Kids don’t need bribes or pressure at the table — they need connection.
A high-five, a smile, a hug, or simple praise goes so much further than rewards ever could. 💛

When we celebrate effort and stay emotionally connected, kids feel safer exploring food and safety is what builds brave bites over time.

Try curiosity instead of commands. Instead of “one bite,” ask:

👃 “What does it smell like?”
👀 “What color do you see?”
👅 “How does it feel?”

Curiosity builds comfort. Just like Hugo, kids can learn to trust food one sense at a time.

A peek inside Hugo’s Brave Bite 🦛💛

When Hugo first meets a new food, he feels nervous — but instead of forcing a bite, he starts by exploring with his senses.

Because bravery at the table isn’t about eating right away… it’s about learning to trust food, one sense at a time.
