Families: make the most of festival season Summer festival season tends to be family-friendly, and parents can take certain steps to ensure the coming festival season is even more enjoyable.

Summer is synonymous with many

things, including festivals. Music fans love the festival circuit because it gives them a chance to see many of their favorite musicians in a single place while simultaneously enjoying the great outdoors. Foodies enjoy festival season because they have the opportunity to try a variety of new foods in a single day or weekend without having to travel far and wide.

Festival season also tends to be family-friendly, providing families with numerous chances to spend quality time together. Festival season is even more enjoyable when parents take the time to plan their visits so their Saturday or Sunday afternoons at festivals go as smoothly as possible.

•Do your homework. Festivals tend to offer an array of entertainment and cuisine, and that can be a lot to digest all at once. Parents can ensure they get everything they want out of a festival by studying the festival schedule and offerings ahead of time rather than arriving and trying to take in everything at once.

•Bring supplies. Conditions can be un-

pleasant during summer festival season, when rising temperatures and long lines can try families’ patience. Bring enough sunscreen to ensure no one gets sunburned, and explore the festival guidelines in advance to determine what you can bring onto the festival grounds. If it’s permissable to bring water onto the grounds, bring enough to keep everyone hydrated. In addition, bring hats and sunglasses as well as bug spray to keep potentially pesky insects at bay.

•Explore transportation options. Festivals can attract considerable crowds, and families who want to avoid being stuck in traffic should explore their options with regard to getting to and from the festivals they plan to visit. Use public transportation where available.

Public transportation can help families avoid potentially costly parking fees and relieve parents of the stress of navigating traffic jams. If public transportation is not available, look for free or low-cost parking lots in the vicinity of the festival.

•Consider the viability of strollers.

Parents who typically transport their tots in strollers may want to reconsider taking strollers to summer festivals.

Large crowds can be difficult to negotiate with strollers in tow, and parents may find strollers more frustrating than functional at popular festivals. If you

must bring a stroller, leave the large jogging stroller at home in favor of a compact stroller that’s comfortable for kids and easy to push through crowds.

How youngsters can go green Children often aspire to emulate their parents.

Young boys who see their fathers shaving might reach for dad’s shaving cream, while young girls may find their way into mom’s closet in an effort to dress up like their mothers.

Kids’ curiosity may be similarly piqued when

they see their parents going green. Parents who reduce, reuse and recycle are setting positive examples for their kids, who may inquire about the ways they can follow suit.

While going green might not seem like the most kid-friendly activity, there are myriad ways for parents to involve children

in their efforts to live ecofriendly lifestyles. • Donate clothing and toys. Children outgrow their clothing pretty quickly. Rather than discarding items kids can no longer wear, parents can take tots along to donation centers or thrift stores to show them how their clothes can be reused. Use this as an opportunity to teach kids how h donating or recycling old o items cuts down on the need to use natural t resources to create new r items. i Do the same with toys, t which kids tend to outgrow o almost as quickly l as their clothing. • Bike to school. Staya at-home parents, telecomm muters or those who have t time to escort their child dren to and from school

can bike to school with their children. Teach them how biking in lieu of driving helps to conserve fuel and how such conservation benefits the planet.

If biking is not an option due to weather or distance, parents can organize carpools, teaching kids how traveling together instead of individually helps to conserve fuel. • Avoid plastic water bottles. Plastic water bottles might seem more convenient because they don’t need to be washed after using them, but the environmental organization Clean Up Australia notes that plastic bottles, many of which are derived from crude oil, generate enormous amounts of waste that ultimately end up in landfills. In addition, the transportation of such bottles from factories to store shelves retoys Involving your child when donating used clothes and toys, e exercising, and avoiding plastics with limited use (like bags a waterbottles) can help instill environmental values. and q quires the burning of sign cant amounts of fossil nifi f fuels.

Y Young children who love t read can borrow books to f from the library rather t than asking mom and d to purchase their own dad c copies at the bookstore.

E Explain how borrowing c cuts down on the need for p paper, which helps pres serve forests and reduce w waste. • Spend more time in t great outdoors. Many the

parents want their children to spend more time outdoors and less time on the couch playing video games or watching television. Parents can make an effort to spend more time outdoors with their children engaging in fun activities like hiking, camping or fishing. Such excursions can instill a love and appreciation for nature in youngsters, and that love can compel them to a lifetime of protecting the planet and conserving its resources.

Kids who want to follow their parents’ example and go green can do so in various ways, many of which are as fun as they are eco-friendly.

Teaching kids water safety, how to swim Swimming is a popular activity once temperatures heat up. Millions of people flock to beaches to dip their toes in the water, and scores more spend afternoons exploring the depths of backyard pools.

Upon being introduced to the water, younger children may be somewhat apprehensive, as swimming in pools or oceans can be intimidating to youngsters. Parents should exercise extreme caution when teaching kids to swim, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that more than one in five fatal drowning victims are children under the age of 14.

Although swimming can be dangerous, experts in pediatric and adolescent medicine affirm that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning considerably.

Introduce children to water at an early age so they can quickly grow acclimated to water.

Children whose parents swim may be eager to join mom and dad in the pool. The following are some tips for parents as they start to develop a plan to teach their kids to swim. • Wait until the child is developmentally ready. The Ameri-

can Association of Pediatrics recommends that parents wait until after a child’s fourth birthday to teach them how to swim.

