Continued development can be encouraged by incorporating games or challenges that focus on chewing. For example, the child can try to chew their food slowly and thoroughly to improve their chewing technique. They can also experiment with different textures and consistencies of food to further strengthen their jaw muscles. Additionally, discussing the importance of mindful eating and taking the time to enjoy their food can be beneficial for their overall well-being.
