Having kids changes you — in ways big and small. For us, raising Leo and Lily has reminded us of simple, powerful truths about health and happiness that we had long forgotten. Kids don’t need science or wellness trends to live well — they just do.
Here are 6 lessons from kids that can transform your health and well-being starting today.
1. Be Fully Present
Kids don’t ruminate on yesterday or stress about tomorrow — they’re fully in the moment. Studies have shown that practicing mindfulness reduces stress, improves digestion, and even lowers inflammation. Put your phone down for a few minutes today, take a deep breath, and notice what’s around you.
2. Play More
For kids, life itself is play. Movement, meals, even chores feel like games. Adults can benefit from bringing more joy into routines — whether that’s dancing while making dinner, turning your walk into a mini-adventure, or blending a colorful smoothie just for fun.
3. Eat When You’re Hungry — Stop When You’re Full
Sounds simple, right? Yet as adults, many of us have lost touch with our body’s natural hunger and fullness signals. Tuning back in can improve digestion, stabilize mood, and help maintain a healthy weight without “dieting.”
4. Move Your Body Throughout the Day
Kids rarely sit still. And neither should we. Prolonged sitting is linked to numerous health risks, but small, frequent movements — stretching, walking, climbing stairs — keep your body happy and healthy.
5. Feel Your Emotions
Kids cry when they’re sad and laugh when they’re happy — they don’t bottle it up. Letting yourself feel and express your emotions instead of suppressing them helps reduce stress and even physical tension.
6. Live With Wonder
Kids marvel at flowers, stars, even a simple bird in the sky. This sense of awe and gratitude is more than cute — research shows it boosts mental health and strengthens your immune system.
