makers say they have no other place to share what they do. DIY (Do-ItYourself) is often invisible in our communities, taking place in shops, garages, and on kitchen tables. It is typically out of the spotlight of traditional art, science, or craft events. Maker Faire makes visible these projects and ideas that we do not encounter every day. Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these “makers” to show hobbies, experiments, and projects. We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the Rocklin Mini Maker Faire is a celebration for all ages, featuring rockets and robots, digital fabrication, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, bicycles, unique hand-made crafts, music and local food, and educational workshops and installations. The Rocklin Mini Maker Faire follows the “big” Maker Faire model of celebrating invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, but is smaller in scale and showcases the wonders of Placer and Sacramento counties and beyond! Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new; Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies. But it’s not just for the novel in technical fields; Maker Faire features innovation and experimentation across the spectrum of science, engineering, art, performance, and craft. Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. It is a venue for makers to show examples of their work and interact with others.

THE TEEN YEARS TRANSITION: IT’S A MOM & DAUGHTER THING By Ali Argo
T
here comes a time in a daughter’s life where her mom goes from a hero, the protector and patron of all that is good, to the villain, the benefactor of evil. In my eyes, this tragic transformation happened to my mom as I embarked on my teenage years. My mom suddenly became the “bad guy;” her sole purpose was to embarrass me and to enforce rules that imprisoned me as I struggled for independence. She was no longer the hero I adored and looked up to, but rather the enemy I found myself battling. After butting heads for years, I finally tired of the perpetual conflict. I needed an ally - I wanted a hero again; however, our once close relationship lay in a broken heap of anger, and my mom and I were faced with a new challenge… rebuilding and restructuring our relationship. Together, we conceded that three crucial factors were necessary for us to bury the hatchet and enjoy a healthy and happy mother/daughter relationship. I believe communication, empathy, and trust are what brought my mom back to me..
C
ommunication between mother and daughter is often a very difficult task, especially if the topic at hand is an uncomfortable one- which, during the adolescent years, is every
topic. When a young girl faces a constant barrage of physical and emotional change, it is difficult to conjure up the courage to reach out for advice or assistance from anyone, especially Mom. Trust me, as I speak from personal experience.
A
favorite memory that I shared with my mother from those awkward tween years was the time when I asked her if I could start shaving my legs. Far too intimidated to ask her face-to-face, I wrote my request on a little piece of paper and left it in my mom’s bathroom. My mom had to be patient when my naive “embarrassment” prompted me to assign notes and the occasional eye roll as my primary forms of communication. That day, not only did she “allow” me to shave my legs, but more importantly, she reassured me that it was okay to talk to her about anything and everything. In retrospect, I believe this assurance was one of her most valuable gifts to me. She did not force me to talk, but left that sentiment to marinate in the back of my mind. Like most teens, I avoided direct communication and mostly disregarded my mother’s offer of support, but the seed was planted, one that would ripen and grow with time. Eventually, in my own time, I tested and harvested the seed she had planted and now I juice the fruit of her wisdom and savor every drop of sweet advice.
A
nother barrier to communication between a mom and her daughter is a lack of empathy for each other’s respective lives. Empathy is extremely important during adolescence when the child’s and the parent’s worlds are most antithetical. The most effective way to coexist with someone is to empathize and understand what is going on in their life; however, let me tell you, this is sometimes extremely difficult to achieve with your mom. During my middle school years, I felt like my mom did not understand what I was experiencing and her advice was rarely helpful. For each crisis, she generously offered words of advice such as: “Just ignore them,” “You are better off without him,” and the infamous, “It’s not the end of the world.” My
mom’s intentions were pure, as she was trying to save me from my teenage angst. Unfortunately, her dismissal of my melodrama felt patronizing and offensive, and the resulting communication caused me to further tune out her crescendo of suggestions. What both of us failed to truly comprehend is that we were living in two very different worlds at the timemy world much smaller. In my middle school world, to my 12-yearold self, my problems were life or death, my frustrations infuriating, and my heartbreaks crippling. I had tunnel vision and very little understanding of how miniscule my problems were within the grander scheme of life. My mom was trying to help me put my problems in perspective. Now, at
the EXTREMELY mature age of 17, I understand that she was merely trying to minimize drama and provide real-world context. Though the teen years began as a bumpy road, with arguments and misunderstanding at every corner, my mom and I have made colossal strides towards a healthy empathetic exchange of worries. I have begun to value her input and acknowledge that she comes from a place of love, experience, and good intention. She listens more and understands that my juvenile dilemmas are the most important situations I have experienced thus far in my short life. We are better able to recognize our different perspectives and have moved from a place of conflict to a relationship of mutual understanding and trust.
I
have learned a lot about trust these past few years. I have learned not only how important it is to have, but also how difficult it is to keep. A maternal bond is built upon a foundation of trust; as is any healthy relationship. In order to gain my mother’s trust, I have learned I must consistently demonstrate trustworthy behavior. Trust is earned- a realization that has come only after a great deal of trial and error! I am not an angel. Like most kids, I have made mistakes, broken rules, and disregarded my parents’ concerns; however, the transgressions that broke my mother’s trust are the mistakes that hurt my heart the most. In these instances, the tangible feeling of my mom’s disappointment was unbearable. So, while we may never completely agree on things, such as my curfew, or which social events I should attend, we have both worked hard to
stay true to our word and listen to each other with mutual respect.
I
continue to discover that my mom’s rules are not put in place to ruin my life. Her restrictions are an attempt to protect me. Despite my flaws, to my mom, I am an angel, and losing me is her greatest fear. My mom is grudgingly recognizing that I am growing up, and I need to try new things. The mistakes that I inevitably make are necessary so that I am prepared for the next chapter in my life. But trust involves give and take. The more she can trust me to honor my word, the more I trust she will respect my developing maturity and bolstering opinion.
R
elationships are work, especially if you want them to last. Sometimes having polarized priorities means that the relationship between a mother and a teenage daughter can require extra effort. While it may be a struggle, I believe that understanding, as opposed to agreement, may be the key to a positive, successful relationship. I remember the moment I began to truly understand my mom. It was the moment I stopped seeing her as allknowing and all-powerful and acknowledged her, not as the hero or the enemy, but as another woman with similar problems and experiences. Maybe she is not meant to be a hero, she is only human, but that does not make her a villain. I could only reach this realization after communicating with her, empathizing with her, and then finally trusting that my mom- my strong, beautiful, intelligent mom- is a fantastic woman and will always be on my side.

