Stuff f Summ or er Fun !

We are seriously crushing on these NEW Snack & Everything Bags, Snack Bag Minis and Wet Bags from Itzy Ritzy! Pretty and fun patterns include Anchors, Butterlies, Pineapples, Rainbows, Tigers and Flowers! These stylish, eco-friendly zippered carriers ideal for toting snacks, such as dried fruits and crackers. These reusable bags are a wonderful, green alternative to plastic baggies. The bags are machine washable and line drying is recommended for easy cleaning. The Itzy Ritzy Travel Happens Sealed Wet Bag is the best way to store and travel with wet or dry items while still being both eco-friendly and fashionable. The wet bags are made with a 100-percent cotton designer fabric exterior and BPA-Free. Now with an adjustable snap, nylon handle, the wet bag is perfect for on the go and to attach to strollers. Designed with sealed seams and a lead-free zipper, this bag prevents leaks and odors from getting out while keeping its contents inside. This bag measures 14-inches by 17-inches, provides multiple uses for any age group of your family and can hold diapers and wipes, cosmetics, gym clothes, beach gear, toiletries, sporting items, bibs, bottles, wet baby clothes, food and more. This bag is machine washable and line drying is recommended for easy cleaning. Check out www.itzyritzy.com. When is a towel more than a towel? When it’s lightweight, anti-microbial, quick-drying, and sunburn-preventing. Like this one. The Ultra Fast-Dry Towel from Discovery Trekking Outfitters is made from an innovative fabric that’s designed to pull the water from your skin and then spread the moisture across the surface area of the fabric so it evaporates quickly. The absorbancy is almost unbelievable; you don’t have to rub, you just touch the towel to your skin and the moisture moves to the towel like a magnet. And after you’re dry, the towel itself dries incredibly fast (up to three times faster than typical cotton towels). Leslie Hanes, founder of Discovery Trekking, created the towel to be the perfect companion for swimmers, hikers, travelers, and beach goers like herself. She infused the fabric with built-in Silver Salt anti-microbial technology to discourage bacterial growth (you won’t miss the smell that most towels harbor when they’re soggy), and SPF sun protection. It’s everything you need to stay dry, cozy, and protected from the sun. Available at www.thegrommet.com.

A great alternative, especially to learn and grow in areas that children for younger kids, is to send them to day may not be exposed to at school. Kids camp. Day camp, as the name implies, can pick camps that tailor to their interest typically consists of a series of consecutive including a variety of sports, music, dance, days where the child is away during the theater, science, art, exploring nature, and daytime hours. Children leave in the more. If your child is drawn to a particular morning to have the camp experience activity or subject, chances are there is a and come home in the afternoon or camp that would interest them.

Take a break from the screen When children spend time at day camp, they get a much needed break from screen time. As video games, apps, TV, and tablets take more and more of our free time, getting the kids outside to play or having fun while learning new skills is a priceless benefit to parents. Who knows? When the kids come home from camp, they may realize they don’t need as much screen time as they thought they did. Lifelong skills Day camp helps kids learn skills they can use for a lifetime including problem solving and leadership skills, improved confidence, and an openness to new things. Depending on the camp, they may learn other skills that will stick with them. My kids learned how to start a fire and cook their own meal at local scouting camps. My daughter gained the confidence to get on stage in front of a

room full of parents and peers at theater camp. My kids improved their skills at sport camps and they faced their fears while trying the camp obstacle course. These experiences will stay with your child throughout their life as they are faced with challenges and successes in the future. As you are deciding if day camp is right for your family, consider what type of camp your child would be most interested in. Choose something that you know they will be successful at and consider inviting a friend to sign up with your child. This can make them more comfortable that first day. Let your child help you choose the right camp and then let them know you think they will do great. Sarah Lyons is a midwestern mom of six, including two year old triplets.

DAY CAMP CHECKLIST • Sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 45 • Insect repellant wipes and/or insect repellent wristband (do not send an aerosol can of insect repellant–the spray will sting if it gets in your child’s eyes.) • Bathing suit and towel • Water bottle filled with ice-cold water • Hat • Sunglasses • Comfortable running shoes or closed-toe sports sandals WITH socks • Extra set of clothes (especially a pair of socks and shirt if they get wet from the rain) • Rain poncho (rolls up small)

10 March 2019 | PB Parenting |

• Medication: All camps should have your child’s medical information on file. Having an extra note with details in their backpack and attached to their Prescription medication and/or Epi-Pen is helpful. • Food: Most day camps will provide lunch and snacks. If you pack a lunch it should be easy to eat on the ground. A sandwich (avoid peanut butter since most camps are nut-free), fruit and a juice box or water makes for a healthy lunch. Granola bars make an excellent snack. Some camps may have snack bars or vending machines. Notify the camp of any food allergies your child may have. Optional: • Change purse with $1-$2 for snacks • Benadryl cream for itchy mosquito bites

Sending Your Child With Special Needs to Camp You’ve decided to send your child with special needs to camp this summer. But that’s just the first step — you can choose a camp designed just for kids with special needs or a mainstream camp where your child will be with kids without special needs. Once that’s decided, what can you do to get ready? Preparing Your Child — and Yourself If you haven’t visited the camp, get as much information about it as possible, including a description of the layout and a video, if the camp has one, and go over these with your child. Tell your child that you’ll be checking in regularly with the camp staff and stress that he or she can always let them know if his or her needs aren’t being met. Offer reassurance that you and the camp staff will take every precaution to make sure that all kids stay safe. Talk about the benefits of attending camp and what some of your child’s goals might be, such as to try a new sport, make new friends, or just enjoy a break from doctors’ appointments and therapy sessions. When kids are intimidated by the thought of attending a residential camp or an inclusionary camp, parents might consider starting them in a day camp or a sports team for kids with special

