Letter From The Publisher Greetings, 2020 is here! It feels so weird writing a new year and a new decade! January brings new year resolutions. The New Year is a great time to focus on you and your family’s health. One of the things I am trying to focus on is getting out from behind the screens (phone, laptop, tablet), all of us (mom included) and get outside! Check out page 20 for tips to enjoy the outdoors and maybe even start fishing with the help of fishing savy mom, Stephanie Vatalaro who grew up in the Florida Keys. Kids love to be outside and fishing is a fun, easy and affordable hobby for them to learn. “You can’t pour from an empty cup, take care of yourself first”. How many parents are guilty of this? We work so hard to give our children the best that we often neglect ourselves. Check out page 8 for tips on self care and recognizing burnout. At the end of last year this became my focus as not only my mental health but physical health was suffering for the first time in my life I had very high blood pressure due to stress. I prioritized taking some time off for myself. A year later it is far from perfect but I have made some great strides in removing stressors from my life, managing what is on my plate and carving out some quality time for myself. I am also happy to report at my last check up my blood pressure is back to normal as well. So make sure to take care of yourself mamas! Enrollment in many private and charter schools also starts in January. Right now is the perfect time to take a tour and start looking ahead to the next school year. PB Parenting has put together a School Spotlight to help with your many decisions. Check out our listings on page 14. Happy Parenting,

BY SHARI MEDINI This idea of self-care is often tossed around flippantly. You can find endless articles recommending that you take some metime, get a massage, or do some yoga. But self-care (and the lack of it) goes much deeper than that. When self-care is lacking, everything else can feel like it’s falling apart. When you have neglected your own needs for too long, a candlelit bath seems like a bandaid instead of a real solution. So what can we do? Establish Realistic Expectations We tend to be the hardest on ourselves. We think that we need to sleep less, enrich our kids more, cook healthier meals, work harder, be more fit, etc… and we think that we need to do it all with a smile. After all, isn’t that what everyone is doing? We consistently compare our own weaknesses to other people’s strengths while underestimating our own super powers. We consistently see the struggle in others while neglecting our own. We consistently feel like we are falling short, when in reality we are doing a pretty amazing job. All of this is normal, but it doesn’t mean that

we shouldn’t take strides to change things. We should take credit for all of the amazing things that we do and start to simplify our lives as much as we can. No one is capable of doing it all - at least not long term. We can only be everything to everyone for so long until it takes it toll. Recognize the Signs of Burnout My suspicion is that burnout is much more common than we realize. It is also much more serious than we realize. If we are going through life by frantically jumping from one task to another without any time for reflection or creative, we are on the quick path to burnout. Many times we hear about burnout in the workplace, but it can also happen at home. It is possible to experience burnout in various areas of our life. Simple things like packing lunches can start to feel daunting when burnout has set in. So what is burnout? The symptoms of burnout are caused by being in an ongoing state of stress and include: emotional and physical exhaustion, cynicism and detachment, and feelings of

being ineffective or unaccomplished. More detailed symptoms of burnout include: • Feeling drained and tired most of the time • Feeling a sense of dread about what the day has in store for you • Struggling with insomnia • Becoming more forgetful or having trouble staying focused • Physical symptoms such as palpitations, headaches, and others

A weakened immune system Feeling more worried or irritable than usual Increasing feelings of guilt Tending to be more pessimistic than usual Shutting yourself off from others and becoming less social Ignoring tasks and avoiding things you should be doing

