ANOTHER problem: feeding himself

[Inspired by Reggio]

I would put his things in a bowl /plate with a spoon/spork and let him try feeding himself that way ~ some kids are just VERY sensory challenged and do not like the feel of 'slip/slime/rough' on their hands .... see if he will eat that way.

that's a good idea!! i will try that. i don't know why I didn't think of that before. I've been giving my son a spoon/fork with his supper to try and teach him, maybe ill do it with lunch too thank you

Same here. I will help if need be (and if I'm free to do so), but if you give him a spoon/fork it might encourage him to eat. I just tell the kids to stab their food - I show them how, and then they work on it!
