    Hi There

    I am hoping for some advice my 17 month old is defiantely finding his naughty side and at the moment is in to throwing everything but mainly food at dinner time, I am sure he thinks its a game.

    Not sure what to do I tell him no which he does understnad but it doesn't seem to work, one of my friends told me that there is no point in disciplining unitl they are about 2?? not sure this is right either.

    any advice would be welcome, I tried ignoring him when he threw his dinner at me and his dad hoping this might work but it didn't either!

    Thanks
    Leigh

    I could have written this topic myself. James is 18mnths and seems to have discovered the whole throwing thing. All I do is say no a couple of times and then take whatever he is throwing off him. If it's food I'll take the plate/bowl away and just fill his fork and give it to him. I don't make a massive fuss about it as this just seems to encourage him and I ignore it if he plays up because I've said no. He seems to get the message and goes off to play with something else. I don't know if this is classed as dicipline but it seems to work.

    lol it must be a pre 2s thing coz isaac 22 months has been doing this for a while - i agree with nesselis way of doing it. then you just have to wait for them to grow out of it. good luck xx
