A parent’s instinct is to protect their child at every turn. Parents never want their child to experience any pain – whether it be physical pain or emotional pain. But if you’re kid starts playing sports he/she will have to learn how to lose and learn how to deal with not getting the results that were hoped for. Here are some coping strategies you can do to help your kid…

Alone time – after a loss give your child some time alone to decompress and process things
Venting – when your kid is ready to talk, listen and discuss but don’t make excuses
Role Model – Always take the high road – don’t let your kid get away with being disrespectful or throw a tantrum

Vegetable Omelette Recipe

This vegetable omelette recipe is the Fat Guy’s new favorite breakfast. Whether you spell it omelet or the classier omelette – it tastes awesome. In some butter saute up some veggies you like – we use finely chopped red, yellow and orange peppers ( my kid loves to add bacon and cheese to this meal) – Crack 2-3 eggs per small pan and scramble them up in a bowl. When the veggies are done and you’ve removed any excess liquid then pour the eggs on top. Wait until the eggs solidify around the veggies while you gently move the whole mixture around. Now it is time for the flip – be careful this will make or break this – flip and let cook for a while longer – until all the eggs get done. Put it on the plate and fold it over.
