My just-turned-five year old niece is going through a 'picky eater' phase. Although it's against my principles, I'm willing to accommodate the 'no sauce on the noodles' and 'no milk on the cereal' requests, but sometimes a food she liked at breakfast, she'll decide she hates at lunch, and so on. The bigger problem here is that she's got in a habit lately of 'accidentally' dropping food off the table, or worse- outright flinging it! In the past week there have been incidents involving a waffle, a cup of cranberry juice which luckily had a lid on it, and sliced peaches. How should I respond to this? Her parents are very very patient, and I'm not so much.
