Health & Nutritional Facts

Proper nutrition promotes the optimal growth and development of children.1Healthy eating helps prevent high cholesterol and high blood pressure and helps reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes.1Healthy eating helps reduce one?s risk for developing obesity, osteoporosis, iron deficiency, and dental caries (cavities).1,2Healthy eating is associated with reduced risk for many diseases, including several of the leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.1Healthy eating in childhood and adolescence is important for proper growth and development and can prevent health problems such as obesity, dental caries, iron deficiency, and osteoporosis.1,2.The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat dairy products for persons aged 2 years and older. The guidelines also recommend that children, adolescents, and adults limit intake of solid fats (major sources of saturated and trans fatty acids), cholesterol, sodium, added sugars, and refined grains.3 Unfortunately, most young people are not following the recommendations set forth in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.3-7

Schools are in a unique position to promote healthy eating and help ensure appropriate food and nutrient intake among students. Schools provide students with opportunities to consume an array of foods and beverages throughout the school day and enable students to learn about and practice healthy eating behaviors. For example, as a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages, schools can provide students access to safe, free drinking water.Schools should ensure that only nutritious and appealing foods and beverages are provided in school cafeterias, vending machines, snack bars, school stores, and other venues that offer food and beverages to students. In addition, nutrition education should be part of a comprehensive school health education curriculum.

Money Management

5 Basic Money Management Lessons f or Teens 1. Teach Them Key Terms "Since most kids aren't receiving proper financial education, many of them don't understand the basic meaning of many critical financial terms," says Murset.

"Terms like credit, debit, APR [annual percentage rate], payday loans, national deb, and 401(k) are all things that kids should know before they apply for their first job. The important lesson here is that once kids have an understanding about what these words mean, then they can begin to apply them to real-life settings."

2. Creat e a Visual Savings Pl an Label three empty containers "gifts and charity," "savings" and "spendable money," recommends Bill Demaree, president and founder of Demaree Retirement Services in Indianapolis. With your teenagers, decide what percentage of the weekly allowance will go into each one so they can see the containers filling up with money. When the containers are full, he suggests handling each one differently.

"Have them take the 'gifts and charity' can and figure out what organization they are going to give this to -- say, their local church or their favorite charity," he says. "If it's local, have them go to the facility and donate the money in person, so they have a sense of accomplishment and better understand how their hard work went to benefit a greater good."

Similarly, Demaree recommends physically going to the bank with the savings container each month with your teens so they can see the account grow firsthand.

"The 'spendable money' will be the teenager's favorite opportunity," says Demaree. "Let them go to their favorite store and buy the item they've been saving up for, or if it's a higher-ticket item, put the money back in that container and let it grow until it's enough to buy the item."

3. Tal k About Credit

When your child turns 18, this is a good opportunity to start talking to him or her about building credit and the importance of having good credit, says Tyler Tran, founder of Tran Financial in Azusa, California.

Tran recommends that 18-year-olds apply for a credit card after you discuss various card offers and interest rates. You should talk about the importance of building a good credit profile by paying the balance in full each month.

If you cosign the credit card application, you should monitor the account to make sure the bills are being paid on time.

Murset says parents need to make sure their kids understand the major differences between debit cards and credit cards, including benefits, percentage rates, security issues and liability if the card is used fraudulently.

"Kids see their parents using cards all the time for buying things but rarely see any payments being made," he says. "This can give them a sense that credit cards are just free money that adults get to use. As you explain how credit cards work to your kids, make sure you make it very clear that there is nothing free about credit cards."

4. Show Kids That Work Reaps Rewards Give your kids assigned tasks every day of the week, such as taking out the trash, vacuuming, loading and emptying the dishwasher, washing the dog, mowing the lawn or shoveling snow, suggests Demaree, and determine how much they will get paid for each task or week. Murset says that while kids fully understand the spending part of the money equation, they need help grasping the earning, saving and sharing parts.

