Why treat your child with simple things rather than junk food.

Psychology often fascinates me especially as I mature and grow older. You can start to reflect back to how you have been bought up and how it can effect your behavior, attitude, and  how you respond to challenging situations in your life. 

Let's face it; life comes with problems, however they needn't be problems. It is how we see and react to a problem, challenge or fall.  With a negative attitude or positive. 

Children fall when they are young, whether it is physically and hurt themselves  or whether it could be failing and exam, they feel like they have fallen and can out them into a dark place or a low place where it can be hard to pick themselves up.

I remember this clearly as a child. I remember the pain, but I also remember having the courage to pick myself up and try again. 

These days living in today’s world being surrounded by treats, junk food and unlimited supply of toys, discount stores and even your local  supermarkets it is becoming a toy shop filled with sugarary lollies.

It is important  as Parents get back to nature and reward our children with the simple things in life. Get creative and make them a card, a note, or a bunch of home made flowers. If you want to treat them with a really special gift then it could be an experience, like a 'Ice skating' or 'camping' 'Bush walk picnic'

Try this week to find a special treat without using food, especially junk food. The danger of using sugary food as it can act as a trigger. In theory every time the child falls, fails, or hurts themselves they could be at risk later on in life ' binging' on sugary food or using a food to comfort them when faced with challenges, obstacles or at a low point of their life.

Children adapt so easily and all it takes is strength and commitment  to follow through with what truly will serve our children the best when it comes to health and mindset attitudes.

Practicing positive affirmations, giving praise and listening along with that special natural simple gift to lift spirits and that just maybe a big cuddle and spending Mummy or Daddy one on one time.
