Hi, the first way is to model good table manners. The second is to sit near
the child and listen carefully to what the child is doing. If the child
isn't using the spoon or fork one won't hear it being used and can prompt.
When I'm working on not dropping or throwing food in the todlar years I
stand right behind or sit next to the child so I can hear things fall and
promptly punish for the problem. A parent can hear smacking so that is easy
to fix. I occationally miss playing with food or at the table, but I try to
talk with the child dearing meal time to help prevent this. When the child
is older I make them clean up there messes and that is around 2 and a half
so they learn if I play I have to clean it up instead of doing: fill in the
blank. It is like every other thing it can be done and it isn't that hard.

How can a blind mom teach table manners to a sighted child?
