F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 0 7 Parenting Valentine Cards CEO of the House b y L A U R I E M C D E R M O T T “I want Dora!” “No! Sponge Bob!” “It’s okay…everyone gets one box of Valentines cards that they want.” I spoke to my younger kids calmly, trying to separate evil from understanding, while their nine-year old brother Ty rolled his eyes. Trying to sound encouraging I turned to him and asked, “What Valentine cards do you want to pick out?” Ty glared at me and spoke like a true man as he flipped his hair, Zac Efron-ish, to the left. “I don’t. Valentine’s Day is for weirdos.” At the age of nine, without knowing love, women or the fact that he will one day hate this holiday for all the reasons that already annoy him, I reminded him he needed to get cards for school, to pass out something to his classmates the following day. “Mom, they won’t miss me if I don’t do it.” “Yes, they will.” “Mom, it’s stupid, I’ll go to the nurse or hide somewhere.” He had a point. I remember feeling that same way as a girl. There was so much pressure to have a date or a man or feel like someone loves you on February 14, that I would sometimes go into hiding if there wasn’t anyone special in my life. But now being older and wiser, I’ve come to see Valentine’s Day as a day of opportunity to tell those you love, even friends and family members, how you feel about them. It’s awkward to walk up to someone and tell them what you are thinking. So I use this day as a day to send cards and share my feelings that they are special. I turned back to Ty, “Didn’t Sean rescue you this year when you were being teased?” “What? Yeah…” “Weren’t you so happy when Tommy made you feel welcome at a party where you knew no other kids?” Ty was getting my point. “Yes…” “What if you tell them on the card? Just one or two words?” I knew I was getting somewhere because Ty’s eyes grew wide. We decided to make the cards with red paper, cut into 5 inch squares. Ty then put all the kids in his class’s name on one side and on the other he wrote a few words of what he thought of that person. The lesson was not only great for giving it was also good for my son to realize how much he liked and appreciated his friends as well as why he liked them...fun, cool, hilarious, hip, and silly. “Can I put ‘idiot’ on one?” Ty laughed. “No. The object is for only kind words.” “Mom, if a kid isn’t kind, I can’t lie. I’ll just write my name and write ‘Happy Valentine’s Day.’” I reminded him of my golden rule, “Everyone wants to be loved. Everyone wants to fit in.” Ty moaned, but I knew my repeating declaration would stay in his mind for life. When he came home from school he carried a big brown bag of cards and handed them to me, “Mine were the best, Mom.” “Why do you say that?” Ty opened his bag, “Look at these…all cheesy characters that mean nothing. Mine were real. Mine came from the heart.” “I’m so glad you like Valentine’s Day.” “Mom, it’s my favorite holiday.” I paused, “Can you go tell your dad that?” I was thrilled Ty understood the spirit of Valentine’s Day or any day you have to come up with something to give someone. Buying something is easy. Thinking, writing and caring about each person, one by one, is a gift in itself, one that can’t be taught, one that must be learned. Whoever Ty marries one day, she’ll be one lucky girl. LAURIE MCDERMOTT is a standup comic and author of the book The CEO of the House—True Tales, Stories & Recipes of a Loudmouth Mother.

8 <a href="www.familymagazinegroup.com"> w w w . f a m i l y m a g a z i n e g r o u p . c o m</a> The answer to “Where do babies come from?” can be complicated. Even if you are a single parent by choice, if you adopted your child, if you are gay or lesbian parents, whether by surrogate or petrie dish, your child still needs to know where babies comes from and what having sex is, “the old fashioned way.” All parents want their children to come to them with the big questions, like those about sex. Setting up good communication habits can go a long way toward making that happen. Here are some tips for beginning your child’s sex education. Tips Before You Talk Practice your script. Parents who are clear on their explanations have the easiest time talking with their children. Answer your child’s questions and avoid responses that will turn your child away. Certain comments give the message that the questions were not okay to ask. Don’t say, “That’s not an appropriate question,” “Why do you want to know; who told you about that?,” “You’re too young to know that information” or, “Go ask your father.” When your child asks a question, figure out what she is really asking. You might repeat the question your child has just asked: “So, you are wondering how the baby gets out of the woman’s body?” Be honest and give your child the facts. Tell your child the truth, using the real words. Use the drip method. Offer only a small amount of information at a time. Don’t flood your child with information. She needs to absorb the information. If she needs more, she will ask. Scripts for When She Wants Answers “Where do babies come from?” “A baby grows inside a special place inside the mother’s body called the uterus or womb. It is right next to her tummy. That is the big hump you see in woman who is pregnant.” Some people are horrified by the idea of using the words uterus or womb. But children need to be taught that the only things that go into a tummy are food, drink, and medicine. Remember how you used to think you could grow a baby from eating a seed or an egg? They will, too. “But how do you make a baby?” For some children the explanation of where the baby is growing will be enough… for now. Others might want more information. You can add, “The baby starts from an ovum that is inside a grown Just Tell Me What to Say… Tips and Scripts for Talking to Young Children about Sex b y B E T S Y B R O W N B R A U N Continued on page XX Parenting

