Doctor: do you think your mom would or whoever raise you would feel the same way about you growing up <6:01:26 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: everything there's some things I didn't like but <6:01:30 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: and we will get into some fights but you know I used to sit at that table <6:01:36 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: and if I <6:01:38 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: didn't eat I didn't leave the table you know but you know they say that like you're supposed to like <6:01:42 PM> Braden - Doctor: mm <6:01:47 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: give your kids more like choice now you're not supposed to just like force them to do what you want so I guess that's what I've been trying to do <6:01:54 PM> Braden - Doctor: yeah there's definitely there's a lot of information out there about <6:02:01 PM> Braden - Doctor: how to guide your child to this or that <6:02:05 PM> Braden - Doctor: to <6:02:05 PM> Braden - Doctor: and I think really when it comes down to food the best thing is <6:02:09 PM> Braden - Doctor: firmly guide to majority healthy foods to help them grow and develop properly <6:02:09 PM> Braden - Doctor: but <6:02:17 PM> Braden - Doctor: then also and still some sense of reward you know with the treats every now and then so it's not like oh I can never have this but rather I can have this and still be healthy elsewhere you know I'm all about kind of flexibility and that sense <6:02:34 PM> Braden - Doctor: now we <6:02:35 PM> Braden - Doctor: talked about how <6:02:35 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: well <6:02:37 PM> Braden - Doctor: at least when it comes to numbers and Medicine <6:02:41 PM> Braden -

Patient: is <6:03:54 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: you would get bored and distracted and I'm pretty sure my gym is <6:04:00 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: 16 and up anyways but you know I guess that maybe if we spend more time together <6:04:00 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: you know <6:04:06 PM> Braden - Doctor: he <6:04:08 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: if <6:04:08 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: family <6:04:10 PM> Pooja Kamath - Patient: things together <6:04:12 PM> Pooja Kamath -
