Eating Too Fast – Social Story for Kids

Eating Too Fast – Social Story for Kids
, Not Grade Specific,

Written in the first person as "Taking My Time to Eat," this social story explains in simple, one-sentence-per-page language why eating quickly can be uncomfortable — an upset stomach, a burning chest feeling, choking, or eating past fullness — before showing the benefit of eating more slowly (tasting food better, feeling more comfortable). It then offers four concrete strategies: taking small bites, putting the fork down between bites, drinking water between mouthfuls, and counting chews. The story closes by reinforcing how slowing down helps the child feel good, stay healthy, and please the people around them.
