You tell me
Since most of you are a little (or a lot) more experienced in the parenting arena than I am, I'll solicit some advice from you.How do I teach consequences to Howie? How do I let him know about cause and effect without it sounding like a threat or an ultimatum? Most importantly- how do I teach him that "the meal is over when you dump your plate" does not mean, "spill the contents of your dish and/or cup when you want to get down"?
Help a mother out. Ready, set, go!

ready, set... go here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1930429002/002-1555029-9799247?v=glance&n=283155
and buy this book... there's a lot of things they teach in it that you can already be using for Howie. That book is my discipline Bible.
a book. alright, I can read a book. I'm familiar with this one, but don't own a copy. Any tips on actually implementing the dogma?
I'm not familiar with that book, but figuring out when he's getting bored at mealtimes and taking his plate away BEFORE he dumps it might help... we also just give our toddler a few bites at a time instead of a whole tempting plate to throw overboard. Good luck!
I wish I could offer some advice. My little guy is not quite at that stage yet! I'm not looking forward to it, I can tell you that much!
