Modeling Self-Respect: How Our Kids Learn to Honor Their Bodies

Recently, I caught myself pausing before grabbing another cup of coffee, asking if my body really needed it or if it was just habit. My daughter noticed and asked why I hesitated. I explained that I was trying to listen to what my body needed instead of just going through the motions. Later that week, I saw her do the same—she stopped mid-snack and said, "I think I'm full now." It was a small moment, but it reminded me how closely our kids watch us. When we honor our bodies, they learn to do the same. How do you show your kids the importance of listening to their bodies?
