Mother Nature’s Consolation Prize
Disappointed over a lackluster monsoon season? According to local meteorologist Shelley Sakala, Mother Nature is about to make amends. WELL, THAT was lame. This had to be one of the most disappointing monsoons I can remember. Where were the torrential rains? Where were the cars floating down the freeway? Where were all the stupid motorists waiting for a helicopter rescue because they thought they could cross that flooded-out wash in an ’89 Corolla? As weather events go, this one was pretty uneventful. We put up with all that oppressive heat, day after day, for barely enough rain to get our cars dirty. As a Phoenician and a weather geek I feel cheated. I haven’t been this let down since Dirty Dancing 2:

Havana Nights. And for those of us who feel that Mother Nature owes us big-time, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has some news to report: Mother Nature is about to make amends. It looks like she’ll be babysitting her little friend for a while: El Niño. You may recall hearing that name ad nauseam back in 1998 when El Niño hit the world hard with flooding, mudslides, wildfires, and droughts. From Southern California to Mexico, Africa to South America, Asia to Australia…everyone got a little taste. And it looks like things are
Average temperature: 64° Average high temperature: 76° Average low temperature: 53° Warmest ever: 96° Coldest ever: 35° Average precipitation: .65 inches
shaping up for El Niño’s return. If you’ve been following the weather headlines (everyone follows weather headlines, right?), weather organizations around the world have been predicting El Nino’s return with no shortage of drama: JUNE 25, 2015 “The 2015 El Niño continues to strengthen, could become one of the strongest ever recorded” JULY 9, 2015 “The strongest El Niño on record may be brewing in the Pacific” SEPTEMBER 22, 2015 “British Columbia coast should brace for ‘monster’ El Niño year”

IF IT’S NOVEMBER, then it’s time for the Schwab Cup Championship. It’s this time of year when the Champions Tour counts up the year’s wins and invites the top 30 players over the age of 50 to compete for the Schwab Cup. I love attending the Schwab Cup because even on the typically busy days, the crowds are nothing like what we see at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. This year, the event is back in north

A Gracious Nature
Child therapist Natasha Daniels suggests ways to teach your children how to be thankful. WE TEACH OUR children how to read and write, but often growing our children’s emotional intelligence isn’t on our radar. Some children are naturally full of gratitude, while others need a little extra help in this area. Thanksgiving season is a perfect time to start teaching your children how to be thankful. I was never a fan of Thanksgiving growing up. It seemed like a whole bunch of eating to me. So, as a parent myself, I’ve vowed to give the holiday a new twist. At my house, it’s a time for us to touch up on our ability to be thankful. Teaching your children how to be grateful is a year-round endeavor, but this is a great month to start! Here are some pointers on how to begin:
Have a gratitude tree Some children take for granted what they have and what they are given. Having a gratitude tree can help the whole family identify what things they are grateful for in their lives. You can be as fancy or as simplistic as you want with this project. I’m big on short cuts, so I buy some branches with lights already on them and put them in a vase. You can make leaves or buy foam leaves and have the whole family write what they are grateful for on the leaves. As the month of November progresses, so do the grateful leaves.
32 || 85085MAGAZINE.com || NOVEMBER 2015
Lead by example The biggest learning comes from what our children see, not by what we say. If you want to teach them gratitude, show gratitude yourself. My husband always says “thank you” when I cook a family meal, even if the recipe is a complete flop! When he’s not home, I’m surprised to see that my children still tell me “thank you.” They have learned the value of appreciation from watching their dad.
Have your children earn privileges I would have loved to have been raised in this generation! With iPads, parties at bounce places, and a zillion after school activities to choose from, our children are surrounded with constant stimulation and excitement. Unfortunately, if this is all you have ever known, you might feel entitled to have those privileges. Teach your children the difference between a want and a need. One way to help your children appreciate what they are given is to have them earn the things that are wants, not needs.
Show your children that you give back A big part of developing thankfulness is recognizing that some people do not have the same good fortune as you. By helping
