Little Independence

Toddler Mealtime

Does your child want to do everything themselves? Whether it’s eating with fingers or trying to use a fork, give them ways to be more independent. Talk to them about what they’re doing. If they need, help them a little. When they’re done, notice how they respond with a smile or an “I did it!” Celebrate with them!

It may take longer and be messier, but you’re helping your child to feel good and develop new skills. This will give them a sense they can try something new and succeed.
