13 year old eats with his fingers

NAS84722

I’m just wondering if anyone else can relate. My 13 year old son likes to eat with his fingers. I am constantly reminding him to use his knife and fork. Can anyone else relate to this?

  • As long as his hands and nails are clean it shouldn't be a problem.

    When i was younger I often ate with my fingers, my family was strange.  I was in my twenties when people at college became concerned about my eating habits.  I held a knife and fork properly and ate with my fingers at the same time.  In fact the metal cutlery was unused while I ate.
