It’s definitely a challenge, but I’m happy to hear your girls have had such a good influence when it comes to teaching healthy eating. Thanks for your comment!

It’s hard sometimes, especially when I recall how 6 slices of cinnamon toast was much more fun than a piece of fruit. (Yes, I would have a glass of milk, but only to wash down the toast.) For the most part, they humor me a little, listen politely and occasionally tell me they eat better than their friends.

With junior high and high school came teaching them reponsible independence and letting them “fail” under the safest circumstances possible. Still working on this, but so far so good.

Hope to see more about growing independent adults.
