You've probably heard that resistive, chewy foods are good for jaw development. That's true — but it's not always that simple. In this episode, we talk about why chewing matters no matter what your child's diet looks like right now, and what you can do to increase their chewing, without changing what's on their plate.


In this episode:

• What thorough chewing does for digestion

• Why chewing is a nervous system regulation tool

• Practical strategies: modelling, slowing the meal down, and more

• Signs that chewing difficulty might point to something structural worth looking into
