I need help, my 19 m old thinks it is absolutely hilarious to throw her food. She even will ask for something in particular put it in her mouth take a couple chews, spit it out and throw it on the floor. Sometimes, she decides she is done and will throw a whole plate on the floor. If we are out she will just chuck anything in site. We take away anything she throws (ie her cup or spoon) when she does it, tell her shes naughty, you don't throw food. But, she has continued to do it.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks
