Throwing food

So DD is refusing to eat. She is throwing food every where and when I tell her no sternly and take the food away she cracks up laughing.
Is there a better solution?

Re: Throwing food
I feel you on the "laughs hysterically when disciplined" front -- E. does that all the time!
With E., I've noticed that she laughs more if I'm stern. If I'm casual and say, "When you throw food, you're telling me that mealtime is over," and just take the food away and take her out of the seat, she'll respond better. Either she'll be upset and will come back and want to eat politely or she won't care and she'll go play.
Cason is a big time food thrower, smasher, etc. Usually he seems to start doing it once he is getting full, so I just tell him that meal time is over when he starts throwing food and get him out. Part of our problem is that he thinks it is fun to throw food down to the dog, so I am working on keeping the dog OUT of the kitchen.
We just went through a food stike that lasted a week. I swear all he would eat that week was peas, carrots and grilled cheese. Luckily, he has come out of that a little bit!
I guess you could try to catch her arm or hand as you see her about to throw it over and grab her hand and say "Don't throw your food. Food is for eating", but it may get even more of that reaction where shelaughs at you. Maybe ignoring it is best or acting like it's not bothering you and then just end meal time.
And just where the heck have you been, missy???? Look at those babies- so big, I can't believe it!!!
lol, moving cross country... again!!!
