Parenting

The health of our children is greatly dependent upon their lifestyle habits; the habits that we as parents teach our children. Good eating practices, sleeping habits and stress management are essential. However, one very important lifestyle habit that has been missed and is becoming paramount in this technological era is postural fitness.

There is nothing better than bringing your newborn baby home, being able to sink into the couch and spend hours snuggling and relaxing with them. For some families though, that isn’t always a reality with their little ones. That sweet, little innocent baby has not stopped crying for hours on end and as a parent you want nothing more than to help them. You may start to feel overwhelmed, it can begin to make you feel very anxious and under-confident in your parenting abilities when you have been attempting everything you can think of and nothing is working.

It is March Break in your neck of the woods and the children are all very excited to spend some time out of school. We all know the most popular activities are ones that can be done outside burning off all that extra energy. While we fully agree with that, you may live in a climate where spending large amounts of time outside during the March Break is just not feasible due to cold weather and frostbite advisories. We all like to think that by March, it starts to get warmer outside but that is not always the case!
