Readiness for self-feeding 2/7 || When children are ready to start practicing independent eating and drinking, they show it with different signals.

👶🏻 Enthusiasm and enjoyment. The child is enthusiastically involved in eating. The child influences the pace of eating and expresses interest in the meal physically and socially. The child seems to enjoy the food.
