Ada dapat beberapa tips untuk ajar anak makan sendiri..dan develop table manners kepada anak-anak. Tips tersebut ialah:-


* Step 1 : Teach your child to wash his/her hands before meals.
Even older infants who are beginning to eat finger foods should wash or have washed their hands before they sit down to eat.

* Step 2 : Correct a toddler when he throws food.
Use age-appropriate language such as, “Sorry. We don’t throw food. Let us appreciate our meals, cutie”
You will need to reinforce this over and over, so don’t get frustrated with your child.

* Step 3 : Instruct your children in the proper use of utensils. A child’s physical development affects how she holds and uses utensils. It is enough that a toddler knows a spoon is for soup and a fork is for vegetables.
Don’t expect a child that young to hold the utensils perfectly. Older children, however, should be shown how to hold and use utensils properly.

* Step 4 : Use good table manners yourself. Children learn what they live.
Say “please” and “thank you” when you ask a family member to hand you the salt or ketchup sauce, for example.

* Step 5 : Don’t make any rude comments about any food being served. It will hurt someone’s feelings.

* Step 6 : Explain to your children that it is polite to wait for everyone to be served before beginning to eat, and then model that behavior for your kids.

* Step 7 : Start introducing your children to new foods from an early age. Have your child try a “polite bite” of new foods offered even if the child thinks the food looks unappetizing.
Explain to your child that he may think a food is “gross” but that he should keep that to himself rather than express it verbally to avoid offending the cook; be that mom, dad or a friend’s parent, really the height of bad manners.

* Step 8 : Tell your children that you expect them to say, “May I please be excused?“ when they are done eating and wait for permission to leave the table rather than simply getting up and leaving the table whenever they feel like it.

* Step 9 : Tell them; “Don’t stuff your mouth full of food, it looks gross, and you could choke. Chew with your mouth closed. My dear, no one wants to be grossed out seeing food being chewed up or hearing it being chomped on”. *this includes no talking with your mouth full*
