You’ve boiled those carrots, cut up the grape tomatoes so they won’t choke<\/a>, and readied the never-fail nuggets. But we all know what’s going to happen next: Half of that meal is going to end up on the floor. It’s such a common problem that there are even baby plates that suction<\/a> to their high chair tray so your little one can’t chuck their whole dinner across the room.<\/p>\n

Our instinct is to say “No! Stop throwing your food” or “Don’t throw your plate.” But it’s very hard for babies and even toddlers to understand what ‘stop,’ ‘no,’ and ‘don’t’ mean, explains pediatric speech pathologist and mom of two Cassidy Anderson. That’s especially the case when those words land in the middle of a sentence, she says. Cassidy offers several alternatives<\/a> when you are trying to curb this bad behavior. “What we want to do instead is to tell baby where we want the food, what the food is for, and leave that last [in the direction].”<\/p>\n
