Thanksgiving: Is it worth letting your child cheat on his/her diet?

Originally Aired Mon, 11/26/2012 - 2:00pm

Thanksgiving. A time for family and feasting. It can be tempting to say, “Why don’t I let my child eat what everyone else is eating just for this one day?” Raun and Kristin swoop in to stop a fiasco before it happens by explaining why not to cheat “just for one day” and what to do instead. They also argue about arguing (no surprise there), take time to celebrate our kids, and Kristin outlines three strategies to reduce anxiety and boost your mood. In honor of Thanksgiving, Raun does something very un-rant-like and recommends the best movies of 2012.
