Teaching About Healthy Bodies and Lives Just Got a Whole Lot Easier
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this review or post, but all opinions are our own.
MarshMedia has been trusted to make quality healthy living videos for elementary level school children for years. Their short videos covered our needs for a whole Health Class while we reviewed their upcoming Homeschool Special. I was not sure what to expect, but I was pleased not only with the videos we watched, but also with the way they made their products accessible for homeschoolers.
Have you ever told your kid to wash their hands, over and over? I remember one year at the State Fair we visited a display that used a black light to show how bacteria covers our unwashed hands. My daughter spent a year chronically washing her hands after that. She has returned to normal, but I learned the value of showing over saying. MarshMedia helps to reinforce lessons we are already teaching or kids by adding another layer of authority.
Subjects include
- Hygiene
- Care of Skin, Hair and Nails
- Facts About Head Lice
- Care for Ears
- Hand Washing
- Teeth and Eyes
All of these are simple direct overviews of good health habits every child should learn, but usually need to have reinforced.
A recent example might just sound familiar to you. My 5 year old son traveled out of town with Grandma a while ago. When he had been home around four days, I asked him if he had brushed his teeth. He told me he left his tooth brush in Texas! FOUR DAYS AGO!! Needless to say, everyone can use a reminder video in their lives.
Sometimes kids have hard questions and need real facts. Health is no time to get squeamish. Our kids need to know we are going to give them the facts that they need in life. If you are fielding serious health questions MarshMedia has videos to aid you. These are made with your 3rd to 5th grader in mind. Each video we watched was mindful of their audience without being childish.
Some Health Issues the are covered in this series are…
- Sun Sense
- Peer Pressure
- Manners Matter
- Good Things to Eat
- Alcohol: What About It
- AIDS Facts for Kids
- Straight Talk About Sexual Choices & Consequences
You can choose what videos you have your family watch and you can preview every single one before you choose to share them. I found that my kids had a lot more questions than I thought once we opened up discussion on nearly every subject. I am glad that we have a chance to talk openly about health and wellness before they formulate concrete ideas based on what the world at large has to say.
MarshMedia helps YOU take the wheel of the heath discussion with your family in a way that feels more natural than just pulling everyone aside for a “talk.” Check it out yourself and don’t miss their special offer to the Homeschool Community.