This is when children have developed enough to understand commands and have the motor skils required for swimming. At

this point, parents can register children for swimming lessons with trained instructors. • Introduce playing in the water early on. Parents should make sure their children grow accustomed to playing in the water. Many kids start to like the water around the time they become toddlers, when bathing introduces them to splashing and bobbing toys. Use these opportunities to take your child into the water, so he or she acclimates to feeling the water on his or her body and face. Kids can sit with adults on pool steps or retrieve toys from within reach. An adult always should be nearby. • Wait before submerging kids. The American Red Cross says to wait until a child is around age three before submerging him or her under the water. Young kids can swallow a lot of water, which can

be dangerous. Sputtering water also may turn a child off to swimming completely. • Begin in calm water. The open ocean can be daunting, even to adults. So it might be better to begin swimming lessons in a calm body of water, such as a lake or pool. • Invest in formal swimming lessons. Parental perceptions and anxieties may interfere with parents’ abilities to properly teach their children how to swim. Therefore, hire thirdparty professional instructors to teach kids to swim. The Red Cross can put you in touch with certified swimming instructors who also are knowledgeable in first aid.

As children become more confident in the water, they can practice swimming strokes and submerging themselves for underwater swimming.

Entertaining ways to prevent summer learning loss Summer vacation presents an opportunity for students to enjoy an extended break from the classroom. While this respite from routine may be a welcome change to youngsters, teachers frequently lament that valuable educational lessons seem to be forgotten each summer.

Educators then face tougher hurdles when students return to school in the fall.

Such a phenomenon is dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer learning loss,â&#x20AC;? but it can occur during any extended break from school.

Scholars have realized for some time that studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rate of academic development declines during summer vacation.

Oxford Learning, a tutoring and education training group, offers these eyeopening statistics. â&#x20AC;˘ Over the summer, students tend to lose 2.6 months of math skills and two months of reading skills. â&#x20AC;˘ Summer learning loss can be seen in students as young as six. â&#x20AC;˘ It can take up to two months from the first day of school to get studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brain development back on course.

Summer learning loss, sometimes called â&#x20AC;&#x153;brain drain,â&#x20AC;? can be prevented.

Proponents of year-round schooling at The National Association for YearRound Education recommend a more balanced school year, where summer vacation lasts only 30 days and other school breaks are lengthened. In this scenario, the school year would still last about 180 days, but without the lengthy breaks.

Parents may prefer the status quo, and those who do can take several steps to prevent summer learning loss from affecting their children. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage more reading. Schools recommend summer reading lists, but students should also learn to read for pleasure. Research from the National Literary Trust indicates reading for pleasure can improve reading attainment and writing, as well as oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general knowledge. Children can bring books to the beach that they can read between frolicking sessions in the waves. â&#x20AC;˘ Enjoy family game nights. Games can be customized to highlight certain

skills that require reinforcement. For example, math-centered games that require counting or addition can strengthen generalized math skills. Problemsolving board games may help children become better critical thinkers. â&#x20AC;˘ Make vacations educational. Add travel to historical sites or other places of interest to help history come alive.

When visiting new towns and cities, read the placards that explain important moments in history that took place in each town or city, making sure to include some thought-provoking areas of interest on your itinerary. â&#x20AC;˘ Look for science moments. Trips to the seaside, parks and much more present myriad opportunities to learn about science. Children can stage their own experiments with items they find in nature, such as learning about tides, wind and water flow by sailing homemade boats. â&#x20AC;˘ Teach kids through daily tasks.

Barbecuing, making a cake, building a raised garden bed, seeding the lawn - each of these moments present educational opportunities for parents who

want to keep their kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds sharp during summer.

Children need not fall victim to summer learning loss when their days are filled with educational but fun activities.

Top tips for fun, safe days at the beach Millions of people visit the beach each summer.

For some people, there is no better place than the beach, where they can listen to the waves crash on the shore and smell the briny air.

The United States Lifesaving Association routinely compiles statistics on beach attendance, watercraft use and other recreational information, estimating that 367,231,142 people took to beaches across the country in 2015, the most recent reporting year. Cool coastal temps and refreshing oceans and lakes make the beach an ideal place to survive the heat.

While a trip to the beach has the makings of a great day, a few tips can help make these sun- and sand-

filled days even better.

PROTECT ELECTRONICS Sand and surf can be calming, but not if your newest mobile phone gets doused with the incoming tide. For those bringing their phones or tablets along, steps to protect the gadgets can make the day even more calming. A zipseal plastic bag can do the trick, and you can still access the screen through the plastic. If you plan to spend time on a boat, you may want to invest in waterproof, floating pouches.

KEEP CLEAN Sand gets everywhere at the beach, so it can be a challenge to remain clean.

Invest in a beach blanket where the sand falls through like a sieve, such

HIDE YOUR MONEY Leaving your money or belongings out in the open may entice thieves. Camouflage items of value by storing them in an empty sunscreen bottle nestled in a beach bag.

as the Quicksand Mat from CGear. Pack baby powder in your beach bag, which will help loosen sand from kids’ bodies before they get back in the car. And while at the beach, use hand-decorated aluminum cans as drink cozies to keep condensing beverage bottles from becoming caked with sand.

TIME BEAUTY REGIMENS RIGHT Shaving legs or underarms right before heading to the beach can result in some painful irritation.

It’s best to shave the night before diving into saltwater or even pool water. If you need a last-minute touch-up, use mineral oil while shaving to help keep irritation to a minimum.

It’s important to apply sunscreen to the skin approximately 15 minutes before heading outdoors so that it has time to absorb, advises the American Academy of Dermatology. If you wait until you get to the beach, you put your skin at risk. Use a self-tanner for bronze skin rather than soaking up the rays.

STAY COOL Purchase or make a vividly patterned tarp/tent to offer a shady respite. This will also help the family find their way back to your beach spot. Place sandals or flip-flops facedown in the sand or on a blanket to ensure they won’t be scalding after a day at the beach.

Trips to the beach are a summertime tradition.

With a few tips and tricks, the memories can be even better.
