assume
he'll get too hungry to throw it
eventually. And you'll still have food
ready for him when he decides he actually
wants to eat it.
Of course, that's just a theory. My
daughter isn't a toddler yet.

Try to put the dog in another room with a
dog treat, away from the toddler, my kids
used to do the same way and that is what I
did and I showe them that this is what the
doggir eats and this is what you eat(my
kids but they always left the dog with one
little bite anyway.

I would do like emma said and tell him
that since he can't act like a big kid,
then mom's going to feed him. Or give
him an incentive, like if you can eat like
a grown up, mom will give you a prize!
Little kid's will take anything as a
prize. Maybe a cool plate and cup set
with his favorite cartoon character or
something.
When I was about his age, my mom told me
that I tried throwing a fit, and she said
she looked at me and said "is that the
best you can do?" and I stopped all
together, and never did it again.
