Children of this age will grab food with their hands and send it to their mouths. They may get dirty on their desks, clothes, hands and faces, and even scatter them all over the floor before eating a lot. Don't blame him at this time, but encourage him. Praise him when he eats the food in his mouth and increase his interest in eating it himself.

Be patient and be prepared for a protracted war. Here are some tips to help you:

First of all, try not to let children play with toys or watch TV for a while before eating. You can play some physical interactive games with him.

Second, fix the time and place of eating, preferably at the table, away from TV and toys.

Third, establish a sense of ritual in eating. For example, I am very happy to say to my child before eating, "We are going to eat!" Then let the child watch you move his dining chair to the table and let him know that every time you say and do this, it's time to start eating.

Fourth, give him a spoon and try to let him help himself. Children are not born with spoons, and they need a process of learning and practice.

Fifth, set a good example for children to eat. Children's ability to imitate learning is super. They will like to imitate the behavior of adults. Eating at the same table with children, if adults eat well, concentrate on eating, and don't watch TV or mobile phones, children will follow suit and gradually develop good eating habits.
