I can relate. My daughter doesn't approve of anything healthy either lol but she loves her fruit. So I mixed oranges in cottage cheese and she ate it up. I said good job Evie you ate your food! She looked at me and smiled....then she threw the bowl in the air and it got everywhere. I didn't even react with a reaction, I just cleaned all the cottage cheese off the floor. She did this with eggs and I picked it up off the floor, put it in front of her and walked away....she ate it. Don't give your son a reaction. Just pick ot up and put it in front of him. Be consistent it works.

I relate to so many of these comments myself and so wish there was an easy fix. I have a dumper here too.. not just food, anything! For finger foods, you can try the toddler no spill snack containers. I think theres some by munchkin at target/walmart. Or check amazon? Though I feel like a dumper who loves to dump will still find a way so dont set any crazy expectations, it's a work in progress behavior change. I've gotten to a point where I'm embracing the chaos for now just because if I let it get to me I'm going to go insane. I have accepted that I can't have everything perfectly in place for longer than a few minutes. We are constantly trying to redirect these behaviors and he just absolutely doesn't get it. He thrives and lives for the chaps and messiness. Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying so we kind of just joke that we have a little Tasmanian devil... Little Hurricane Liam because left alone in a room for all of 2 minutes and it looks like a cat 5 hurricane hit it. He doesn't want to play with a single toy he has but he absolutely can't stand for things to be neatly tidied away. No sooner than I'm putting blocks and cars and whatever away in their storage cubes, he comes along and dumps and scatters everything alllll over the place. Same with folded blankets, throw pillows, sofa cushions, etc etc. I can't make a bed around here even if I wanted to because a nicley made bed is apparently offensive to him. Also, just yesterday he topped his own shenanigans and pulled all my wall decor in the living room off. No item/ thing or surface is safe. Once he's wrecked a whole room or space, he becomes totally content and happy as can be in it, all while I'm internally having a nervous breakdown.

My son use to dump food that he didn't like or want. Not food that he likes.

One of mine likes to dump things for the joy of watching the contents run or clatter across the floor. It has diminished as she has aged, but every once in a while there is a crash followed by squeals of glee.

I sure can relate,I keep my floors clean ,it's like she doesn't like pillows on couch,nothing from folded clothes in basket,comes over flipping basket all over floor,and moves on to distraction of something else,lol,and I need information or ways to get her to quit humping her blankets,pillows,she's 3 yrs non verbal autistic and she is so awnry 😆
