How should I handle the fact that my three-year-old child is asking me to feed him? He used to eat by himself, but recently he has been asking me to feed him.

First, it's important to understand why the child has suddenly started asking to be fed. It could be that they want more attention and care, or simply want to be closer to you. If you want the child to start eating independently again, try gradually denying this request. Encourage them when they take food and eat on their own, and praise them for it. Gradually, they will begin to eat independently again. However, if you don't mind feeding the child, you can allow them to enjoy this process. The main thing is to ensure that it does not become a habit for them and that they continue to develop their independent eating skills.

We have the same situation with the eldest, I just feed him myself, he'll outgrow it.

It may be related to the 3-year crisis, the transitional age when they realize that they are no longer toddlers and cling to this fact.

I bought some little treats and said if you eat by yourself, I'll give you something tasty :) It might not be right, but it worked, and then he forgot about the treats and eats on his own.
