Healthy Advice from a New Grandparent
Posted by Joe Antle on December 2, 2018 8:25 PM EST

Earlier this week, I became a grandparent for the first time, and in two months will greet a second grandchild.....
...and have been thinking about what words of wisdom I could provide the youngsters that could help them start early and stay on track for a healthy lifestyle.
In the spirit of simple advice that can help a child start out right on the journey of a healthy and prosperous life, here are my initial thoughts. (Count on me to add to these from time to time as the spirit moves me and as additional ideas come to mind):
Respect Others
Show You Care By Your Actions
Don't Overeat (Eat Nutritious Food)
Share With Others
Smile, Even When It Hurts
Be Humble, Don't Brag
Think Before You Speak
Actions Are Louder Than Words
Clean Your Plate When You Eat
Practice Makes Perfect
Walk Before You Run
Never, Never Ever Give Up
It At First You Don't Succeed Try Again
Look at the Speaker's Eyes
First Things First
Listen and Seek to Understand Before Being Understood
Talk Softly and Carry a Big Stick
Treat Others Better Than They Treat You
Don't Carry A Grudge
Forgive, Even if You Don't Forget
Measure Twice, But Only Cut Once
Skate to Where The Puck is Going
Tell The Truth..Always
Be Polite and Say Please and Thank You
Be Prepared
