Hold one chopstick between your thumb and ring finger, resting it on the side of your middle finger
Keep this bottom chopstick still
Hold the second chopstick like a pencil between your thumb, index finger, and middle finger
Move only the top chopstick up and down
Keep the tips aligned
Practice opening and closing the chopsticks slowly
Pick up larger, easier foods first
Use the chopsticks near the thicker end for more control
Relax your hand and avoid gripping too tightly
Rest your elbow on the table if needed for stability
Practice with beans, candy, or small pieces of food
Keep your hand close to the food to reduce movement
Use a spoon or fork when needed
