#10: Simple Tips to Eliminate Food Throwing – For Good!

In this episode, I’m tackling one of the biggest pet peeves of moms everywhere, and a typical toddler mealtime behaviour - food throwing. I don’t know what could be more frustrating than cooking a nice meal just to have your baby or toddler toss their entire serving on the floor. The family dog might love it ( I’ll come back to them later ;) ), but I sure don’t! Don’t worry, I’m here with ALL of the tips. I’m talking NINE tips to help solve this particular mealtime struggle that I know a lot of you face. So, sweep up the mess they left from the last meal you served, get cozy, and listen in! You can start implementing my tips at the next meal, and with consistency, this problem is usually solved much faster than you may think.
