Throwing food

My child is gonna be a year in January does anyone else’s child just constantly throw there food on the floor?… I’ve been to baby groups and have seen children younger than him that actually hold their food and eat it. Majority of the time I now how to feed him finger foods otherwise it won’t get eaten.

My daughter eats what she wants then looks me dead in the eyes as she throws her food on the floor. She wants a reaction. I've tried ignoring and telling her off, nothing works. X

BTW she was 1 on Christmas day xx

Thing that worked with my little sister is to have zero reaction when they do it. They are too Young to make the difference between a positive reaction and a negative reaction. They are just happy to have a reaction of any sort from you. If you stop reacting to him throwing Food on the floor he should stop.

Yehh it’s just back breaking to have to keep picking it up the more you pick it up he just will do it. Can cut him up like 4 strips of toast and he will throw every single one on the floor, he won’t even attempt to eat it unless I break bits off and give it to him.🙈

Yes same my LO. We are getting a dog 🐶 🤷‍♀️

He probably expects that when he throws food, he will eventually get it fed to him. Don't entertain it. If he doesn't eat, end the meal and try again later. Don't worry too much about him getting "enough" - if he's hungry, he will eat. It's likely become a game because he knows he will get a reaction and he knows he will eventually get fed by hand.
