It is a big responsibility to talk to moms and by that, I mean, I want my message to be one of hope and not one of fear. Fear brings about overwhelm and apathy and inaction. Instead, I wanted to share action steps that would leave everyone feeling empowered to make just one change at a time.
A powerful quote that I use in this instance is:
"No one can do everything; everyone can do something" from the non-profit organization, www.HealthyChild.org
I encouraged moms to make changes at a pace that works well for their families, whether that is making one change a month or one change every ten days....It is up to them and it is in their hands.
Imagine making just one positive change every ten days.....Where would you be in a year?
One quote that I find is tremendously empowering is from a Pediatrician, Dr. Alan Greene:
"For an individual parent, we only have a very small area to defend. Chemicals get into kids in basically three ways:
- what goes into their mouth
- what they breathe
- what goes onto their skin
If we take charge there, that is the BEST way we can protect our own kids."
Every mom (and dad) I know wants to to the best things for their kids. It is part of who they are and what makes them such a great parent for their kiddos.
If you have not seen this short and powerful video from Healthy Child Healthy World, I highly recommend you take a couple minutes to do so:
