Hmm. A bit like Nelle, I'm tough on this one- one deliberate throw and that's it, meal is over, and we try again half hour later. If it happens again, then the meal is over again. I asked my chn about this one and she said "if they are really hungry, they won't throw their food" which I think is pretty true.

Mind you, that's for deliberate throwing, when he's doing it for a reaction or to make a mess, not the incidental messiness that comes with toddler meals.
