When Your Child Chooses to Eat What You Preach, Celebrate!

In the quest to raise successful children, we dive into helicoptering, hummingbirding, Tiger Momming and so on. We debate endlessly about AI and the skills our kids need to learn to compete in the workforce (Python! AI Ethics! Data Analytics! Emotional Intelligence and Interpersonal Skills! Plumbing!) We squeeze them into language classes, competitive sports and volunteering gigs to build character, build resumes and create perspective.  We are obsessed with the perils of videogames and the concept of addiction.

All this is amazing and a hallmark of devoted parenting.  Yet, how many of us carefully educate our kids on how to choose food and drink with as much gusto?
