Get Fit Slowly

Like every parent in the world, I want to raise my kids to be physically and emotionally healthy.  I want them to be confident, happy, friendly, outgoing, helpful, loving, kind, tenacious, protective, proud,  and fit–among other things I’m sure.  Sometimes I look at my kids and see the good things about Pam and me in them.  But sometimes I also see the bad things and it worries me.

There’s so much information out there, and so many different areas of “child health” that I could focus on every day; I sometimes feel totally overwhelmed.  This morning, after my 4:30 gym session (that’s 3 in a row for all you doubters out there) I found a new “Well Guide” on the New York Times web site.  It’s pretty interesting for us parents.  There’s a lot of information about raising healthy kids and it covers a variety of topics ranging from picky eating habits, to “screen time”, to exercise.

I haven’t taken the time to read all of this site, it’s pretty big.  And I’m not saying that I agree with everything I read on it.  But, it is a decent website with some helpful information.  And if nothing else, it will at least get us thinking about some of the topics that affect our children’s health.
