I agree we have to get to the root cause of what is causing the emotions and address that. It doesn't have to be complicated. Just talking about it can be so helpful for children. Looking them in their eyes validates them and helps them to feel heard and important. Lee thank you so much for your incredible insight.

Ice cream is not a good solution to a frustrated child. I also liked what you said about providing the child with language skills that can help them express more of their feelings.

]]> Comment on Childhood Obesity Prevention: The Effects of Sugar by Lee Jackson http://www.pitterpatterfeet.com/childhood-obesity-prevention-effects-sugar/#comment-26 Lee Jackson Fri, 18 Feb 2011 21:03:08 +0000 http://www.pitterpatterfeet.com/?p=202#comment-26 It's a scary state we are in - with such a high proportion of children and adults obese. You point out well the many faces of sugar - some very dangerous and others more desirable. Sugars are found in so many of our food products that we really need to read the labels very carefully.

]]> Comment on Fitness Activity for Kids- Walking With You by D'TaRelle F. Tullis http://www.pitterpatterfeet.com/fitness-activity-kids-walking/#comment-25 D'TaRelle F. Tullis Sun, 13 Feb 2011 23:39:41 +0000 http://www.pitterpatterfeet.com/?p=190#comment-25 Richard, thank you so much for your comment. It is so refreshing to know that there are still people in the world today that realize the importance of bonding with their children. I commend you on taking such an active and positive role in your grandson's life. Not only are you being a great help to your children in providing support for your grandson but you are also instilling healthy habits in your grandson both for his physical body and his emotional and mental bodies as well. You are helping to stimulate and use his imagination, creating a love of reading and books and a love of learning and exploring as well. He is being made to feel special as you take the time out of your schedule to walk him to school. This means a lot to children and builds their self esteem and helps them to value themselves. They learn this as someone is showing that they value them. Thanks so much for visiting Richard and be sure to come again and share your wisdom and experiences.

It is hard (tho not impossible!) to initiate a lot of things when it hasn't been a pattern. I am grateful to living close to the school so my grandson can walk. He is not really allowed to walk alone until; after 2nd grade so I have enjoyed these past 2 and a half years of walking with him. I am really hoping that when it is no longer required, he won't shake me off completely! When he was younger, we walked to the village. There was a park bench about half way there and we many times would stop there and I'd pull out a book. Sometimes I'd forget to have a book and we would stop and make up a story. Sometimes we'd walk in a nearby conservation area and pretend to be looking for clues in some mystery or some other pretend game. These were all activities that made the walking something to look forward to.... for both of us! Walking and bonding certainly can be real enough but it helps to start the practice early on.
