I see nothing wrong with either. All of our kids were opening their own water bottles from about age 8 on.
Something my aunt suggested when my son was learning the skill was consider putting him in a higher chair (or resort to the old-fashioned way--sit on some phone books, LOL). She said her kids did better because it changed the angle of force from the shoulder (she had a longer technical explanation, but basically it was using physics to help :) That's also, btw, how she convinced kids who thought they were too old for boosters to use them--they weren't being treated like babies, they were using science :)

thank gosh some of us don't have to worry about being
nail on the head.
i was raised in a family of 6 kids.
Don't have to be gone all day to be gone during a meal time.
Since my kids were making their own breakfasts and lunches by about age 11 I do not see the necessity in making sure one is there to make it for them.

you might be-- for example- Liza dances from 6-8 on on night 5:30-6:30 on another -- her rehearsals are always 6-8
her chorus concerts are all at 6:30
but here's the thing.... (wait for it) ...it doesn't interfer with dinner you know why?
Dinner. Doesn't. have. to. be. at. 6pm.
it doestn 'even have to be the same time every night. Suprisingly enough we still manage to sit down and eat meals involving all the major food groups and have conversations on these nights --sometimes we eat early at 5pm and sometimes we eat late at 8 or 8;30 -- don't matter to us.