“I truly enjoy my work. Helping prepare for the future of our society is a great work,” said Ronnie Binczewski, recently. Having worked with children for over 55 years now, Ronnie opened Nautilus Montessori School in 1980. Focus of the initial school was Infant-Toddler Parent Participation at a time when I-T classes were almost non-existent. Frowned upon by her peers for allowing parents in the classroom, Ronnie believed she could best serve children by showing parents how to teach their children. A true pioneer in Early Childhood Education, Ronnie continues her work with children ages 2-6 years at Nautilus Montessori School in Roseville. Currently she is preparing several books on the topics of raising children, family life in the 21st century, and picture books for children under seven years.

New Book On Twins And Triplets Releases On National Twin Day Local author, Megan Woolsey, has co-edited another book in the Multiples Illuminated series with the goal of supporting parents in the unique position of raising twins, triplets, and more. Megan Woolsey has lived in Cameron Park for 14 years, where she has raised, along with her husband, triplets and singleton daughter. Multiples Illuminated: Life with Twins and Triplets, The Toddler to Tween Years, the second book in the Multiples Illuminated anthology series, will be published on National Twins Day, August 4. Multiples Illuminated, a community created by two parents of triplets and twins respectively, Megan Woolsey and Alison Lee, published its first book on multiples in 2016. The new book, like its predecessor, will feature essays from 21 writers from all walks of life and varying perspectives on parenting twins and triplets. This book in the series moves beyond pregnancy and a babyhood, to thought-provoking essays about the dynamic relationship between multiples from the ages of two to twelve, how to encourage individuality in multiples, and navigating the school years.

“There are very few books available today that offer support and guidance for parents raising multiples in the toddler to tween age group, so we feel that it is important for us to support this community through the humorous and heartfelt essays in our latest book,” said Megan Woolsey, Co-editor. Dr. Joan A. Friedman, a gifted psychotherapist and author of Emotionally Healthy Twins: A New Philosophy for Parenting Two Unique Children and The Same but Different: How Twins Can Live, Love, and Learn to Be Individuals, geared toward educating twins and their families about twins’ emotional needs, writes the foreword for the anthology. “The beauty of reading this wonderful collection of stories in this second anthology of Multiples Illuminated is the sharing of our unique family experiences. When I speak as a ‘twin expert,’ I qualify my remarks by emphasizing that no parenting philosophy should espouse the notion that ‘one size fits all,’” says Friedman in the book’s foreword. Co-editor, Alison Lee, adds, “This book is for, and by, families of multiples. In publishing this book, we hope to share our experiences, not just with parents of twins and triplets; we want to show that as much as raising multiples is unique, there are plenty of universal commonalities with other families. Families of multiples are often asked, ‘how do you do it?’ We hope that Multiples Illuminated: Life with Twins and Triplets, the Toddler to Tween Years, gives them the answer.”

