Pikler Method

Never heard of it! Just googled & I have sorta heard of it. Least the part where you don't sit a child until they can sit themselves. My cousin's wife did it & IMO it was weird but I never saw it in action.

I find it a complete pain to feed on my knee, if I feed anywhere other than a high chair he gets up & runs off. I find that for dinner if we all eat together he usually eats more, finger foods anyway.

I certainly don't let him play around with his food & see that when I let him sit on his little armchair he's in control of the situation. I am exceedingly aware if he doesn't like what I give him & definitely do not force him to eat things that will upset him but also with weight issues I find that I need him contained in one spot so it's easier on me to get it in.

But then I guess that is the point it's letting the child have control of what happens????
