🕰️ Consistency is Key: Start setting a consistent morning and bedtime routine a few weeks before school begins. This helps kids adjust to the school schedule and reduces first-day jitters. 👟 Practice School Mornings: Have a few practice runs where you go through the entire morning routine—getting dressed, eating breakfast, and packing their backpack. This way, kids know what to expect and the transition is smoother! #BackToSchool #Routine #ParentingTips #SmoothTransition

Start now! Don't worry about the length or time of the journey. Start! Start that degree you always wanted but put off registering for classes. Start writing that book that's been rolling around in your mind for years. Start getting healthy with small changes like eating a banana and oatmeal for breakfast (instead of Ramen noodles - yes, I used to eat Ramen for breakfast). Start now! You will finish!

My Uncle Ted always said you should make a resolution you know you can keep. For example, his resolution one year… was to eat more pork. Thanks to the local barbecue joint down the street from his house, he succeeded in meeting his goal. Uncle Ted was joking, of course. BUT I’d like to take the spirit of Uncle Ted’s advice and encourage you to choose a goal this year that’s both attainable AND honors your body and soul. If you’d like to figure out a rhythm of meal planning this year, I have a resource to help. Join our FREE Meal Planning workshop next Thursday: https://lnkd.in/gK6nzrwK Whatever goal you choose, I hope you find one which aligns with your values and moves you closer to the person you’re meant to be. Happy goal setting, Dietitian Ann #newyearsresolutions #newyearsdiets #newyearnewyou #goalsettingtips #mealplanningworkshop #intuitiveeatingcoach #nutritionadvice #nutritionfirst

Life Skills Week 6 Strategies for Teaching Portion Control 1. Use Visual Aids: MyPlate: Use the MyPlate guide to show the appropriate portions of different food groups on a plate. 2. Serve Appropriate Portions: Pre-Portion Snacks: Provide pre-portioned snacks instead of letting kids eat directly from large packages. Smaller Plates: Use smaller plates and bowls to naturally limit portion sizes. 3. Encourage Mindful Eating: Eat Slowly: Teach kids to eat slowly and savor their food, which helps them recognize when they are full. Avoid Distractions: Encourage eating at the table without distractions like TV or electronic devices to focus on the meal. #Fitwize4Kids #LifeSkills #BrowardCounty #Coralsprings #CoconutCreekFlorida #ParklandFL #MargateFlorida #BocaRaton #PompanoBeach #Tamarac #Sunrisefl #NorthLauderdale #CoralSpringsMoms #ParklandMoms #CoconutCreekMoms #MargateMoms #BocaRatonMoms #TamaracMoms #NorthLauderdaleMoms #SunriseFLMoms

Looking for a fun way to involve your child in mealtimes? Let them help create the menu for the day or week! 🌟 Give your child a list of balanced options, and let them pick what they want to eat. When kids have a say in what's on their plate, they feel more invested and excited about mealtime! 🍽️✨ This is an advanced strategy we use with our Curious Eaters, helping them build confidence in their choices and encouraging positive food interactions. 💚 You wouldn't start this with a child who is only eating 4 foods. That's why the level your child is at is KEY! You want to implement the strategies that make sense for the level your child is at!
