many things. There’s the basics, like
how to read and tie their shoes, and the intangible like how to be kind and grateful.

As a dietitian working with the adult population, I have seen all too clearly how this relationship can go awry, and the many terrible consequences my patients face daily. When I think about how I can help my own children avoid this fate, the main thing that comes to mind is teaching by example.
