How do you address wealth gain and/or obesity issues in your family without making everyone feel like they’re someone that needs to be fixed?As we celebrate National Pediatric Obesity Awareness Month this September, it is of much relevance that we talk about the issue of obesity, especially as the numbers rise to their highest at present.More often than not, we tend to unconsciously project our own wounds on our children, which usually leads to a negative approach to building a healthy relationship with them and food. So in this episode, Dr. Adrienne aims to help you get your head in the right place so you can help yourself, your children, and your family as a whole in a way that is empowering them towards change. In this episode, Dr. Adrienne does a follow-up on last week’s episode to share tools and strategies you can use as you have conversations in your family around the topic of obesity.What you will learn from this episode:●       Learn tips/strategies on how to avoid having a negative mindset and behavior as you and your family work towards creating positive health and wellbeing at home;●       Understand why you should be mindful of your own insecurities, wounds, and actions as you approach your children in addressing weight and/or obesity issues; and●       Find out why you should see the issue and the act of addressing it as a process, something that takes time, and not as something that needs to be fixed“Teach them about resilience. Teach them about persistence. And remind them that they don't need to hit the mark 100% of the time. They don't need to be perfect in order to be effective.” – Dr. Adrienne YoudimKey Takeaways:“When you act from a place of fear, you cannot act from a place of intention. And more importantly, you project that fear and anxiety onto your child.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim“Manage your expectations. Don't expect this thing to be fixed right away. It's not a thing to be fixed; it is a process that you need to engage in as a family.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim“Eat as much of the good stuff so that there's less room, less desire for the things that don't serve you.” – Dr. Adrienne YoudimWays to Connect with Dr. Adrienne Youdim:Email: dr@dradrienneyoudim.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dradrienneyoudim/ Website: https://www.dradrienneyoudim.com Shoot me an email at dr@dradrienneyoudim.com.  I'd love to know how you feel, and what you're learning, and even if there are topics out there that you wish for us to touch upon, tell me about that, too.Recommended Resource Hungry for More: Stories and Science to Inspire Weight Loss From the Inside Out by Dr. Adrienne Youdim If you love it and you think it is of benefit, please share this podcast with one person that you love.
