We manage to get around a lot of it by offering choices.
"You can go to your room by yourself, or I can carry you. Which would you prefer?"

Later, dinners were cut unceremoniously short after they both were warned about inappropriate mealtime behavior. Some lessons are harder to learn than others.
But they will all be learned.
