A. You have to teach your child how to chew the food sometimes when kids are disinterested in eating what you give their behaviour like this so that you do not offer them the food and when they like something they will eat properly after doing that so it’s just a matter of choice you have to keep giving counselling to the child to learn to chew the food properly before swallowing it