A & Q
Happy New Year? As a child, a student, and a parent, the ‘new year’ did not start with January first, but many months before with the first day of school. In preparation, I would notice how my son had matured over the summer, grown out of his shoes, made new friends, and developed new skills. I would hope that I was up to the challenge this next stage would bring. Since we are approaching the start date for school, I would like to offer my four best resolutions for your ‘new year’ as a parent and encourage you to use them to create your own. 1) This year, I will commit to spending as much time as possible ‘being’ with my children. While we all benefit from the gift of entertainment and the connection of the internet, you need to give your children the gift of your undivided attention. Be in the moment with them. Toddlers do something we call parallel play when they are active in the same room, but immersed in their own activity. Often they do not acknowledge the other’s presence. This is because they have not yet developed ‘social skills’. In the electronic age, we often revert to this early stage and forget to relate to others around us. You can increase time interacting as a family by having a time each day that TV, computers, and electronic games are quiet. Tell jokes, stories, take a walk, star gaze, build something, play an instrument, or sing together. Have a family meeting and decide together what new activities you can plan that are signal free. 2) This year, I will allow my children to make mistakes and take risks without rescuing them. It is hard to not want to be a ‘helicopter parent’. Yet no one ever really claims that title. It is just that we love our children and want to protect them from the pain of life. While this is important to do in some situations, doing it all the time means that they are not developing resilience, learning how to work through frustration, and creating new survival skills. Let your children fall down, miss a play in sports, have a problem with a friend, get a low grade in a class, and question authority respectfully. Involve them in activities that take practice to master. Try some new experiences yourself so you can model that life is about learning.
3) This year, I will be more authentic with my family. I will share more of my history and present challenges. Often we are so afraid to worry our children, we share very little of ourselves with them. For example, telling a specific story about your own problems making friends as a child is a great way to encourage your child to share that they are being bullied. While it is inappropriate to talk about specifics of financial or marital problems, that does not mean we do not talk about the realities of our life. In order to prepare our growing children for life as an adult, we need to let them in on the challenges we face. So open up with more specifics about how you deal with a too talkative co-worker, a boss who is confusing, or your insecurity about how to ask for a pay raise. Admitting the hurdles in your life outside the family will let your child know that mastery of your environment is a work in progress for everyone. 4) This year, I will find ways each day to appropriately physically touch my children. It is a challenge as kids grow up to stay in physical contact. We know that babies will die without human touch. I think that spirits die of loneliness, feeling unlovable and a hunger for touch. So add hugs, kisses, handshakes, or high fives to your daily contact with your children. You can make it part of a daily ritual, like never saying goodbye without a hug. Touch can be asked for or given, but should never be withheld as punishment. You can use these resolutions as a starting point to create your own. Have a family meeting, review what did and did not work last school year. Create achievable long and short term goals that will support everyone’s commitment to making your family’s new school year the best possible. And remember to end the meeting with a great big group hug!

R.I.S.E. Strong BY TRACI HAYNES, RD >>FOUNDER/OWNER
growing up up chico roseville magazine 1818 growing magazine
R.I.S.E. Strong (Respect,
Image, Self-Love, Education and Empowerment) is a program designed for adolescent girls at the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade school levels. Through positive school presentations and community workshops, R.I.S.E. attendees leave, equipped with tools necessary to value and care for their whole selves. R.I.S.E. girls are empowered to love and respect themselves, and each other, as they begin their journey on a happy, healthy, lifelong relationship with food, body, and self.
Why R.I.S.E.?
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA, 2016),
40-60% of elementary school girls (ages 6-12) are concerned about becoming too fat and engaging in unhealthy weight control behaviors. With the best-known contributor to eating disorder behavior being body dissatisfaction, recent studies are showing the median onset of eating disorder behaviors as 12-13 years of age (NEDA, 2016). These statistics are very real and alarming. It is our responsibility to bring awareness and education to our young ladies growing up in such a culture. I have worked as a Registered Dietitian for 20 years, with a specialization in eating disorders for the past 10 years. Like most adolescent girls, and women alike,
I have experienced my own struggles with body image and peer pressure to “be” a certain way. Confusing messages about exercise, dieting and acceptance plagued my own youth. It was through my own personal struggle and journey through recovery that my passion to work with adolescent girls was realized. R.I.S.E. is a movement that was developed through years of working
“Moving our bodies is a gift and it is our job to respect and appreciate our body for all that it does for us every day.”
respectfully respond. Good vs. bad foods and “diets” are OUT! Intuitive, mindful, balanced eating, and body talk are in! Moving our bodies is a gift and it is our job to respect and appreciate our body for all that it does for us every day. R.I.S.E. promotes daily, joyful movement. What type of FUN fitness activity do you enjoy?
with young girls who have been exposed to today’s unrealistic, harmful, and socially constructed messages about nutrition, fitness, image and self. R.I.S.E. participants learn to listen to their body’s need for energy and
The one skill that took me years to develop, and is for me, one of the most essential components of the R.I.S.E message, is positive self-talk. Self-talk is the most powerful form of communication because it either empowers or it defeats us. One of the questions I ask the girls is, “Do you always speak to yourself like you would speak to a good friend or sibling, or someone you love?” We explore positive, compassionate self-talk, and self-love tools like music lyrics, quotes and journaling. The energy
and camaraderie that emerges from a room full of R.I.S.E. participants is priceless. The girls amaze me with their vulnerability and courage to show up, share and be seen. It is said that a culture is formed by the stories our children are told. It is time for us to form a new story of self-love, acceptance, compassion, respect and value. We have the opportunity to empower this generation with a new message. What an honor it is for R.I.S.E to be a part of this new story.
In their own words: “I learned that if I would encourage myself more, I could accomplish more. I also learned that I am beautiful and strong.” - 5th grade workshop attendee “No one can bring you down if you believe you are strong and beautiful, because you are.” - 6th grade workshop attendee “A few things I learned from Traci are: it doesn’t matter what the scale says, or the tags on your pants say. It matters who you are as a person. My favorite part was when she let us step on each other’s R.I.S.E. scale so we could compliment each other for who we are.” - 7th grade student “Traci’s presentation helped me realize that my friends really care about me and that I am beautiful and wanted in this world. Traci cares about us, even though she doesn’t really know us; she cares!” - 8th grade student

