Chucking plate and cup after eating

[Whenspringcomes]

Dd, 2, 8 is going through a phase of finishing her dinner and proceeding to chuck her plate and cup at me/on the floor. We’ve told her firmly, shouted (hate doing this) switched the tv off immediately if she’s been allowed to watch, kept her in the chair for longer afterwards so she’s not allowed to play because she’s throwing cutlery etc. Nothing works 🤷🏻‍♀️
Any suggestions of what to do/why she’s doing it? Is it a normal phase?

I disagree - she's two.
I'd just put the food on her tray for a couple of weeks and she'll have forgotten about chucking it. Otherwise ignore.

Mine did this and bloody hell he could throw -we just stopped dinner at that point. Nothing else.
End of meal. No telling off. Just took it away. Put child on floor.

If 30 minutes later they cried and were hungry etc -back in high chair -but you throw stuff you are out and it's put away. This was after I nearly got a broken nose though -and they KNEW what they were doing it was just a bloody game.

But we have always removed stuff he is throwing as the boy is going to bowl for England given the throw he has on him.

Mine really responded well to having their cutlery and plates and cups in their own cupboard they could access easily. Then they could choose their own plates etc for meal times and set it on the table. Little things like that to feel grown up and independent and have some control over meal times helped for me at that age.

High chairs are perfectly fine for 2-4 year olds to get them at the right level to eat comfortably.

I have tv on while we eat so I get some peace. It’s not a choice between nice conversation and tv; it’s between tired whinging/annoying behaviour and me getting to eat too. My older children have adapted perfectly well to not watching tv and they have nice conversation (about ridiculous things like tiktok and kids being daft in class).

Flinging a plate is absolutely normal, textbook 2 year old behaviour! Ignoring seems to work the best, as they usually thrive on a loud, dramatic reaction 😆
