Mealtime has become frustrating, 18 months

This has always been an issue but he's recently become more energetic/ determined about it. He just really wants to throw his food.I am so tired of mopping the floor 3 times a day. I tried ending the meal when he threw his food, but he would get hungry again quickly. Now if I move to take his food away he starts shoveling it into his mouth, and then once he's on the ground he will spit it out and throw it (or mash it on the wall, feed it to the dog, squish it in his hands, etc .)It's just gotten kind of exhausting, and it's a huge waste of food. Is 18 months too young to train him not to do this- and if not how exactly do I go about it? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2tiubsm
