A MUM has revealed she gets her 17-month-old son to make his own food to “teach him independence” and he even has his own replica kitchen.
TikTok user @lauralove5514 shared how she is raising her children using “gentle parenting” and tries to give them self-confidence to do tasks by themselves.
She also follows the 100-year-old education system of Maria Montessori, giving children the chance to become independent much earlier.
The mum showed how she let her child make hummus and banana on bread for a snack all by himself.
US-based Laura uploaded a video with the caption: “Some tips on getting your little ones started in the kitchen.”
She explained: “Everytime I post a video of my 17-month-old preparing his snacks, so many of you ask how I got him started.
