Busy Mom’s Cheat Sheet: Raising Happy Healthy Kids

Cadoch, a certified health coach, is devoted to her children; like many parents, she struggles with juggling tasks and feeding her kids easy and healthy meals that they like. Cadoch’s main goal expressed here is for all children to have healthy, well-nourished bodies, minds, and spirits, and she breaks down her thoughtful guide into these categories. In the body section, she discusses teaching children to read and understand food labels so they understand how certain ingredients affect the body. She also covers essential topics such as the importance of sleep and exercise. In the mind section, Cadoch shares more lessons she’s learned; she encourages parents to share stories of overcoming failure and to teach children accountability and a positive attitude in order to equip their minds for success. In the spirit section, she describes the benefits of meditation and affirmations and shares several preferred techniques. Finally, Cadoch includes a brief appendix of healthy recipes that her children love, from berry nutty smoothies to sweet and sour meatballs. This is a kind guide for any parent, one that reminds them to practice and teach self-care. (BookLife)
