Pomegranate joy. Just putting some “hope I get new paints” and “food isn't just about nutrients” vibes out there.

Merry Christmas.

No your coffee is not dehydrating.

Imagine a kid having his juice box being taken away cause they “should just drink water”.

Not all kids will just drink plain water. Water bottles leak. Water can taste different at school than home.

Imagine as a teacher no caffeine being allowed on property - cause it’s dehydrating (it’s not). Or only non sweetened caffeine (cause sugar). Umm no thanks.

Hydration looks different for different people.

You know your body best.

Trust that kids’ caregivers know what works for them.

😳Ummm. What did you say? Shoot. How to respond?

😳Ummm. What did you say? Shoot. How to respond? Ugh.

Teachers. If i haven't said it lately, you rock. If anyone knows how to turn on a dime, it's you. And yet, these types of comments can really throw even the best off their game.

These comments are filled with value statements and can instantly introduce risk.

How would I respond? Something like this to grade 5-6ers. Fully noting I am not a teacher.

"Hmm. It sounds like that is very important to your uncle. Usually no single nutrient is bad for us, but lots of people have different needs for their food. Things they need to avoid or have less of for many reasons (allergies, health conditions, religion etc.). What's important to remember is that our needs are all different, and nothing applies to all of us. Carbohydrates are parts of many many foods and really important for growing, learning and having enough energy."

❓❓How would you respond?
