We usually teach children mainly about eating manners and how to hold chopsticks. What is the most important thing to hold chopsticks correctly? The most important thing to hold the chopsticks correctly is the muscle strength of the fingers! I think they are stiff because we usually do not use them at all.

While training to loosen these muscles, you will actually practice grabbing what you can grab, which will motivate you and make the practice fun. Also, the way you eat shows how you feel about the other person. Are you eating in a pleasant way? You are having difficulty grasping and eating with cross chopsticks or tearing your food with one chopstick at a time. You are eating like a dog.