An ovum is a teeny tiny kind of an egg that is as big as a pencil dot” (and use a pencil to make a dot.) “When a tiny seed called a sperm” (another pencil dot, with a tail) “from the grown man joins with the woman’s ovum, it starts to grow into a baby.” And more, if there is interest: “When a uterus has a baby growing in it, it stretches and stretches as the baby gets bigger, big enough to be born. That’s why a pregnant woman looks like she has a big tummy. But it isn’t her tummy; it is her stretched out uterus.” It is important to differentiate between an ovum and a plain old egg, as your child will certainly picture a chicken’s egg. “How did the baby get into the woman’s uterus?” Soon (sometimes as early as age four, but sometimes not until much later) you will get this question. You are not alone if this next part makes you sweat. But remember, your child needs to know the facts. “The man puts his seed, called sperm, inside the woman when they have sex, something that grown ups do as part of their special, private time together.” You may be able to leave it at that. Depending on your child’s maturity and the extent of his curiosity and continuing questions, you can add: “Having sex is also called making love. A grown up man and a grown up woman lie down very close together. They kiss and touch each other, and the man puts his penis in the woman’s vagina. The sperm comes out of the man’s penis and into the woman’s vagina where it joins with her ovum. Having sex or making love is something that only grown up people do.” You might want to add: “Grown ups have sex because they love each other very, very much.” It is important that the context for making babies is love between grown up people. (And some may want to add that grown-ups do it after they have finished college and have a job and are self supporting!) When your child says “Oh that’s yucky!” Sometimes children will respond with distaste. Younger children think it is yucky; older ones think it is just plain gross. “Right now when you are little, it does sound yucky. But when you grow up and you have grown up feelings, it won’t seem yucky at all. It is something that grown-ups like to do.” Okay. Now you’ve heard it. You can start breathing again. These words are only suggestions to “arm” you as you await the inevitable questions. Hopefully, you will have plenty of time to practice your answers.

At camp, the counselors teach batting, fielding, throwing and chewing bubble gum. The campers teach scratching, spitting and singing rude songs. Huck comes home singing about Batman peeing on the wall, Scooby Doo eating poo and a word-play game that he generously teaches his five-year-old brother: “Hey, Butch,” he whispers to him with a sly smile, “say ‘X’ really fast, over and over.” Butch, pleased to be enlisted in his brother’s game, says: “X X X X X X X.” Huck giggles uncontrollably. “You said, ‘Sex sex sex sex. Butch is unperturbed. To the contrary, he thinks it is the pinnacle of humor. They keep at it. They sling “X X X X” all over the neighborhood. It’s getting a little out of control. My husband decides he has been handed a “teachable moment.” It is time to Talk About Sex. It’s not like we haven’t talked with our children before about where babies come from. They have long known that a man’s sperm fertilizes a woman’s egg, leading to the development of a baby. They have had lengthy discussions about the games they must have played with each other when they were lonely eggs together in my uterus, waiting to become zygotes and begin their cells dividing. A sleepy, sluggish three-year-old Butch once commented, “I’m not feeling very fertilized right now.” But they have never asked The Big One: how do the sperm and ovum end up at the same party? I always expected to be the one to have The Talk. After all, two years ago our older son asked my husband, “Daddy, how do babies get inside Mommy’s tummy?” and his father replied, chin in hand, “Good question. You should ask Mommy about that some time.” Christopher decides to step up to the plate. “Do you know what sex is, guys?” “Yes.” Butch replies. “It means kissing.” “No,” Huck counters, “it’s naked cuddling.” I listen from the other room as their father takes a swing. “Sex,” he explains, “is when a man puts his penis in a woman’s vagina, because they want to make a baby.” Silence. No laughter. Shock has set in. For all of us. I listen for a sound, anything. Finally, Butch speaks: “I’m hungry.” And so we move on . . . . The next day the four of us go to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. During the previews, two characters kiss. “That’s sex, right mom?” Butch asks. Thank goodness I overhead their dad’s explanation yesterday. I repeat it, adding for good measure: “ . . . because they love each other and are married.” I consider adding that the man and woman have Ph.D’s, but let it go for now. “Oh yeah,” Butch says, and the movie begins. Sexy girl chipmunks shake their rumps singing Beyonce’s Single Ladies, and fawn over Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Obnoxious teenage boys threaten Alvin because dippy teenage girls have swooned and sighed over these rodent rock stars. Sex is everywhere. Walking home later, Butch explores every leaf on every plant. I watch him, marvel at his concentration, wonder at his inner conversation. Out of the silence he asks in the slow, articulated voice he has, “Can I play with Kevin tomorrow?” He considers the leaf in his hand. “I want to tell him what sex is.” Uh-oh. I envision him becoming the scourge of the pre-school, the playmate to avoid. “Well, honey,” I try to appeal to his sense of propriety, “that’s something his mommy and daddy want to tell him about. It’s not for friends to tell.” I almost add, “Kind of like Santa Claus,” but that would just complicate matters. Butch seemed to understand, but his eyes betray significant disappointment. “I wish I could tell him,” he adds. “I know, honey. But please don’t.” We get home and I e-mail Kevin’s mother an advance apology for the things my son will no doubt teach hers, not just in pre-school but over the next thirteen years. I get a frantic reply from her, wanting to know exactly what words she should prepare for. When I tell her over the phone the words we used, verbatim, I hear the now-expected silence, and wonder if the phone has gone dead. Then I hear her breathe. “Wow,” she sputters. “You guys left nothing to the imagination.” Yeah. We figured it was best that way. And I wonder as we say goodbye, if maybe we’re all going to be on the “playmates to avoid” list for a while. LAURA DIAMOND is editor of Family Magazine.

