Amanda Schupak in The New York Times:
Parent less, play more.
If your kid isn’t asking for help, leave them alone! Spend less time managing their feelings — especially unpleasant ones — and more time sharing things that you love. Not everything needs to be a learning experience.
— Carla Naumburg Clinical social worker and the author of “How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids”
A healthier future is possible.
If “someday” were tomorrow, what would you do differently today? Track the most important predictors of your health and keep them healthy. Consult with your doctor, but the CliffsNotes are: Aim for blood pressure under 120/80 and LDL (that’s “bad” cholesterol) less than 70.
Food is medicine. Food is love. Enjoy it as both.
What you eat connects you to your culture and the people you care about. So let loose a little when you have something to celebrate. The rest of the time, choose foods that nourish your body.
— Dr. Nate Wood Director of culinary medicine at Yale School of Medicine
