Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Give your child foods that can be swallowed without chewing, such as mashed potatoes or applesauce, for practice. Give your child small amounts and ask him to show off his chewing skills. Repeat the action of chewing along with him so he can continue to follow your example. Make chewing into a game - for example sing a short song or a few letters of the alphabet while your child chews so that he can understand how long he could chew. When you stop singing, he can start swallowing the food.
Offer positive reinforcement by encouraging him when he properly chews food. Emphasize swallowing slowly in addition to chewing slowly.
