751: Dr. Amy Conrad: How to Model (Imperfect) Health Habits to Your Kids

Dr. Amy Conrad is a board-certified pediatrician, founder of Kinder Digital Pediatric Clinic, host of Ask Doctor Amy (Youtube, podcast), anthropologist, and believer in good information that empowers modern parents to raise healthy kids. As a working mom, she understands the struggle parents face today with an overabundance of conflicting information. Instead of adding to the noise, Dr. Amy cuts through the clutter to pave a more natural, instinctive path to parenting by putting the focus back on the child and family. Dr. Amy and I had a fantastic conversation about how to support your child’s physical and mental health.   Listen in to hear Amy share: 3 things parents can do to give their kids a healthy foundation in life The importance of modeling health, not just preaching health The significance of modeling imperfection - that it’s ok and normal to be imperfect in your habits How to help your kids make positive choices around their physical & mental health as they get a little older How we can nurture our kids’ mental health and give them the “anchors” they need to feel supported and connected The current culture of parenting in Western culture and how we can choose from a variety of options and alternatives rather than accepting the Western culture status quo What modern working parents need to support their kids in a society that offers them so little time & resources to support  The importance of your child having multiple attachment figures Links mentioned: Parent Prep for Pride Month 2023! Join me on Tuesday, May 16th for a virtual panel to learn how to use this Pride Month 2023 as a powerful way to increase the safety and well-being of our LGBTQ+ youth:  www.PrideandJoyParents.com Connect with Dr. Amy: Askdoctoramy.com Dr. Amy on Youtube: @askdoctoramy  Dr. Amy on IG Dr. Amy on LinkedIn Podcast: Ask Doctor Amy  Book: Hold Onto Your Kids by Gabor Mate and Dr. Gordon Neufeld Book: Bringing up Bebe We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
