my one year old has recently found it very fun to drop his spoons and food on the floor. I didn't want him to grow up thinking this was OK to do so I told him no quite firmly, well it ended in tears and I felt terrible. This same thing happened again this evening and I just felt I was doing the wrong thing. Now I think I should be letting him make a little mess and I am probably making dinner time more stressful for us both. I feel terrible and now if I let him do it he will be confused as to why I suddenly allow it. any advice welcome!