F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 0 11 Dear Developmental Doc: My son is 17 years old and has Asperger’s Disorder. He attends a regular high school program and there is a girl in his homeroom whom he has tutored in math. She appreciates my son’s brains, but he has mistaken her gratitude for affection. He talked obsessively for weeks about inviting her to the school Valentine Dance, and I was surprised when she agreed to go with him. Now I’m fearful that he will embarrass himself on the date. I know that part of life is learning to grow through hard experiences, but how much do I interfere when it comes to my son who is socially clueless? Doris H., Long Beach, CA. Dear Doris: Asperger’s Disorder is what many developmental experts believe to be the highest form of functioning within the autism spectrum and is characterized by the inability to comprehend social nuances, while at the same time having the capacity for great academic intelligence. Teenagers with Asperger’s need more support than their neuro- typically developing peers. I don’t consider your involvement as interfering. In fact, I recently had a very similar scenario play itself out in my office, when a dad brought his son with developmental delays to see me in anticipation of the young man’s first date. We took the opportunity and, more importantly, the motivation for going out, to address long standing social skill concerns. Together, we came up with a list of concrete suggestions I think you’ll find helpful as you help your son navigate this new experience. 1. Use your son’s motivation to succeed on his date to talk about good hygiene. Often, because of underlying sensory regulatory issues, adolescents with developmental delays can be tactilely defensive and reluctant to wash their bodies, shampoo their hair, use deodorant, or shave on a regular basis. While he may not be bothered by his bodily odors, explain to your son how important it is to keep himself clean, and how by doing so he will make a good impression. Create a visual schedule to be placed in the bathroom that charts how often he needs to take care of his personal needs. Many teens with developmental delays are visual learners and get organized once they have a clearer map of social expectations. 2. Role-play the date with your son. By creating a step by step guide for the evening, you are giving him an opportunity to practice and improve on limited social skills. The advantage of practicing with your son is that the information you share with him will be more appropriate and accurate then the direction he might receive from watching over-sexualized sitcoms or dramas on TV. 3. All school dances need adult supervision. Arrange with your child’s guidance counselor for you, a close family friend, or a school aide to act as a chaperone for the evening. You are not spying on your child’s first date. Rather, your presence will assure that if something does go wrong, you are close enough to interject before there is a major social collision. Undoubtedly, there will be many bumps and bruises along your son’s social journey. And while we certainly can’t nor should we even try to protect from all of life’s hard knocks, it’s o.k. to offer a steadying hand along the way. Teen Love: Interfere or Not?

