Message from Mayor Kawakami & DOE Superintendent Bill Arakaki Aloha and congratulations to all of our Kaua‘i graduates! I am so very proud of each and every one of you, and I offer my best wishes on your upcoming endeavors! Summer is a time for us to enjoy the beauty of Kaua‘i, from spending time surfing and fishing in the water to camping and taking in the scenery outdoors to other wonderful activities our island offers. It is a time for us to reconnect with our families and loved ones. Over the break, I encourage our families to create lasting memories and enjoy the time you have with one another. Mahalo to Kaua‘i Family Magazine for assisting our community in finding programs and activities that are fun for everyone – from keiki to kupuna! I hope you all enjoy a safe and relaxing summer! With Warmest Aloha,
Derek S. K. Kawakami Mayor, County of Kaua‘i Aloha! Summer will be upon us in just a few months! Students, parents and families will be preparing for Graduation celebrations, embarking on family vacations and many wonderful activities when the school closes for students on May 31, 2019. I encourage students and families to take advantage of the many activities and programs sponsored by the State, County and community organizations! I am truly grateful for Kauai Family Magazine’s continued support by providing Kauai families with access to valuable information pertinent to available programs and services. In closing, I wish everyone a safe and fantastic summer with family and friends. We must continue to work together as a community; to attain the dreams and aspirations of our children and to teach and prepare our children of Kauai to be college and career ready. Mahalo!
William N. Arakaki Kauai Complex Area Superintendent
Article Title Koloa Plantation Days Celebrates
“The Year of the Paniolo”
Preparations are now underway for this year’s 34th annual Koloa Plantation Days Festival, to be held July 19-28th throughout Koloa and Poipu. Over 10 days, over 30 events will feature all aspects of plantation life and highlight the natural beauty and community of the Koloa area including a rodeo weekend, “talk stories” on local history and plantation life, live music and culinary events spotlighting our cultural roots, guided historic walks and events for keiki.
For many rodeo families, this is a whole family affair with riders from 5 years old to 78 years old.
Joyce and Jimmy Miranda have been hosting this event at CJM Stables with the Kauai Rodeo Cub for 20 years. For many rodeo families, this is a whole family affair with riders from 5 years old to 85 years old. This year, their granddaughter Savannah is riding Blueberry.

This year’s festival features “The Year of the Paniolo”. The festival opens with the Koloa Plantation Days Rodeo weekend reflecting Hawaii’s paniolo heritage.

Koloa was the site of the state’s first commercial sugar mill in 1835. Koloa Plantation and those who followed brought contract laborers from Asia and Europe to work in the fields and the mills. Where they lived in plantation camps, the workers from each country shared the foods, music, stories, and traditions of their homelands. Koloa Plantation Days commemorates these diverse cultures and how they were shared as a part of plantation life.

The Friday Night Rodeo Bash opens the festival on July 19th, with a “pau hana” sunset feel, the smell of BBQ and live Country music following a day of preliminary roping. The rodeo action on July 20 and 21st, starts on Saturday at 11am with a Rodeo Grand Entry, leading into two days of fierce competition among riders, some of which come in from across the state. Highlights include barrel racing, team roping, Hawaii events like Poo’ Wai u, keiki events and of course bull-riding. Families come out in their rodeo best, pack

more than 30 events. Most events are inexpensive or free and family friendly – a perfect way to introduce Kauai’s plantation heritage and the “year of the Paniolo” to youth and keiki this year.
Paniolo culture is also a highlight of the annual Koloa Plantation Days parade through Koloa town. This year’s colorful parade on Saturday, July 27th entries will highlight the theme “The Year of the Paniolo” with floral floats, walking and equestrian units, decorated vehicles, vintage cars, and a marching band. This year riding units are expected to be more than ever, with the participating of Pa’u riders, alongside the Kauai All Girls Rodeo Club, Kauai Keiki and High School Rodeo Association, and the Kauai Rodeo Club and CJM Stables. After the parade, guests stroll down to Knudsen (Koloa) Ball Park for celebration featuring top tier music and entertainment, Kauai’s largest craft fair, keiki rides and activities, authentic local foods spotlighting Kauai’s diverse cultures. During the week, paniolo heritage will take front and center stage during the Visit www.koloaplantationdays.com for more information and a full schedule of events. Mahalo to the Hawaii Tourism Authority and the local businesses, families, resorts and organizations who make the Festival possible each year.

