2. Make your kitchen accessible to your child. Find a low
shelf or drawer to store cups, placemats, and utensils within your
child’s reach. Buy glass cups and inexpensive ceramic plates (IKEA is
great!) that you don’t mind getting broken. Invite your child to set
his own place at the table. A bigger step stool, or a learning tower
can be a great help to little people who want to join you in the fun
cooking activities at counter height. And, of course, when it comes
time to sit down and eat, encourage your child to feed himself: Even
young toddlers can eat finger-foods on their own, and start using a
spoon; this is what they do in their Montessori classrooms, too.
