Teaching your child about food can be a difficult task. You want them to know how to nourish their body, but also to enjoy a treat every now and then. There is a fine line between a healthy relationship with food and one that sets them up for food-related issues down the line. Children are impressionable beings. They will pick up on how you treat different food options. Teaching them healthy food habits at a young age can help set them up for a good relationship with what they eat.

During my counseling sessions, I consistently try to leave clients with a practical tool that they can appreciate the justification and implementation of in their daily lives. Mindfulness feels impossible to achieve in the beginning, but every step towards mastery provides growth and change. I said before, mindfulness is and continues to be a practice for me! I am not a master or guru. I am simply trying to live my best life and, although, that is laughable on most days…I am still doing my best.

In today's society, it seems like getting children to go outside can be very difficult. They are more focused on playing electronic games and watching TV and it can be very hard to tear them away from these things. As a parent, you are probably wanting your kids to play outside more because it is good for them. The sun gives them Vitamin D and playing outside improves their cardiovascular health so outdoor time should be important to every family. If you are a parent that is struggling to get your kid off the couch, here are some tips that can help.

We all want our children to be safe, but we as caring parents also do not want to stunt our children's growth. Children should be able to live in a safe environment, while also being able to openly express themselves and have fun as children do. As the adult in the house, it is up to us to ensure that they can have the best of both worlds. Here is a list of some useful tips to provide your children with a fun and safe living environment.

If you’ve had a child, you’ve probably thought about what the planet will look like in the future. Really, even if you haven’t had a child, you’ve probably thought about that at least 1 to a million times.

When this miraculous event occurred (having the child, not thinking about the future), did you begin to take steps to mitigate your and your family’s impact on the planet? Oftentimes, with babies comes more waste. It’s not always the case, but it is more often than not in our Western culture.
