Chewing ability is not born, the child has 3 characteristics, then parents need to guide the improvement

From birth to growth, children need to learn all skills. Eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping all require proper parental guidance. Especially in this area of child eating, although it is said that children need to eat from childhood, the difference lies in the different things to eat. When a small baby cries, parents may think that the baby may be hungry and want to eat. So parents subconsciously feel that babies are born to eat, and do not need too much training from parents, the child will naturally eat.

But is this the case? Not really, children do not need to be trained in this area after eating, they will naturally. But the child's chewing ability needs to be exercised, otherwise, the child will be lacking in this area of eating.

My sister-in-law complained to me a week ago, my sister-in-law's child is 4 years old this year, and in this area of eating needs to worry about her sister-in-law. The main thing is that the child does not like to chew when eating, even if the meat has been cut very small, the child still swallowed the whole piece. The sister-in-law is afraid that the child will eat too big and does not like to chew, so he may choke if he swallows the whole piece. The sister-in-law also stressed this issue with the child repeatedly, but the child just did not listen, how many times to speak is not.

The most intuitive and common thing is that children are prone to choke and get stuck in the throat, which is a very dangerous situation, and if it is too late to rescue them, they may not breathe well, and in serious cases, their lives may be in danger.

I heard my sister-in-law talk so much and asked the question "Is the child's chewing function normal? Have you had more chewing exercises before?"

After hearing my words, my sister-in-law froze, staring at me with incredulous eyes, as if I had said something I should not say. Slowly, she said, "So chewing function also needs to be exercised by parents? Shouldn't this be the same as eating, the child is born with it?"

At first, my sister-in-law thought I was telling a joke, but after hearing my next words, she realized that she had overlooked so much before. I told my sister-in-law that children are born with the ability to chew, but it is not perfect, and parents need to help their children strengthen their chewing ability through later training. Otherwise, the child will not chew when eating, and swallow the food hard. And the muscles used to chew will slowly become weaker, and the child's chewing will naturally become worse. If the chewing function is not good, there will be a lot of sequelae, such as children chewing muscle strength, children's teeth dysplasia, and so on.

The sister-in-law also listened with amazement and asked, "What should parents look for in a child to check whether the child's chewing function is good?"

The fact that my sister-in-law asked this question also proves that she believes in what I just said.

Parents should check the child's chewing function from which aspects of the child are good the child can be easily seen, if your child has the following characteristics, then it proves that the chewing ability is not perfect.

A child's chewing process requires the cooperation of many factors, including the tongue, teeth, facial muscles, and mouth.

This process is not simple, for a small child. It can also be quite complicated.

What should parents look for in their children to check whether their chewing function is good?

If the child always likes to eat soft things and not hard things when eating

There are differences between children in the matter of eating, and it will also be accompanied by picky eating and other situations, which is a phenomenon that many children have.

Parents can observe their children when eating if they find that the child is eating more soft food. The child's ability to chew may be lacking in this area.

If the child's chewing ability is not enough, it is very unlike to eat some hard, chewable food. Because the child needs to use a lot of strength when chewing, but also the child will feel very hard, some children may also chew constantly on the hard food, and slowly will not like to eat hard things.

Soft food is easier to chew and can be swallowed directly without chewing, so children will naturally prefer to eat soft food.

When a child eats, he or she does not like to chew and swallows directly

This proves that the baby's chewing ability is not sufficiently exercised, the baby does not like to chew and does not want to chew too slowly, because the baby will feel in the process of chewing, the baby is feeling very uncomfortable.

Babies will be prone to vomiting when eating hard food

Children in eating hard food, do not like to chew directly swallowed, which will lead to the baby's digestive function increasing burden, and large pieces of food may stimulate the baby's "little tongue", the child feels uncomfortable and easily vomit.

If the baby likes to eat for a long time without chewing, what will happen and what are the consequences?

The baby's face will have a certain degree of impact: chewing is to fully exercise the baby's teeth, if the child likes not to chew, slowly teeth do not exercise, the baby to a certain extent will slowly grow permanent teeth. Some children will have a "double row of teeth" because the chewing ability is not enough.

The baby's language development ability will also have an impact: in fact, the baby's chewing function and language ability also have a certain relationship, chewing ability is not exercised, the child's oral muscles are not exercised, and slowly the child will form a big tongue and speech is a very difficult situation.

The baby's intelligence will also have a certain degree of impact: this is not a joke. Because the baby is in the process of the bureau kur, there is an increase in the amount of blood in the baby's brain, which will stimulate the hippocampus of the brain. It just so happens that the hippocampus is in charge of the baby's memory and learning functions. This will make the baby's IQ higher.

The ability to chew turns out to affect so many aspects, not only the baby's spleen, digestion, and safety, but also may affect the baby's intelligence. Parents, know how important the baby chews when eating?

Parents should give their children more granular food, and hard food in their daily life, and when the child is a week old, they can give the baby some normal adult food. These can promote the effective development of the baby's chewing ability.

Remember not to give the child some liquid food for a long time, after all, liquid food does not need to chew, which will have a bad impact on the baby's chewing function.

Parents should know how to exercise the baby's chewing, right?
