She was curious about finding a way to guide his behaviour without defaulting to the familiar threats and bribes strategy. So she came up with a method of storytelling about food which engaged Kai’s imagination, appealed to his sense of fun, curiosity and natural willingness to learn, which greatly assisted harmony at the dinner table and inspired creative and engaging conversations around nutrition as it relates to his body function and general wellbeing. .. And so began, what she hopes is his journey into a healthy relationship with food for life!
