STOP THE MEALTIME BATTLES - FOR GOOD. Yummi is the picky eater food tracker that turns trying new foods into an adventure kids actually want to join. Set a goal. Pick a reward. Watch your toddler or child try foods - willingly! No pressure. No power struggles. Just positive reinforcement that actually works. HOW YUMMI WORKS Your child tries a new food -> rates it with a fun emoji -> earns progress toward a reward you both agree on. Simple. Effective. Parent-controlled. BUILT FOR PICKY EATERS (AGES 2–12) • Kids log each new food they try - no pressure to like it, just to try • Emoji ratings ((happy/neutral/dislike)) let children feel heard and in control • Visual progress bar keeps motivation high between meals • Clear goal system: you set how many tries = reward earned PARENT-DESIGNED REWARD GOALS • You choose the reward - Robux, extra screen time, a trip, a toy • You set the number of foods to try before earning it • Multi-child profiles: manage each child's challenge separately • Full visibility into every food tried and every reaction BACKED BY POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT Yummi is built on behavioral psychology principles used by pediatric feeding therapists: small wins, clear goals, and intrinsic motivation. Every bite counts - even an "I tried it and I don't like it" is a win. DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILIES Whether your toddler only eats beige food or your 8-year-old won't touch vegetables, Yummi meets kids where they are. No perfection required - just progress. Small steps. Less mealtime stress. Healthier eating habits that last.
