Last weekend, we took a family bike ride for lunch. Bike
rides have become an integral part of summers ever since our, then, five year
old transitioned out of training wheels. And now our daughters love biking
around the block when we work in the yard or go on extended bike rides with us
exploring new trails through known neighborhoods.
If you are a parent, you might know how tough it is to teach
kids about healthy habits and the special challenge is for them to make the
right choices when they are surrounded by tempting unhealthy choices and
parents aren’t around to guide them. So I try to device subtle ways to educate
them about energy consumption, bodily or otherwise and how each little choice
matters.
