I'm a single mum and my 18 month old DS is driving me to distraction at meal times. About a month ago he started to throw food around his high chair and on the floor. Sometimes the whole plate of food gets thrown on the floor! He can generally feed himself most things and doesn't like it when I try to help him (very independent!). I have to work full time so he goes to nursery 3 times a week and my mum looks after him the other 2 days - as far as I am aware he doesn't behave like this when with them. I really don't know how to deal with this at all. Should I ignore him? Take the plate away when he starts? Any suggestions welcome!
