Honey, I think you did what you needed to do to drive the point home that his manners where being called out not that he sneezed. He did it on purpose and was looking for a reaction and well he got one. Now he knows better. You did what you needed to do to show him that is not how we behave at the lunch table. For me...mine are all in booster seats by them selves on other sides of the tables so they can't reach, touch, or throw food at each other. They can make eye contact and talk to each other but nothing else. There has been many many times that a child will disturb the lunch process and that shows me they are finished and not hungry... they are cleaned up hands washed and ready for nap. Even if they hadn't finished. They learn pretty quickly how to behave or they go hungry and I have no problems telling the parents this.
