I completely lost it on DD just now. I asked her if she wanted pizza for lunch and she said yes so I made one. I put it on her plate and she started screaming and throwing it on the floor. So I took it away and said I'd make her eggs instead if she wanted it. She said yes. Then I ate a piece of the pizza and she screamed "MINE!" so I tried giving it to her and she screamed again. I totally totally started yelling at her. I was so angry!! I also have had a really bad cold all week, so I've been not as patient, but I think I still would have been mad even if I didn't have the cold. How do you handle things like this? She finally ate the eggs and what was left of the pizza. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

You are setting yourself up for a life of short-order cooking. Offer a few choices up front and stick to what she chooses. She'll get the idea in no time. [ Reply | More

My 2.5 y/o went through this phase. If I specifically ask her if she wants soemthing, she says yes and then refuses to eat it I will nit make her something else. However, I found if I just keep her at the table with the food choice she will eat it. If she really throws a tantrum, I take her out of the seat and tell her she can return to the table when she is calm. [ Reply | More

my dd will start hurling the food all over the place. i guess i can take her out of the seat next time. i get they are testing limits at this age but it gets soooo frustrating. i didn't even yell when she threw the pizza, i picked it up and tossed it. it wasn't until she kept freaking out that i just blew my top!

after she refused the pizza, I would have told her 'nothing else to eat, get down from the table please'. She then has the choice to eat or not eat. [ Reply | More

No ,they learn quickly that you mean business. This DD is just about 2 so she is old enough to learn this lesson. They are testing their boundaries. [ Reply | More
