Meal times should be happy for kids. The piping hot food that you serve at the table is really appreciated by adults, but toddlers think otherwise!
Make it a point to taste the food and test its temperature before serving it to your child. Children are dependent on us for everything till a certain age. Your kid might not be able to tell you that the food is spicy or hot as he is young.
You can buy a special kid spoon that changes color if the food is still hot. It comes in handy when you are in a hurry.
