How do I get my toddler to stop playing with his food? Should I feed him?

This can be very frustrating but it's important to remember that most kids learn through touch and play and so applying this to food is not unusual. First, pinpoint the reason for this behavior. It could either be that s/he doesn't like it, is afraid to try it or s/he's just not hungry. For foods s/he doesn't like, try changing up the presentation next time you serve it to them. Allow them time to explore foods they're not sure about. Don't force them if they're not hungry. You can also take the food away if they just keep playing with it. Give them allowances but with a firm hand in order to encourage better table manners in the future. :)
