THE KING FAMILY How are you and your family holding up during this time?

"During this time, which I have heard called 'The Great Pause', our family has taken this opportunity to enjoy less. We are less rushed, less committed, buying fewer things, and with less we have gained so much MORE. We are in touch with what is most important – each other. We took this opportunity to do some spring cleaning, work on all the arts and crafts, board games and science experiments that have been waiting for us, stored away in the closets.

We're taking neighborhood walks, learning to ride bikes and enjoying the signs of spring all around us. We know that through this we are becoming stronger together, and hope others are able to see the incredible amount of good that can come from the stay at home order."

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

WORDS BY NICOLE SIPE

Publisher Mary Wynne Cox mary@daytonparentmagazine.com Associate Publisher & Advertising Hannah Mohler hannah@daytonparentmagazine.com Editor Nicole Sipe nicolesipe@daytonparentmagazine.com Account Executives Katie Clark katie@daytonparentmagazine.com Brooke Litherland brooke@daytonparentmagazine.com

On the Bright Side I have been trying to find the bright side of things lately. It’s not easy to do during a global pandemic, let me tell you. But I’m trying my best. Looking on the bright side and counting my blessings are two skills I’m trying to hone while these stay-athome orders are in place. Every day presents its own set of challenges and victories. So, every day, I get a new chance to practice these very important skills.

Another skill I have been honing is baking.

Lots of baking. I think I finally have my brownie recipe down pat.

Being a more present parent is another skill that I am working on. What this looks like for me is participating in what my sons are playing.

We’ve played more games — card, board and video — this month than we’ve played all year.

My sons convinced me to learn how to play Minecraft and Roblox, two games that, before the stay-at-home orders, never occurred to me to learn how to play. It turns out, they really like playing these games with their mom.

06

And although video games aren’t my favorite pastime and make me feel seasick, I like that my kids like to share this with me. In six or seven years, doing anything with mom will probably be very uncool, so I am trying to soak up these moments while I can.

There are precious few good things happening as a result of the pandemic, but one of them is that we are spending a lot of time with our families. We’re making memories. We’re getting a chance to change up our habits and find new ways to solve problems and experience life together. Looking on the bright side is important at any time, but it’s especially important now.

Here’s to another month of practicing the important skill of counting our blessings, whatever that may look like for you and your family.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY DAYTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Home Alone When is your child ready for this big step toward independence?

Most kids will tell you they are ready to stay home alone long before you are comfortable letting them. Oh, the freedom of those long hours with no one hogging the remote or interrupting their game!

It’s a little slice of heaven — but is your child ready?

“Staying home alone can build a child’s independence and resilience,” says Melissa King, D.O., pediatrician at Dayton Children’s Pediatrics and director of the Healthy Me program. “It can also leave them open to getting into trouble if they become bored, lonely or feel neglected.”

Gauging a child’s maturity level is the first step. Does your child: • Want to stay home alone?

Do a test run. Walk around the

block or run to the grocery one day and see how your child handles a short period of time left alone when you are still nearby and reachable.

Discuss how it went and anything your child may need to feel more comfortable.

Cover the basics. Post a list of

• Stay (relatively) calm in unexpected situations or when things don't go as planned?

Ohio has no law setting a minimum age to be left home alone, but in general, consider 10 years old a good place to start.

If you and your child are feeling good about the idea, take some basic steps to prepare.

• Show responsibility with homework, household chores and following directions?

emergency phone numbers, such as grandma and grandpa, the neighbor across the street, or the number to your office at work. Make sure they know how to operate any equipment they may need to, such as the microwave, alarm system and fire extinguisher.

Make a plan. Run through a list of emergencies and scenarios, such as a fire, a storm, a power outage, or if someone comes to the door. Have your child tell you what they would do.

Check in. Set a time that you will call your child to check in while they are home alone.

Be available. Make sure that you have your phone on you at all times.

And if you’re in a meeting or not available to take a call, make sure that some else is available.

With a few simple steps, your child is well on their way to feeling confident in their latchkey kid status!

OF BIG ANXIETY Five guideposts for parenting during a pandemic.

