Lots of people believe it’s the formative years, between birth and maybe 5 or so. Don’t get me wrong, that’s important. I’ve been priveleged enough to change diapers when my lazy mother made a face and looked away, the so called caring Granny when a six month old was wailing.

Needless to say, I myself was never breastfed, even in that era where things were way more natural. Gotta give it to the ex in that regard, she did at least that right, and completely of her own volition.

Why people think they can replace Mother Nature with tins and cartons of junk in the name of being modern is kinda beyond me.

Kinda?

Anyway.

I remember an uncle of mine, mixed memories, overall an ok dude who coined the term – rightly so – wolf – for me.

He didnt know how spot on he was. Hehe.

I’ve got both good and bad memories with him, but the bad, well, like me, he can be short tempered on occasion.

Two swords will ultimately clash. Hehe.

He has it spot on about women tho.

Anyway, i remember once asking him about why he didn’t party, smoke weed etc any more – and when going to a New Years get together, he was like “in the past we would be sitting, drinking, doing it all”.

But now my son’s 5, he went. That age, they start noticing things, picking things up….

True.

It’s why I never smoke in front of my daughter, the occasional beer maybe but that’s it.

She will make her own decisions, sure, but there’s no need to rush that process mentally.

And the past three or four years, Covid meant I’ve seen her grow up between 5-9… and I hope i will till 12.

I don’t get to spend a lot of, if any, time with her. What I do get i make sure it counts.

Fitness wise, you gotta get them started much earlier.

But this age period is basically a time where it’s last chance saloon – if they get hooked now, nothing’s lost – as yet.

Try telling that to plus 12 year old Princesses tho, hehe, or young guys.

I’m sure I’ll find out!

Grab your copy of Kiddie fitness now my friend. And grab a copy of the audiobook too. Remember, they’re meant to go together despite what folks think (ditto for nigh everyone telling me my audiobooks would never succeed, people need to see pics etc for exercise which yes, they do, yet, here we are … selling like hotcakes in that regard too. It’s about customer mindset over all, I could explain why but i won’t give it away right as yet. ;)).

That’s that, then ..

Back to my repose in my dark room.

Best
