💡 What This Lesson Covers:

In this short, encouraging video, Lyndee helps kids understand how to fuel their bodies with energy-dense, nutritious foods—especially during times of rapid growth, illness recovery, or low appetite. Kids will learn how to create a “Power Plate,” try out fun food add-ons called “Power-Ups,” and feel supported even if they’re a little picky about textures or tastes.

🎥 Lesson Breakdown:

  • Intro: Understanding why bodies sometimes need more energy.

  • Energy-Dense Foods: Choosing smarter, not more—like smoothies, nut butters, and eggs.

  • Power-Ups: Tasty add-ons (cheese, oils, yogurt dips) that boost nutrition in every bite.

  • Power Plate: A balanced plate includes protein, grains, fruits, and veggies working together.

  • Picky Eaters: Encouragement for exploring food at your own pace with small steps.

  • Outro: Every bite counts — you have the power to fuel your body and feel great!

📝 Key Takeaways for Parents:

  • Some kids need more calories—especially during growth spurts or recovery periods.

  • Small bites = big energy: Focus on nutrient-dense foods like peanut butter, cheese, and fortified cereals.

  • Easy “Power-Ups” help picky eaters: Add flavor and energy with small mix-ins like olive oil or yogurt.

  • Build a Power Plate: Protein (muscles), grains (energy), fruits + veggies (overall health).

  • Picky eating is normal: Let kids explore new foods slowly, with compassion and curiosity.
