[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, he’s a baby and a complete blank slate. He’s learning about the world and you are his guide. He smiles. You smile back. He has no reason to think that smiling is good or bad but it makes you smile so it must be good. He throws a ball. You clap and say yay! That’s good. He throws food. You don’t clap but you run around making lots of noise and pick up the food. Is that good? Maybe not but it’s a fun game!

If you spank him, he isn’t going to associate the pain and fear with throwing food. His mind isn’t able to make that connection. He’s going to associate it with you and won’t understand why.

You’ve gotten good advice on reacting neutrally to behavior you don’t like. Stay calm and remove him from the situation. Set him up to succeed at diaper changing, eating, etc by learning what distracts him and what to change in your home to keep him on track.

When he gets older, there are much better ways to discipline and teach good behavior than physical violence. I found a variation of 1 2 3 magic that worked with my kids. You’ll find what works with your kid. Good luck! Toddlerhood is challenging but can be so much fun![/quote]
