In today's episode, we are talking about how to set our children up for success when it comes to their health.
A child doesn’t have fully developed executive function. This is the ability to make decisions that are in their best interest rather than based on emotion or what feels or tastes good in the moment.
Yet, we give them a phone at age 12-13 and expect them to not be glued to it and be able to handle it properly. Or consider what our children eat. At home they have highly palatable made-for-addiction foods sitting in the cupboard, but we are asking them to make their own lunch, loaded with whole foods.
I think the question we can ask ourselves before scolding our child about their media or food choices, is did I teach my child how to master food and media?
Am I modeling it for them? When we model it for them, the training becomes the easy part.
