Even though the steps enumerated seem logical and I assume often lacking from parents' actions, I can't seem to shake the feeling that discipline needs to be part of the equation too.
I know it is anecdotal, but sometimes I just didn't do something not because in the future the threat of Diabetes would be real, but because I didn't want a night of a not being able to sit down, due to an unfriendly encounter with Mr Wooden Spoon aided by my father.
Good communication is a must, great role modelling from parents is also advantageous, however strong discipline is also an ingredient for this recipe of success.