12 <a href="www.familymagazinegroup.com"> w w w . f a m i l y m a g a z i n e g r o u p . c o m</a> When I was pregnant with my second son, James, I worried whether I’d ever be able to love another child as much as Aidan, my first-born. It was difficult to imagine that my patience, my time—and more importantly, my heart—could expand enough to accommodate another little person. And yet, when James was born, I looked into that perfect, tiny face and it was instantly clear: there was more than enough love to go around. Explaining this to my preschooler was another story. Most young children believe (correctly) they are the center of their parents’ universe. So, when another baby comes along, it’s important to know how to prepare your child for his or her new role as a big brother or sister. For Younger Children: Explain it With Pictures In the months leading up to my due date, our family was lucky to have the support of Aidan’s preschool teacher. She asked me to bring her a collection of family photos: baby pictures of him, pictures of me pregnant, and photos of everyone in our extended family. She put together a laminated book called, “Aidan’s Family,” a simple tale that described his family, his babyhood, and his brother’s upcoming arrival. It ended on a positive note with a picture of Aidan smiling and the caption: “I’m going to be a big brother!” We read the book every night in the weeks leading up to the baby’s arrival. Having the “story” laid out for him demystified this upcoming Make Room for Baby: Welcoming a Sibling Will any of you ever adjust? Yes!

For Older Children: Talk it Out If your child is older, talking about their new role can help prepare you both. Ask your child how he or she feels about becoming a big brother or sister. Explore the good things (having someone to play with) as well as the challenges (not getting as much time with mom, especially when the baby is little). At bedtime, tell your child stories about life after baby’s arrival. Sometimes, just placing “Once Upon a Time” in front of the description of an upcoming real-life scenario can draw your child in much better than a simple discussion. Encourage Competence The greatest source of anxiety for any child often comes from not having a clear idea of what is expected of her. With a baby in the house, your child may feel insecure and confused about how she fits into this new dynamic. Tell her about becoming an important helper. Make a list of activities in which she can play an active role—diapering, feeding, dressing (and try to accept the requisite messiness of having your child “help” you). Other ideas: entertaining baby with toys, pushing the stroller (with mom), teaching an older baby how to clap, playing peekaboo, doing “tummy- time” with baby, blowing bubbles and counting toes and fingers. Make Special Time When all is said and done, your older child wants nothing more than to spend time alone with you. While this may seem like an impossible task, take a few minutes each day for “mommy time.” Do something very simple—read a book, play a game of “tickle monster,” or cuddle together. Giving your child this kind of undivided attention—even for a few minutes—will show him there is room enough for all of you.

There are two common requests I hear from parents on the issue of teen dating and sex: First, “Can you please tell me at what age (preferably close to 30) my child should be allowed to date?” Second, “How should I talk to my child about sex?” First things first: There is no prescribed age at which a child is ready for dating and sexuality. Children mature into sexual and dating curiosity at a variety of ages; girls typically between ages 9-14, boys a little bit later. As to the second question, talking to teens about sex and dating ideally starts when they are children. From the time they are born, children are entitled to know about their bodies, including proper names for genitals, and that they have the right to physical and emotional boundaries to protect them from harm. They also benefit from having healthy relationship role models, such as parents or caregivers. These experiences become examples for what they should expect in their own relationships. As children approach adolescence, their curiosity leads them to more explicit questions. You, as the parent, are the best guide. While dating and sex may be two very separate things, talking about them together helps define sex as a broader experience that encompasses both physical and emotional intimacy and building trust. Here are some guidelines for a dialogue with your children. Warning: these may elicit an “Ew-mom!” or “Dad!!!!” response from your child (and likely from you, too). That’s ok. Proceed with care and respect. Give your child a context for these conversations. Explain that although it may be uncomfortable to discuss sex and dating, it’s your job as parent to make sure your Mom, Can I Borrow the Car and a Condom?

F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 0 15 child is prepared with this information. Your child may not be ready to talk, but you are asking him/her to listen. Be willing to listen and speak non-judgmentally. If your child approaches you with questions or thoughts, take a deep breath and listen without judgment or criticism so your child doesn’t feel shut down. This is particularly important with matters of sexual orientation. Research shows that children rejected by their families for their sexual orientation are more likely to struggle with depression, drug abuse and suicide. Using descriptive language and “I-statements” is a more effective way to be heard. For example, your child is more likely to listen if you say “I’m concerned your choices might make you unsafe. Let’s talk about ways to make sure you’re protected” as opposed to “What in the world were you thinking? You’re grounded and we’re not discussing this further!” Talk about safety. Asking kids what they know about safer sex and dating practices is a good conversation starter. Find out what they’re learning in school. Build on their knowledge. Educate yourself and learn their language. While you don’t have to have all the answers, and you probably won’t, having some trusted sources will help your children get the information they need. See resources below. Ask them how their peers talk about dating. Hooking up? Hanging out? Kick back? Hit it and Quit It? This can be a light-hearted way into conversation and way for you to keep your ears perked to your child’s vernacular. Media Myths and Misleads. Use movies, TV shows and music as cues to your children’s ideas about sex and dating. Ask questions about the relationships depicted on TV. Debunk myths and correct misinformation that you notice in storylines.

