It's our responsibility to help them be happy with everything about themselves, including their bodies. The 9-minute video is a collaboration of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dietetic Association with support from the National Cattlemen's Association, the International Food Information Council, and the Sugar Association. The video is designed for children ages 7 to 11, however it appeals best to the younger of the age range. The video promotes eating a variety of healthy foods, while keeping moving to stay in shape. In one scene, milk is recommended over fruit punch, but avoidance of soft drinks is not mentioned.
Emphasis is on heart-health.
Healthful, nourishing foods are emphasized. An accompanying guide for educators gives teachers learning objectives and activities. To order, contact your local Dairy Council representative. Some videos are placed with selected educators.
