Healthy Parents = Healthy Parenting

If parents take care of their physical and psychological health first and foremost then they will be in the best frame of mind and state of being to care for, respond to, and teach their children.

Parents will be better prepared for any of the parenting challenges that arise daily when they are healthy mentally. Parents will be able to remain calm and even resort to humor during the most frustrating interactions when they start with a healthy foundation. Parents are able to make better decision, be more logical, and feel more confident when they eat right, get proper rest, drink plenty of water, exercise, practice positive thinking, have healthy, safe fun, and lead an overall healthy life.

Parents need to remember to take care of themselves first always and make it a lifestyle.

And remember you are teaching your child by way of role modeling how to take care of themselves as well! Bonus!
