A. Encouraging a 4-year-old to chew involves offering age-appropriate foods, modeling chewing behavior, and providing positive reinforcement. Start with soft, easy-to-chew foods and gradually introduce textures. Demonstrate proper chewing, praise their efforts, and make mealtime enjoyable. If concerns persist, consult with a pediatrician for personalized guidance.
