Happy New Year may it be full of Health and Happiness!

“I was a little skeptical at first… not that I didn’t think the idea was cute or that it could be used for a learning tool… but I didn’t think it would encourage my kids to eat healthier! ...Read More - Sarah Barnes-

Thanks for the great reminder. We did fall into that old rich holiday food eating habit this year, and got a bit ill. We were eating better, and getting the rainbow chart early this new year really helped to make this choice a lot more fun. Our 3 year old Willa has started to be a bit more discerning with what she will eat. She has developed a real affection for cookies lately, and having the chart has been a great concrete focal point for conversations around healthy eating. Willa has responded much more favourably than I expected, and her enthusiasm and interest is a great surprise. Just as many of the testimonials say, Willa seems to feel a great deal of pride at eating a rainbow everyday. She just ran into her dad’s office right after lunch and proudly told him that she had already eaten a rainbow today.
We just listened to the rainbow song this morning, four times. We have made good use of some of the helpful tips, and we love the website. Thanks for this wonderful system that has such a positive affect on the health of our kids (and us).
Hi Kim,
Wow! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment you left us. It’s parents like you that we created this chart for! Your daughter is really fortunate to have parents that are so invested in her health!
We are very excited that Willa has become a Rainbow Kid!!!!! YAY for Willa! The song is rather catchy isn’t it
Thank you once again for taking the time to let us know how the chart is working for your family. We are absolutley thrilled to have such amazing feedback!
