How can I encourage my 2-year old to self-feed herself? She's used to me feeding her food all the time.

i used to keep a designated bowl and spoon for my baby and keep it on the table next to my plate. as we would eat the same food, i would put some in hers and then we both would start eating together. if she refuses initially or doesnt know how to go about it, show her slowly by doing the action yourself, or guide her.
