Most of the children are fed by mother, it's direct into the mouth and are forced to eat.. showing TV or cell phones This way they just swallow without chewing.
So wait till the child gets hungry and let the child eat himself and see the change.
Remember process of digestion begins in our mouth itself. Never give biscuits or anything before meals.
