My vision is to raise awareness of the psychological factors that contribute to misbehaving and obesity, despite everyones fears about the emotional component. Knowledge is power, and without knowledge of how feelings contribute to acting out and overeating, behavior can’t change. While it’s true that kids have too much fast food, too much homework and not enough recess or physical activity, these problems cannot be solved without dealing with the underlying emotional issues. For example we need to get rid of the heroin coming across and the border and all the unhealthy food but taking away the supply doesn't help the addict deal with psychological and physical manifestations of the addiction. Most people go into parenting — the most important job in the world — with little or no training. The most important thing a parent can do is teach their children how to regulate their emotions so they're not driven to overeat. This essential skill does not happen on its own. I help parents and kids understand and learn how to express how they feel. These Feelings Skills lead to positive changes in behavior and the formation of healthy habits that last a lifetime. Prevention instead of Intervention !
