As a follow-up to my previous note on our Season-Ending Awards Banquet…

I left the players with a final challenge, specifically talking to everyone who didn’t win an award or hear their name called.

Are you teaching your kids to be BRAVE?

Our sponsor today is near and dear to my heart. You all know I have a passion for building strong children, so I am so excited today to tell you about an awesome opportunity for parents to help do just that.

We have discussed many times on this show how we want to empower children to be brave to try new things without a fear of failure. Well that goes beyond the playing field, it carries into all areas of life.

One big area of life that my wife and I have seen that happen is at family meals. Kids find a couple of foods they like, and get comfortable with those and become scared to try anything new. This can create chaos around the dinner table, can cause mom excess work and anxiety as she tries to appease everyone’s preferences, and ultimately can create anxious kids who are scared to experience new things in life.

Does this sound like a struggle your family has experienced? It’s way more common than we realized. And it carries over into adulthood, some of our best adult friends still experience anxiety when going over to friend’s houses for a meal because they are scared what foods may be served.

My wife is a registered dietitian and has worked over the last 17 years to create a lifestyle where she describes us as ‘Haworths are adventurous eaters.’

Her passion for this area has led to her creating a system to overcome this struggle. It’s doable, it just takes a smart plan with real-world ways to overcome the challenges moms face day in and day out with this.

So take action today, if your family struggles with this, go check out all the awesome resources Janet has created at BravePickyEaters.com. Or if you know a friend who struggles with this, pass this along.

Help teach your kids to be brave and take on fears head on and live life as an adventurous eater!
