Give Credit Where Credit is due...Happy Father's Day

Many keystrokes and much ink has been used to implore men to be good fathers.  Statistics notwithstanding, the vast majority of fathers are loving, caring, providing and sharing.  For all the fathers that are on their job and doing it fabulously, I say BRAVO!

Now get back to work.....lol

It's so simple

I typically use this blog to give you tools and information to educate and enrich your child.  This week my son flipped the script.  He schooled me.  

He and I talk about eating fruits and veggies daily.  He knows that what he eats will affect is body. We talk about his muscles getting stronger, his brain's thinking power and him growing into a tall man of great stature.  He is completely onboard being healthy, strong and smart.

He received a party bag recently and when he was about to eat a Now or Later candy he asked me if it was good for him.  I, of course, told him that candy in general is not good for him and that's why he is only allowed a small amount occasionally.  He then said something simple and profound, "I don't want it."

If only we all simply stopped eating things we know are not good for us.
