Frozen veggies are not a compromise. 🤷‍♀️ ⁠
⁠
Sometimes picky eaters like the soft texture of cooked frozen veggies. Serving with some butter or oil can help too! ⁠
⁠
If you want your picky child to get on the road to eating more foods, I’d love for you to get my free 14-page picky eater guide. It’s so helpful. DM or comment GUIDE26 and I’ll DM it to you.⁠

It can be *REALLY* hard to reduce the amount of questions you ask kids, but this is a super important strategy to use when working with kids who have delays or difficulty communicating.

What you can do instead:
✅ Comment or narrate about what you see happening, “Look at the airplane!” “The dog is barking too loud!”

When you know children understand and can say the word/concept:

✅ For some kids, a lead in comment with wait time may be helpful, “the dog is….. (wait) barking!”
✅ Say something silly, “You are 39 years old….. (wait to see if they correct you), if not, “NO! That’s silly. You are 4 years old!”

The tongue acts like a switch for nasal breathing!

When your tongue is resting up against the palate, the only way you can breathe is in and out of the nose. 👃

If you’re noticing habitual mouth breathing, it might be helpful to check for restrictions or other factors that could be affecting your tongue’s resting posture.

“You wanna line up your toys? Okay let’s line them up?”
“You feel like dumping your toys? Let’s dump!”
“You want to look at spinning wheels up close? I can do that too!”
