    I don't give them bowls or plates until they have shown that they can handle it...I use booster seats with trays, so I just put the food on the tray (unless it is soup or something like that). They can still throw it, but at least it's not a whole bowl. Then if they start throwing, I take everything away. It takes time before they grow out of it though!

    DITTO!!! Also, when food goes on the floor on purpose I pick it up and look the child in the eye while showing them the food in my hand and very sternly repeat a few times 'no food on the floor'. Then of course I ask the parents to help at home to teach the children that it is not acceptable. My children all learn within a few months not to do that or they get my grouchy side. So yes, lots of success stories, it does work.
