ohhhhhhhh i am sooo there with you!!! I want to scream everytime LOs throw thier sippy off the high chair tray or the food.  It drives me mad.  Problem is i will take the sippy away or food but then they are hungry and thirsty.  I try a stirn no and get giggles!! grrrrrr!

I really hope this is just a phase! I will GLADLY take any advice!

18 months old or so?  Maybe less.

It didn't last too long with DS. Of course there will be random days where he does it, but it's not often anymore, thankfully!

So do I just ignore it and take away the item she keeps throwing down? Any tips on how to correct this behavior?

DD did this and stopped within a few days. We kept telling her "No we don't throw food." If she did it a second time, mealtime was over and she had to help clean up her mess. I would wait ~30 minutes and then re-offer her a meal if she hadn't eaten enough.

Be consistent!  If you want to stick with taking x away when she throws it then do that!  With B we say all done and take him out when he throws.  It hasn't sunk in yet, but here's to hoping it will soon!

Oh.. I hear you... same thing here... She picks up cheerios one by one and drops them on tthe floor... throws sippy... etc.. I realize now what a mistake it was to paint our dining area an offwhite color...  The walls have so much food splattered on them!!!  and yes.. when I say "no".. I get the giggle face, too.. she thinks it is funny.
