Eating

Does anyone else's child/ren or yourself have difficulty eating and chewing. My daughter has had an issue with this but its become more apparent within the last year. She's not too much of a picky eater which is nice but she doesn't eat as much as she should be but it's nothing I should be worried about. 

She will put too much in her mouth sometimes to the point where she can't chew. She has always been a quick eater, but she won't chew food properly. She never has. Most of the time she doesn't chew her food enough and swallows it. She struggles in particular with breads, dough, pastry and chips.

We've tried many different ways to help, including cutting up her food into small pieces, making soups and smoothies so she can drink it instead. I just need some more tips and things to try until we find a solution. She is getting the right proportions of the different food groups so I'm not worried about that.
