    Usual living habits need parents to guide their children to do it by themselves, and if parents have to feed this kind of thing all the time, the children will definitely not want to eat by themselves. Don't spoil your child too much, tell him that he needs to eat by himself when he is so old, and make it clear that as long as he can eat or not, let him starve.

    You have to teach him how to eat it himself. Then train little by little. You can eat it yourself for a while, feed it for a while, and then slowly let him do it himself. Don't blame him for eating slowly, eating is everywhere.

    And you have to control your snacks before eating, otherwise he won't be able to eat.

    I can't eat by myself until I'm 4 years old! As soon as they learn to walk, they should start teaching them to sit and eat, and when they get used to eating by themselves, they can start teaching them to eat by themselves.

    These are not based on age or anything, but from the beginning of "good habits should be cultivated from a young age" is the focus of education at a young age. Without good inertia, coupled with the fact that the child will go through a rebellious period in the future, it will be even more difficult for the future to teach independence.

    Although this age is a bit late, I can still figure out how to do it.

    Note: It is recommended to try to be as light as possible, at least less than half of the adult taste. In this way, they are less likely to be picky eaters, and they also like to overeat paranoid foods.

    Second: get the people around you to cooperate, and when appropriateBlock in personothersEncourage your child not to be obedientcontents. It will only drag down the effect of education, but instead indulge the habit of opening your mouth with the habit of eating.

    If you don't stop it in front of the child when other people encourage you to be disobedient or something, it will create the illusion that as long as you are in front of other adults, you don't have to obey and it's okay, which is a great drag on the educational effect! When a child is young, he doesn't understand any reason, he will only judge by his feelings, and as long as he feels that others "won't be forced" to stop what he says, he will want to "try" the inertia.

    As the saying goes, "curiosity kills cats", it is easy to be taught to deviate from listening to parents, but to listen to "other people".

    Third: it's not good yetBefore eating on your own, usuallyDo not give it to childrenEverythingSweet, non-formal mealsorSnacks and the like。AlsoDon't allow others to give your child anything to eat, and give them a clear explanation to stop it, otherwise it will only drag down the content of serious education.

    If you learn what to reward when you eat, you will only be connived, even if you are obedient, there is no sense of punishment and reward, but you will not be obedient.
