2) Another way is to take a piece of paper tape and apply it to the mouth so they are forced to breathe through the nose for a minimum of 3 minutes.You can also try this with filling a little water in the mouth and holding it without gulping it down. This can tell us if mouth breathing is a habit or they can actually not breathe through their nose.
