Aiutami a mangiare da solo

What valuable advice would Maria Montessori give to parents and early childhood caregivers about infant feeding? What suggestions can she offer for facilitating the introduction of complementary foods and ensuring that young children experience this moment as a pleasure, rather than a duty? Observation and respect for each child’s skills and timing should be the norm at the table as well. Aiutami a mangiare da solo! (Help me eat alone!), edited by pediatrician Franco De Luca, based on the WHO guidelines and the recommendations of the most important pediatric scientific societies, brings together the contributions of the operators of the Centro Nascita Montessori and wants to be a guide for all those who believe that mealtime is an opportunity to help children ‘do it themselves’ and discover the pleasure of the sensory experience that comes from the taste and pleasure of eating.
