Children often misinterpret bravery as the absence of fear, making emotionally demanding situations feel overwhelming and unmanageable.

The Carrot of Courage reframes bravery as action taken despite fear. It provides a tangible, character-based method that helps children face discomfort with structure instead of avoidance.

Use the Carrot of Courage when a child struggles with a fear or resists something unfamiliar.

Use Case 1: Conquering Fears

  • The Carrot acts as a “brave buddy” for fear-based challenges.
  • Begin with a small, manageable step such as sleeping with a bright nightlight.
  • Gradually reduce support by dimming the nightlight over several nights.
  • The Carrot stays present throughout the process until the child feels confident.
Use Case 2: Encouraging New Habits
  • The Carrot rewards any attempt to step outside the comfort zone, such as trying a new food or skill.
  • This recognition motivates repetition and turns courageous actions into habits.

Each MotiVeggie represents a different emotional competency. Together they form a system that converts complex emotional challenges into structured, achievable steps.

Carrot & Cabbage: Building Lasting Bravery

  • Carrot: Supports preparation and exposure when confronting fear.
  • Cabbage: Rewards the final independent achievement, such as sleeping without a nightlight or performing a skill alone.
Benefit: Children transition from guided courage to independent confidence.

Apples & Carrot: Conquering Fear
  • Apples: Reward incremental exposure steps, such as interacting first with smaller animals.
  • Carrot: Celebrates the breakthrough moment—engaging confidently with a large, friendly dog.
Benefit: Fear becomes a structured challenge instead of an obstacle.

Adapt the system to your environment and routines. Structure remains constant, but your messages provide meaning. Personalize notes to reinforce effort and courage rather than just outcomes.

Children gain emotional skills that scale with them—resilience, courage, and the confidence to act despite uncertainty.

TESTIMONIALS

What our customers have to say

"Kids see them as toys and rewards but we parents see them as tools to mold the successful men and women of tomorrow. We use the Apples and Cabbage constantly with our older boys (9 and 11) to help them in school and the Carrot has helped our daughter overcome her fear of the dark! All our kids save their notes, too, it's really heartwarming."

"We love the Apples! Our children are younger, between the ages of 3 and 5, so they are just learning about different emotions, what to do when you feel them, and how to react properly. The apples, with their different expressions, really helped us direct conversations with the children in a healthy manner. We highly recommend them to other educators and caregivers as fundamental teaching tools."

"I have been a professional caregiver for over 3 decades, working with children from infants all the way through middle school and beyond. These little MotiVeggies are a first of their kind allowing me to quickly rid children of tantrums while also providing really positive praise for good behavior! I recommended the MotiVeggies to all my clients and not one of them has regretted buying a set or two."

"My daughters love the Apples and Cabbage! They both do gymnastics and we have used them to help them get psyched up for competitions with the apples serving as little achievement bonuses along the way to keep them motivated. No matter how they do, they always get to see the cabbage after the competition and that's really helped them stay positive, even when they don't place."

"MotiVeggies are a really innovative system for new parents! I have twins that were really scared about their first day in Kindergarten this past Sept. Luckily, they each had their Carrots to keep them company and keep them brave on their first day. We had gotten the carrots to help with a fear of dogs and the dark but have found them to be useful at the dentist, doctor, and now for school too!"
