Kindra is exhibiting the phenomenon called just right.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • “Just right” phenomenon can be observed in behavior of the children who follow certain routines and foods. They were very much obsessed with what they need. They have some expectation on how the food should be arranged on their plate in specific way.
  • The “Just right” phenomenon can be noticed in children with three years of age. But it decreases gradually with age.
  • In the above scenario, Kindra wants her food from certain plate and specific cup which is meant for her. She always wants a folded napkin next to her plate while consuming food. She likely exhibits “Just right” phenomenon.
