Comment “Workshop” and I’ll send you the details for my upcoming From Battles to Bites Workshop 💛

Your toddler isn’t throwing food to drive you crazy, they’re communicating (or just curious) At this age, kids don’t have the words (or impulse control) to say “I’m full” or “I don’t want this.”

Throwing is often their best option. Here’s what actually helps:
✅ Teach an “all done” signal — a sign or a word
✅ Serve smaller portions so there’s less “ammunition” on the tray
✅ Narrate calmly: “Food stays on the tray. All done?”
✅ Keep your reaction neutral — big responses (even funny ones) can actually reinforce the behavior

Save this for your next mealtime 👇

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments if this is your life right now.

Feel free to join my upcoming workshop if you want deeper support with picky eating, toddler mealtimes, and reducing food battles..

We can be considerate without being catering to every request. We are in charge of the meal, your child is in charge of what and how much of that they eat.

Instead of asking a bunch of questions on how they want their food prepared and catering to every request at the table like “I want a banana too”. We can be confident leaders.

It takes consistency but you can do it. Follow along for more tips to make your meals a success!
