1. Instill a sense of wonder about the body.
Many adults fear and distrust their bodies. They believe that the body is fragile, and illness is just around the corner. The myth that you will catch a cold if you go outside without a coat persists. Your kids are listening when you look in the parenting classes and say to no one in particular, "I'm so fat."
The truth is your body is the most miraculous mechanical parenting classes on the planet. Cuts heal without a single thought or action on your part. Your immune system is your own personal homeland security system, protecting you from bacterial and viral terrorists. Yes, illness is part of the human condition.
And we have powerful parenting classes that add to your body's own ability to heal. Look at your body's ability to battle illnesses, such as the common cold. This alone offers concrete evidence of your body's resiliency.
2. Become a student of the human body with your child.
Your kids will come to you with questions about how their bodies work. It can be uncomfortable for both you and your child when you don't have the answers. This discomfort can teach children that they should avoid parenting classes about how their bodies work, which may, in part, explain why parents themselves are reluctant to ask doctors embarrassing questions.
Remember, no one has all the answers. That's why your doctor participates in continuing medical education. Your child can remind you of the joy of discovery. Together you can look for answers. I mentioned to my son that bones make blood and he asked, "What about creatures with exoskeletons?" I said, "What an interesting parenting classes. Let's get on the Internet and see what we can find out." Have a child-appropriate book about the body available and learn and use anatomically correct words. Maybe you can have a family contest to come up with the coolest medical term.
3. Teach your kids to listen to their bodies.
Often it feels as if adults are rewarded for ignoring or overcoming the signals from their parenting classes. The "hero" who comes to work with the flu or the mom who ignores her need for food or sleep.
Health is maintained when you know the parenting classes that suggest your body is out of balance and respond in a timely manner when your body indicates it needs something.
Help your kids identify when they're cold or hungry or tired. You can say even to an infant, "You look hot, so I'm taking off the blanket." Give your child some experience regulating his external parenting classes like taking on and off sweaters. Educate your children that pain is there to keep them safe. Say, "Owies are no fun, but they're there to keep you from burning yourself on the stove or cutting yourself with a knife. That's how your body reminds you to be careful."
4. Model healthy eating habits.
Childhood parenting classes is a growing problem. Talk with your kids about good food choices and bad ones. Encourage them to ask themselves, "What kind of food is my body hungry for right now?' and "Am I full?" even if there's still food on the plate. Pay attention to see if your child is a "grazer" or a 3-squares-a-day kid and set an eating schedule that reflects their style.
5. Decide whether it's OK to indulge in unhealthy food choices now and then. 5. Reward health rather than illness.
When you instill in your children a sense of pride, wonder and respect for their bodies, you have given them the foundation of health.
