You may think that your son or daughter is picky but you have not meet Charlie. I can not say much about him being picky though as he goes by it "HONESTLY" as David and I are both picky as well. I wish we where not as it would be easier to make sure he eats healthy. Only in our household I do not eat Fruit of any kind. David does eat some but not enough. I will eat some vegetables but not as many or as I should. David will not eat any of them. With Suzzane it was so easy to get her to eat healthy as we lived at home with my dad and he had her try everything which lead to her liking most vegetables and fruits. So with Charlie I am going to have to make it a plan to buy new Fruit and Vegetables every week and have him help me prepare it. So once this video arrived we watched it and then went to the store and picked up some of all of the fruits in the DVD and he tried them all. He even asked some of his friends to come over and share them with him. So I must say the DVD did help us out. As it also got David and I to try some of the foods we would not normally eat. I then shared the video with a friend who has a 18 month old and because there was 7 segments to the DVD she broke it down to one section and one food each day of the week and now it has Jackelyn also trying stuff she normally would not eat.
New DVD Gets Kids Hooked on Eating Fruits and Vegetables
“Because children learn best from other children.” COPY-KIDS MEDIA, an independent media company, presents its debut DVD.
I never would have expected my child to eat raw broccoli – but she demanded it as soon as she saw another child eating it on TV. Now it is one of her favorite vegetables.
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) January 24, 2012
COPY-KIDS MEDIA, an independent media company, presents its debut DVD. Copy-Kids Eat Fruits and Vegetables is the first DVD in a series designed to encourage healthy habits in young children. This series is for children aged six months to 5 years.
Watch the Trailer: http://vimeo.com/24151268
Copy Kids Eat Fruit and Vegetables is divided into 12 chapters, each focusing on a different fruit or vegetable. The yummy veggies and fruits include: Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, Carrots, Avocado, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Oranges, Bananas, Raspberries, Strawberries, Apples & Blueberries.
The genesis for the project came when Cai Dixon noticed her young daughter was more willing to try new fruits and vegetables when she saw another child eating them. Bella liked to copy. Dixon wondered if the experience had to be live, or if a video of children eating fruits and vegetables would also work? “It did, and not just with Bella,” recalls Dixon. And so a concept was born: Find children who LOVE to eat fruits and veggies, film them eating them – and make the video available to parents. It’s that simple. Says Dixon, “I never would have expected my child to eat raw broccoli – but she demanded it as soon as she saw another child eating it on TV. Now it is one of her favorite vegetables.”
Director Malona Badelt was volunteering at an orphanage in Ghana when she was asked to direct Copy-Kids. She literally got off the plane in LA and drove to a test shoot that same day. She fell in love with the project and was able to coax the most amazing performances out of each cast member. It’s unscripted and quirky, with children behaving authentically, which gives it surprise and comedy. “I would never have gotten such amazing performances if the video had been scripted,” says Badelt. “Each child brought his or her own piece of magic to the project.”
For parents, the DVD also features an interview with renowned pediatrician Dr. Jay Gordon, MD, FAAP, author of Good Food Today, Great Kids Tomorrow. He talks about childhood overweight and obesity, suggests ways that parents can get their children to make healthier food choices, and explains why Copy-Kids is such a powerful idea, noting "That's just the way kids are, they love to copy other kids."
Selected as one of the 10 Best Audio/Visuals for 2011 by Stevanne Auerbach, PhD. / Dr. Toy.http://www.drtoy.com/product-view/?productid=119 It’s a unique tool for parents who want to encourage healthy eating in their children.
This innovative DVD is engaging & enchanting – kids want to play it over and over as they learn to love these healthy foods. Dixon adds, “Just be sure you have these foods at home – because your kids are going to want to eat what the Copy-Kids are eating.”
