Autinomic is proud to introduce our innovative Food Roulette feature, specially crafted with the needs of children in mind. We understand that mealtime can be a challenging experience for some children, particularly when it comes to making choices. That's why we've developed the Food Roulette – a fun and interactive way to transform mealtime into an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
Dinner is served! Let's all join at the table and bring out the Food Roulette. Spin the roulette and take a bite of the food category it lands on. This can be carbs (potatoes, pasta, rice), protein (meat, fish, tofu) or veggies. Then spin the roulette again for each bite.
Did you run out of one of the food categories? Great! You can now disable that category by tapping the image. For example, you ate all of your potatoes and therefore you disable the carbs category. From then on, the roulette will only land on protein or veggies. Let the fun continue!
Repeat until your child's plate is completely empty and celebrate!
For children who may struggle with starting to eat or deciding which bite to take next, the Food Roulette offers a solution. By introducing an element of fun and surprise, this feature takes away the stress and anxiety associated with food choices. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by options, children can spin the roulette and let fate decide their next bite, turning mealtime into an engaging and stress-free activity.
Suppose a child is hesitant to start eating or finds mealtime stressful or tiring. In such cases, the Food Roulette gamifies the dining experience while alleviating decision-making stress. After each bite, the child can simply spin the roulette again, allowing fate to determine their next selection. With no need to think or decide independently, the focus shifts from stress to enjoyment, promoting a positive mealtime experience.
But the fun doesn't stop there! The Food Roulette is designed for interactive dining experiences. Encourage the child to spin the roulette, and watch as excitement fills the table. Once the selection is made, everyone at the table can join in, taking the same bite as chosen by the roulette. This interactive approach not only makes mealtime enjoyable but also encourages the child to eat independently.
Why does the Food Roulette limit me to disabling just one food category?
It's intentional that you can only disable one food category within the Food Roulette. Here's why: If you were allowed to disable two categories, it would leave only one category on your child's plate. Consequently, the roulette would consistently land on the same category, eliminating the surprise element that makes the Food Roulette engaging. However, fret not! With the decision-making stress now gone, your child can focus on enjoying the remaining food on their plate without any hassle.
Is there a chance for the Food Roulette to repeatedly land on the same category?
While the Food Roulette is designed to bring excitement through surprise, it's true that it may occasionally land on the same category twice in a row. However, rest assured that the roulette ensures variety by limiting consecutive spins on the same category to a maximum of two times. On the third spin, the roulette will always land on a different category, ensuring a diverse and enjoyable dining experience.
