Ph.D. One of the best ways to increase the chances that your children will adopt wellness concepts is to model attitudes and behaviors consistent with a health-enhancing outlook on life.

I have two sets of suggestions to help you teach your children about wellness. One is a short list of specific behaviors that, if practiced in your fashion day in and day out, will go a long way to insure that you are a great parental model. The other is a couple wellness games to play that could help your children think specifically about wellness, understand it in some depth and strengthen their motivation to follow your lead in living this way. There are SOME exceptions, such as illness or an occasional rest day, but not many. Master effective self management.
