My soon to be 5 yr old always uses left molars to chew and it is difficult for him to rotate food to the other side. If we deliberately put food on other side he would drag it instantly to his favorite one and then chew it that too in very large time span. How to help him.?

Hello there! We apologize for the delay. This sounds like a great question for a feeding therapist. There are many different underlying reasons he may be doing this and the cause will help identify what strategies will help your son the most. He may be doing this because on that side he has the most control over his food so safety-wise his body automatically moves food there. I would highly recommend getting a feeding evaluation with a speech-language pathologist or occupational therapist to get a personalized plan that will be helpful to your son!
