I guess chasing after two little ones doesn’t make time stand still! 2014 is here and PB Parenting is excited to be entering into our third year of publication! We are committed each month to bring you the latest information and events in Palm Beach County. If you have a suggestion, an event or just want to say “hi” drop me a line at felonice@pbparenting.com. I would love to hear from you! The new year is also a great time for change. Many people make individual resolutions but what about a FAMILY resolution? You have a better chance of keeping it if the whole family adopts it. Check out page 12 for some great suggestions on starting the new year off on the right foot. While the beginning of the 2014-15 school year still seems far away, the new school year will be here before you know it! January is a busy month for preschool and charter school open houses and enrollment. Check out pages 8-11 for a directory full of options for your children. An open house is a great way to tour the facility, meet the staff and see if the school is the right choice.

Braun Forehead Thermometer Accurate, non-invasive temperature taking in just seconds! The latest innovation from the #1 brand in thermometry, the Braun Forehead Thermometer combines clinically proven accuracy and speed for quick, non-invasive measurements. Designed for the whole family and gentle enough to be used on a sleeping infant, the Braun Forehead Thermometer takes the confusion, stress and struggle out of temperature taking, offering a color-coded fever guidance system, a large easy-toread screen, and backlight for middle-of-the-night readings. The fever guidance system changes the screen’s color from green to yellow to red to help take the guesswork out of interpreting a temperature and whether it’s a fever. The thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin over the temporal artery, a major artery of the head. This artery is connected to the heart, offers constant blood flow, and is an artery positioned close enough to the skin to provide an accurate temperature measurement. Infrared technology takes multiple readings while you swipe, processing them through a unique algorithm, giving you an accurate measurement. Available at Walmart, Walgreens, and Publix and Babies R US. Vicks Starry Night Cool Moisture Humidifier – Now in PINK! Getting kids or even the youngat-heart excited about humidifiers is tough to say the least. The foreign glow and sounds of a humidifier can be hard to get used to, and an unfamiliar shape in the shadows of a bedroom can even seem scary to little ones. Now, with new technology, tots can fall fast asleep beneath a vast sky filled with glowing stars – and they’re easier to count than sheep! The new Vicks Starry Night Humidifier releases cool moisture into the air, providing temporary relief from cold and cough symptoms. The humidifier’s builtin, independently controlled projector can be turned on and off, making it ideal for all ages while also saving energy – just flip the switch off once their tired eyes have closed. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using a cool mist humidifier throughout the winter months to help relieve congestion and coughs for youngsters. A cool mist humidifier helps keep air at a comfortable humidity to help relieve nasal and chest congestion. Also, new research also suggests that homes kept at 40-60% relative humidity can help reduce the survival of the flu virus on surfaces and in the air. Available in various colors at Walmart, Walgreens, Babies R US and Kmart. For more info go to kaz.com/vicks. 6 January 2014 | PB Parenting |

CHARTER SCHOOLS Charter schools are public schools of choice. They are among the fastest growing school choice options in Florida.

They are run by independent governing boards and each has its own philosophy, vision, and focus that determines the type of experience you and your child will have at that particular charter school. They

are also accountable to the families they serve, and must provide excellent customer service and a high quality educational program in order to keep their students.

Family New

Year’s

Resolutions BY SARA KENDALL

Promise and possibilities emerge as the New Year rolls around. Many take stock of where they are and where they want to be. This year, try making resolutions as a family. Doing so will give your kids an opportunity to learn about working together as a team and the value of goal setting. Get started by gathering everyone around to discuss goals as a family. We suggest 5 attainable family goals to set in motion to see what your family can accomplish together. Don’t tackle them all at once, choose one, and focus on this goal for several weeks before adding a new one. Eat Healthier - It’s one of the most common New Year resolutions out there, but it’s truly important to put your family on the path of eating more natural foods and fewer processed meals. Think about incorporating more veggies into the meals you already serve like adding shredded carrots to your mac-n-cheese or chopped veggies to meatballs. Kids will hardly notice but it adds more vitamins, minerals, and fiber to their dinner. For dessert, serve the fruit of the season

instead a pre-packaged, processed treat. Search online for healthy family recipe ideas. Homemade meals do take a bit more time to prepare than those highly processed frozen or boxed meals. As you get started, look for simple recipes not requiring a lot of prep time. Get your kids involved by helping with some of the food preparation. Takeout is convenient and sometimes unavoidable, but homemade meals are far healthier and much cheaper. Get Fit Together - Here’s another top resolution that is often forgotten in just a month or two, but regular exercise has been associated with enormous health benefits. The more active you are the better you will feel and the healthier you will be. Figure out a schedule and make a plan to get moving biweekly or every other day. If your family can only work out once a week, it’s better than nothing. Active families are healthier families, so get yours moving. Here are a few suggestions to get your family started. • Take a walk around the neighborhood

Unplug Once a Week - Technology is an incredible tool that, for better or for worse, will forever be a part of our lives. On the downside, many have become obsessed with constantly checking in on social media sites, playing games, or endless hours surfing. Completely unplug once a week and have a Screen Free Day. You will inevitably get protests form your kids and even your spouse, but everyone will learn different ways to fill their time. Kids will get active and their creativity will blossom. Parents will get back to the basics and spend more time with their kids. Simplify Schedules - Overscheduling has become a common concern in many families. Look at your calendar to see if this issue applies to your family. Is your family’s calendar jammed with multiple activities on each day? Are your kids tired and grumpy all the time? Are their grades slipping and their friends don’t come around as much anymore? Eating takeout every night? If you’re nodding your head yes, you need to make a change. Kids need time for their homework, playing with friends, hanging out with family, and just relaxing. If your kids are overscheduled, it typically means parents are too. Reduce activities, and stress levels will drop for the whole family. Argue Less, Talk More - Sibling rivalry is alive and well in most families. You can hear it loud and clear by all their screaming.

A Healthy, Fruity and ProteinPacked Salad

Blueberries are nature’s perfect little

superfood, and now these little blue powerhouses are available in grocery stores throughout the winter months. Fresh blueberries are natural cancerfighters. In addition to a healthy dose of cancer-fighting antioxidants, fresh blueberries pack enough vitamins, fiber and phytochemicals to rank them high on the list of superfoods all by themselves. Heart-healthy, they’re also full of vitamin C and fiber, making them the ideal go-to fruit to pack great nutrition into every meal. Recipe for resolutions So, if your New Year’s resolution is to eat healthier, this recipe for Blueberry, Butternut Squash and Quinoa Salad will help you keep it. Not just one, but two of nature’s superfoods – fresh blueberries and

quinoa – team up with butternut squash to create a salad that’s packed with protein, bursting with sweet and tangy flavor. The protein in this healthful, low-calorie salad comes from quinoa, widely considered a grain but really a type of seed more closely related to spinach and chard. As a significant source of protein, just one cup of quinoa has a full gram more than is found in an egg. Butternut squash is widely available during the winter months and is not only sweet and tasty, but contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol, so it’s an ideal food for folks on special diets. What’s more, it’s a good source of potassium, magnesium and fiber, and an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Put all three of these core ingredients together and you have a winter salad that is super nutritious and yummy.

In small bowl, whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper; set aside. In large bowl combine squash, green onions, blueberries, arugula and quinoa.
