We explore the challenges of wanting to model healthy habits for our children when we haven't learned these behaviors ourselves, offering practical ways to start this journey without perfectionism.
• The podcast name has changed to "Let's Be Healthy Latinas" to reflect our community focus and make it easier for Latinas seeking health resources to find us
• Children learn by watching what we do, not just what we say – they are natural detectives observing our habits
• Perfectionism around health creates paralysis – start with small, imperfect steps rather than waiting to have everything figured out
• Working out at home with kids around, though imperfect, teaches them that movement is normal and important
• Kids have different nutritional needs than adults – avoid imposing restrictive adult diets on growing children
• Learning alongside your children is more powerful than pretending to have all the answers
• Three simple starting points: drink more water, incorporate fresh foods, and enjoy movement together
• The starting point for teaching your kids healthy habits is simply you starting your own health journey
