Wubbzy and The Fire Engine Review and Giveaway

My kids and I have had the great opportunity to review many titles from Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and so when we were asked to watch and review their Wubbzy and The Fire Engine DVD we were so excited.

I loved how this DVD teaches kids good things like: friendship, teamwork and decision-making. These are all great messages! My kids love Wubbzy and they love firetrucks! My husband was a volunteer fireman for a while. You can see him all dressed up in his fire gear with me in my FB pictures. My husband loves to help people and I thought it was wonderful he could dedicate his spare time to do just that.

This DVD came out just in time for National Fire Prevention Week, which was on October 9. In this new collection of episodes, Wubbzy: has a fire engine adventure with Widget, delivers Daizy's doodleberry treats, re-builds a house with Ty Ty The Tool Guy (voiced by Ty Pennington of "Extreme Home Makeover") and much more! There is lots of singing, dancing and friendly firemen too! Climb aboard for tons of great entertainment that pre-schoolers and parents will adore over and over again in Wubbzy and The Fire Engine!

Includes These Episodes:
Wubbzy And The Fire Engine, What Would Wubbzy Do?, Ty Ty The Tool Guy, Mr. Unlucky, Wuzzleburg Express & Hangin' With Mr. Gummy

Tips from The No-Cry Picky Eater Solution - Book Excerpts

These tips are excerpted from The No-Cry Picky Eater Solution (McGraw-Hill) by Elizabeth Pantley. Please enjoy and check out all her books at No Cry Solutions.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"It can be hard - almost impossible sometimes -to change your child's rigidly held eating habits. Instead of trying to overhaul every meal and snack at once, begin by making a few small changes, one at a time, toward a more nutritious diet. Pick just a few items to start with. Once these become routine, then change another couple of items. If you follow this process, you'll find that within a year you will have improved your child's overall diet significantly; and likely affected his lifelong eating habits."

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Your attitude about food is critical to your child's developing outlook. It's no surprise that studies have found that parents who don't like vegetables have children who don't like vegetables. It's assumed that these parents don't serve many vegetables and treat them as villains when they do.

One study found that the more a child is lectured about the merits of eating vegetables, the more he assumes they will taste bad and the more he will resist even trying them -- children catch on quickly when parents are trying to sell a behavior they don't truly believe in or follow in their own lives. Conversely, several studies found that when parents eat more fruits and vegetables, their children do too.Once you realize that your actions are on display to your child as a prime tool for teaching lifetime beliefs, you can modify your own behavior to set the best example. The side benefit is that you'll be healthier too."

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"What's in your kitchen? A typical home contains plenty of healthy food, along with an assortment of snacks, desserts, and less healthy fare. An adult can sift through all this and decide what's best to eat, picking healthy options and judiciously choosing the right time for and amount of junk food and desserts.Children, however, will naturally be drawn to the tastiest option, with no guilt over the resulting choice. They will open the refrigerator or pantry and pick the most appetizing thing they see.

How can you help your child make better choices? The best way is to put the healthy foods where they can be seen easily and allow your child to choose between the nutritious options in view. Place desserts and junk foods on high shelves or in opaque containers. This way you can dole out the treats when and where you feel they're appropriate."

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Health officials call soda liquid candy. It’s easy to see why: there is no nutritional value in soda and a twelve ounce can contains 9 to 12 teaspoons of sugar. A 20 ounce bottle contains 16 to 18 teaspoons of sugar! Having just one soft drink a day can increase a child’s risk for obesity by 60%."

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Make family dinnertime a routine because your children who eat with their parents will eat healthier overall, have better social skills, be less likely to abuse alcohol and drugs later in life, and stay closer to you emotionally throughout childhood, and perhaps beyond. Family mealtime does not have to be formal, structured, or complicated to reap great rewards. A night when you eat sandwiches around the table while chatting about anything under the sun counts just as much as those more formal dinners.There are four things that shouldn't be brought to the dinner table: lectures, reprimands, rigid expectations, and demands for specific conversation.The key to success for the family dinner idea is regularity-four to five times a week or more. Families that make a practice of dining together in a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere reap the most benefits."

“If your child is a picky eater, keep the correct goal in mind. The objective is NOT to make your child eat more food…but to be sure that food choices are healthy ones.”
