As a parent I think a lot about what I might be able to do to help my kids skip the extended punitive phase I went through, when movement and food were all about the “shoulds”. I know a lot of it is out of my control. But I also know that the relationship I have with my body and with movement is going to teach them a lot, whether I want it to or not. So I’m going to do my darnedest to make the ways I live in my body lessons I want them to learn.
