Help Your Child Learn to Feed Himself
It is important for children to continuously improve their overall feeding abilities for the purposes of safe chewing and swallowing, as well as developing an appropriate dietary repertoire and achieving accurate milestones. For example, utilizing utensils such as forks and spoons and appropriate cups can improve hand-eye coordination as well as provide the strength to perform daily life activities (cutting, coloring, writing, etc.) Children who are found to have impaired motor skills or developmental disabilities can often face challenges in achieving feeding milestones for their chronological age, and may require support in order to reach these significant developmental markers.
