Step to get them to stop food throwing:

1. Tell them what you expect: where the food belongs
   • No thank you bowl 
2. Don’t give too much - use starter portions
3. Very small amounts for new or unliked foods- size of a grain of rice or a pea
   • Tasting plate option
4. Catch them being good- compliment their good behaviors as soon as they sit down and throughout the meal
5. Ignore the throwing and remind them where the food goes
6. You can gently take their hand and stop them from throwing and just say “I can’t let you throw”
