My son is 5 years 3 months old with sound learning ability and grasping power. But he still has not left drinking water from the bottle. He has also not learnt to chew food and thus eat only khichdi or bread and milk. We have tried a lot to make him eat other things but he is not adapting to new habits. Please suggest how we can make him drink water from a glass and how to make him learn to chew food and try to eat new things.

A. Mam first of all you will have to completely stop giving the kind of food your child likes to have whether it is Khichdi or bread or anything offer proper food to the child is not eating let your child stay angry for a while maybe the child will cry and you may feel that it’s insane behaviour in human but trust me when the child will be hungry when you feed your child and teacher child how do your child will be bound to learn because there’s no other option and that is how it will work and stop giving bottle to the child always offer with the help of a glass or use a glass or a cup with a straw at least you will get rid of feeding bottle because if you continue to cater these unnecessary needs of your child trust me you will be in a deep trouble so you really have to be very firm and strict with your child initially it will be very difficult but it will work
