Really great phrases to use with teenagers. Instead of telling them what to do, which they don’t like it will plant the seeds of motivation. #ParentPower

I hated exercise when I was younger but enjoy it much more now. I think schools put too much pressure on competition so many kids don’t enjoy PE whereas individual challenges would be more successful. #parentpower

It’s not easy but breaking things down into small victories really can work!
Thanks for letting me help contribute, I hope that some people get value out of it.
I think it might be the same after pregnancy or a long injury layoff for adults as well – the task/end goal might seem enormous but bit by bit you get there. Just hard to enjoy the small wins at first.
