Carpooling and attending school events, including sports, ballet lessons...in short, all of the enrichment activities that we connect with healthy, well rounded, non obese children.

It is a well known fact that no one can be in two places at once. Dad is able to work from home a lot but he tends to be a softie. My daughter is the enforcer and there is only one of her...he DOES take some of the load off of her by planning meals, shopping for them and cooking them. They are both intensive about healthy foods and plenty of physical exercise, which as you know is more of a problem in the winter. They literally order the kids outside to ride bikes, take walks with the dogs, etc, but this is dicier in New England in the winter...
