Hi. I posted earlier about Luke having some speech delay due to fluid in his ears. One problem that has come up lately is throwing of food out of frustration because there is no more of what he wants or I don't think he should have more. Luke is a big boy, he weighs 36lbs at 18 mos. It's not that I control what he eats, but if he wants more he has had a significant amount he gets mad and starts throwing food or hitting. For example, today we had rice, chicken and plaintains (which are sweet). He ate some plantains, but wanted more even though he didn't eat hardly any rice or chicken. Since he had been sick, I indulged him until they were finished. When I told him they were "all gone", he got mad. I offered more rice and chicken, but he didnt want any and kept pointing at the empty plate signing "more". Well, then he started throwing the rice and chicken. I know he was still hungry when I took him down, but I didn't know what else to do. This lead to about 20 min of screaming and crying. Any suggestions?.....other than making more plantains!
He does this with ice cream, too! I
