- Pais e mães
In parenting teenagers, a conundrum that often arises is balancing fostering healthy habits and navigating the evolving preferences and influences that come with adolescence.
This is especially true for one parent that asked, "Help! When my kids were younger, I was pretty mindful about buying good stuff. Now I feel like I've lost all control. How can I get my kids to use more non-toxic products?"
This sentiment resonates with many parents who find themselves grappling with mindful, healthy practices while accommodating the increasing independence and choices of their growing children.
To shed light on this topic, we turn to Maia James, the founder of Gimme the Good Stuff.
In this episode, Maia shared practical insights:
✅ The challenges of navigating the natural products market
✅ Starting Gimme the Good Stuff and simplifying the overwhelming choices of natural products
✅ Balancing control and relationship in parenting teens
✅ Making better and healthier food and product choices for teens
✅ How Maia James fosters connection with her kids
Maia James is the founder and president of Gimme the Good Stuff, Inc. at www.gimmethegoodstuff.org, a free online resource, and store that gives busy parents peace of mind by helping them easily navigate the confusing world of “natural” products.
Maia grew up in Vermont in a household without a TV or microwave, where her family followed a vegetarian, organic diet and eschewed most Western medicine.
Now a parent herself, Maia strives to find the balance between the convenience of a standard American childrearing style and a more natural—but often more difficult—approach. Maia lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Daylon, and her two tween/teen sons.
Maia has written for or been mentioned in a variety of publications, including The New York Times, New York Magazine, and The Huffington Post, and has appeared numerous times as an expert on The Dr. Oz Show.
