Family Resolution - Agree ...
The acorn
doesn't fall far
from the tree.
Like mother like
daughter. A
chip off the old
block. Children
learn what they
live.
While those are
clichéd, trite
phrases, there
is much truth to
them. Comedians
joke that if you
want to see what
your wife will
look like in
forty years,
look at her
mother.
Whether
intentional or
not,
generational
traits are
passed down from
parents to
children. If
mom and dad live
a fairly healthy
lifestyle, odds
are much greater
that the
children will
follow suit.
Conversely, if
the head of the
household
believes being
on a diet means
skipping the
super size fries
and adding extra
lettuce to the
fast food
burger, we can
surmise the
outlook that the
children will
hold.
There is no time
like the present
to turn the
sinking ship
around. New
Years is the
perfect time to
make a family
resolution
– agree to
set healthier
habits. One
can't do it
without the
support of
others, so the
entire family
might as well
jump on board.
The easiest
change a family
can start with
is in food
consumption.
Obviously you'll
need to
incorporate
exercise into
the habits;
however starting
with food is a
small step with
measurable
results. Simply
do not bring
junk food into
the house. If
you have chips,
sodas and ice
cream available,
would you really
be able to just
have some
grapes? More
than anything
you will need a
change of
mindset.
Sit down at the
table as a
family and get
input from
everyone. Talk
about the health
risks, talk
about wanting to
be around for
the children for
years to come.
Make an
agreement that
there will be no
closet eating.
Agree to look
for creative
recipes so that
it doesn't seem
like you're
eating rabbit
food.
Forcing or
demanding
healthier habits
is formula for
failure. If you
can make other
family members
feel that they
are part of the
decision and
truly understand
the importance
of it, positive
results will be
easier to
achieve.
Hold each other
accountable.
Give son
permission to
question mom why
she's eating a
donut. Agree to
support, not
ridicule.
Accept
digressions as
temporary set
backs, not
failures. Agree
that failure is
not an option.
Keep on keeping
on.
Baby Teething Remedies
Teething
normally occurs
in babies
between the ages
of six and nine
months. Some
common symptoms
of teething
include cranky
moods, swollen
gums, drooling,
fever, and
excessive biting
on objects.
You should
expect your baby
to be fussy, as
her gums are in
an extremely
tender state
during the
teething
process. She
might even
refuse to eat or
take her bottle
if she is
uncomfortable or
in pain.
Here are some
common baby
teething
remedies that
will help ease
your
baby’s
discomfort:
* Rub his gums
with your
finger. Remember
to wash your
hands before
doing so.
* Soak one end
of a clean bath
cloth in water.
Place the wet
cloth in a
refrigerator.
Once chilled,
let your baby
bite or suck on
the cold cloth.
* Chill a
teething ring or
teething toy in
the refrigerator
for a couple of
hours. Let your
baby chew on the
cold toy.
* Offer your
baby a frozen
banana (with
adult
supervision). Be
sure to freeze
the banana
thoroughly
before giving it
to your baby.
Cut the banana
in half to make
it easier for
your baby to
hold.
* Use an OTC
(over the
counter)
teething gel.
These gels are
specially
formulated to be
safe for your
baby. Read and
follow the
instructions on
the package
carefully before
applying the gel
to your
baby’s
gums.
* Administer
Tylenol or
Motrin, for pain
and fever as
recommended by
your
pediatrician. If
your baby has
trouble sleeping
at night,
consider giving
them a dose of
pain medication
just before
bedtime. If
you’re
unsure of what
pain medications
to give your
baby, make sure
to check with
your
pediatrician
first.
Free Guardianship Documen ...
Millions of
children’s
futures are at
risk because
70% of American
families
don’t have

Free
Guardianship
Documents
offered by Stork
Avenue, Inc.
Tim
McGraw’s
song, "Live Like
You Were Dying,"
reminds us to
never assume
that we have all
the time in the
world. The
nearly 3,000
children who
lost one or more
parents on 9/11
know that better
than most.
Unfortunately,
more than 70
million American
parents
haven’t
made one
critical
decision that
will affect
their
children’s
lives forever:
who will care
for their kids
if the
unthinkable
happened?
“As
parents, we know
we need to
protect our kids
from the
unexpected,&rdqu
o; said Bob
Hunter,
president of
Stork Avenue,
Inc. “And,
as a company who
has helped more
than 1 million
families
announce their
new additions,
we are
especially
sensitive to our
customers wants
and needs.
That’s why
we created a
website several
years ago to
help parents
easily and
cost-effectively
create child
guardianship
documents.&rdquo
;
“Now, in
these tough
economic times,
we all need to
find ways to
help each other,
so we’ve
decided to give
away these
expertly-written
documents to our
customers.&rdquo
;
Along with
helping parents
prepare the
documents,
GuardianshipDocu
ments.com also
explains a
guardian’s
role and
provides tips on
how to choose a
guardian.
“Making a
decision like
this is not
easy, but it
must be
made,”
Hunter said.
“Consideri
ng our own
mortality and
discussing it
with friends and
loved-ones also
is tough, but
shouldn’t
prevent us from
making such a
critical
decision.”

first
aid.Grunberg
collaborated
with the
Epilepsy

its professional
advisory board
of epilepsy
experts to
create the
medical
presentations on

ensure the most
accurate and
timely
information is
available to

visitors.The
site also
features an
online community
where the public
can post videos,
photos, stories

creative

highlighting
their
participation in
fulfilling the
Talk About It
Promise to raise
awareness and
end the
misperceptions
about people
with epilepsy in
communities
throughout
America and
around the
globe.“Bei
ng the parent of
a child with
epilepsy can be
such a lonely
feeling,”
Said Grunberg.
“Going
through the
process of
finding any way
you can to make
your child
better is
complicated and
draining. But,
what we found
even more
emotionally
devastating was
how society
reacted to
people with
epilepsy. Most
people
don’t know
what epilepsy
is, what to do
when someone has
a seizure, or
how they should
respond when
they hear
someone has
epilepsy. I
created Talk
About It.org so
parents of
children with
epilepsy –
anyone with
epilepsy –
will not feel
isolated or
afraid ever
again. I am so
excited and
thankful so many
of my friends
joined me to
spread the Talk
About It
Promise.”G
runberg’s
ALIAS co-star
Jennifer Garner,
Grammy-winning
artist John
Mayer and the
entire HEROES
cast are among
the celebrities
helping fulfill
the Talk About
It
Promise.“G
reg Grunberg has
been a strong
advocate for our
community and
has helped
significantly in
bringing
epilepsy out of
the
shadows.”
said Eric
Hargis,
President and
CEO of the
Epilepsy
Foundation
“Now, with
Talk About
It.org, Greg has
brought together
dozens of
celebrity
friends and
helped provide a
platform for
everyone
–with or
without epilepsy
– to
literally talk
about it. I
believe that
with
TalkAboutIt.org
and other
Epilepsy
Foundation
resources
nationally and
locally, we are
at the tipping
point to end the
stigma around
epilepsy and
seizures.”
