What you feed your kids matters
I notice this with our 3-year-old, what he eats for breakfast often sets the tone for his behavior for the rest of the day.
Quote I’ve been thinking about
"The problem with smart people is they can come up with a good reason for not doing anything. They are smart enough to find the cracks, to foresee the challenges, and to talk themselves out of the idea. They are experts at justifying their lack of courage or lack of action with an intelligent excuse.
But there will always be reasons to not do something, and this is particularly true of anything worth doing. We value those moments in which we overcame challenge, not those in which we avoided it. Ultimately, action is a choice. The choice to emphasize the reasons for doing it despite the reasons you have for avoiding it." — James Clear

This isn’t forever
