Why is it good for children to eat with their hands?

Do not eat with your hands! It is the phrase that is passed down from generation to generation when children are in front of jelly: but are we sure it is the right thing to say?, writes focus. it.

It seems not: letting them dip their little hands into the plate and fumble to bring the food to their mouths (with clean hands, of course) seems to be very good for children's psychophysical health, because it lays the foundations for an education of healthy and balanced food in the future.

This theory is supported by a study conducted by the University of Nottingham, according to which young children who are not forced to use spoons or cutlery, but take food with their hands, create a more direct relationship with all foods, influencing also in the relationship with food that he will have for life.

Scientists conducted an ongoing experiment with 155 children aged from 20 months to 6.5 years. Some of the infants were given a diet based on baby food and similar preparations, served delicately.

Another group was allowed to eat small portions of carbohydrates and proteins with their hands. When it came time to see the effects of this experiment, all the babies were offered sweets and carbohydrates or fruit and vegetables.

Sweets or fruits?

Children weaned on baby food chose sweets without hesitation, while those using their hands spontaneously jumped towards fruit and vegetables.

"Perhaps because these 'disorderly' children were not afraid of touching food and therefore could enjoy the sensations that precede the sense of taste, such as smell, sight and touch", add the authors of the study.
