How to stay healthy is one thing you as parents need to teach your child. As often said, everything starts at home. Everything is either good or bad there because you teach your child things. And, it could be a shame if people will see the manifestation of the unwanted from your child, especially if it relates to their health. You see as a parent, it is our responsibility to keep them in tracking what is the right thing to do and perhaps, the right food to eat. So, back home, I usually do not let my children even when they were children, for most of them are adults now, eating whatever they like. Most of the time my authority, and will always be responsible for whatever they want to eat. “No candy and cakes after midnight No chocolate and ice cream is not there when you fail in any subject ..” Well, I often wear those things on them. And, I do not just stop there, I usually pose the rules in their walls, especially when they have done something bad. Also, I make it a point to their mothers too, “to cook something delicious for tonight.” At that time, my wife already knows what she will cook for dinner that they will surely hate. With this, I must admit as a father, I was a little tight with it. And, I do this for the purpose and for a good cause. Of course, I do not want them to be picky. I want them to learn to accept and be grateful with the things that are being presented to them.
This is especially true in most cases, the kids hate organic. Imagine how the kids are so hated vegetables and you know then, how difficult and stubborn they can be. Every time their mother was cooking their vegetables, they will only have a glimpse of their plates and will say “I’m not starving mother. I do not think I need to eat the grass” or maybe, “I’m still full. I think I’ll go for the juice.” With it, you already know they do not like to eat it. What is the best thing to do this? It’s quite simple.
Children will always be kids. I agree to this. If they do not want to eat something, they certainly will not eat it. However, it depends on parenting. At a very young age, maybe in 3 years, start teaching your kids about being healthy. Teach them healthy tips with great emphasis on their importance and the right foods to eat to stay healthy. Of course, you have to live with the rules too and demonstrate and practice healthy eating back home. You see, I believe everything can be taught, including your stomach desires. Once you teach your child to get used to eating healthy, they will carry that until they grow up.
Now, being healthy does not mean that you should just eat healthy. This process consists of a variety of ways. And sport is one of them. At a young age, you can teach your children how to exercise. Possible, take them with you if you run or walk in the park, this course is a form of exercise. However, do not allow your child to do weight lifting. They are not strong enough to do the exercise. Just provide them with basic shapes and tell them your reasons why they should not or can not do that. The reason why some children become stubborn is when parents often fail to give reasons for their children, thinking that they will not understand and they are too young to logical reasoning. This should not be. In my case, I have four boys and girls and I started giving them a good reason even when they are toddlers. This does not bring harm them at all. In fact, the more I have provided them with a certain level of logical reasoning, they have become smarter. Remember, the brain just a machine. If you do not exert effort to make it work, it will not function properly. And, the more you use it, greater functionality can give you.
Of course, keep them away from destructive things. Television and internet use among these things. And, they are not healthy for your children. However, I am not saying that you have to remove their privilege to watch and use things like that. Possible, enabling them occasionally. You can have it in the form of prizes every time they have done something great in school such as getting a high score or maybe win the quiz bee. With this, you must have to teach your child the value of hard work too.
Let them play under the hot sun. One aspect that helps in children’s growth and mental development of the play. When you allow them time to play, you really give them a chance to meet some people and other children. With this, they will learn to socialize and how they blend in with the kids like them. They really can socialize in school, but in fact different from socializing while playing. At school, they must follow the rules and they are there to learn. In the play, they can make their own rules. So, it’s definitely a different thing. But of course, you do not have to feel comfortable at all times. Occasionally, you should look at what they do. There are also times when other children can be naughty and they may affect your children. So, beware.
Apart from the things I have mentioned, there are definitely better and I know all the parents also have their own ways to handle different situations. And my ways are just some of the basics.
From a young age, you know you want a house full of children. You may think your partner, play ball with the kids in the garden and a black lab who will chase a tennis ball in the middle of everything. You and your husband will cook meals together, taste the soup, cuddle in bed on Sunday morning and listen-Pitter patter little feet rushing into your room. You have it all thought. Then you spend the next year to change your dating habits in the hope of finding the perfect husband. He now holds a ham to cook an average girl, and she was in love with a boy who was the perfect uncle niece and nephew. You buy a ring and now …. You are here. Happily ever after.
