Encourage your children to adopt daily pledges:
- I pledge to cultivate new friendships.
- I commit to self-care.
- I will engage in more physical activity.
- I vow to find joy in laughter.
- I promise to sing more. Singing serves as a form of self-healing, dispelling negative emotions. Overweight children often bear a heavy emotional burden.
Empower them to set goals, fostering greater accomplishments in life.
Instill gratitude in your children. Remind them of their blessings: “Mom and Dad are healthy, we have a comfortable home, and I am in good health. I am content.” Encourage them not to dwell solely on the negatives in their lives or surroundings.
Teach them optimism, fostering a hopeful outlook. Their optimism radiates positive energy.