Next, fold the lining in half by connecting the two pieces of Velcro together. The wrong side of the lining fabric should be showing. The Velcro should line up evenly (If not, readjust the position of your Velcro). Sew down the two sides, leaving the top open. Now, fold the outside fabric in half, with right sides together, so the two 7 ½ inch sides touch. Next, sew the two side seams together, leaving the top open.
3
Turn the outside fabric so the right side is showing. The lining pouch should remain un-turned, with the wrong side of fabric showing. Place the outside fabric pouch inside the lining pouch. The right sides of both fabrics should be touching. Cut the ribbon into 3 inch strips and fold them in half, right sides out. Place between outside fabric and lining in the center of the baggies. Pin the fabrics and ribbon in place.
1
Cut one 11 x 7½ inch rectangle of fabric out for the outside of the bag, one for the lining fabric, and one from craft vinyl. Choose which fabric will be the lining. Next, separate 7 inch Velcro strips so you have one hook side and one loop side. Place the lining rectangle with the right side of the fabric facing up. Measure ¾ of an inch from the top of the lining fabric, on the 7 ½ inch side of the fabric. Pin the loop side of the Velcro across the lining fabric a ¾ of an inch down. Next, turn the fabric and pin the hook side of the Velcro ¾ of an inch down from the top of the 7 ½ inch side of the fabric lining. You should now have Velcro pinned onto the right side of the lining fabric at both the top and the bottom. Sew the Velcro into place.
4 5
Sew the lining and outsides together, leaving a 2 to 3 inch opening for turning.
Turn the pouch right side out. The Velcro may stick during turning, so you will need to pull it apart as you turn it right side out. Flatten the lining and the outside of the pouch with your hands; do not press or you might melt the Velcro or vinyl.
6
Push the lining fabric into the outside fabric, forming the pouch. Now, top stitch around the opening of the pouch to close the gap.
Your reusable pouch is complete. Make a bunch, experiment with different sizes, and enjoy using and reusing them for your favorite snacks!
Growing Up Roseville’s Local Superhero for Fall is Hannah Blackwell! Great job, Hannah!
Hannah Blackwell, Local Hero Ever since Hannah can remember, community service has been an integral part of her life. Her mother was very involved in all school activities and therefore included Hannah and her siblings. It started at the elementary school, helping set up harvest festivals and popping popcorn at dance shows. It helped her create a sense of pride in the work she was doing when she saw the smiles of the children enjoying the events. The joy her family got from working the events led to running more events, such as ice cream socials and talent shows. Hannah learned to have a strong work ethic through this and was able to accept that some of the most rewarding jobs are thankless. She continued to work on community service projects as she moved into middle school and high school. This included visiting and helping her 100 year old grandpa every Sunday. Hannah and her sister drive him to the store, cook lunch, cut his hair, and help with any other task that is difficult for him to complete. On top of this, every Friday, Hannah volunteers at Origin Coffee and Tea, a nonprofit that fights sex trafficking and spreads awareness. Through all of these different opportunities, she has learns new lessons and meets a variety of inspirational people. The time she spends volunteering is priceless and has helped open up her eyes to different perspectives. In helping the community, Hannah does what she enjoys while making the area a safer, happier place.