Summer Camp The Benefits of Sending Kids to a Day Camp Summer camps are a wonderful option for parents looking for ways to keep their kids busy while having fun. They can offer great opportunities for your child to socialize, learn new skills, expand their horizons, grow as individuals, and, of course, make new friends. 20 www.kauaifamilymagazine.com www.kauaifamilymagazine.com
Build independence Camp is a great place for kids to explore their own independence, and day camp is no different. Kids are dropped off at camp in the morning where they are challenged with new activities they may not get the opportunity to try at home. They will make friends, eat lunch and follow directions without the help of their parents. Kids start to feel more self-confident and independent as the week goes on.
Learn new skills Day camps typically offer opportunities to learn and grow in areas that children may not be exposed to at school. Kids can pick camps tailored to their interests, including a variety of sports, music, dance, theater, science, arts, nature exploration and more. If your child is drawn to a particular activity or subject, chances are there is a camp to interest him. Kids who are not particularly drawn to academics will thrive in day camps because they are rewarded for their talents and interests.
Make new friends While you may sign your child up for a camp with a friend, she will meet many new people her age. Children gain confidence as they learn to talk to and work with people they have never played with previously. The opportunity to make friends with children that share similar
interests and a fun new experience helps kids feel more comfortable when they are in new situations.
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. 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 problemsolving and leadership skills, improved confidence and an openness to new things. Depending on the camp, youngsters 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 sports camps and they faced their fears while trying the camp obstacle course. These experiences will stay with your children throughout life as they face challenges and successes in the future.
As you are deciding whether day camp is right for your family, consider what type of camp would interest your child most. Choose something you know he will be successful at and consider inviting a friend to sign up with your child. This can make him more comfortable that first day. Let your child help you choose the right camp and then let him know you think he will do great.

PARENTING WITH PURPOSE Healthy Self-Care Makes Better Parents
Some of the best parenting advice around comes from the instructions given by flight attendants just before take off: “If traveling with young children, please put on your own oxygen mask before assisting your child.” Why? Because no one can be helpful if they pass out from lack of oxygen. The same is true of parenting. If you run out of steam, you will run out of everything you need to parent well— energy, patience, creativity, perseverance, will-power—it’s a long list. Enter healthy self-care. Self-care is critical, but what to do about the pangs of guilt that can come with taking time away from parenting duties? And how to find the time in an already crowded schedule of raising kids? Let’s address guilt first: self-care is the opposite of selfishness. Without it, parents grow weary as the energy required to care for little ones is depleted. Taking time to refresh and reconnect to who you are in addition to “Mommy” or “Daddy” renews the strength and enthusiasm necessary for parenting well. Healthy self-care increases patience and decreases stress. This is especially true for parents of a child with special needs, single parents, or in families where a parent works especially long hours or is deployed. SO HOW TO FIND THE TIME? The best way to make self-care part of parenting life is to incorporate it into a regular routine. Then you’ll be more likely

to keep it up, thinking of it as a necessary part of your day, not just a once-in-awhile treat (although once-in-awhile treats are nice, too). HERE ARE WAYS TO WEAVE HEALTHY SELF-CARE INTO DAILY LIFE. Wake up before the family. Set the alarm for one hour before the kids wake up. Use the time to do whatever inspires and motivates you—read, workout, write in a journal or take a relaxing bath. Starting the day with a little breathing room will help you feel more relaxed and energized for the day ahead.
and housekeeping are both time-consuming jobs. If you’re feeling the pressure of trying to keep up, consider hiring someone to help. Professional housekeeping services are available weekly, monthly or as needed. Shop around for the service that fits your family’s needs and budget. Or get creative and offer to swap housekeeping time with family or friends—once a month one of you takes the kids while the other one cleans in peace. ALLOW THE KIDS TO PLAY INDEPENDENTLY.

How to Prepare for a Natural Disaster during Pregnancy Preparing for a natural disaster can be emotionally and physically taxing, but that stress level can easily double when you’re pregnant. Fortunately, there are preparedness steps you can take now so that you and your loved ones will be safe in the event of a hurricane, flash flood or other emergency. Here are suggestions of what to do for expectant parents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: • Discuss your health care plan with your provider. Know where to go to receive prenatal care in the event your doctor’s office is closed. • If you’re close to your due date, come up with a plan of where you’ll deliver your baby. Have a backup in place should the medical center be inaccessible, or if you need to evacuate to a shelter. Parents-to-be should keep their physical strength up by drinking plenty of clean water and resting as often as possible. To relieve emotional stress, reach out to a family member, friend or health care provider about your concerns and feelings. Most importantly, stay informed by checking for updates from your emergency management
• If evacuating, tell the staff as soon as possible that you are pregnant and if you have any health problems. • Continue to take prenatal vitamins and prescription medicines as directed. • Schedule a prenatal or postpartum checkup as soon as it is safe to do so, even if it is not with your usual doctor. Let them know if you need help getting prenatal vitamins or prescription medications. agency, or by signing up for emergency alerts on your cell phone. Find evacuation and shelter

