In the podcast we talk about the Top Seven Holistic Approaches to a healthy child.

ii. Find their Strengths and Use Them to Serve Others
iii. Stay Active
iv. Navigate Life with a Moral Compass
v. Cultivate Healthy Habits
vi. Encourage Growth Mindset
vii. Practice Mindfulness
We go into detail on each aspect and Cora shares her experience and expertise on how health is not just about physical health but is about developing Physical, Mental and Spiritual Health in a "Holistic Way". There is no magic wand and Cora discusses a step by step approach, making progress in small increments which when repeated over time can lead to very big gains. It’s a part of a lifelong journey.
