Those of you that let your kids eat "on the go" (ie: put their plate on the coffee table and what not), how do you prevent them from grabbing food, walking away with it, and smearing it all over your walls/couches/carpet? How do you prevent them from flipping the entire plate onto the floor? Is K just that far behind everyone in terms of mealtime behavior? I feel like if I set a plate of food on the coffee table and let him go to town I'd be cleaning for a week and he would still be hungry by the time the plate was empty!
During meals, I usually cant even put more than 3 pieces of whatever it is he is eating in front of him or he goes all psycho and swipes both arms back and forth across his tray and knocks all the food off on purpose. I'm still usually at least sitting there with him putting piece after piece on his tray one at a time so he doesn't go into psycho mode. Is anyone else still dealing with this?
Thanks!
