I just finished up a little article for the Leaping Lizards Newsletter. Pete & Co. have a great indoor playground in Decatur, GA. It's a "jumpy castle in a heated/air conditioned space" concept that seems to be catching on. One of the reasons I liked their place was that they offered healthier choices for snacks. Not that we go for the food but...if we do choose to get something, we aren't faced with candy bars and potato chips! They also publish a little email newsletter that I contribute to - when I don't slack...
The article I just finished is all about Sharing the Love. Teaching our children to share is socially a very important concept. The idea that they need to share their toys, space, TV time, etc. is the focus of many a meltdown but worthy of the temporary rise in blood pressure.
I think it is important to also work a sharing of their treats into the mix too. A healthier way to eat a donut is to share it. Want a little fries with that shake? Just share it with someone else...You'll eat less, be healthier and the beneficiary will like you more. After all... Healthy Hearts Share... (Did I mention I'm about to cut a deal with a greeting card company?)
