I think mom's worries about children's meals are endless. There are various things such as playing with food, messing around, eating while walking, and so on. I want you to be able to eat properly without playing or walking while eating. However, just saying "Don't play" every day does not change the behavior of the child. If you scold "eat properly" and "eat early" every day, both moms and children will have a hard time eating.

Explain the discipline of the meal concretely so that the child can easily understand it.

The words "eat properly" and "don't play" are ambiguous and can be difficult to convey to children. Basically, stick to the attitude of telling "Let's sit down when eating". If you go to another place, say "Let's sit down and eat" or pick them up. However, do not bring food to the place where you went to play. If you feed at another place, you will think that you can eat even if you get out of the chair. It's time to move around, so it can't be helped, but don't forgive everything and guide yourself in the right direction so that you can do what you need to do.

Let's get into the habit little by little while devising to make it fun

Meal etiquette is important for people who share a meal to have a good time with each other. The manners cannot be changed suddenly after becoming an adult. Discipline from a young age is important. Also, meals can be outside, and children will be embarrassed if they don't have proper eating etiquette. The discipline of eating is for children. Let's teach you how to enjoy your meal while observing your etiquette. It can be difficult for children, but let's get into the habit little by little with the aim of eating cleanly. If you teach while devising ways to make it fun, it may be a good opportunity for parent-child communication at meal time.
