hi i feed my son from a bowl myself and give him a bowl of easy to eat food with his hands. i've done this since he was 9 months. sometimes he pays more attention to his bowl and refuses the "real" meal i.e. what i want him to eat for nutrient purposes.
at 15mths he still eats with his hands BUT can now feed himself sloppy food with a spoon and i must have only purposely taught him a couple of times.
eating with him has helped but so has watching his sis.
good luck
