We send a little money to help make ends meet and it has helped. The grade school kids are responding to some tutoring.
Now for the health problems: Mom 28, dad 30, both at least 50lbs over ideal. Kids- girls- age 6 and 7, already at least 30 lbs over.
We know lots of healthy tips, but most cost money. They live in a large metro area in Michigan, so shopping should be OK except for good produce in the winter.
I think they just buy the convenience food on sale, like cheap pizza, etc.
From my view maybe starting with "how to cook", or "how to read labels" books, or maybe pick a meal and give them improvement ideas- ie breakfast tips. 'Prevention' magazine?
I know having little money can be a problem, and having finicky kids can drive a mom crazy.
Any tips, books, ideas, successes, programs, please.
