Time For Independent Eating For Your Little One

Team AckoFeb 10, 2025

Share Post

Your little one is now capable of eating by himself. To promote independent eating, it is important to sit and eat as a family, because children learn more by seeing than listening.

What you need to know

Treat your child at par with adults and offer everything. A child at this age should be able to understand the need to eat green leafy vegetables and fruits, if explained rightly. Serve smaller portions and gradually increase quantity. Variety at the dining table is important to see an empty plate at the end of a meal.

Give him the necessary culinary tools like spoon, fork and knife, but make sure they are not very sharp. While packing lunch or snacks for school, offer finger food which is easy to pick and eat. If your child is comfortable using a spoon and fork, you are at liberty to give all possible food options in the box. Keep track of those items that return home unfinished. Try offering them again to understand the reason behind the half-empty box.

Supporting Your Child’s Future with Smart Financial Choices

Just as fostering your child’s cognitive, social and creative skills is essential for their success, securing their financial future is equally important. Investing in a life insurance plan, such as a 1 crore term insurance, can provide extensive coverage for your child's education and personal milestones. You can also use a term insurance plan calculator to easily find the right plan, coverage amount and premiums based on your budget and your child’s goals.

Adding term insurance to your financial strategy is a smart and affordable way to provide extensive financial security to your loved ones in today’s ever-evolving world.
