my daughters 9 and rarely uses cutlery If she can get away with her hands . She alsoI did, I think it’s one of the kids
My 9yo does the same. He’s so bad with cutlery I’m starting to suspect dyspraxia if it’s possible to have a mild form of it. I have other reasons to suspect too but he eats with his hands way too much for my liking. Watching him with a knife is unnerving!
Sometimes has A bowl because she drops everything.
