The proper way to hold chopsticks involves using the thumb, index finger, and middle finger together to apply pressure and grip the top chopstick.
However, some people simplify it by just using the thumb and index finger, which gives them less control and a weaker grip.
Children who haven’t been taught often come up with their own improvised way of holding chopsticks — and surprisingly, it still works.
If the parents care about it, they’ll usually ask the child to correct their grip.
Interestingly, most people who use chopsticks properly don’t even remember when they finally got it right — unlike learning how to ride a bike, where you might recall the exact day you finally succeeded.
