Guys serious question because I only have a baby boy and toddler girl. Are all kids super messy at the table and spill on chairs and the floor every single meal?!? Ages 11-4. All the same
When I was a kid I feel like my parents taught me to eat over my plate. Sit on my bottom. Don’t eat with my fingers. Use a fork. Pull my seat in. Don’t play w your food. The list goes on.
I feel like my family’s kids don’t have these same rules because other kids come over and don’t spill legit every meal? It’s not the youngest either it’s the whole clan- anything goes - no rules on how to eat like old school table etiquette.
I truly don’t know because I don’t have kids of my own at that age to gauge the level of messy.
Second question, when do you train your kid not to put their hands on a glass door? I feel like 3-4? If a 10 year old is putting their hands and mouth on a door as a joke is he too old? When is too young to start expecting this habit?
Obviously with my daughter I already teach her not to do this at 1.5 years old but other kids- genuinely curious. Thanks!
