The children served themselves food and drinks. They also helped set the tables and clear their own plates. They felt significant and part of a community. They also felt successful and confident in their abilities to communicate, use tongs (fine motor skills), etc.If a child did not like something, they could have other foods offered on the table. However, we did encourage children to try something because they may like it. We also took into consideration sensory issues, whats going on in their lives, etc. There are other reasons why children may not want to eat something. Name: Email: Subject
