Children’s Hospital Controversy
Hospitals are supposed to be a place with the purpose of making people healthier. Many children’s hospital cafeterias and patient menus are dominated by foods high in fat, cholesterol, calories, sugar, and sodium. Processed meats such as bacon, sausage, and hot dogs are also common despite their established link with cancer and diabetes. In fact McDonald’s has restaurants in 27 hospitals including a children’s hospital!! How can this be? It makes you wonder if these hospitals are trying to make kids healthy or sick. Stay tuned tomorrow for a list of the top five worst children’s hospital offenders and their unhealthy menu items for sick patients.
Shame In Failure?
If you tried your best, there is no shame in failure . . . only in quitting.
Teach Giving Back
Demonstrate that giving back is the most important thing one can do. You can teach this with money. If you hand a kid a quarter to drop into the local street corner animal shelter container, they are just delivering YOUR money so nothing is learned. Sometimes kids need to know how it feels to help others with the sacrifice of donating their own money. This also works with donating some holiday and birthday presents and Halloween candy to the sick or poor.
Parenting Special Needs Children
When children have special needs, those closest to them may suffer. Parents of children with special needs often experience emotional problems such as fear, sadness, rage, loneliness, and guilt. They also experience physical problems such as exhaustion and self-neglect. Many report their health as “fair to poor“ and over half say their diets and exercise habits have deteriorated since their parenting responsibilities began. They also report that they do not regularly keep their own medical appointments. It is important for those caring for those with special needs to address and treat their own issues as well.
Sibling Co-operation
A great way to reduce sibling fights is to give them chores to do jointly. This will teach them co-operation and builds trust.
