In a world full of watchful eyes -- whether at a school pickup line or behind screens on social media -- judgement among parents can prove particularly difficult. But Bell shared some sage advice for other parents -- and anyone -- dealing with critics.
\"I think it's a waste of time to worry about what other people think of you, across the board,\" Bell said. \"I say that to myself in the mirror sometimes, I say that to my kids. Nobody knows what's best for your child except you.\"
Circling back to the former first lady, Bell said, \"I've always been so impressed with what [she] has done with the education around nutrition and activity -- and really walks the walk with Plezi -- to answer questions when it comes to kids health and being really transparent -- serving as an educational platform.\"
PLEZi's seeks to engage with parents and caregivers to bring transparency to kids' health, like encouraging drinking water and eating fruits and vegetables, because PLEZi Nutrition’s products are not intended to replace water and whole foods.