Statistically speaking, they will suc- ceed. It’s only a matter of time. Perhaps with a little “heads up” we might make those statistics lean a little more in your favor. We live in an age where we truly want to believe that there is a miracle pill, cream or product out there that will aid us in our battle with the unjust hand that life has dealt us. Yellow teeth? A few extra pounds? Receding hairline? Back pain? Diabetes? Cancer? Unemployment? Performance issues in the bedroom? Go ahead and look it up on the Internet. You’ll find the cure. As if that wasn’t too good to be true, there is a merchant out there that wants you to try their product for “free!” You just need to give them your credit card number so that they can charge you a couple of bucks for shipping. What do you have to lose? There you go. They have you right where they want you. Where there is “desire” you will find deception. I would hate to pull back the curtain on these mer- chants and show you how these they operate, but I will. I will do this because you have better things to do than wrestle with merchants that use word play to make a sale that they never earned. You visit a site that offers to send you a “free” trial of their product. You just pay for shipping. You enter your credit card number, and the merchant sends you the “free” trial of their product. Here’s the catch. It’s not a free sample. It’s a “free” trial. What’s the difference? A free sample is when you go to an ice cream parlor and ask to try the peanut butter and jelly ice cream. Like it? You order a cone. A free trial is when you test drive a car. At the end of the trial, you are expected to return the car. Otherwise you will be charged for the car. And perhaps grand theft auto. As an added bonus, the merchant that offered you a “free” trial has gone ahead and given your name, address, and credit card number to a few of their clos- est friends. Why? Because you told them they could. You don’t remember this part of the deal? Well, why would you? You clicked the “submit” button without reading the merchant’s terms of service. This, my friends, is the scheme that you will fall for this year. I only tell you this because I have statistics on my side.

Ethan was shy, guarded and suspicious. Morgan was outgoing, playful and trusting. The fact that they were young statistically increased my chances of forging a healthy relationship with them. Josh and I took it slow. We didn’t kiss in front of them and I didn’t sleep over. I imagined that they were getting an earful about me; about how I was the reason that Daddy wasn’t living at home anymore. I knew I was the enemy going in. One Friday night when I came over, I checked on them and then backed away. I let them come to me when they were ready. It never took longer than a half hour for them to find me. I was at the kitchen table where I had taken out crayons, markers, paper and stickers. I had never met a kid that didn’t like stickers. Soon they appeared at the table and asked what I was doing. “I’m working on an art project,” I said, “would you like to help me?” Morgan climbed into the chair next to me and stood on her knees. Ethan said he didn’t like art projects but stayed next to the table and watched us. Morgan and I drew rainbows and flowers. Ethan stood on the top of his toes a few times to see what the fuss was about. “Pooh!” Morgan squealed. “Yes, that’s Winnie the Pooh,” I said pointing to a sheet of stickers. I had done my homework and knew what they liked. Ethan was still watching us. He was getting tired of standing and was leaning his silky brown head on the table. “Ethan, I really need your help,” I said. His head popped up. “Is this a triceratops or a stegosaurus?” I asked pointing at a sheet of dinosaur stickers. His face lit up. “That’s a triceratops,” he said. “So this is a stegosaurus?” I asked pointing to tyrannosaurus. “Noooo, that’s a tyrannosaurus,” he said looking at me like I was some kind of idiot. I patted the seat next to me and asked another question. He slid into the chair and became very chatty. He told me the name of each dinosaur before placing it on a sheet of paper. We continued our discussion over a cheese pizza. The phone rang. It was their mother. Josh handed the phone to Ethan. His tone was upbeat at first, “Hi Mommy! I’m doing stickers with Lisa.” It finished on a lower, defeated note as he said good-bye, “Yeah, love you too, bye.” His posture changed. He said he was done with the art project and curled up on the couch next to his father. His internal war had begun; liking me meant betraying his mother. Morgan left the table. She climbed into Josh’s lap and laid her curly blonde head against his chest. My stomach twisted into a knot. I pushed my plate of pizza to the side and cleaned up the art supplies. And so it began: my feeling of being an outsider. It’s a feeling that stayed with me for years even after I became their stepmother. It was a knowing that at any moment there could be a shift, a sudden change of attitude, from gut laughter to needing to go home to mommy. The feeling that it was them and me, not us. Morgan was too young to be aware of maternal allegiance but it didn’t take long for her to learn. A couple years later, I was finally given clearance to come to Morgan’s birthday party. When I told Morgan, her smile disappeared. “But what about my mom?” she asked with her brow raised. “Your mom said it’s okay,” I said trying to reassure her. She sat with my response for a few seconds then got very erect, threw her hands on her hips and queried, “Are you sure?” She wasn’t quite five but she was still very clear who the enemy was.

