“Most kids, given a choice, would nibble
on snacks and sweets all day rather than
face a plate of healthy food. It is up to
us as parents to gently steer them in the
right direction by educating them from a
young age as to what will make their bodies strong and healthy.”
“Water is often seen as a source of joy for children — splashing in the bath, playing in the pool, or helping water the garden. Yet, within the home environment, water can also be a silent and deadly hazard.”
“Have you noticed that when you
ask your children “how was your
day?” they answer with a monosyllable
– usually “fine” or “OK”.
The dead-end answers to your
polite enquiry just closes the door
to any information you hope to
get about them and the day they
had. In essence, you feel shut out.”
“If parenting used to feel like herding cats,
welcome to the upgrade. Now you’re
herding caffeinated cats while an invisible
algorithm whispers in their ears and
suggests alternative life choices based on
what they clicked at breakfast.”
“Why letting your kids make their own lunches is the
smartest parenting move you’ll make…”
“You don’t have to fix anything.
You are simply guiding thought
and action, working through the
situation with the child until they
can do it on their own…”
