Your parents might not realize how important their health is to you. Now it’s your chance to let them know!
Think about it before starting.
Before you talk with your parents, it helps to get clear on what you want them to do. _小题1:_ Get more exercise? Get more sleep? If you want a parent to lose weight, you’d better find out the disadvantage of being heavy and how great they will feel after eating healthy food or exercising more.
__小题2:_____
Pick a moment when everyone’s relaxed and there’s time to talk. Say something like: “Dad, I care about your health and I worry you’re so busy that you don’t have time for exercise.” Let parents know you are willing to make the change yourself. For example, say you’d be willing to walk together after dinner.
Come up with a plan together
Has your mom or dad agreed to your ideas? Well done! Let’s say the change your mom or dad agreed to is eating healthier food.__ 小题3:_____ Examples are: I’ll eat five fruits every day. I’ll eat breakfast every morning.
Show your encouragement and understanding
It’s normal if your parents fail at first. If parents want to give up, encourage them to keep going. If you’re making a change together, you can say, “Well, I’m sorry. Let’s start fresh and go on with our plan tomorrow.” __小题4:______ Let your parents know you love and care about them for what they’re doing and that it means a lot to you.
What if a parent says “No”?
If parents don’t follow you ideas, ask them(gently): “Could you at least think about it for me ?” __小题5:_____How many times have you pushed back on something they asked you to do, but then later thought more about it?
