Hi there, back to help out with your child's healthy digestion. And obviously, smaller portions is key. They're small, so their portions actually will be even smaller than ours. And that's actually for good, healthy digestion, because you know kids, they want to go run, they want to wolf down their food really quick and they want to get out of there so they can go the playground or go play with their friends. So, basically, what you want to do is give them the right amount of food to help their digestion. Because if they're packing it in, their stomachs aren't digesting that. And if their stomachs aren't digesting all of that nice, healthy, delicious food that you're giving them, they're not going to absorb those nutrients. And they're not going to be able to have the health that you're trying to feed them. So, let's try and make sure that your kids are eating smaller meals. What I usually like to say is two fists. Obviously, their fists are going to be a little bit smaller than mine and yours. So, you'll probably want to do maybe half a fist, or even take a look at them and eyeball it up. So, basically a good rule of thumb is, here's your grain, this is a good sourdough bread made out of whole wheat, maybe half a slice of that for their grain. One egg for their protein, maybe a small piece of fruit or half of an apple would be nice, and for their vegetable, maybe a little bit of, or one big large, I guess, thing of broccoli that we have right here. This is about the size that you want to go for, for the thing. It's nice and nutrient dense. You have good fats from the egg, you have your vegetable, you have your grain, and you have the fruit and the vitamin C. What's great about this is it's a smaller meal. They'll be able to chew it slowly and they'll obviously, once it gets in there, they will be able to absorb the nutrients much better.
