What methods should parents use instead of focusing on getting kids in shape?
Even if the parents chastise the behavior or communicate to the kids, don't do this, don't do this, even though they do it themselves, the odds, and the data on this is very clear, the odds that the child will follow in the footsteps of their parents is incredibly high. Children... listen to actions far more than they listen to words. So if you want your child to lead a healthy lifestyle, 90% of all of your success is going to be leading it yourself and being the example.
Neurons that fire together, wire together. Yeah. That was in the book that I'm reading right now with raising children. And that's one of the things they talk about is that if the kid sees something a pattern in a behavior and then makes that connection, it is now wired, especially if it's a first experience. Example they gave in the book is like, you know, your kid gets done with their first sporting event or they did something and you take them to ice cream. It's like the first. Now, every time they do that, they will then.
Drives me crazy.
they will expect it because Dave, that's what they, that's the first connection they've made is, Oh, after volleyball practice, I get ice cream. And I'm not saying I'm not using that as an example to make it to say that's bad per se, but just keeping that in mind that when we introduce things to our kids or we show things to our kids, when it's the first connection or the first thing they make, or, hey, let's go out to dinner this Friday. And the first place you take them is McDonald's. You now have wired that of like, oh, Friday's a fun night. We go out there. It's that experience. And it's now solidified that this is a behavior they expect going forward.
That's right. But to get even more, to make it even more important, or should I say to really hammer this home, that what you're communicating, Adam, I think a lot of people on the surface would get that. Like, okay, don't take my kids to eat certain foods or don't reward them with certain things or activities that are not necessarily healthy, which makes a lot of sense.