F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 0 17 Children age 1 to 6 should have no more than 4 to 6 ounces per day; children 7 to 18 years no more than 8 to 12 ounces per day. Most parents wouldn’t give their child a glass of soda, much less a baby bottle filled with it. But many parents give their young children juice every day, despite reports that juice is not much different than soda. A growing body of evidence links sweet drinks, even 100 percent, all-natural, no-sugar-added juice, to a host of child health concerns from obesity to diabetes to tooth decay. Concerned about these issues, in 2001 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued guidelines saying fruit juice should not be given to children younger than 6 months. Children age 1 to 6 should have no more than 4 to 6 ounces per day; children 7 to 18 years no more than 8 to 12 ounces per day. Despite these guidelines, 60 percent of one-year-olds drink an average of 11 ounces of day juice a day, two to three times more than recommended. There is a misconception among parents that fruit juice offers good nutrition, or is a replacement for whole fruit. But according to the AAP, “Fruit juice offers no nutritional benefits over whole fruit.” Furthermore, “excessive juice consumption may be associated with diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal distention, and tooth decay.” When looking at juice and soda Dr. David Ludwig, an expert on pediatric obesity at Children’s Hospital Boston says, “All of these beverages are largely the same. They are 100 percent sugar.” Health and Nutrition 10 Reasons Your Child Shouldn’t Drink Juice b y D r .

18 <a href="www.familymagazinegroup.com"> w w w . f a m i l y m a g a z i n e g r o u p . c o m</a> If those aren’t good enough reasons to lay off the juice, consider these: 1. Obesity Risk A 1997 study of preschool children who drank at least 12 ounces of juice per day were three and a half times more likely to exceed the 90th percentile for body mass index (BMI) qualifying them as overweight or obese. Each extra glass of juice per day equated to one extra pound of weight gain per year. 2. Pesticides According to a report issued by The Environmental Working Group, some apples are so toxic that just one bite can deliver an unsafe dose of OPs (organophosphate insecticides) to a child under five. Conventional juice is no different. A two-year old child drinking non-organic apple juice may be exposed to as many as eighty different pesticides. 3. High in calories and sugar One serving of juice contains the sugar from several pieces of fruit. A glass of apple juice has the fructose of six apples but none of the fiber and very little of the nutritional value. And, ounce for ounce, it contains more calories than soda. 4. Poor nutrition Juice can replace more nutrient-dense foods in a child’s diet, making children less likely to get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals. In very young children, too much juice cuts the appetite for nutritionally superior breast milk or formula. In older children it often supplements other foods, adding hundreds of excess calories. 5. Correlations to heart disease and type 2 Diabetes According to a Los Angeles Times article entitled Nutrition Experts See Juice Glass as half Empty, UC Davis scientist Kimber Stanhope reports that the high levels of fructose found in juice (and soda) increases risk for heart disease and type 2 Diabetes because it is converted into fat by the liver more readily than glucose. 6. Cavities Tooth decay in young children’s baby teeth is on the rise and it is believed that the increased consumption of fruit juices is one of the culprits. According to Dr. Bruce Dye of the National Center for Health Statistics, “When you have more decay in your baby teeth, there’s a greater likelihood you’ll have decay in your adult teeth.” 7. Develops preference for sweeter foods Children who drink sweet beverages like juice develop lifelong preferences for sweeter foods. A 2004 Dutch study found that children preferred sweeter drinks after consuming a sugary drink for eight days. They also drank more of the drink as they acclimated to the sweet taste. 8. Prevents the body from regulating itself Calories consumed in liquid form don’t create the same feeling of satiation as those eaten in foods, which means those liquid calories aren’t compensated for by eating less food. 9. Prevents kids from eating the real thing Many parents give their children juice because they are not eating enough whole fruit. Unfortunately, giving juice does not give her the nutrients she needs, and it makes her less likely to eat fruit in the future. Studies show that it can take as many as 15 exposures to a new food before a child accepts it. Most parents are not that patient. In a large-scale study, researchers found that approximately 25 percent of parents gave up on a new food after only one or two tries and only six percent were willing to continue to try serving the food six to ten times. The more times children are exposed to a new food (yes, fruits and vegetables!) the more likely they are to try it and like it. 10. Develops bad habits. The first three to five years set the stage for future eating habits. Teaching children to drink their calories, instead of eating them in nutrition dense foods makes it likely they will continue to do so into adulthood. It also makes it more likely the juice will be replaced by another sweetened drink like soda. Conversely, kids who grow up drinking water become water drinkers throughout life. According to Dr. William Dietz, with the division of nutrition and physical activity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Parents need to be firm—thirst is satisfied with water, hunger with solid foods. Caloric beverages can blur that line.”

