ds (23months) has a habit of piling loads of food in his mouth and then shaking his head from side to side with his mouth open yelling and singing. Today he gagged on his food as a result, I completely panicked (am completely paranoid about choking anyway) and yelled at him. Then he got upset and I felt awful. I've tried telling him several times not to do it (calmly) but he doesn't seem to understand, can anyone think of a way of getting the message across? I'm like a tightly coiled spring at his mealtimes and I hate it.
TIA