O

ftentimes, we joke that we wish children came with manuals. But because there is no such

thing, we rush to the next best option: one of the thousands of parenting books out on the market today. However, I am not familiar with any parenting books on parenting through a global pandemic. Many of us are going rogue during this confusing time and adding more “hats” to our parenting wardrobe: homeschool teacher, IT specialist, and in many cases coworker with our co-parent or our children. While navigating this anxiety-filled time, it is important to introduce ways for you and your loved ones to create calm. Here are five guideposts to manage big changes coupled with big anxiety.

Create Safety In Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs” model, the first need is physiological, and is quickly followed by the need for safety. Now more than ever, it is crucial to hydrate, get good sleep, eat colorful meals and get moving.

When your body feels better, your brain will, too. This goes for children, as well. If children are not getting the movement they need, they will “act up” and create havoc in your home. It is crucial for you and your children to get outside, feel the grass, and look at a vista that is beyond the screen.

Acknowledging and meeting your need for safety is another crucial part to your mental and physical well-being. Creating safety can look many

DAYTONPARENTMAGAZINE.COM I May / June 2020

different ways. Maybe it is doing a little extra cleaning because it helps you feel in control of this invisible germ that is keeping us all at home. Maybe it is making lists or schedules that help you feel a little more in control of big changes. Maybe it is letting go of your schedule and cleaning so that you feel freedom, which may give some an experience of safety. Regardless of how you manage to feel safe, recognize the importance of safety not only for you but also for your family. A sense of safety may look different for each family member.

Be Honest When there are big changes like death, divorce or other experiences that we think are too big for children to handle, we avoid talking to them about it. However, it is important to recognize that children have a strong sense of what is going on whether they consciously realize it or not. Therefore, it is important for you to be honest and authentic in what is going on in the world. Give children the appropriate information for their age and emotional maturity.

It is also important to voice your own feelings about what is happening during the big change. “Mom/Dad is feeling a little extra stressed or worried because I have to work from home and make sure that you get your work done.” Or “I want to make extra sure that we wash our hands and keep this invisible germ away from us and our older loved ones. That is why we are

staying home.” When you model healthy expression of feelings (albeit, slightly watered down), you model for your children that it is OK to share big feelings and that there are healthy ways to do so.

Know That Regression and Stress Behaviors are Normal Children are so wise. If not going to school every day isn’t clue enough that something is off, they may recognize their caretakers are a little more stressed and may catch a clip too many of coronavirus news. In times of stress or big changes, it is normal and natural for you and your children to wake up more in the middle of the night, have tantrums (yes adults, too) and potty accidents (more children than adults).

Everyone’s routine is off, and it is important to not catastrophize their behavior. It is temporary.

It can be important to name the stress behaviors. A tool called “externalization” can help with naming the behavior. If you notice your child getting grumpy or hungry, you can make a name for their alter ego (the grumpy, hungry one), and notice their alter ego visiting. “It looks like Hank the Hungry man is coming to visit. I wonder if he is hungry right now.” This does not always work for every child. Nor does it work if the behavior has gone too far, but sometimes it can be a way to alleviate the strife and tension that regression and stress behaviors bring.

Manage Expectations At the beginning of this pandemic, many people thought, “Well, this will be a great time to clean out those closets, simplify life and get that “to-do” list completed!” The farther we get into this experience, the more we find that it is harder to get into regular clothes, let alone accomplish that dream list. It is incredibly important to be gentle with yourself and with others. There is so much grief happening right now — grief from birthday parties not had, grief

from family and friends no longer visiting, grief from actual death and the inability to connect with those who are grieving — that it is hard to keep up with the ever-changing dynamics and tremendous feelings that flow through us. It is OK not to be “productive” during this period.

While you may have had beautiful images of your children being engaged in their homeschool “passion projects,” and delighting in a midday, colorful lunch where you all connect at the table, it is necessary to manage your expectations. If you need to get four hours of uninterrupted work or meetings completed, it is OK to allow your children to have four hours of screen time. Again, make sure you schedule it. Allow them to know when the screen time will be and then give them ability to expand and run out their energy outside (or inside the house, if necessary).

Lead with Love, Give Grace Because there are not too many rulebooks on global pandemic, please give yourself and others grace and love. Apologize when you have had that tantrum. Be playful when you would rather be consequential.

