Why it helps at the dinner table

Children copy what they see. When parents practise good table habits themselves, the meal becomes a shared routine rather than a list of corrections.

How Kalmdix helps

A parent's goal stays private: Kalmdix never announces it or comments on it at the table, and for the family it is a normal meal. After the meal, the parent sees how it went. Parents never earn points.
