My kids have turned into the pickiest eaters ever! I get so frustrated when I know that a new recipe is something that they will like, but they won't even try one bite. So I decided that they needed a little incentive to try new foods at dinner time. I created a Dinner Adventure Sticker Chart. Every time they try a new healthy food, they earn a sticker to add to the plate on the chart. Their goal is written in the cup on the chart. And they came up with the reward: a trip to the bookstore!
So far it's working great for Sawyer! He's already earned a trip to the bookstore. And he's discovered lots of new foods that he likes, too. Which I think has made him more trusting of me and my cooking! Priscilla is still a work in progress... If you'd like to try it with your children, you can download the chart here. Let me know how it works for you!