When you see your children or your co-parent struggling, give them a hug, give them love and lean in with compassion. Most importantly, offer compassion to yourself. Offering compassion to yourself is not giving up, it is giving yourself space to learn from a mistake and do better the next time — a concept, surely, you would want your children to learn.

Humans are incredibly resilient, children especially.

They will forgive you when you get it “wrong.” In offering love unconditionally and creating safety, you will model for your children what you so desperately need and deserve: unconditional love and safety. Be gentle with yourself and others.

how to help kids in

FOSTER CARE You can make a big difference in a child’s life during this time of uncertainty.

t

he need for foster care doesn’t stop during a pandemic. Even during this time of global crisis, there are children facing their own personal crises who need foster homes and support from caring families and individuals. It takes a village to raise a child, and that saying especially rings true right now.

Fostering a child is an important commitment, and it might not be the right choice for every family. We are grateful to the Dayton-area families who foster children and welcome them into their homes. But even if you aren’t in a position to foster a child yourself at the moment, there are still many ways to support these children and their foster families.

donate resources Children in foster care need the same resources as other children.

“We always accept gift cards to restaurants and grocery stores that we use to provide food for families or take kids out to eat,” says Sara Faison, foster care and visitation supervisor at Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, which helps children throughout Ohio. Though the agency doesn’t have the facility to store items, “donations are accepted at Christmas when we are providing gifts to children,” Faison says.

14

DAYTONPARENTMAGAZINE.COM I May / June 2020

When in doubt, money is always a good thing to donate.

“Monetary donations are the best because we can use those to help meet ongoing or special needs as they arise,” says Emily Ballard, marketing and outreach coordinator for Focus on Youth.

share your time Donations of your time are always in need, and there are many opportunities for those wishing to volunteer. “We love and need volunteers to provide childcare at our monthly foster parent meetings,” Ballard says. “Volunteering at our agency events is also a big help. We use volunteers to help organize our Clothing Closet, assist at our annual training conference and foster family Christmas party, and provide childcare for any of our annual events.”

Simply being willing to work alongside a foster family and assist wherever there is a need can be the best kind of support. That may be helping with yard work, providing a meal here and there, or helping drive kids to various appointments. For more information on volunteering with Focus on Youth, visit the web site at FocusOnYouth.com/get-involved.

provide respite care “Respite care provides temporary relief for our full-time foster parents who need a few days to themselves, or who may be dealing with a personal emergency of their own,” says Keri Carter-Moore, a team leader of foster parent recruiting at NECCO, which helps children in foster care situations in Dayton. “Respite care can be urgent or planned, lasting no longer than 14 days.”

Ballard adds: “Foster parents need breaks. But unlike most parents, they can’t ask just anyone to watch their foster children for a couple of days. So, respite care providers are a huge need. These are families who are willing to take foster children into their home for a few days at a time, giving foster parents that much needed break.

It’s a tremendous help and allows you to build supportive relationships with foster children without committing to foster parenting.”

become an ambassador NECCO ambassadors play a crucial role in building families by speaking up on behalf of those they serve, “from organized legislative outreach to collaborating with educators and community leaders, or even sharing our mission with friends and family via social media,” Carter-Moore says.

Though the training program is a commitment of time, the rewards are great. Ultimately, the greatest joy for a CASA volunteer is to guide a child into a permanent home. “Those interested in volunteering as a CASA worker can, within less than 6 months, advocate for an abused or neglected child, supported by a ProKids Advocacy Team,” Carter-Moore says. Learn more about becoming a CASA volunteer at ProKids.org/volunteer.

These are just some of the ways you can help a child in the foster system and the families who care for them. During this unprecedented time, these children in need can benefit greatly from a little more support and love from everyone.

PARENTING

WORDS BY THE AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION

Camp During a Pandemic With schools closed and child care options at a minimum, parents and carers may be struggling to entertain their kids.

With this in mind, many American Camp Association (ACA) accredited camps are rallying to keep the camp experience accessible with virtual camps. These camps are aimed at parents and carers whose regular plans were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and are likely juggling working from home with providing activities for their children.

Transforming their usual camp experience to online versions, these virtual camps are run primarily through social media channels, YouTube and Zoom, and include programming and parent resources.

Activities vary from nature walks, science talks, arts and crafts, patches to earn at home, and homework help, all while allowing kids to shelter in place.

