Letting My Son Eat Alone: It Was A Total Mess!

Hello, Hive lovers! Sending you lots of love. 🌷💗
‎
‎When our kids make a mess, how do you handle them? Are you a mom who wants to keep things neat?
‎
‎Being a mom, I'm sure you value independence and self-reliance.
‎
‎And to do that, one thing we want our child to learn is to do things on their own, even if it means a little mess along the way.
‎
‎Like what I decided to do for my son, Ryzen.
‎
‎Yesterday, I let him eat alone, without my assistance.
‎
‎I encouraged him to feed himself, even if it might be a messy process.
‎
‎I gave him a Yum Yum choco snack.
‎
‎Oh, before giving it to him, of course, I washed his hands to make sure they were clean before it would be covered in chocolate.
‎
‎While he enjoyed the sweet snack, the chocolate dip spread everywhere.

It's in his tiny hands, around his mouth, on his cheeks, on the floor, and even on his clothes.
‎
‎It was a total mess, yet adorable!
‎
‎But rather than feeling upset, I couldn't help but laugh because he looked so funny and cute, almost like he had a little instant chocolate mustache. 😂
‎
‎I also see this as a step in his growth, a part of his learning, and having fun.
‎
‎After all, when I saw that he was done, I cleaned him up.
‎
‎These little messy moments will teach him a valuable lesson of being independent and responsible.
‎
‎By allowing him to enjoy his snack and clean up himself, he will learn that making a mess is okay, as long as he tries to tidy up afterward.
‎
‎Over time, he will become more organized and capable of handling small tasks on his own.
‎
‎Until our next messy moment...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
