Pushes away undesirable objects

A Social & Emotional milestone for the month 8 age range.

TIP: Children at this age can have very strong preferences and are not afraid to express them by pushing away undesirable things. The best course is not to press the case, but to make the object available again later, when your child might be interested.

Dillon loves to push away food when he doesn't want to eat. He pushes the spoon away and then screeches.

sam actually hits the spoon when he is not feeling the food love. I think he likes watching food fly everywhere.
