I’m trying to get my parents into adopting healthier eating habits but nothing is really sticking. Do you have any recommendations or like books I can give them to teach them what’s actually good to eat vs. falling for good marketing/ fads?

Do they want to adopt healthier habits? Are they open to suggestions on where to start, or is this an idea you’re trying to seed?

If it’s the former, they’ll have a lot of options for help, but they’ll need to find what’s realistic for them. There’s a LOT of differing info out there and it can be overwhelming to start, so small consistent steps are key.

If it’s the latter, you can only be a good example. People have to be ready for behavior change.

That is so helpful, thank you both!

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol.

It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days.

I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.
