If you have children in your home you probably encourage them to make healthy choices with food, exercise and social interactions.  Dr. Patricia Riba is a pediatrician who specializes in nutrition and healthy lifestyles for children.  She offers advice on how parents can make positive changes, how to avoid dysfunctional associations with food and why diets and talk of diets around children is something to be avoided.  There is plenty of positive reinforcement in this interview from a pediatrician who treats children and helps families improve their lives everyday.  Dr. Riba is the co-author of the book, "Fit Kids Revolution - diet-free guide to raising healthy children."  You'll hear her offer advice to parents who can do a bit more, parents who need to dial it back a bit, how "screen time" influences behaviors and the role of a schedule in children's lives.
