I think the best way to get our children to eat healthy is to model healthy eating in our own personal lives. It will communicate that it's important to you, and we will be practicing what we preach.

Raising Grateful Children and Squashing Materialism

There is the old adage, "you can't give your child something you don't have yourself." If we want grateful children, we'll have to model gratitude first.

What Parents Need to Understand About Gratitude On the flip side of gratitude is materialism. Understanding why kids want things and what to do about it is helpful.
