Meet Chloe our first PB Parenting Cover Contest winner! Chloe won the opportunity to participate in our annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer camp coverâ&#x20AC;? shoot with Lynn Studios. It was a warm afternoon at Dyer Park in West Palm Beach and the quick passing sprinkles of rain held out long enough to get some great shots of our camp kids in action! Chloe is 9 years old from Lake Worth and is in 3rd grade. She enjoys dance, cheerleading, drawing and watching youtube videos. When she grows up she wants to be a model. Her favorite subject at school is math. Chloe, like most kids, says her favorite food is Mac and Cheese. Her favorite animal is a cat (orange to be exact)! Congrats Chloe!

Choosing the Right Day Camp for Your Child BY CHRISTA MELNYK HINES Day camps come in all shapes and sizes, appealing to a range of interests and ages. Here’s how to find a camp that invests in your youngster by creating an unforgettable experience where they’ll meet new friends, gain self-confidence and learn new skills --all while giving you peace of mind. Begin with basics. First determine your schedule needs. Some camps are only a few hours a day while others are structured to work well with a working parent’s schedule. Figure out if you’ll need to arrange before or after care. From there, seek a camp with “caring staff, fun programs and a dedication to the health and safety of the campers,” says DD Gass, a director of camps and schoolage services for a faith-based community center. Match the camp with your child’s interests. From computer coding to robotics and sports, day camps offer kids the opportunity to try all kinds 8 March 2017 | PB Parenting |

of new activities. If your child isn’t interested in a camp that specializes in one activity, choose a more traditional camp that offers a wide range of activities throughout the session. “Make sure there’s a healthy balance between structure and choice,” says Jim Spearin, senior vice president of Youth Development for the YMCA. Consider the culture. Ask for referrals from trusted family and friends.”Choose a camp that welcomes parents as partners in their experience,” Spearin says. “Parents should always feel welcome to come visit during camp. There should be planned activities for both parent and camper to enjoy together such as special events or campouts.” Seek qualified, organized staff. Camp employees should be licensed, certified and trained in sexual/child abuse prevention, first aid and CPR. Find out how camp leaders are supervised and how they plan for

emergencies, including natural disasters, intruders and other threats. Also consider the child-to-staff ratio. Will your child feel lost in a group that’s too big, even if it meets state criteria? “It’s vitally important for staff to have child development knowledge and experience to ensure that appropriate, engaging and enriching activities are offered,” says Katrina Ball, a childcare resource and referral director. Try it before you buy. Attend a camp expo or camp fair to find out what options exist in the area (PB Parenting’s 3rd annual Summer Camp Expo is on Sunday, April 23rd. Details at pbparenting.com). Some organizations feature their own camp fairs and mini-camps during the spring for families to try. “As a parent you know your child best and what program would be best for them. Trust your instincts,” Ball says.

Calm butterflies. Many youngsters have a hard time adjusting to new situations and people and may feel scared or intimidated. Include them in the process of choosing a camp. Discuss the schedule of activities and what a typical day will look like. “Children can help pack their lunch (if needed) and pack their backpack with the items they’ll need for camp. This helps them know what they have in their backpack and know what they will need to bring home,” Gass says.

Find out if one of your child’s friends would like to attend the camp with him. Attending orientations, visiting the camp site and meeting the staff prior to the beginning of camp can also help reduce any pre-camp jitters. Freelance journalist, Christa Melnyk Hines and her husband are the parents of two happy day campers. Christa’s latest book is Happy, Healthy & Hyperconnected: Raise a Thoughtful Communicator in a Digital World.

How To Love Your Kids Better: Understanding the Five Love Languages BY JESSICA GRAHAM “Will you make me a piece of toast?” my son asks. He’s sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book. On the counter, all laid out and ready to go, is the toaster, bread, and butter. I’ve got one eye on the clock and the other on the not-yet made school lunches. I don’t want to make my very capable child a piece of toast. I want him to be self-sufficient and independent. I do it anyway. I do it not because I’m giving in or capitulating to the demands of a hungry eight-year-old, but because his love language is Acts of Service. Believe it or not, to him, mom-made toast spells l-o-v-e. You would think that it would have been easy for me to spot this call for love. After all, acts of service are my love language, too. Often on Saturday mornings, I’ll ask my husband, “Will you go make the coffee?” Naturally, I am equally capable of making the coffee, but I luxuriate not only in the lying in bed aspect but also in having someone else do it for me just because.

their after school activities but still aren’t fully “hearing” our love? The love languages can be broken down as follows: 1. Words of affirmation are verbal compliments or encouraging words. 2. Quality time is undivided attention. It doesn’t have to be anything special or elaborate; it can just be one-on-one time spent hanging out. 3. Receiving gifts is tokens and surprise presents you’ll know the other person will enjoy. 4. Acts of service are acts performed on behalf of the other person. These acts are typically very practical, but for this person, actions speak louder than words. 5. Physical touch is connecting through touch, such as hugging, holding hands, or even just sitting close.

Each of us, according to Chapman, have one primary love language, and, at least, one secondary love language. Our primary love language is the way in which we understand another’s love best. In the case of children, their primary love language is the way they Gary Chapman, PhD, is the author of the understand their parents love best. Even if bestselling book The 5 Love Languages. we are communicating our love to our kids, According to Chapman, everyone has a “love if we aren’t doing it in their love language, language” or a language in which they hear we aren’t communicating it in the most love. The five categories of love languages effective way possible and their needs may are fairly self-explanatory. But, unless, we not be met. are familiar with the love languages and Figuring out a child’s love language can be how they work, we may not know what truly trickier than determining an adult’s, because “speaks” to our kids (or significant other). you may need to rely on a child’s behavior How is it, we ask ourselves, that we can be for clues rather than explaining the five love hugging and kissing our kids, tucking them languages and simply asking them what into bed at night and carting them around to their language is. 12 March 2017 | PB Parenting |

My daughter is a lover of things. Stuffed animals and small toys make her heart sing. I don’t share these tendencies - I’d rather have my husband put gas in my car than bring me a dozen roses any day of the week. Because receiving gifts isn’t my love language, it took me a while to see it as hers. I saw her love of bits and bobs as a love of things, rather than a love language. While I don’t want her to think that love comes with a price tag, I do see the value in picking up little things because, to her, they are reminders of my love.

Calendar Thurs., Mar. 2 • 5 - 7 PM Hack Shack Tech Club at South Florida Science Center and Aquarium The “Art” of Coding - If you like to make, tinker, design, and engineer, then the Hack Shack Tech Club is for you! Computers play a major role in the world of graphic design. Usually, artists use special programs that let them draw and manipulate images in real-time, right on their computer screen. But that’s not how things were done when computer graphics first started out. Programmers actually had to code their artwork. This session will show you how computers can turn lines of code into actual images as we program our own pieces of digital art. Open to grades 5 - 8. The cost is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Visit www.sfsciencecenter. org/hack-shacktech-club to register or for more information. 4801 Dreher Trail North, West Palm Beach.
