It\u2019s summer and it\u2019s HOT! What better way to cool down than ice cream\u2026..or a smoothie<\/strong>!\u00a0 With technology at our fingertips at any given moment, you can find many recipes for smoothies. It\u2019s a great way to incorporate fruits and veggies into our children\u2019s(sometimes picky children\u2019s)diet.\u00a0 What you probably didn\u2019t know is that this is a great way for your kiddos mouth to work a little harder and differently to drink.\u00a0 Make it fun by giving them a silly straw to drink it from.\u00a0 This will provide awareness to their lips and tongue, as well as extra work while they are sucking through the straw.\u00a0 It could be an easier way for children to learn to drink from an open cup since the liquid is thicker and won\u2019t go so fast as they learn to tip the cup to gauge the amount of liquid to swallow.\u00a0 You can easily play around with the consistency, whether you want it more like a milkshake or a smoothie.\u00a0 When they are old enough, have them help add the ingredients and teach them the names of what is going into the smoothie, and the actions that go along with it(cut, mix, pour, etc).\u00a0 Then enjoy a cool treat during the dog days of summer!\u00a0 For more information about picky eaters, see the resources tab for a helpful and informative website!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
