If my child is picky, does Wise Compass gently encourage trying new foods? 

When a child is picky about their food, it can turn mealtimes into a source of stress and frustration for the whole family. We want our children to be open to the variety of provisions provided by Allah Almighty, yet the fear of new textures or flavours can be a significant hurdle. Wise Compass provides a faith friendly story platform that gently encourages children to explore new foods through a sense of curiosity and wonder. Instead of using pressure, we use storytelling to show that the world is filled with a diversity of blessings that are meant to be experienced with gratitude. This approach helps children move away from their resistance and toward a mindset of Shukr, or gratitude, for the many different types of nourishment available.
