How can i help my teen develop a healthy lifestyle?

Be a role model: Nothing speaks louder than actions. Create a healthy home environment : sleep, exercise, nutrition and safety. Get good information and avoid fads. It helps to be flexible since teenagers will resist authority . Avoid becoming a bff since this is not your job as a mother. Do as you say !

Serve healthy foods : At home ; don't bring junk food into the house. Plan active family activities. Insist on consistent bedtimes.
