Great! It was interesting reading the comments to this!

Hope she has stopped, but you need to just keep telling her it’s bad.

just keep telling her it is naughty and she will grow out of it, one of my grandkids was shocking and even embarrassing with it and she grew out of it by the time she was 2.5

i hope it is just a phase

That’s so tough! My little guy only did it for a while, and all we had to do was taking of him, until he settled the give it back… And repeat lol

Mine did that when she was in her high chair so we stopped putting her in the high chair and either let her have a floor picnic (tablecloth that was easy to wash) and she is fine now. She has a toddler table that she is very happy to sit at now.

i hope she has gotten better

Hope you managed to find the answer you were looking for.

Is she still doing it?

she is probably not hungry

Might be put on kids TV show her like when feeding her.

It’s probably a phase. If she does it take away the food. When she gets hungry she will understand not to throw food.

Hope you have manages to stop her doing this.

For a minute there I thought your child was physically throwing her food up. Throwing it around is a bit different, I think she thinks it is a fun game. I am not sure how but you need to let her know it is serious, ask daddy to say something to her(if there’s a daddy)

I hope this situation has resolved itself for you.

Get her to help you make it or plate it up… then she has “made” her dinner and may approach mealtime in a different light.

I hope you found out the answer

Actually, now I’m a little confused as to whether shes throwing up her food, or just throwing it onto the ground. The title says ‘throwing up’ but in the question it says shes throwing it onto the ground.

I’d say as soon as she throws the first handful/ spoonful, a stern ‘no’ and take the food away from her, put it in the fridge, and put her in time out. Wait a little while and offer the food again. If she throws it, take it off her again and put her in time out. You’ll probably have to put up with a few tantrums before you break the habit. You have to be firm and persistent

I would say that this is just a stage that she will grow out of… As you have said she loves a reaction and even if you don’t mean to i’d guess that you probably pull a face when she does this. Perhaps if you are feeding her in the kitchen area, you could busy yourself with a task nearby (Obviously sneaking glances to ensure she is ok) and try not to pay too much attention to her whilst she is eating. Once she realises that she no longer has an audience perhaps she will just get on with the task of eating.
You could also try rewarding her with a sweet treat if she eats her meal like a good girl…
