Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, Thanks for asking. In my opinion you can try following things for him.
1. Give him food at his regular meal time. If he refuses to eat then take away the plate and then again give him food at the next snack or meal time. Do not insist or bribe him to eat.
2. If he throws the food take away the plate and food and do not offer him more till the next meal time.
3. When he kicks or bites or pulls your hair, put him in a high chair in a time out corner for around 2 to 3 minutes.
I hope these tips will help you to manage him better.
