May 18, 2009 In the first of a two part series on children's health, we will discuss the triggers and the path they take to obesity. In the world that we live in, we strive to fit as much as we can in a day and this includes how quickly we can care for our child's needs. With obesity on the rise and target marketing flooding our children's environment, it can be a challenge to feed the physical body as well as the emotional and spiritual. Shaman M will discuss her own research with children's diet, emotions, activity, and spirituality. She will give you time saving preventative tools to help you with getting your child involved with their own health and well being. Children are our future and every bit of information you can get is valuable.
