Summer of Good Food Challenge
A gentle, pressure-free way to help your child get more comfortable around food this summer.
No forcing bites. No bribing. No battles.
Just one tiny food adventure at a time.
Mealtimes shouldn’t feel like a battle
If you’ve watched your child push food away — or felt worn out negotiating every bite — this gives you a calmer way forward. It turns trying new foods into a low-pressure adventure your child actually wants to join.
Choose your starting point
Every child meets food differently. This challenge has three levels, so you can meet your child exactly where they are right now.
Food Explorer Passport
For Fearful EatersBuild comfort by smelling, touching, washing, and exploring food — no tasting required. Collect stamps and earn an Explorer Certificate.
One Food a Week
For Stuck EatersGet to know a single food each week through play, cooking, and conversation — tasting only if they’re ready. Familiarity is the whole goal.
Variety Bingo
For Curious EatersTwenty-five new food experiences, powered by curiosity. A lick, a nibble, or a bite — your child always decides how much.
This challenge is different
Most food challenges focus on eating. This one focuses on confidence — because children become more flexible eaters when food feels safe, familiar, and fun.
“Comfort comes before curiosity.”
What’s included — free
