At what age kids start having food themselves? My son is 2.6 yrs old and he is not eating himself every time!???

My son ate by himself since he was 1. But now occasionally he asks me to feed him. Kids are like that. They can eat by themselves very well. All we have to do is give the chance. Be consistent. Encourage ur child to help himself. If you say you won't feed him when he is all able to do it himself, never give up. Tell him you ll feed him when he is not able to feed himself. Tell the same mantra. " help yourself when you can do it by yourself" mommy will help when you can't. Same applies for all his regular chores. Bathing, dressing, clearing toys from the floor..
