good, be super-smart, and run fast!
We live in a society that celebrates with food.What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say ...
Thanksgiving: I think of pumpkin pie.Christmas: I think of Christmas cookies and eggnog.Valentine’s Day: Do you think chocolate?Birthdays: Do you think of cake and ice cream?State Fair: This annual event is synonymous with deep-
fried cheese curds, corn dogs, and deep-fried Twinkies!They all bring up images of food!
Even when our children learn to go on the potty as toddlers,
we reward them with food. Micah always asked for kale
chips, but still, food was his reward. I hear all the time from
parents who are frustrated when their kids’ Little League
team goes out for ice cream after every game. One of my
clients sent me a picture of the giant bag of Skittles that her
type 1 diabetic second grader was given for scoring 100
percent on her math test!
Cooking and baking are my therapy.
