That's why the sooner in life we build good, healthy habits, the easier it is to keep them and stay as healthy as possible. And when good habits are in place, it's easier to resist bad ones.</p> <h3 class="HwSubSectionTitle" fingerprint="e38a02fa" fingerprint-exact="9549fb7a">Your child's habits start with you</h3> <p fingerprint="0d18872f" fingerprint-exact="aad71da1">The most important thing to remember is that you are your child's role model. Your habits affect your children's habits.</p> <p fingerprint="58b69055" fingerprint-exact="f9bb2b24">If your habits are unhealthy—smoking, drinking too much alcohol, or always expecting the worst, for example—your child is more likely to get those habits.</p> <p fingerprint="6bb2f539" fingerprint-exact="57b57e30">If your habits are healthy—eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, looking forward to tomorrow, for example—your children are more likely to build those habits in their own lives.</p> <p fingerprint="db21720c" fingerprint-exact="96f761f1">What follows is help and
