Not eating dinner

Is anyone's else's nearly 4 year old not eating at dinner time (evening meal) I make a meal knowing she will eat it, but no I don't want dinner, not I don't like it, just doesn't want to eat it. Been going on for a while. She's OK during the day i don't let snacks interfere with meals. Just SO frustrating!

Has anyone else’s toddler reverted back to using their hands more than cutlery for feeding?

I’ve noticed over the last few months that she’s started to use her hands more again, especially for things like rice or pasta.

Has anyone accidentally gave their baby a spoon of too hot food 😩

I feel terrible! I was rushing and didn’t even think, gave him a spoon full and he cried instantly 😢. He spat it out, and after about 30 seconds of crying he stopped and started pointing for his dinner. He ate the lot once it cooled and has been happy since I feel terrible 😩
