You could ask them to try raising the back of there tounge up. With the ahh eee syllables. Or if your teething them with corners, have them feel the corners of there lips without the mouthpiece on there chops. then have them put the mouthpiece on there chops and get into a playing position, and feel the corners again. Then have them try and flex, or tighten that up.
