Nature + Nurture: Effective Tips for Child Behavior and Nutrition. Combining the Paleo Lifestyle with Behavioral Science

By Michael Downes

This book is about combining the science with the art of behavioral theory, nutrition and lifestyle choices in order to be the best parent possible. These are the strategies I've learned during my education and life experiences that have taught me to be a better educator, parent, and person. The advice provided in this book will work for most children because these recommendations are based on behavioral science research.Food has a huge impact on our lives. It affects our sleep, mood, and overall physical/mental health. In fact, all of these important variables (nutrition, sleep, physical activity, relationships) affect one another, especially with how we act (behavior). There are other factors that could be included of course, such as genetics, physical/mental trauma, social/economic status, etc. However, I focus on the variables that we have a better chance of changing and improving (i.e., nutrition, exercise, sleep and behavior), which is why these topics are included in this book. When you are at your best mentally and physically you can then be a consistently reliable person and parent for your child. In most professions and especially as a parent, you can't do a good job of helping others if you don't feel good yourself. My hope is that this book will help others find their own path to improving their lives and the lives of their family members.
