751: Dr. Amy Conrad: How to Model (Imperfect) Health Habits to Your Kids

Dr. Amy Conrad is a board-certified pediatrician, founder of Kinder Digital Pediatric Clinic, host of Ask Doctor Amy (Youtube, podcast), anthropologist, and believer in good information that empowers modern parents to raise healthy kids. As a working mom, she understands the struggle parents face today with an overabundance of conflicting information. Instead of adding to the noise, Dr. Amy cuts through the clutter to pave a more natural, instinctive path to parenting by putting the focus back on the child and family.

Dr. Amy and I had a fantastic conversation about how to support your child’s physical and mental health.  

Listen in to hear Amy share:

• 3 things parents can do to give their kids a healthy foundation in life
• The importance of modeling health, not just preaching health
• The significance of modeling imperfection - that it’s ok and normal to be imperfect in your habits
• How to help your kids make positive choices around their physical & mental health as they get a little older
• How we can nurture our kids’ mental health and give them the “anchors” they need to feel supported and connected
• The current culture of parenting in Western culture and how we can choose from a variety of options and alternatives rather than accepting the Western culture status quo
• What modern working parents need to support their kids in a society that offers them so little time & resources to support 
• The importance of your child having multiple attachment figures
