Want to know something funny? I don't like eating meat off a bone, so if I ever go home and they're having say cutlets, my mum always without asking cuts my meat off and cuts it up lol. and I'm over 30...
jokes aside, what Cai said. We let Darcy practise both with dinner and when she's helping in the kitchen. That way she isn't 'on show' and trying to do it right. That said I would never expect a child under about 9 or 10 to cut steak with their own knife.
