I always use open top cups. I transition during non meal times with sips of water, and once kids get it, I start at meals so that they can pour their own milk/water from a pitcher.
One child, 20 months, just DOES NOT get it. She does other things, like feeds herself with utensils with minimal spillage, and can scoop/pour water with accuracy in the water table.
BUT, more than a tablespoon of liquid in a cup? It's all over her. She follows directions- holds it with two hands, tips slowly, etc. Then just spits it all out like she's choking.
She is fine drinking on sippy cups, I don't buy non spill, so the flow is fast/just pours out and she sucks as well so I know she SWALLOWS liquids just fine.
It's been offered for nearly two months full time.
HELP! Sippy cups drive me crazy and she's the only one using one!
