Melanie James+FollowEngland’s Child Health Crisis ExposedDid you know England’s kids are now facing some of the worst health outcomes in Europe? A new report says childhood obesity is up, vaccination rates are down, and there’s a massive shortage of health visitors (down 43% since 2015!). MPs are calling for urgent action: more health workers, better vaccine coverage, and Family Hubs in every community. Feels wild that this is happening in 2024, right? #Health #BodyHealth #ChildHealth00Share
sgarcia+FollowMy 12 Year Old Daughter is Obese. How Can I Politely Tell Her We Are Going To Put Her On a Diet?When I first asked this question, I was ready to have the painful "diet talk." But I soon realized I was about to make a permanent mistake that would damage her self-esteem forever. You absolutely should not talk to her about a diet. The word "diet" gives a young girl image issues that can stick for life. Instead, we completely shifted our focus to family health and fun. This helped her reach a normal, healthy weight quickly and naturally. We started cooking delicious meals the entire family genuinely enjoyed together. We eliminated junk and kept the house stocked with healthy, easy-to-grab snacks. The other key was movement. I started walking and bike riding with her because it was a fun family activity, not punishment. Enjoy your kids, stop focusing on the scale, and just be a mom/dad who models healthy behavior. #ParentingJourney #BodyPositivity #ChildHealth #MomLife #Puberty #Health #FamilyRelationships 330630Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowEngland’s Child Health Crisis ExposedJust found out England is ranking near the bottom in Europe for child health—seriously, MPs are calling it a national emergency. Obesity is up, vaccination rates are patchy, and there’s a massive shortage of health visitors (down 43% since 2015!). The government’s being pushed to hire 1,000 more health pros ASAP and bring back proper support for families. Kids deserve better than this mess, right? #Health #BodyHealth #ChildHealth11Share
