Why it helps at the dinner table

A warm, light atmosphere makes children want to stay at the table. Missions about humour, calm and kind reactions help everyone enjoy the meal more.

How Kalmdix helps

Kalmdix announces the mission as a playful quest at the start of the meal, then lets the children talk about whatever they like. It works on one habit over five meals; on the fifth, the mission is a secret. Kalmdix never says who did or didn't do it: the results appear after the meal.
