About 8_the_Plate_Parent

Why it Works8 the Plate™ looks different because it IS different. Approaching picky eating as a behavioral issue led to a unique design using child's motivation and independence to grow self-confidence at the table. 8 sections for variety and gamification of mealtime so child does not get bored and uninterested in healthy foods, like vegetables Favorite foods/treats encourage child to try new foods. Treats can be anything from chocolate to fruit, based on what food your child is motivated for that day. As new foods become less aversive, 8 the Plate teaches balanced eating. Eventually, 8 the Plate will not be needed and the entire family can cook one healthy meal and eat stress free PlateTray latching feature prevents spinning in wrong direction.
