In terms of children's diet, most of the parents' attention is focused on the intake of enough "nutrients", thus ignoring how children "eat" into it; many children are still eating particularly "soft rotten" foods until the age of 3 or even 5, in fact: let the children chew themselves, and gradually improve the baby's chewing ability is extremely important.

What are the dangers of not paying attention to your child's chewing?
From the 7th month, the child began to add complementary foods, and the first thing that was added was mud-like foods such as rice noodles, vegetable puree, meat puree and so on. As the child grows up, the food traits should gradually turn into solid, but some parents often take a conservative approach, afraid that the child's digestion and absorption can not keep up, so long-term feeding mud-like food to the child, resulting in the child does not carry out enough bite and chewing exercise, which will bring the following hazards:
1. There may be "upper teeth" in front or "lower teeth" in front, that is, "heaven and earth" or "earth cover", resulting in "tooth and jaw" development deformity, affecting the development of "upper jawbone" and the entire oral "pharynx, nose, cavity", children will open their mouth to breathe, and even snoring, thereby affecting the quality of sleep.
2. Without chewing training, the masticatory muscles of the face are not well developed, and there will be unclear bites.

How to exercise your child's chewing ability
(01)
As children grow, parents should divide food into two categories; one is nutritious food, which can ensure feeding; the second is functional food, exercising the baby's chewing ability.
(02)
In particular, it should be emphasized that some parents have changed from "muddy food" to "finger-shaped food" in order to exercise their children's chewing. For example, cucumbers, carrots, apples cut into "finger-shaped" strips for children to eat, children bite down, it is likely to eat a large piece, it is impossible to chew very badly, there may be choking, choking. What we often call "finger food" is food that can be pinched, not finger-shaped food, which should be distinguished.
(03)
Parents should understand in detail the relationship between the shape of the child's complementary food and chewing, and try to help the child improve the chewing ability as much as possible, so as to ensure the child's digestion and absorption, facial development, smooth breathing and clarity of speech, so that the child can grow healthily in all aspects.
