Mindfulness
The Mindful Snack
https://positivepsychology.com/mindfulness-education
"Next time you have a bite to eat together, try mindful eating for a few minutes. Use a script like this to guide your children through the exercise:
Let’s try something called mindful eating. It’s where you slow things down when you eat so you can notice things you don’t usually notice. What does your food feel like to touch? What about the smell? What if you squish it a little – what does that feel like? Now take a bite but chew very slowly. Really notice your mouth moving up and down. Can you feel the food against your tongue and between your teeth. What does it taste like? What does it feel like? Keep chewing for a little while (20 to 30 seconds). When you’re ready, notice what the food feels like as it moves down your throat and towards your belly."
