A kid in my class had sensory & swallowing issues. He'd not eat hard or crunchy stuff for fear of hurting his swollen lips & gums due to side effects of some medicine. As such, we've been training him to eat ALL SORTS of stuff in class during snack time.
Yeah I know it looks gross. We mix his noodles or rice with fruits, crackers, biscuits, cookies, etc & he gleefully finishes them off.B'coz of trying for about 1 year, he can now eat prawn crackers, cheezels, chips, biscuits & fruits. He's more adventurous & willing to try new foods.
To think he used to have to eat his bread soaked in milk!
