Food, throwing, spilling and getting up from the table while still eating,

[Artsand crafts]

We have a very relaxed atmosphere during mealtime, however if someone is not showing good manners they will leave the table and not coming back. They will have to wait until the next meal. They also get to see my mean face. It does not happen to often, they learn the lesson very quick. In here they seat in child size chairs and table at about 15-18 months when they are able to get in and out of the chairs by themselves.

The kiddie table works really well for us actually. My 3 yo does the touching and bugging sometimes during lunch but she is sent from the table and this works.

I wouldn't want to add a larger table, it will just take up more room and I am trying to get away from that! My 18 mos old sits well at the kiddie table and can get up and down easily. She is tall and so this helps. I think I'll try the harness if it becomes a problem. She is very food centered so she maybe too focused on her lunch to try anything.
