Pursuing a healthy relationship with food and exercise for ourselves is hard enough. So how do you encourage your family to get on board with the same choices - especially when they’re resistant?

One listener finds herself in this tricky situation: “How can parents help and encourage their teens to eat healthy and exercise, especially if the teens are slightly overweight and aren’t very interested in physical activities and they get irritated when you try to remind them to make healthy choices? We don’t want to give them a complex, but we also want them to be healthy because we love them. So how do we walk that balancing act of giving control of their health over to them, when they aren’t always making healthy choices?”

Such a great question in need of a delicate and graceful approach!

In this shortie episode, I provide tips on how to create a family culture of healthy choices without shame, how to celebrate your child’s own unique design and the importance of taking personal responsibility for the body God has given each of us.