Article Title An Outlet for our Kupuna and Caregivers There is increasing evidence showing that leisure activities, such as mental and social activities, have beneficial effects on a variety of health outcomes, particularly for maintaining functional ability during the aging process and reducing the risk of common agerelated chronic diseases. The National Institute of Health published a study that demonstrates using Skype software to increase social ties, which proved to enhance both physical and mental health in the elderly. It’s truly amazing that by using simple human connection and interaction, even on Skype, you can improve your state of well-being, at any age.

Toni talks about volunteering at the senior center in her later years, and is able to speak fluent Japanese. Toni says “I’m the type to talk” and I made friends here (at Kauai Adult Day Health Center). She goes on to say, my best advice is: Don’t stay home alone, there’s always a place to go. Lichelle Iida is Toni’s primary caregiver and granddaughter. Lichelle says that she and her two daughters are grandma’s family here on Kauai. Lichelle recalls Grandma Toni taking care of her when her mom was at work. Lichelle would walk to Tip Top Restaurant after school to wait for Toni. Before moving in with Lichelle, Toni lived alone at Lihue Gardens. One day, during a doctor’s visit, the doctor recommended that Toni should not take her medication without supervision. Lichelle opened her home, and along with her daughters, took grandma in. Lichelle was referred to Kauai Adult Day Health Center by the Kauai County’s Agency on Elderly Affairs (hereinafter “Elderly Affairs”). Lichelle says that working with Elderly Affairs has really helped with caring for her grandmother. The Elderly Affairs helped Lichelle find the Adult Day Health Center and assisted in

Lichelle states that a caregiver used to come to their house to spend time with grandma, but grandma needed more. Since Toni started attending the center, her attitude changed and she looks forward to attending, even on the weekends! At the center, Toni is able, and is offered the opportunity, to live up to her title, “Most Gregarious”. Toni has the opportunities to connect and interact with her peers. She is lively, spunky, and so independent. She receives compassionate care, socialization and friendships, but also reciprocates it freely from her heart, whether she knows it or not. Toni is a treasured kupuna and she and her family resonate success in aging in place on the island of Kauai. Lichelle’s advice is to go to the Agency on Elderly Affairs so they can help you. Lichelle also says, “Don’t take it personal.” Grandma Toni says things, but Lichelle, takes it with a grain of salt. Life is better that way.

Article Title 5 Qualities of a Good Neighbor By Leah Ragsac, (RS)
One of the most important aspects of a nice living environment is the neighborhood itself. Homebuyers can investigate the local schools, parks, and nearby activities, but it’s harder to know if they have good neighbors or not until they are actually living in the home. Neighbors are a big concern for new homebuyers, and they are curious to know who lives next door. Neighbors become part of your daily life. Being a good neighbor is a great way to ensure that you fit into the area well and receive the same kind of respect in return. Here are a few qualities of a good neighbor:
Be Friendly But Not Overly Familiar. Respect boundaries but always present a smiling, friendly attitude while interacting with your neighbors.
Respect Quiet Times. Generally accepted quiet times, such as early mornings or late evenings are a given, but be respectful of playing loud music or activities during other times as well. Keep Your Home and Yard Clean. Keep

the appearance of the home up to the standards of the neighborhood. This will help maintain the value of your home and can affect the value of your neighborhood.
Watch Out for Your Neighborhood. If you see suspicious activity or hear of any concerns in your neighborhood, let you neighbors know. Handle Situations Like An Adult. If an issue arises, address it quickly and maturely with your neighbor. Always show kindness first. Ultimately, while you can choose where to live, you can’t choose your neighbors. As we all become good neighbors, it will cause a ripple effect and make our communities a happier place to live.

