What's your Trickle Down? - Wacky Wednesday

It's Wacky Wednesday! Breaking all the rules, today, we PLAY with our food! Starting your day with a big I Love You has to set a good trend in motion, right?

There are lots of ways to say I love you and let your kids know how important they are; build their confidence from the ground up. Part of this is helping them to start healthy habits at a young age! Habits are easy to form, but hard to break! Start those early! Not just diet, but activity, and consciousness of what's fit and strong, always giving them positive reinforcement! Focus on the positive! 

Kisses back for her breakfast! 

Have you ever heard your child say something and immediately realize where they heard it? It might be a word, a phrase, it might be a gesture or mannerism. It could be as simple as a boundary they have mentally placed on themselves because they see you do it! They learn more from example, than from force! Monkey see, monkey do is a HUGE theme in our house for sure...there are a lot of monkeys hanging around here. I see the girls try things they wouldn't otherwise try, if Tucker does it first, but I also see the trickle down effect of the negative examples too! I have definitely been very guilty of this in the past!  🙊🙉🙈

Struggling through something, I have a serious problem with talking to myself! Like, serious! I have certainly been pegged as the crazy lady at the grocery store, having a conversation with herself about ingredients for a recipe or what not to forget. I am so used to never being alone that I find that I engage in out loud thought a lot. When you have been trying to engage your children, stimulate thought for so long...the words just flow. Lol. This can be good when you have positive self talk, but when you are talking yourself through something, it can radiate negatively. We all have bad days and we all fail...we are allowed to! It's how we work through, how we recover, that says the most! Your mindset and your attitude are what others see and hear! It's all about what you exude! Awareness of your trickle down, and the little minds, bodies and hearts that it shapes, is a STRONG motivator for focusing on the POSITIVE for yourself, mind, body and heart!

💫Children close their ears to advice, but open their eyes to example.

💫Be aware of your trickle down effect!
