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!