"Kids need to be given more structure either in the form of chores around the house or working in the community," he says. "While saving and sharing money may not be the most popular things for kids to do with money they earn or are given as a present, they are key components to strong financial health as an adult."

5. Let Kids Fail "Let your child make a mistake with their money, spending all of their money on something trivial -- and then it's gone, and they have nothing to show for it," says Tran. "When the new video game comes out that they want and they have wasted their money on something else, it's a good lesson in saving and spending money wisely."

Parents can also share their own stories with their kids about personal financial failures and successes as part of their effort to educate their teens about money management. If you feel your knowledge about money is inadequate, you can reach out for personal finance tips for teens from a variety of sources, such as financial planners, banks and credit unions, and sites such asMint.com and PracticalMoneySkills.com.

My Dress Code for Success

In our society, there are many great opportunities for teen girls. However, there are even MORE qualified teen girls who are ready to step up and claim those opportunities. You may meet the qualifications, but your attire may be the difference between you owning the position or dreaming about it.

An interview or presentation is not the time to dress like ?everybody else?. Adhere to the dress code and dress better than what is expected and never less than what is required.

Keep in mind that dressing to impress does not mean dressing in a manner that commands attention towards your physical attributes. Doing so may ruin your chances for consideration even if you are the best-qualified applicant. A smile is very much a part of your dress. It is the icing on the cake, the WOW! factor. If you have on the perfect outfit, and know all of the right things to say, you will still be half-dressed without your smile.

Please understand the difference between smiling and giggling. Smiling is putting on a pleasant face and retaining your business-like composure. Giggling is putting on a funny face, accompanied by laughter and totally out-of-control body language. A pleasant smile is the acceptable and finishing touch of your dress for success.

When you apply for a position or employment, dress in modest, professional attire.

Modest ? freedom from conceit or vanity; respectability in dress, speech, or conduct.

Stop Cyber Bullying

Facts About Cyber Bullying We all have bullied in some sort of way in our lives. This was one of my major reasons for not desiring to go to school. I had to drag out of the bed for thirteen years to be called names and other things done to me as well. I felt if I mentioned or told the teacher that it would be worse for me. But now you do have someone to report this too besides your parent or teacher. here are some facts and tips which will help you to have a successful life as a teen and put away the cyber bullying for good! Saving t he evidence of t he cyber bul l ying, keep abusive text messages or a screen shot of a web page, for example, and then report them to a trusted adult, such as a family member, teacher, or school counselor. If you don't report incidents, the cyberbully will often become more aggressive.Report ing t hreat s of harm and inappropriate sexual messages to the police. In many cases, the cyberbully's actions can be prosecuted by law.Being rel ent l ess. Cyberbullying is rarely limited to one or two incidents. It's far more likely to be a sustained attack on you over a period of time. So, like the cyberbully, you may have to be relentless and keep reporting each and every bullying incident until it stops. There is no reason for you to ever put up with cyber bullying.Prevent ing communicat ion f rom t he cyberbul l y, by blocking their email address, cell phone number, and deleting them from social media contacts. Report their activities to their internet service provider (ISP) or to any social media or other web sites they use to target you. The cyber bully?s actions may constitute a violation of the website?s terms of service or, depending on the laws in your area, may even warrant criminal charges.

Home Economics

.

Whether it is for a relationship, college campus, or self desiring; every teenager should know how to prepare a meal. Home Economics was one of my courses in high school. I t wasn't my favorite but I tried to do my best.

Later on I wish it could have been the best class in my portfolio. I got married at the age of 21 and I became a wife at an early age.

Although my grandmother taught us many of her skills; it was different when you had to put what you have learned into reality. So I began with the simple dishes first and began to grow and develop into the more complex meals such as casseroles and making home-made items.

These will be major keys to success a grown up. This is one of key components with training girls how to be women in the kitchen!

Community Outreach is another tool we implement with the girls to bring more hands on experience of helping those in their own local community. This will give the girls a sense of responsibility and caring all at the same time.
