193: Six Healthy Habits for all Children!

Healthy kids become healthy adults. In order for us to mitigate some of the negative factors associated with modern living, there are six things that we can start doing today to ensure our children will have a better tomorrow! 

Replace texting with talking. Practice social skills in childhood will decrease the likelihood of social anxiety in adulthood. 

Replace indoor light with sunlight. Vitamin D, fresh air, and some sightseeing in nature work wonders for the mind and body!

Replace screen time with people time. This is similar to number one but this is about experiences. Just get out there and experience different things with different people.

Replace late nights with sleep. To do this, stop scheduling things that occur well past their bedtime and put rules into place that has kids off the screens and winding down. 

Replace sitting with moving. Remember what movement does for anxiety and depression? Get your kids off their backsides and engaging in some sort of physical practice.  

Replace supplements with real food. The quick and easy grab and go items are convenient but not always ideal for our kids long term health.
