"We reap what we sow for sure! I can personally testify that the more I give back the more I receive...ten fold really. We really never know who we will help with a small favor..With the advent and worldwide use of social media the ripple effect can be felt far and wide from what we do ..OR don't do ;) Great food for thought!"

"I started on my parenting journey almost 25 years ago..I have since had 2 more children and worked with many others over 15 years I was in child protection. One theme is always common...when we use the same toolbox our parents did we often times end up encouraging the same things we didn't want for our children. The task at hand for me was to get clear on what I needed help with and get help. And I did. Not to say I didn't make mistakes, because I did..but I learned from them :) Great post!"

"This is a super list. I especially like focusing and clarity. In a world at information overload it is difficult for us humans to stay on track and your right...having an objective person help you see 'Outside the box" helps us all :) Great post!!"

"Great series....I have three children and worked in child protection for 15 years....I am not sure who coined the term but I borrowed it often...Instead of '"Terrible Twos"....We called it "Terrific Twos"...The thought behind it was to take a more positive stance....I know parents that actually dreaded their children turning two. Sad."

"All of these are such an important part of building healthy self esteem. I especially think that number 4 is a very powerful place to start. I know for many of the women I have worked with over the years they have learned negative self talk from those that they surround themselves with. We truly have the hopes and aspirations of the 5 people we spend the most time with."

"Way to go! I like this post because its screaming I am REAL....There are so many people online and offline that would go to a party...nibble and then pig pout when no one was watching....I have an aunt that does that and blames her weight problems on menopause...wow...I really think this is awesome..and I like the fact you are addressing the reality of our obsession with and around food :)"
