		<description><![CDATA[A recent blog post from a pediatrician, which was also mentioned on the New York Times' “Motherlode” blog, addressed the question“What do I do if my chubby kids say they are hungry?” Dr. Meeker raised some valid points in her post—what to do about your child eating too much food and why it’s important to set limits on screen time and provide easy access to healthy foods, among other things.

But Dr. Meeker may have provided some misguided recommendations when suggesting how to talk to children about their feelings of hunger. How we talk to our kids about hunger and help them understand it is not as simple as one may think. In fact, more harm than good might happen when people charge in and take total control over a child’s hunger without considering the child’s feelings, self-esteem or how the child thinks of herself.

		<description><![CDATA[This week is Healthy Media for Youth Week (July 12-16), a week to draw attention to the impact that sexualized media images have on all of us, and in particular, girls and women. It also promotes national legislation to increase research, youth empowerment and media literacy programs, and create a Federal Communications Commission task force to help curb this serious issue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer is a great time to get the kids involved in activities they are often unable to do during the school year. These can include overnight summer camps.  Choosing a camp that adequately fits your child’s temperament and their experiences with away-from-home stays is vital. Even though we may have forgotten, overnight camp is a big deal for tweens and even teens, and can bring about a range of emotions from excitement to extreme apprehension.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We fathers have tremendous power to benefit our kids and partner. For instance, and according to the National Fatherhood Initiative, kids who are raised with fathers are less likely to abuse substances, to underachieve academically, to be defiant, to break laws, to be obese, to become pregnant and to experience a wide array of toxic stresses. However, the more experience I get as a dad, husband and psychologist, the more I look at all of this differently. I offer three insights and close with a link to a weekly exercise for you to do with your children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know Dads are important for many reasons, but they can serve a vital role in helping families become and stay healthy. This might seem like a given to those dads who have coached a tee-ball team or the ones who play outside with their kids.

But health goes beyond athletics and sports.  Good health is overall well-being, which includes good nutrition, adequate activity and exercise, and good emotional, social, and intellectual skills.

Some children are not natural athletes, do not want to participate in organized sports and cringe at the word "exercise." But there are ways to motivate your kids and teens to be more active and like it.]]></description>