For many of us, these probably sound all too familiar. It’s important to remember that burnout occurs on a spectrum. The severity of what we are experiencing can vary, but at any stage it is important to address! These symptoms tend to creep up on us, and we don’t recognize them until they have gotten to the point where it is making it difficult to function on a daily basis. Our goal should be to recognize these symptoms earlier before it gets to such a dark and difficult place! Be Proactive As soon as you start to recognize these


symptoms in yourself, you should begin to take action. We tend to think that we should power through and just buckle down and make things work, but sometimes taking a step back from it all can be the best remedy! Figuring out what you truly need is an important step in this process, but there are no quick-fixes! We need to care for ourselves enough to recognize when we are trying to push ourselves beyond our limits. Working on balance and self-care means that you will be able to be a better parent, partner, and employee so why would you push that to the back-burner? As a good first step, I want you to take the time to write down all of your responsibilities. Every tiny little thing that you keep in your head and manage for yourself, your family, your friends, your community, and your work. Just get it all down on paper. Doing this simple task will help you realize just how much you do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. You will

start to understand why you are feeling overwhelmed. Simply acknowledging the stress, the overwhelm, and the burnout can be therapeutic in and of itself. But don’t let iT stop there. What is most important to you? What has to happen? What do you love doing? Are you making those the priority? Or are they getting lost in the rest of less important noise? You get to be in control of your own life! You get to call the shots and make changes as-needed. Keep recognizing the signs and keep working on how you can avoid full-blown burnout. Because the world needs you functioning at your best! Shari Medini is the co-owner of the parenting website, AdoreThem.com. Adore Them strives to share positive, practical advice and resources to help you find joy in your own parenting journey!

Motivating Preschoolers to Be Active

Why Do Preschoolers Need to Play? Preschoolers can be unstoppable — running, spinning, leaping, and climbing at every opportunity. Their desire to move, move, move makes this a great time to encourage fitness habits that will last.

Kids need to be fit for the same reasons adults do: to improve their health and make sure that their bodies can do what they need them to do. Regular exercise helps kids grow, builds strong muscles and bones, develops important motor skills, and boosts self-esteem. How Can I keep My Preschooler Active? So what should parents and caregivers do? You probably already know what will motivate this age group best: fun.

enjoy simple games, such as catch and tag, playing with plastic bats and balls, dancing, and tumbling. And they still love to play “Duck, Duck, Goose,”“London Bridge,”“I’m a Little Teapot,” or “Simon Says.” Preschoolers are working on skills such as hopping, balancing on one foot, throwing and catching balls, pedaling tricycles, and skipping. When kids learn these basic skills now, it builds confidence and makes it more likely that they’ll continue to be physically active as they grow up. Try for at least 60 minutes of structured (adult-led) physical activity a day.

Free Time A little freedom also can motivate preschoolers to be active. Though some of their physical activity should be structured To keep active time fun, know what and led by a parent or caregiver, it pays to activities are best for your child’s age group let them take the lead sometimes.

preschooler is clearly keeping an eye on how you spend your time, so set a good example by exercising regularly. Your child will pick up on this as something parents do and will naturally want to do it too. Other ways you can encourage physical activity: Limit screen time. Allow no more than 1 to 2 hours per day of quality programming on TVs, tablets, and other devices. Though lots of computer programs are marketed to preschoolers, none are necessary for their development. If you decide to allow computer use, carefully choose the software and the websites your child can visit.

3 Steps to Your First Family Fishing Adventure BY STEPHANIE VATALARO If your kids are anything like mine, keeping them entertained probably feels like Mission: Impossible, especially when it comes to finding new family activities. One of my favorite ways to put a new spin on family time is with a traditional pastime that’s making a comeback — fishing. Growing up in Florida, I’ve always loved the water. Now that I’m a mom, I love sharing the sport with my daughter, Isla. But even if you’re a first-timer, fishing is an easy, kidfriendly activity that you can bond over as a family with just a few beginner steps. Step 1: Find a fishing spot. Going fishing doesn’t mean you have to pack up for a long drive far away from home. Places to fish are closer than you

think, even near the city. Lake Osborne, part of John Prince Park just outside of Lake Worth, is a popular destination for new and experienced anglers alike. You can also find tons of places to fish throughout Florida with an interactive map at www.TakeMeFishing.org. When selecting a family-friendly fishing spot, look for amenities like play areas, easy parking and picnic facilities as well as safe water and boat access. Step 2: Gather your bait and tackle. There are two primary types of bait: natural and artificial. It’s up to you which to use, although beginners often have better luck with natural bait, as it tends to be a better fish attractant. Earthworms are a great choice because they’re easy to put on a hook and don’t require any sophisticated technique to lure a bite. When it comes to gear, simple is best for newbies. To help limit line tangles, choose a kid-friendly starter rod-and-reel combo designed for smaller hands. Some other essentials you’ll need include fishing line, hooks, bobbers, sinkers and bait. Pro tip: To keep kids engaged, bring snacks and games to pull out during downtime.

