You
know what I’m totally sick of saying at each and every mealtime? “Chew,
chew, chew.” My young daughter prefers the technique of inhaling her
food rather than taking the time to properly chomp, chew and savor her
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
For the legions of parents in the
same situation, a Japanese company has invented the Kami Kami Sensor.
This item, which I spied on Jezebel.com, has a “plastic bar with an
electric counter that hangs off the ears like eyeglasses and straps
under a child's chin, rewarding kids by playing a song when the counter
reaches one thousand.”
Jezebel does point out that is you can’t
get your kid to do something simple as chewing there probably isn’t
much of a chance that you can force them to wear some wack-ass
contraption. I may be sick of the mealtime mantra of the “chew, chew,
chew”, but I think going the natural nagging technique is probably
best. And at a price point of about $120, I think I can afford to keep
saying it.
