A friend asked why the girls are so healthy looking. What is the mystery? Is there a miracle drink? No. Some discipline. This friend is rather bothered by his own three kids. They are, in his eyes too fat....... My husband replied shortly: ''No butter and the girls are on their mum's mind..''
That's right. They are on my mind, their health and their happiness. It is all part of the education we want to give to our kids, it's what we all try to do. It is something we should really make time for. And that's the bottleneck, so often: people, we, parents just have no time.
While listening to my daughter, playing the piano, I think, it's all about some discipline. I remember an interview with a theatre actress, a French actress. Her voice was beautiful, her ambition crystal clear, the way she talked about her profession, the disciplines she implemented every single day. She mentioned the way she fed herself: regularity, food rules. It's about discipline, your whole life.
The piano play isn't too good today. She didn't practice a lot last week. The good thing is we played open cards with the piano teacher.
I did the talk for my daughter. She asked me to do so. The positive outcome of sharing the message: ''I didn't practice'', is the honest feeling towards yourself. She knows: next time I'll be better prepared.
Focus on discipline. The goal is a rehearsal in some weeks, and the rule is so simple: practice every day.
And that's the same for decent food and a sense of honesty towards our body and health.We need to add discipline in our schedule every day. As parents, taking time together at least to prepare a meal. Socializing and enjoying some nice food is the next step. And sometimes when there is even more time available: there will be talks about different tastes, momentum for exploring recipes and seducing the senses.
Sharing a good meal is much more than just eating and starts with some discipline.
