A father is teaching his young child to feed themselves

A father is teaching his young child to feed themselves. He praises the child first for using their hands to pick up and eat the food. Praise is then given when they use a spoon to move food from the plate to their mouth and then when they use a fork to move the food. Finally, the father praises the child when they are able to correctly use a knife and fork together to eat a meal.
