Understanding the “Energy” Between Parent and Child
When I was training for my Ph.D. in psychology, I was taught the importance of being able to quantify or count what I observe. Now, thirty years later, I am going to step outside of that model and advise that one of the most important things to be aware of from the moment your children are born until you scoot them out the door, is the type of energy that goes back and forth between you and your kids — something we cant see or measure, but we all know it’s there.

It might give you a quick boost, but healthier food choices give you longer-lasting energy to make it through the day — or at least until nap time. Keep the high-energy snacks on hand wherever you go so you always have a healthy boost available. An extra 300 calories per day helps keep up with the demands of growing a baby.

Otherwise, here are some ideas for healthy alternatives to fast food that are quick and easy.
