Why it helps at the dinner table

Family meals go more smoothly when everyone gets a turn and feels included. Practising one small habit at a time, as a game, helps it become natural instead of something parents repeat every evening.

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.
