Babies Explore With Intentionality
- When a one-year-old throws food, they are exploring cause and effect with intentionality.
- Babies have a "lantern attention," sensing all stimuli including our emotional responses, even if not looking at us.
Babies as Competent Partners
- Babies are active partners born to be in relationships and respond to our emotions and attention.
- Viewing babies as competent persons changes our engagement and caregiving profoundly.
Set Clear Boundaries Calmly
- Respond calmly to food throwing with clear boundaries and engagement.
- Stop the meal if the child repeats throwing food after a gentle warning, showing consequences without punishment.
