Description

*** First-of-its-kind APP, based on award-winning book, bundles inspirational children’s story and fun games with caregiver/educator tools, resources & recipes to foster fit, weight-wise kids; APP also promotes peer empathy and tolerance ***

Based on the award-winning, ground-breaking children's book “Making Healthy Choices--A Story to Inspire Fit, Weight-Wise Kids,” this APP is intended to motivate and empower overweight and obese children to get, and stay, on a healthy track while also supporting and enabling parents, teachers and other caregivers and educators with helpful resources.

The APP also serves to help children better understand and empathize with peers currently struggling with a weight problem, which can lessen the incidence of bullying.

The APP features 6 distinct value added sections:

1) Powerful Award-Winning Children’s Story –APP includes the complete digital eBook of the illustrated children’s paperback "Making Healthy Choices—A Story to Inspire Fit, Weight-Wise Kids” that garnered acclaim from Oprah Winfrey's personal trainer Bob Greene and Sally Jessy Raphael, among others. APP provides both the Boys’ and Girls’ Edition to assure the story resonates with the young reader.

APP’s eBook is self-contained within the APP--Internet access is not required, and includes keyword search, “favorite” bookmarking, text highlighting tools.

2) Story Discussion Question Prompts - Adults are also encouraged to read this eBook, either with the youngster or separately, so they can key in on specific scenarios that resonate with the child. To facilitate discussion between caregivers/educators and children, the APP comes with gender-specific question prompts that relate to the story, offering a non-confrontational method of establishing communication on this vital subject. This story-specific Q&A offers a non-combative opportunity for the child to express thoughts and feelings on a sensitive subject. The Q&A also fosters impactful classroom discussion.

3) Fun Activities –APP also contains gender-specific, health-themed game and activity sheets, including a Healthy Food Crossword Puzzle, Maze, Word Scramble, Letter Shuffle and Connect the Dots, which can be exported via email in PDF format so caregivers/educators may print, reproduce and allow children to utilize the fun worksheets offline.

4) Healthy kid-friendly recipes – APP features a Recipes section that contains kid-friendly recipes that are offered by category: breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, side, dessert, beverage and ‘all recipes.’ Recipe section is alphabetized, is keyword searchable, has a “favorite” bookmark feature, and allows users to export recipes via email in PDF format so they may print, share and utilize the material outside of the APP and/or offline.

5) Free Online Tools and Resources – Not just for children, APP also includes a caregiver/educator quick reference hotlink list with online tools that can help foster fit kids, including internet calculators, online quizzes, interactive games, videos and other germane kids’ health APPs. Users are enabled to export this document via email in PDF format so they may print, review and utilize the information outside of the APP and/or offline.

6) Research, Information and News – APP also contains a separate caregiver/educator quick reference hotlink list of germane news headlines, important statistics and findings, information sources, helpful programs and more. Users are enabled to export this document via email in PDF format so they may print, review and utilize the information outside of the APP and/or offline.

While paperback version cover price is $11.95 for either the Boys’ or Girls’ Edition, APP offers an economical alternative since it comes bundled with both editions plus value-added resources for children and adults.
