- If your child is 2 years old and under, you can prepare their plate for them. Children between 2 and 3 years old can try to help themselves with help or even point what they want on their plate.
- Children over 4 years old are able to serve themselves.
- Make sure you have easy-to-handle serving utensils.
- Watch out for very hot dishes that come out of the oven, protect the handles or wait until they are less hot before placing them in the center of the table.
- Be careful not to comment on children's choices. The goal is to simplify the act of eating and make meals enjoyable while respecting everyone's appetite.

Bonjour!
Je trouve le concept intéressant mais j’ai de la difficulté à voir comment ça pourrait s’appliquer chez moi… si je mets le riz, la viande et les légumes sur la table en libre service, je vois déjà mes 2 plus vieux (3 ans et 5 ans) se battre pour savoir qui mettra le plus de riz dans son assiette :(
Il y a vraiment des familles où ça fonctionne?!
