I do think though that you might be inadvertently rewarding her for throwing food because the consequence is that she doesn't have to try the food she's throwing and she gets the food she wants. As for what to do, you could warn her that if she throws food again, it's going away and she won't get fruit or yogurt. Then you have to stick to that if she does it again. Another thing you could try is just ignoring the behavior altogether. I will say with my DD, I had to try something multiple times before I figured out whether it really worked or not.View Thread

I do like calendars though, I used to work at an Alphagraphics and I did calendars for people. So fun to see everyone's pictures.View Thread

If they have a favorite charity or were grateful to the hospital that cared for them, maybe a donation? When my grandma passed, the hospice where she stayed was so great to the family that we started donating there.View Thread
