    When the child reaches the age of one, he can eat by himself, and at this time parents must let go and let the child learn to eat by himself. Some parents are particularly afraid that their children will drop the tableware when eating, so they feed their children during the meal and do not let the children touch the tableware by themselves. In fact, there is a big problem with this kind of education, if parents use this way to educate their children from beginning to end, then the child is likely to not be able to learn to eat by himself, and the use of chopsticks in the future is not proficient enough.

    Therefore, parents can try to let the child eat by himself when the child is one year old, but buy special tableware for the child. For example, parents can buy some plastic dishes and chopsticks, and spoons to put a little bit of food in the baby's small bowl at the beginning, and then put the spoon in the child's hand, so that the child can try to eat by himself, at this time parents can teach the child how to use these utensils next to the child.

    And when preparing tableware for children, you should also choose some cute and practical tableware as much as possible, if the tableware is more beautiful, then the child will have a more positive attitude towards eating. I heard that parents should know how to choose the right tableware for their children, in this case, children can learn to eat earlier, and their mastery of eating will become more and more proficient, and they will not let parents chase after feeding in the future.

    When the child is eating, parents should teach the child some etiquette at the dinner table, such as not hitting their own utensils with chopsticks or spoons casually, and not wasting food. If there is something you don't want to eat, you can tell your parents so that they won't add it to their children in the future, but don't just throw it on the table. It is necessary to educate children well, only in this way can children develop good table etiquette.

    Parents can't feed their babies all the time, and after the baby reaches a certain age, the baby can learn to eat by himself. If parents keep feeding their babies, the baby's self-care ability will be very poor, and it will also make the baby lazy. Therefore, parents must not be able to feed the baby all the time, so that the baby can learn to eat by himself, so that the baby's self-care ability can also be exercised, so that the baby's hands are more flexible.

    So when is it best for babies to train themselves to eat?

    If parents want to train the baby to eat by himself, you can let the baby train him to learn to eat by himself at the age of one and a half, at this time the baby's hand strength is relatively weak, so you can let the baby eat with a spoon first. After the baby learns to eat with a spoon, you can let the baby eat the dishes you like, but you still have to ask the parents to help in the process of picking vegetables, because the baby's spoon is particularly difficult to pick vegetables. When the baby is old, you can train the baby to eat with chopsticks, so that the baby's hand strength can be exercised, so that the hand muscles are stronger, and when you go to school in the future, you can hold the pen and write beautiful words.

    Therefore, parents must train the baby's ability to eat by himself as soon as possible, so that the baby will become more self-reliant.

    In fact, in addition to eating, parents can also let the baby learn to dress and wear shoes by himself, so that the baby can be more self-reliant, learn to do things on his own, and will not be particularly dependent on his parents. After all, the baby needs to go to school, and when he goes to school, he also needs to live in school, if the baby does not know how to dress and put on shoes, then it is not possible to let the baby live in school. And if the baby can't do anything, everything needs the help of the parents, then the parents will be busy, all day long to focus on their own attention on the baby, there is no way to do their own things.