12 March 2019 | PB Parenting |

needs. This can give them the skills and confidence they need to feel comfortable about going to a residential camp. Start with regular sports activities and day camp. Then use a special-needs camp to get them used to being away before sending them to an inclusionary camp. Another option to consider is sending a child to camp with a friend or a sibling. If kids attend an inclusionary or mainstream camp, the buddy doesn’t have to have a special need. Going with a friend can reduce stress for both parents and kids, since kids with special needs and their camp buddies will be looking out for each other. Sharing Information With Camp Staff Some parents are reluctant to share too much information with camp staff for fear it will have negative repercussions for their child (for example, they may wonder if the camp will still take their child or if they’re setting their child up for failure). But good camps will want and need to know as much as possible — the more information they have, the better. Consult with your child’s doctor and other specialists, such as a physical therapist, to make sure you give the camp director and staff all necessary information, and ask the camp staff if they have everything they need from you.

You can help educate the staff by spending time with them and answering and asking questions before you drop off your child. This can be critical. For example, if your child will be attending a mainstream camp, you’ll want to make sure that everything is accessible for your child and that the staff understands your child’s needs. Many camps have paperwork you can fill out to share information about things like dietary and medical needs. And regardless of whether your child is going to a day or residential camp, you should give the staff a list of emergency phone numbers and email addresses, and make sure they know how to reach you at all times during your child’s camp stay. If your child takes any medication, include the phone number of your doctor in case the prescription is lost and needs to be refilled by camp staff.

Check whether the camp infirmary stocks your child’s medication, too. If it doesn’t, send extra medicine in case of an emergency. What to Pack Try to limit the special equipment your child brings, especially if it’s expensive or breakable. Kids going to a mainstream camp are likely to want to be like all the other kids, so do what you can to accommodate that desire. And mark or label everything with your child’s name to make it easier to keep track of belongings — that goes for everything from crutches to a retainer case. If the camp hasn’t sent you one, you should call ahead for a list of recommended items. Every camp has different requirements. You also have the option to provide any support staff your child needs. If your child needs a therapist, you can have that person come in on a predetermined basis to provide care. Or maybe your child needs more intensive, round-the-clock care — ask the camp director what you can do to accommodate these special needs. Remember, however, that you may want to let your child have a vacation from therapy or other treatments. Before you decide to postpone any treatments, though, consult with your doctor.

Dealing With Anxiety and Homesickness Many camps don’t allow direct contact between parent and child while the camp is in session — they do this to help the campers stay focused on their activities. This can be scary for parents of kids with special needs, which is why it’s important that you figure out, ahead of time, how you’ll get information about your child’s status. Will the camp call you with updates or can you occasionally call or email the supervisor and camp staff? Like any parent of a camper, though, parents of kids with special needs can write letters to remind their kids that they’re loved and missed, and that they can’t wait to hear all about their campers’ many experiences. And just like any other child, your kid probably won’t want you to cramp his or her style while away at camp. The best thing you can do is respect your camper’s need for freedom and independence while enjoying a safe camp environment.

Spring break for Palm Beach County Public Schools is from March 18-25. There are many great camp options (check out page 48). However, you may opt to take some time off from work or maybe you are a stay at home parent and need some ideas on where to go with the little ones during the break. Explore your backyard People travel from all over the world to enjoy the sun, beach and beautiful weather South Florida has to offer! When was the last time you were at the beach? I know it is a big pain to haul all that gear and stuff but it really wears the kids out and is a lot of fun. If the thought of sand in your car is too messy, maybe check out a local splash pad or water park. If you are feeling really adventurous head to Central Florida area and check out the many springs they have up there such as Wekiwa or Blue Springs. Educational Field Trips Just because school is out doesn’t mean the learning has to stop. Day trips to some area attractions can help teach the kids a few things and have fun while away from the classroom. Some of PB Parenting’s top picks: South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, The Palm Beach Zoo, Schoolhouse Children’s Museum and Learning Center, Sandoway Discovery Center, Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Learn about animals, science and more all within a 30-40 minute drive of

your house. If you are feeling adventurous, you can take the Brightline Train down to the Frost Science Center in Miami or the Museum of Science and Discovery in Fort Lauderdale and make a full day of it. Indoor Fun If it’s a rainy day or maybe you want a break from the outside, check out Adrenaline Entertainment Center! This fun trampoline park has a rock climbing wall, basketball, trapeze and dodgeball. 2 hours of jumping and my kids are worn out for the day! Another great option is ice skating at Palm Beach Skate Zone! It might be warm outside but it is cool and icy inside. Artsy Fartsy Have you checked out the newly remodeled Norton Museum? There is a lot to explore and a great way to introduce the kids to many styles of art. Children 12 and under are FREE every day. Also teachers bring your ID and you are FREE too! Museum admission is free to the public on Fridays and Saturdays! (Adults are $18 Monday-Thursday). Day at Home Are you always on the go? When was there a day you spent the whole day home? Make it fun, have a movie marathon with their favorite snack! Have the kids help prepare their favorite meal, take a bike ride around the neighborhood, or make some lemonade and relax in the yard while the kids play.
