Kids eating habits

I have a 5 yr old and 2 yr old. Everything they eat goes all over their clothes, the table, and the floor. I have tried the small kid size tables, big table with bench, on kitchen island but nothing helps. When will they learn to eat better? I am tired of scraping off stuck on Cheerios from my wood floors!

Jesus, they are kids.

Kids are small people. At those ages, there's no reason for food on everywhere. I'm constantly surprised at how adult-like my 1.5 year old is. Parents have enough to worry about and deal with without having to unnecessarily clean up the same crap over and over again.

Re: Kids eating habits

What seems to be the cause of the messy eating? Is it problems with using cutlery or with any eating?

Have them wipe their space after eating.
