Hi I’m just after a little bit of advice.
I have a 22 month old little boy. He is going through a difficult phase lately with temper tantrums daily over everything but one of the biggest issues is meal times. Ever since my LO starting weaning he has always been a food launcher.
The past few months there is rarely a meal time where he doesn’t launch his food/plate/spoon across the room even when he’s in a good mood and relaxed.
I have tried giving him small amounts at a time, on a plate, not on a plate, ignoring it, telling him no, eating together, lots of positive praise but nothing seems to work. He flips into a bad mood so easily and then meal time is ruined and food is all over the kitchen. It is becoming a really difficult situation now to the point where I just don’t know what to do anymore. He is my first so I’ve never experienced this before. I am trying my best and staying patient. I just wonder if anyone could give me some tips or words of reassurance that this won’t go on til he’s 18!
Thank you and hope you’re all staying safe in this difficult time x
