Time to Build a Little Independence


Its hard to believe that time can really move as quickly as it does when you have a child. They go from newborn to toddler in what seems like a blink of an eye. One minute you are breastfeeding at 3 am and the next minute your 9 month old begins to grab for the spoon and will no longer let you feed her. Some kids learn how to use utensils and feed themselves without much help at all while others are reluctant to try at all. As parents we want them to learn to become independent yet don't always know how or when. From 9 months to 12 months babies grow into toddlers emotionally, physically, and developmentally they are all over the place and its difficult to sometimes keep up and amazing to see how quickly they seem to change overnight. It's the time when you are transitioning them from baby food to toddler food and allowing them a little freedom when it comes to trying to feed themselves. Our next Chunky Monkey class is all about helping your kiddo find their own feeding time freedom by helping you create recipes that are just perfect for amateur utensil users as well as little fingers to grasp on to. You will leave with lots of information and tips as well as a supply of samples to take home to your own Chunky Monkey! Simply go to Stir Cooking School to sign up!
