At what age kids start having food themselves? My son is 2.6 yrs old and he is not eating himself every time!???

to put you at ease, it's a phase...both my kids started eating themselves by the age of 10 months, then one got off it and wanted me to feed her all the time before she turned 2. the younger one has suddenly reached a phase where she wants to eat herself half the time and wants me to feed her the rest of the time. she is 3. involve your child in family meal times, let everyone sit at the table and eat. get cute cutlery and designate a place for your child, which will be reserved and no one else can sit. try these small tricks and your child may get interested :)
