Keeping Our Kids Safe

First, we should talk to our kids about how we want them to behave as opposed to how they shouldn’t behave. Otherwise, they will certainly do what we tell them not to!

We must consider not just the implications a virus could have on our kids but also the lasting impressions of a lack of social and physical contact.

It is hard to figure out parenting on your own! That is why understanding nutrition and talking with your health tribe is so important.

It is okay to be flexible! If your child rejects broccoli, try offering them a different green leaf vegetable or the same dish prepared a different way! 

 

Our Family and Health Tribe

As parents, we have to stand up for the kids! We should consider who is influencing their potential behavior.

A great way to look out for our kids is to set boundaries with those around, even family members! Boundaries are a great way to ensure the desired outcome.

The boundaries we can set are not just limited to what our children are eating. It can include the words they hear, the energy others are carrying, and even topics discussed. 

 

 

How to Prepare Our Kids for School

We have to prepare our children for how things are going to be different at school! All of the precautions with required masks, social distancing, and general schedule changes can overwhelm our kids!

It is crucial to have a positive attitude when we discuss these changes. If we talk about them negatively, our child will pick up on that energy and have a negative outlook. Try framing it as a new experience!

It is important to know that children have a better defense against COVID than adults. They do not have a different immune system, but a better ability to adapt to a novel virus. 

Children are born rich in enzymes! When exposed to the virus, their large number of enzymes attack the infected cells, helping to prevent the spread of the infection.

Health-Conscious Parenting

Meal replacement shakes, vitamins, supplements, and chiropractic solutions are excellent solutions for raising our children.

Believe it or not, children often love this routine, and it can even be a fun and energetic process.

A considerable concern with children is wearing masks and social distancing. If they are not exposed to pathogens, they will not develop immunity to some diseases. This can lead to them getting sick in the future when their immune system is weaker.

Just remember, everyone does the best they can as a parent. Have some grace with yourself!

Ensure that you get your information from reliable sources to provide your children with the best possible tactics to level up their health.

 

How Important is Sleep for Kids?

Bedtime routines are essential in ensuring our children develop a great sleep schedule. This also has a significant impact on their emotional and mental health! 

You heal when you sleep! It is essential to ensure that our children are getting enough sleep as it will continue to level up their health!

 

Supplements for our Kids!

Some great supplements to increase our children’s health are Zinc, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.

Also, cod liver oil or a fish oil supplement is a great product to level up their health and improve their immune system. They often even love this as kids!

Another great supplement is Catalyn. This is a whole food multivitamin that is a catalyst for their enzymes. 

Congaplex is Dr. Bart’s personal favorite and one of the most exceptional solutions to improve children’s white blood cells.

These incredible solutions can be found at the link below!
