Don't scrape food off using the roof of the mouth. Instead, put it in her mouth and slightly push down to give her that instinct to close on the spoon. She didn't say anything about coming from the side, but that does make sense.ArtistMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075064491472422475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301177409111915589.post-17053320363641442922010-03-10T21:54:07.569-05:002010-03-10T21:54:07.569-05:00Sounds like you are off to a good start!

At a Talk Tools workshop, I was taught to bring it to the mouth sideways, so that the tip and arm of the spoon hit the corners of her mouth, giving her the instinct to close completely on her spoon and pull the food from it rather than us scraping the food off in their mouth. Does that make sense? LOLBethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481397897364739480noreply@blogger.com
