It helps them in developing their fine motor skills, including learning to pick up food with their hands, fingers and then utensils. They also learn to pick up and hold various sizes and shapes of food, building independence and self-confidence in doing it by themselves. Mealtime with toddlers can be a challenge as they exert their independence and decide what they do and don’t want to eat. It can get messy, but your child is continuing to learn and experience the sensory components of food: taste, flavor, smell, texture, and appearance. Self-feeding is important so children can learn to understand their own internal cues for hunger and fullness. Eating meals together is so important. The family table is a good place to set an example for your child. During mealtime they’re learning how to use utensils and watching how others eat can help.
