Allow Your Kid To Make Their Own Choice From A Variety Of Healthy Options

At this stage, your child harbors a set of his own choices when it comes to different things. It is good to allow your child to make their own choices about what they want to eat, instead of dictating what they should have. This makes the little one feel that their opinion matters and gives them a sense of responsibility.
Of course, you should ensure that the choices offered are healthy ones. Instilling a sense of self reliance in the child from an early age can be very beneficial for them in the long run. Once your child has attained an age where he can hold his spoon and eat food on his own, give him the liberty of choosing what he wants to eat.
This is not to say that you give him just about any option to choose from. Keep only healthy options in front of him and allow him to choose from those. This exercise will accomplish two things. Firstly, your kid will learn to make healthy choices in life and secondly he will develop a sense of self-dependence. He will feel like his decisions matter in the scheme of things and this is a healthy thought process to have.
