Is it good to impose infants to What is the best approach for teaching toddlers not knocking to drop items off the ground objectstable at meals?

DiscussingDuring discussions with a friends about our children (2 years and 16 months old) I discoverdiscovered that some parents use to give their children "normal" (and sothus breakable) plates and glasses. The reason is because in this way they learn that is not good knockingdropping them to the ground some objectsis bad (since they break).

I knownknow also that some parents use tosimply do not return fallen objects if their children drop them down.

In my family, generally we use plastic plates and we returnreturn everything, trying to explain that is not good to fall fromknock these objects off the table the objects.

I have some doubts regarding these three different approaches. I know that children have to respect some rules (and the one ofnot dropping items off the titletable is one of these), but sometime they have to test their parents reactionparents' reactions (both of them have to agree and to be coherentconsistent).

So fromon the one hand you have an efficient method in which the child playplays a little role,small role; on the other you have a less efficient method, but that consentconstitutes many "tests".

There are some differences between what is the best and what we really do, and so the question are two questions are:

  1. What is the best method in your opinion (also if, do you have an alternative)?
  2. What do you do usually?

Thank you!
