Giving Your Kids a Healthy Head Start


Early interventions can give kids a head start on good health. For example, research shows that breastfeeding may reduce disease and obesity in children.


What do you think is the most important way to give kids a head start on a healthy life? If you are a parent, what was most important to you when your child was young?


Making sure he ate right? Reading to her every night before bed? Getting accepted into pre-school?


And, as a parent, what did/do you struggle with, in terms of giving your child the head start you want for him/her?


Is it too hard to get her into pre-school? Is feeding him the healthiest food too expensive? Are good doctors few and far between? Is it hard to find the time to spend one-on-one with your child?

My mother is 95 & in perfect health, because she raised us 5 kids on cod liver oil & vitamin C hourly. She had her teeth removed at age 25. Dentures.

We raised 3 kids on cod liver oil, vitamin C hourly, and I expect to live well to age 120.

ALS is caused by mercury from: dental fillings, chloralkali manufacturing, paint, burning coal & slimicides.

You ran a program on a women who died from ALS, 4-13-09, but forgot to mention that the best known treatment for ALS is by taking 3,000 mcg of organic selenium, which is what I take daily.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it! Online high school AND Adison High School

I think paying enough attention to your kids is important, also making sure they're eating a healthy diet too.

Some even believe that communicating with their child while still inside their mother's womb is an effective way to develop the kid's talent/s. I'm not even sure how effective this way is. Most doctors recommend and encourage parents to let their child these ways to develop their full growth potential even at a younger age.

Its hard raising a kid as a single parent. Single parents should make sure that while they are taking care of their kids, their online dating life is nourishing too so that they have someone special to hang out with at the end of the day.

Re: Giving Your Kids a Healthy Head Start
hello, my name is Brian Mayrsohn and over here at Vanderbilt University, we are doing just that. A year and half ago, I started an organization called Healthy Head Start. We go into schools and after school programs to teach the youth of Nashville the importance of eating healthy and living a healthy and active lifestyle. We bring healthy (good tasting) snacks, fruits, veggies, and healthy meals for these happy go lucky kids, who are not given the same opportunities as children from more privileged socioeconomic class. I was wondering, if there are any grants out there that support organizations such as this one.