Summer Fun, Water Smart By Kauai Department of Water Turning on the sprinkler or filling up a backyard pool is sure to provide hours of fun for kids of all ages! However, these hours can turn into dollars if you’re not careful. Here are a few water conservation tips on how to be conscious of your water usage when cooling off this summer. 1 Let the kids play while you water the yard. Set aside days of the week with specific times when the kids can go out and play under the sprinkler. 2 Consider water-efficient rotary nozzles for your sprinklers. These nozzles spray water more slowly and in uniform patterns. They are known to irrigate more efficiently and use up to 2% less water. 3 Reuse pool water. If you’re filling up an inflatable pool without a filter, it will probably need to be emptied a few days after use. If it’s just tap water, then reuse it to water your plants, gardens and landscaping.
4 Once your lawn has been watered sufficiently, turn off your sprinklers. Set a timer on your clock or cell phone to turn your sprinklers on/off after a specific time. Over watering is wasteful and may flood your landscaped areas. 5 Minimize your water use and maximize the fun. Fill a shallow plastic tub with water and add some water toys for a fun wet activity. Your water use is limited by the size of the tub you use.
Enjoy the outdoors and stay cool this summer!

Grove Article Farm: Title Building a Sustainable Kaua’i Grove Farm and agriculture always went hand-in-hand. As a responsible use of our water resources, we are dedicated to promoting our local economy by providing farmers the opportunity to till the land and grow what they want. Fruits, flowers, livestock, and vegetables flourish from the lands they care for, providing locally grown produce for us to enjoy here on Kaua’i. Grove Farm wants to feature some of these hard-working farmers in each issue of Kauai Family Magazine. For their complete story, visit grovefarm.com/grove-farm-story
Ron Ota Ron Ota cares for a ten-acre plot located in the Puhi Area. Being a third-generation farmer, he enjoys being in the fields and now cultivates the same area his grandparents started in 1910. Ron grows heliconia, ginger, fruit trees and many other plants to name. He also owns and operates a floral design business called Ota-Bana. He doesn’t do it for the money, but rather for his love of tropical flowers. Growing up on a farm may have been a burden on anyone else, but Ron says it was a joy and prepared him for what he does now. “I was honored and blessed to grow up here,” He says. “I am very happy to be able to continue it.”
Chris Kauwe Chris Kauwe is a surfing instructor by day and beekeeper if the swells get too choppy. He has been in the beekeeping business for almost 20 years and is the proud owner of Honi Honi Honey. His stock of hives sits in the Pu’u Honi crater in Koloa. Naming his business after its location, honi means to kiss; but honi honi means to give more than a kiss. That’s exactly what you receive when indulging in this local award-winning honey. Chris enjoys meeting customers face-toface and believes the local feel keeps customers coming back and asking for his Honi Honi Honey by name.

Will this Summer be Different from last Summer? Summertime issue already. Nothing makes 3 months go by faster than when I receive my notice that it’s time to submit the next quarter’s Kauai Family Magazine piece.

advocates and professionals. I’ve learned to no longer stress myself too much about whether our year’s numbers are up or down, even though each “number” represents a terrible family tragedy. I recall one recent year when we “only” suffered 3 drownings and I got thinking “Wow, maybe all our work is making a difference.” Then the next year we suffered 17, and we were right back to our annual average of 10 drownings per year. About the only statistical solace that I do take comfort in is that our yearly average hasn’t increased significantly, even as our number of beachgoers has doubled in the last 5 years. (Our Lifeguards record these numbers). A huge difference between summer 2018 and summer 2019 is that the road from Hanalei to Ke’e will presumably have re-opened. Hopefully, please God, the State and the County will have installed volume restriction measures so that the
Haena/Wainiha area won’t be overrun as it was preceding the April 2018 flood. One thing is certain: Our Ke’e and Haena Beach Park Lifeguards will be poised to do their job no matter what volume increase does take place. A significant Kauai safety improvement that took place in this year that the Haena road was closed (except to residents via the scheduled “convoys”) is that the County added 2.5 new Lifeguard positions in order to increase a North Shore roving patrol Lifeguard presence, primarily at Anini, and also to a lesser extent at Kalihiwai and even the Larsens trailhead. This presence makes Anini much safer but please, always remember our #1 piece of advice: “Please swim near a LIfeguard.” I.e., If the roving unit is not at Anini, don’t swim there until they arrive. Thank you to our Mayor and Councilors who understood this need and acted on it. Back though to summer and swimming: Summertime means less chance of
A SIDE NOTE: During the process that took place in order to get the 2.5 new positions, many of us learned that the ancient Hawaiian name for “Anini” is actually “Wanini.” I’m not sure when the “W” got dropped, but we’re hoping to bring “Wanini” back into the working vocabulary. Hopefully some day soon, out of respect to our Hawaiian forebears, the road sign and other modalities will be changed to “Wanini Beach Park.” It’ll take some getting used to but it has strong cultural meaning.

