My dd is 17 months and for the last 3 months approx when she doesn't want to eat something or has finished with a meal she throws it.
Yeah at first it seems quite cute and novel BUT it's now getting tiring. It happens at every meal and she knows its wrong but looks at me when she launches it..usually ends up at the other side of the room.
Its quite embarassing when you are in a restaurant and have to rescue a piece of bread or lasagne from someones handbag or forehead.!
I have tried to tell her it's wrong, tap her hands or even ignoring her but nothing seems to work. I am sick and tired of picking food up from the floor several times during each meal.....HELP..!
