What is Family Style Dining?
We, at The Tot Spot, believe that each minute of the day is a learning experience. Lunch and snack time are certainly no exception. These times provide the children with the opportunity to learn manners, as well as appropriate conversation skills. In addition, the gradual improvement in fine motor control that comes through practice enables the children to pour their own drinks, scoop their own peas, cut their own meat and use dining utensils successfully. The concept of making good choices also comes into play; for example, if they do not like peas, taking three scoops would not be a good choice.
