Single kids manners lesson. Tools of the trade.
When a child is three, simply getting him/her to show interest in food and eat it, even if that means using his/her hands, is good enough. Using utensils seems less important and sometimes a young child's level of dexterity makes holding utensils difficult anyway. By age four however, teaching children to use forks is possible and not really difficult to do. Whether a child holds a fork in exactly the right way is not so important in the beginning. The main thing is that he/she tries to hold it and practices using it and other utensils. (Maybe not knives until age five.)
