Q.

My 3.5 year old if given slightly hard foods he will chew it and eat (even though it takes time) but he just swallows rice with curry. Never tried to chew . So mostly he just swallows food. Please tell me how to to make him chew his food?

A. Children find chewing to be a needless activity and would do everything they can to avoid it. A child with his stomach full will barely even touch any food item that requires chewing. Therefore, turn the tables by offering those items when your child’s hunger is at its peak. He might resist initially but the hunger will soon take over and leave him no choice but to eat the food by chewing it well.