B y L A U R A D I A M O N D Dr. Michelle Leclaire O’Neill, Ph.D., R.N., is no stranger to pregnancy. As a mother of three and founder and director of the Mind Body Center in Pacific Palisades, Dr. O’Neill has treated infertility, pregnancy, pre-term labor, and postpartum depression using her Leclaire Hypnobirthing Method and Mind Body Fertility program, which she developed and teaches at various locales. But when she was asked to work pro bono with a pregnant teenager just out of prison, she began a journey that would lead to the creation of a life-saving program, Smart Beginnings/ Easy Preventions. Dr. O’Neill realized that she could help end the cycle of poverty, teenage pregnancy and abuse if she could reach pregnant teenagers before they gave birth. She posted a flyer at Charter High School, New Village for Pregnant and Parenting Teens (founded by Crossroads and New Roads founder Paul Cummins), and enrolled the first group of ten pregnant teenagers to her program. These teenage mothers were taught how to ensure healthy pregnancies and births, and are taught parenting skills until their child’s fifth birthday. The teenagers begin with a three- day retreat, then attend monthly full-day meetings consisting of group therapy and classes in lactation, infant development, dealing with a crying baby, reading readiness, birth control to prevent future unwanted pregnancies, anger management, and job seeking skills. In addition to these classes, Dr. O’Neill attributes the program’s success to its job placement element, and providing transportation to the meetings so teens arrive safely and on time. The program has been successful at unlocking the potential of the mothers and children they serve. Participants have healthy, full term pregnancies and nurse for over a year. They have graduated from high school and attend community college. Dr. O’Neill believes the first group of ten mothers could not have continued without funding from the Riordan Foundation and the A&A Foundation, and that her program can be replicated all over the country, with financial support from additional donors. Little by little, they are achieving their motto: bringing peace to the world, one baby at a time.

F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 0 21 With so much information about camps, sometimes it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. Family Magazine provides the following list of myths vs. facts to help you answer the all-important question, “What will my kids do this summer?” Myth: “A specialty camp – rather than a traditional camp – is the best place for my child.” Fact: Specialty sports camps focus on teaching technical skills, not necessarily life skills. A child goes to this type of program to work on the skills for one sport (or for the art form, or for drama, etc.), rather than to be part of a community found in a traditional camp. Parents should not presume a specialty camp will necessarily provide counselors to take care of a homesick child. The coaches and instructors are there to teach skills, not to help your child to make a friend. In this case, it may be best for younger kids to attend these programs with a friend. Myth: “Only I know what is best for my child.” Fact: It is tempting to want to re-create our own camp experience for our child. While the saying “Mother knows best” is true in most circumstances, involve your child when choosing a camp. You may think your daughter wants to be at a camp that specializes in art and drama, but maybe she wants to improve her tennis game. Ask: do you want to build on your existing strengths and interests or try something new? Be open to the unexpected! Myth: “If I send my child to camp with a friend, it will make her more comfortable.” Fact: A friend can act as a barrier to your child’s making new friends. Your child may choose activities based on his friends’ interests, rather than his own. It is important to weigh the comfort of going with a friend with the drawbacks. If going with a friend is the only way your child will try camp, it might be worth it. But prepare your child with possible scenarios and provide him with problem-solving strategies. Choosing a Camp: Myths vs. Facts b y J I L L L E V I N Kids need a chance to feel homesick and get through it with the help of counselors and individual coping mechanisms to feel successful about a camp experience.

