Food and dish bombs

[Crayola kiddies]

I agree food and plate/bowl throwing is unacceptable and I have a 12 month old that I just started and of course he throws but not as much as some others I've had .... I say no throwing in a strong voice and a serious face .... I take their hands in my hands while I say it .... I watch and as soon as they look like they are going to toss something I say in a louder then normal voice to catch them off guard "no throwing" and if they put it down on the tray I say good job ... For the 17 month old I would immediately take him out of the chair and make him pick it up then put him back in the chair and say" no throwing" ..... I do expect some tears and thats ok .... My 12 month old that gas only been here 3 weeks is doing really well he has not thrown his bowl yet but tried dumping it and I said "no dumping" he has only thrown food once and his cup twice .... I just speak to him in a stern voice and a couple of tunes he's been poised to throw and I said "no" and he put it down .... I'm not sure why parents allow it its so much easier to stop it at 12 months them wait till they are older.
