This came up in a conversation today, DD is 2.3yr and she knows she eats different food sometimes and drinks different milk to others. DD is intolerant to dairy and soya, they make her sick and trigger eczema, but nothing life threatening.
However when we eat at friends house their children often try to share their food and so we ensure they always all eat in front of us, it seems a bit mean and so I just wonder when your children started to understand that they have to check with an adult before they eat something which they haven't been given directly.
Thank you
