So that they won't get mad and throw their food or hit you or bite you?

geez! if they hit you or even bite you, what kind of child did you give birth to? just disown him, or like that penguin man in the batman movie, throw him in the sewer....

Throwing Food:
- Take away the food every time the child throws some of it, (at least for a few minutes). He will learn to appreciate it.
Hitting & Biting:
- Place the child far enough from you so that he can see you, but isn't allowed to sit directly by you. It will make him aware of how such actions can distance him from those he loves.
- If necessary, a little tap on the wrist is suitable. It will make him aware of what pain feels like.

There's a lot out there about this (Dr. Sears has a really good book on the discipline issues).
Personally, our child eats his finger foods on his own. He still needs to be fed non-finger foods. But the second he throws the food, the food is taken away...he can't be that hungry if he views it as a toy rather than food.
It takes time, but it works and eventually they realize it is not acceptable to toss food.

take away things when being thrown, if your baby doessomething you dont like i found with my two at a young age they were more hurtt if i withdrew my attention. so if they are naughty as hard as it is to hear the cry etc put them alone in crib/seat as long as it is safe and they will soon realise you are unhappy. at this age i found shouting etc got no response. every child is different so enjoy getting to know what works best - continue to praise when they do things the way you wish and talk about what they have done wrong when you punnish...good luck enjoy the journey

Food is for eating, not throwing. When they start throwing, they are done. Take it away and throw it away. You won't have to do it too often, he'll catch on.

I work at a daycare and we always use the "no thank you". Which is beyond silly. The thing is they dont understand what they are doing is "wrong". Show examples of what to do instead of scolding them for the thing he/she is doing. As long as you are consistent, the child will begin to understand without any negativity.

I have a one year old, and he's starting to discover that he can do things like that and see how far he can push me. I simply tell him no 2 times, and on the third time, I just pick him up, and put him in his crib for one minute. When he comes out, he doesn't do it again. I found that slapping the hand wasn't working. Time outs seem to be working for me, 1 minute for each year is enough.

Take it away. When they start throwing it they are done.