20 January 2020| PB Parenting |

Step 3: Rig your line and cast. Rigs are the combination of hooks, sinkers, bobbers and other add-ons to your fishing


line. To begin rigging, tie a hook on the end of your line. One easy knot for first-timers is called the improved clinch knot. Then, pinch one or two small split shot sinkers to your main line six to 12 inches from the hook. Finally, clip a circle bobber to the rig three to four feet above the hook. When you’re ready to cast, unlock your line and hold it with your fingers. Then, swing your rod in an arc, letting go of the line at the peak. To reel in a catch, wait for the fish to stop tugging, then point your rod skyward. Begin reeling in your catch, slowly lowering your rod until it reaches a 45-degree angle. Repeat this process as needed. With these simple steps, you’ve already got the basics for a family fishing adventure. Before you hit the water, remember that the most important item an angler can carry is their fishing license. That’s because the conservation programs that take care of our waterways depend on

Now is the time of year when people typically take inventory of their lives and set new goals. Relationships, finances, careers and health are all important aspects that impact overall well-being. For this New Year, consider making your health a top priority.

of moderate aerobic activity a week, but if that’s too challenging then start off with 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there. Every little bit counts. To be successful, your fitness program should become a part of your daily life.

According to the recent America’s Health Rankings Annual Report, the nation’s obesity rate continues to rise, with one in three adults now experiencing obesity. This alarming statistic may have serious health consequences such as diabetes, which now impacts approximately 30 million adults and is the No. 1 cause of kidney failure, lowerlimb amputations and adult blindness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Also, check with your health plan and employer to see if they offer wellness incentives. For example, UnitedHealthcare’s Gym Check-In program enables participating employers to provide employees and their spouses the opportunity to each earn hundreds of dollars a year for visiting a fitness facility 12 days or more per month.

There are many factors that play a role in your health, but one that you can control is making a commitment to start living a healthier lifestyle. Sure, there will be some bumps during your well-being journey, but your goal can be achievable and you deserve to reap the benefits. Ann Marie O’Brien, national director of health strategies at UnitedHealthcare, offers the following tips for achieving a healthier you in 2020. Stay active Regular exercise may help you live longer and may reduce your risks for a host of diseases. Try to aim for at least 2.5 hours

Eat healthier Sure, it’s easier said than done, but good nutrition is a vital part of a healthier lifestyle. Experts say the healthiest diets are rich in fruits and vegetables, because these foods are full of healthful nutrients and fiber. Here are three simple tips to eating healthier: Go for more fruits and veggies; choose less meat and fat; and keep an eye on the size of your food portions. Just saying “no” to the buffet can do wonders. Reduce your stress If you’re feeling stressed, it’s important to unwind and relax by doing something you enjoy. Maybe it’s watching a movie, reading a book or volunteering to give you time to recharge. Also, make time to connect with


others. Maybe that’s friends, family, a faith group or a hobby club. It’s important that you don’t isolate yourself after a stressful event. Remember, if you cannot get a handle on your stress, talk to your doctor. She or he may recommend a counselor who could help you find other ways to help reduce or manage the unhealthy stress in your life. Team up with your doctor Take time today to make an appointment with your doctor for your annual wellness visit and be sure to ask about preventive services such as health screenings and vaccines. Check with your health plan as many preventive services have no additional cost, as long they are delivered by care providers in your plan’s network. Your doctor will help you create a treatment plan to help manage any chronic conditions, such as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure. Source - BPT
