so long as parents also do other things to make their kids smile--specifically spending quality time with them, bolstering their self-esteem.

I defeated obesity.... lost 148 lbs to do so.

But even now a bite of chocolate or a cookie can make me smile. It's not the only thing that makes me smile, but it still can make me smile.
