Your Children Friends Versus Parents Including Nutrition

Solid boundaries established early in a child's life are extremely important to their wellbeing and development. Parents have been traditionally given a role of authority with their children and they do not do them any favors when they behave as their friend. When the roles become obscure usually the boundaries do as well. The value of understanding limits and boundaries is immeasurable as a child.

Children when they are very young need to be properly taught the difference between a friend and A a parent or authority figure. This is an extremely vital lesson in the development of a child. Boundaries help with the smooth transition into adulthood and the ability to respect all authoritarian figures.

I recently witnessed the results of this method of childrearing at a family restaurant. There were a couple of young boys who I would estimate were both in the neighborhood of 5 or 6 years old.The two young boys were becoming bored and looking for some trouble to get into settling on their mothers purse as a good place to start. Rummaging through her purse and getting no reprimand they decided to challenge another patron with the same antics. The elderly woman did not appreciate the total lack of respect the young boys had, nor did she appreciate the lack of control that the mother had over them.

In this particular example that we referenced the lack of authority that the mother had with her children not only was disruptive for the other patrons of the establishment but also for the future of her children. Respect for adults needs to be instilled at a young age in order to insure respect for the boundaries that society imposes throughout life.

Having witnessed firsthand the effect that a nutritious gochi diet can have on behavior problems I advocate parents to review their eating habits as well as their parenting approach.

In today's fast paced society many parents take the road of least resistance with their kids.

Their kids want to eat a of nutritious eating habits of cupcakes, donuts and all the sugary and fast foods. The parents find it easier to give in rather than argue with their kids about eating nutritious whole foods, vegetables, and fruits like papaya, grapes, the goji berry and more.

Consequently it is no surprise we have all these instances of hyperactivity in kids and medication prescribed to them. Plus children today spend far too much time playing video games and watching TV, when they should be engaged in outdoor fitness and exercise activities. After all parents don't want to raise a generation of fat, unhealthy and lazy kids.
