Children’s Hospital Controversy

Hospitals are supposed to be a place with the purpose of making people healthier. Many children’s hospital cafeterias and patient menus are dominated by foods high in fat, cholesterol, calories, sugar, and sodium. Processed meats such as bacon, sausage, and hot dogs are also common despite their established link with cancer and diabetes. In fact McDonald’s has restaurants in 27 hospitals including a children’s hospital!! How can this be? It makes you wonder if these hospitals are trying to make kids healthy or sick.

If you tried your best, there is no shame in failure . . . only in quitting.

Teach Giving Back

By

Demonstrate that giving back is the most important thing one can do. You can teach this with money. If you hand a kid a quarter to drop into the local street corner animal shelter container, they are just delivering YOUR money so nothing is learned. Sometimes kids need to know how it feels to help others with the sacrifice of donating their own money. This also works with donating some holiday and birthday presents and Halloween candy to the sick or poor.
