[quote=Anonymous]Point out to her that she has chewed and swallowed without water when distracted and everything's fine. Suggest to her that she cut her food up in bite-sized pieces, and take it slow, but eat, and sip water normally, not to wash down each bite. Point out to her how MANY five year old's have choked and yet gone on to live for years and years successfully eating, and she can too - she just needs to trust her body, both to chew and swallow AND to cough something up if it's not going down right.[/quote]
