Feeding themselves

Around 15 to 18 months or when you decide that it is time to teach your child to feed themselves either because you feel its time or your child is insisting that they hold the spoon. Be prepared for mealtimes to be extreemly messy, it is often a good ides to place their chair on a plastic mat, don’t forget the bib or a painting apron (it completely covers the clothes and saves you having to change them or scrape food off them). This stages doesn’t last long thankfully and very quickly your toddler improves. By the time your child reaches three to four, there will be less to clear up and you maybe able to redecorate without the paint being ruined
