I'm curious about when I should give my kids a knife (obviously a child-size safe one!) alongside their fork to eat with? My dd's OT asked if she could cut with a knife (she is almost 6) but she usually uses just a spoon and fork at the dinner table. I know she can use a knife to cut playdough! I guess it is an important skill to learn but it hadn't occurred to me to start yet.
When have other mumsnetters introduced a knife to their children's mealtimes?
