No, this is not an article telling you how to improve the health of your kids. There are many ways to eat that can be wrong and many ways to eat that can be OK. There are also many people that say activity is good for kids, and some that say there can be too much of that depending on what it is they are doing.

The point to this post really is that taking an active part in the health of your child can be important long term. Sometimes we end up in ruts and we tend to stay the course if things are looking good or normal. It does not mean that they are, but to our eyes things seem fine. For example, you may not even notice that your child is gaining too much weight or is not eating enough of the rights foods. Or maybe they don’t drink enough water. Maybe you should set some guidelines, maybe not, the point is that we sometimes have to work at taking notice at what is going on around us. As someone once said, fish do not talk much about being wet. So have fun, and get involved in your kids lives more if you are already not.
