IdiotMachine 07/01/23 11:27:52 AM #1:	Baby is now 13 months old, and holy crap does she throws food everywhere. Trying to discipline = nothing (e.g., not reacting when she throws food to the ground, saying NO, slapping hands, bribing with food she likes... NOTHING WORKS) and Googling says toddlers don't even know the concept of discipline; so wtf do you do? All I did is buy a bunch of expensive cleaning stuff I never thought I'd need (e.g., cordless hardwood wet/dry cleaner and a cordless stick vacuum), and place them out in the open literally in the kitchen corner since we need it like 3x a day. --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:974551643] in No one eve...

ArtiRock 07/01/23 11:29:52 AM #3:	If a baby throws stuff a lot for food, just feed them yourself. It's possible they aren't intentionally throwing it. They still have crappy hand eye coordination. And toddlers still kinda do, there's a reason "no" is generally one of their first words. Regardless of that, you can treat them like a puppy when they do stuff they shouldn't, like making a loud unpleasant sound when they do things they shouldn't . --- This is the duty of the Grim Angels. <cite>ArtiRock posted [p:974551679] in No one eve...

TheSuperSilver 07/01/23 1:52:30 PM #26:	I feel you brother. My daughter turned 15 months just yesterday. She's a fairly messy eater and will sometimes just straight pick up her food off her tray/high chair and drop it on the floor. I've never seen her outright throw food around though. Discipline-wise, she doesn't so much listen to Mom a whole lot but she stops in her tracks when I state a firm "No" while holding up my right index finger. I started this super early with her (around 6 months) and it's paying off because she listens to me. She's a happy healthy toddler otherwise. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius <cite>TheSuperSilver posted [p:974554341] in No one eve...
