Send a healthy message

Tuesday April 27, 2010

WeightWatchers Eat Move Play published by John Wiley & Sons 2010 I recently reviewed a new book for parents from Weight Watchers. I particularly liked its lists of healthy messages to send kids about their bodies, about eating, and about moving. For example:

"Think about what your body can do, not just how it looks."

"Fuel your body regularly."

"Snacking is not a hobby."

"Participating in sports is even more fun than watching them."

Food for thought, right? What kinds of messages--spoken and unspoken--are you sending your kids?
