    I received your new magazine today and thought that the articles were great!You presented a variety of topics with very useful and sound information for parents…almost. As an early Childhood Educator I am always looking for the messages that adults send children. We must stop the notion that children must not know that healthy is good. (page 31 Shhh, don’t tell the kids these foods are good for them.) No, tell them! Tell them, “Mangoes are magnificent! Neat word, magnificent. They make you see like a hawk and make your heart strong.” What child doesn’t want to be strong? That’s a short message,an inticing message and maybe even introduces a new word or two. Children need to learn which foods are healthy at an early age. If we keep this from them, when and how will they make healthy choices for themselves? It is a silly adult notion that good foods are yucky. Kids don’t come with that notion, adults teach it to them in very subtle ways. Let’s stop and start teaching the true facts. Healthy food is an adventure in taste, smell, texture, and can be an adventure in language too. Try it.
    Thanks for listening. My passion gets the better of me, but it comes from my love of seeing children and parents learn. I know that you too have a passion for making things better for families.
    I wish you continued success with the magazine!