A two to four week introductory session allows the child to be immersed in the daily routine of a new and safe place, build friendships that will carry over until the next summer, and feel the success of doing something totally on their own. When the time comes for choosing a camp, get the facts so you can get the right fit for your child. Once you have done this, the investment will provide you and your child with lifetime rewards.

2 6 <a href="www.familymagazinegroup.com"> w w w . f a m i l y m a g a z i n e g r o u p . c o m</a> Jackie Chan’s new movie, The Spy Next Door, is an endearing film about an undercover international spy who wants to give up his successful career in espionage, to marry his next-door neighbor/girlfriend. In order to walk down the aisle, he must accomplish his most difficult mission: winning over her three children. I met Jackie before the premiere of his latest movie and sat down to discuss his past, present and future. JW: I understand that not only are you a movie star, but a humanitarian too. What are some of your causes? JC: With my Dragon’s Heart Foundation, I have built 24 new schools in China and provided backpacks filled with supplies for the students. As a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, I promote the awareness of children’s rights. I also have a Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation where I offer scholarships and help to Hong Kong’s young people. JW: What were the easiest and most difficult things about making The Spy Next Door? JC: The stunts and choreography were easy. Speaking English was very difficult. The three talented children I worked with spoke so fast. You will see how my tongue was tied a lot in the bloopers at the end of the movie. JW: You’re the king of action movies, with over 100 movies made to date. Is it true you were once a stuntman for Bruce Lee over thirty years ago? JC: Yes. I enjoy action and fighting movies, but not violence. No blood and gore. I like to fight with a smile on my face. JW: As a martial arts expert I’ve heard you believe martial arts is about respect. What does that mean? JC: If you knock someone down, you stop the fight and help the person up. If they are ok, then you can fight some more. You don’t want to fight someone when they are weaker than you. JW: You state that you feel it is your responsibility to educate the audience in a positive light. Can you explain? JC: No more drinking and smoking in movies. That is not responsible. If I have to throw trash down, I throw it in a trashcan. There is no bad language in this film. JW: What movies have you most enjoyed working on? JC: Every movie is different. I feel so lucky to have the most fun job in the world, making movies. I work on new scripts, travel to beautiful places and work with great people like George Lopez, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Amber Valletta [co-stars in The Spy Next Door]. JW: What is next for Jackie Chan? JC: I’m finishing my tour of The Spy Next Door in the states and then flying back to Hong Kong to start filming a new movie. I hope to come back to the US to film another comedy-action film. We hope he comes back soon too. Jill Weinlein is an award winning writer and mother of two.

F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 0 2 9 Last weekend we headed to San Diego and experienced the Seduce Us Package at Se San Diego Hotel. The stress of our daily lives and our children was weighing us down. We needed to get away and restore ourselves with an adult-only retreat. Hoping we were making the right decision, we canceled our weekend plans, cleared our schedules and called in the grandparents. Everything set, we headed south. As we entered the hotel, I could not help but relax and enjoy its beauty. Our accommodations radiated serenity. We were welcomed with a fresh fruit basket and bottled water, just what we needed before exploring the city. After exploring the metropolitan neighborhood, we retreated to our room and found an assortment of chocolate covered strawberries, the perfect end to a wonderful day in San Diego. The following morning we were pampered with breakfast in bed. What a treat! After our leisurely meal we headed for a swim at the hotel’s rooftop pool, followed by a workout in their immaculate gym. We then experienced one of the ultimate features of the Seduce Us package: the couple’s massage, located in Se Spa’s Studio Sutra. As we entered the Spa, we were offered their welcome ritual, Se San Diego hotel Soma—a shot of organic cucumber infused vodka mixed with honey and pomegranate. Following the ritual I experienced one of the best massages of my life. This massage combined traditional Swedish massage technique, assisted stretching, hot towels to warm each limb and a lavender eye mask. I felt myself drooling throughout the hour. After the massage, our technicians led us to a private double steam and rain shower, just steps from our plush side-by-side massage beds. The fairytale weekend continued as we enjoyed dinner in the privacy of our own room. After dinner we attended a musical at the charming La Jolla Playhouse. Sunday greeted us with a stroll through San Diego’s Gaslamp district and a visit to one of the city’s beautiful beaches. Later, as we packed our bags and loaded the car, I realized the importance of a romantic weekend getaway. KATHARINE EMMER writes about travel for L.A. Family Magazine.