The benefits of attending camp are now clearer than ever before, thanks to the ACA’s 5 Year Impact Study: a five-year-long research project looking into the effects of camp on

their campers and how camps prepare youth for college, careers and adulthood. Some of the key takeaways from the study were that camp helps develop independence, experience outdoor fun and adventure and develop an affinity for nature, relaxation, accepting difference, living life unplugged and creating self-confidence. Plus, how to make a good s’more.

As with other businesses and industries, The ACA is paying close attention to the ongoing developments related to COVID-19, but at this time, camps are still working hard to prepare for a fun and educational summer ahead. The ACA will continue to follow the CDC's guidance as we provide the camp community with resources and education. We encourage camps and families to use our webpage, Coronavirus Information for Camps (acacamps.org/resource-library/ coronavirus-information-camps), for resources that include updated CDC information, free camp communicable disease webinars, Association of Camp Nursing responses and much more continuously updated content. As of today, the ACA remains optimistic that camp will happen this summer.

Nature in Your Neighborhood While some kid-friendly summertime favorites may not be on the table this year, nature is always available, and it’s as easy to access as stepping into your back yard. Last spring, parents were asked to wear multiple hats: mom, dad, teacher, meticulous sanitizer and social distancing enforcer.

Let Five Rivers MetroParks pack your summer full of outdoor fun with some easy ways to keep your kids entertained and engaged in all the benefits nature has to offer.

Grow Something from Seed Whether you choose to plant a tiny pot of herbs, small garden bed or big plot of veggies, gardening is a great way for kids to be active, learn something new and use their senses.

According to community gardening coordinator Kate Lowry, Ohio is in zone six, which means it has a medium-length growing season.

Visit your favorite nature spots or step into your back yard to flip over rocks, peek at leaves and flowers, and see what’s crawling on trees. Take pictures of your favorite insects and then identify them later by visiting metroparks.org/natureisopen to find helpful links to naturalist smartphone aps and more.

Stargaze Warmer nights with clear skies create a great opportunity to explore the night sky. Download a free astronomy app on your phone — such as SkyView, SkySafari or SkyWiki — to learn more about the stars and constellations. Mark your calendar for August, when the Perseid meteor shower lights up the sky. According to Space.com, you can expect the Perseids to peak in the early hours of August 12, when you can see up to 75 meteors per hour.

Go Birdwatching

Blow Bubbles and See How Far They Float

You can spot a variety of birds in Ohio during the warm-weather months. Make a DIY birdfeeder and place it in your back yard to see which birds you attract. Head to your favorite outdoor space, be still and see how many birds you can

Bubbles are a go-to for summer fun.

Have a friendly competition to see who can make the biggest bubble, the longest-lasting bubble and whose floats the furthest. Out of bubble solution? For the best bubbles, The DIY Network uses 2 cups of

hot water, 1/4 cup of dish soap, 1 (0.25 oz) packet of gelatin and 2 tablespoons of glycerin.

Listen for Nocturnal Animals Heading to your back yard or local greenspace at night is a great way to discover sounds — and maybe even sights — you won’t experience during the day. Let your eyes adjust to the dark and keep your ears open.

You may see the glowing eyes of nocturnal animals and fireflies, and hear many insects, birds and other wildlife. Nocturnal animals are primarily active during the night.

According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, some native nocturnal animals are opossums, southern flying squirrels, certain species of mice, voles, bats, badgers and racoons.

Go on a Bug Hunt Warm-weather months are perfect for observing all kinds of insects.

While some may think of all bugs as pests, many insects are integral to the environment. For example, bees and butterflies are responsible for

Play Sensory Activities Parents with early learners can explore nature through sensory activities. Splash in rainwater, make mud pies, touch rocks with different surfaces, smell and touch a variety of flowers and paint with leaves.

Important for early learning development, sensory play helps little ones build motor skills, encourages problem solving and builds nerve connections in the brain.

Know Before You Go While these activities can be done in your back yard or neighborhood, some can also be done in a MetroPark. However, many park amenities were closed due to COVID-19, so visit metroparks. org/covid for the most recent news on closures.

Whenever you and your family are spending time outdoors, follow the CDC’s recommendations, especially for social distancing, so you’re safe and healthy while exploring the outdoors.
