t you need to teach your child first />
The task of parents, in turn, is to filter this information.
That is, to provide the one that is really needed and will be useful in life.
At the same time, you should limit your child from everything negative so that he does not copy it in his behavior.
The training itself takes place always and on all fronts. The main thing here is to maintain the correct dosage. That is, you should not give everything at once, you need to increase it gradually.
This also applies to dinner table etiquette. A child does not have to know all the rules, but there are 4 main ones that should be taught from childhood.
Elbows
The first rule is not to put your elbows on the table and not to spread them too far apart.
On the one hand, it looks ugly, and on the other hand, it is very inconvenient for those sitting nearby. Only the hands are placed on the table, and the elbows are practically pressed to the body. Over time, the child will get used to it, and it will be even more comfortable for him to eat this way.
Don't talk with your mouth full.
This rule is taught everywhere, even in kindergarten. The reason for this is simple.
If you start talking with a mouth full of food, it looks terrible and causes unpleasant feelings in other participants in the meal.
In this case, food can fly out of your mouth onto the table or into your neighbor's plate.
Moreover, it is worth understanding that a person can choke, which, naturally, is quite dangerous for health.
Napkin
Many adults don't follow this rule either. So learning it will be beneficial for everyone.
It is a cloth napkin that is placed on the lap during dinner. If food falls, it will not stain clothes. It does not require much effort to perform this task. All that is required of a person is to simply place it before the meal and remove it afterwards.
But, despite this ease, many people for some reason ignore it, which, naturally, is a big mistake.
Knife and fork
Etiquette rules include a lot of information about which cutlery to use in a particular situation.
-It is enough for a child to first learn to use a knife and fork at the same time. That is, to support food with a fork and cut with a knife.
It is a mistake to use only one thing.
Even this simple action will favorably distinguish the baby not only among his peers, but also among everyone else.
These rules can be supplemented with others as the child grows older. But it is worth understanding that parents themselves need to follow them, otherwise the learning process will look, at the very least, strange.
