Abria is 28 months old. Abria’s parents want the teachers to feed her
Abria is 28 months old. Abria’s parents want the teachers to feed her with a spoon and do not want her to play with her food at lunchtime. In the program that Abria attends, the toddlers sit together at a table and feed themselves with a spoon, even though it is often messy. Sometimes they get tired and pick up food with their fingers. The teachers in the program think that it is important for children to learn to feed themselves.
How would you dialog to discuss this issue with the family?
