About This Quote

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon. Spoon feeding is a form of manipulation which is seen as a way to make people feel better about what they are doing. But, there are instances where spoon feeding is not only done out of love, but it is also beneficial for the one being spoon fed. Spoons are used by parents to help young children eat, and the act of spoon feeding helps teach children how to eat safely. It provides both child and parent with knowledge of safe eating practices.
