Chewing with mouth CLOSED!

[Mamma_Mia]

I mean, I tried and tried before I finally gave up because his Mom didn't see any problem with it.

That's why IMO it didn't work...if mom was on the same page as you then I think it would have made a difference. My sil has said before "it doesn't bother me" and my reply is...."wether it bothers you or not isn't the issue. It's about proper manners we are teaching our children to use. Would you let him pick his nose all day? No because it's poor manners, just like "farting" and burping and LIP SMACKING".

I realize this thread is old, but I had to post this link here. I really dsi
Like lip smacking and repetitive noises, but it doesn't usually make me angry, thank goodness! It doesn't surprise me that it's an actual disorder....

My new Dayhome boy chews with his mouth open.... It's a work in progress lol!

Could a child's open mouth eating be due to adenoids or nasal issues? My son had his adenoids removed which solved also open mouth sleeping. My hubby can't breathe and eat at same time (nasal septum issues). Sometimes they just can't help it.

Oh for sure, lots of kids have that issue (I was one of them )