large North and West swells. Less is not zero, however, and what this means is that walking on rocky ledges (and I purposefully won’t, ahem, mention any names) is still a high risk proposition, particularly if you are a visitor who isn’t familiar with how slippery these ledges can be, and with how much damage a stumble and fall can do. Visitors will see local youth having all kinds of fun both on these ledges and jumping off these ledges — and it’s our “local” responsibility to guide these visitors (assuming they are there and I regret having to write that they will be) and to work with them to be careful. Conversely, summertime means a higher likelihood of swells hitting our southern shores. We have good lifeguarding going on there — and that’s the key again: Please swim at guarded beaches. We have our stationary towers at Poipu Beach Park (2 of them) and Salt Pond and Kekaha. And we having a roving unit, which means that Lifeguards will be checking out areas that don’t have towers, areas such as Shipwrecks and

Beach House Beach to name the 2 most populated areas that are not towered. Our recommendation regarding these beaches is that you swim there only when you see that the roving unit is there — assuming you want to be safe. Speaking of the Southside, Shipwreck’s Cliff is, of course, on the South Shore. In the last 5 years our hospital Trauma Registry has recorded 18 major injures suffered by “jumpers.” No deaths, but some of the severely injured people (for example people with broken backs and ruptured spleens) survived only because of heroic Shipwrecks beachgoers who swam out and helped them to shore and the awaiting ambulance. (As is the case with Kauai aquatic injuries and deaths across the board, 75% of the injured are visitors, 25% locals.) The Kauai Lifeguard Association approached the landowner, Grove Farm, with this Registry data. Grove Farm, after careful consultation with their attorneys and designers, stepped up and put up

2 signs right at the spot where people make their jump. This installation took place around 3 months ago. It sounds like a simple project but it wasn’t at all. The Maha’ulepu area is in a strict State Conservation zone, and to get these signs approved required filling out a number of cumbersome DLNR application forms. Whether or not people heed these signs remains to be seen. It may take a couple of years before we find out whether this effort affects our Trauma Registry data. For now though, all hats off and many thanks to Grove Farm for taking the responsible action that they did. One final note to mention: Summertime is Junior Lifeguard time. Last year this free program enrolled almost 600 of our
youth and keiki. It may be too late by the time this issue comes out, but if you read this and are interested in enrolling your child, you can call Ocean Safety Bureau Secretary Lauryn Duterte at 241-4984, or navigate your way through the County website. (Just takes a couple of minutes if you’re more computer-facile than I am). Your child will have a fun and instructive week at various beach sites around Kauai learning ocean skills, safety skills for themselves and for others, CPR skills, drug awareness education, and more. I wish you all a wonderful and safe summer. Monty Downs

Summer Fun Ideas for the Family Photo by Bryce Johnson
Summer is here and Kauai is arguably the best place in the world to spend time with your family. Here are some ideas for fun family activities that you can enjoy this summer. It goes without saying that summer on Kauai means going to the beach with your family. Kauai has miles of coastline, and numerous lifeguarded beaches. Beaches also offer abundant opportunities to try new activities. You can teach the kids to surf, stand up paddle, kayak, snorkel, boogie board, fish or just do some beachcombing. Lydgate Beach Park is the best of both worlds for families with children. The extensive community-built Kamalani playground includes a spiral volcano slide and swinging bridge. After wearing out the kids on the playground, you can cross the street for a cool dip in one of the protected swimming ponds.

Get on your bike and ride The Path. The Kauai Path (kauaipath. org) offers 4.1 of beautiful scenic coastal views. There are plenty of places to stop and explore and the pavilions will offer you a shady spot to cool off and enjoy a picnic lunch. Also great for walkers and baby strollers! Take a drive up to the Keahua Arboretum where you can enjoy a refreshing change from the hot sunny beaches. Pack a picnic lunch and let the kids take a dip in the freshwater stream while you enjoy the cool mountain breezes. Explore the many wonders of Koke`e. Stop by the Koke`e Museum and let the docents help you find the perfect hike
for the skill level of your family. Koke`e is a great place to learn about and enjoy Kauai’s native flora and fauna. Keep your eyes open, you may discover something you have never seen before. Take the keiki for a train ride. Did you know that there is more than one place to take a train ride here on Kauai? Kauai is rich in railway history and you can learn more about it by taking a train ride on the Kauai Plantation Railway at Kilohana or on the oldest surviving plantation locomotive in Hawaii through the Grove Farm Museum.
Enjoy the gardens of the Garden Isle. National Tropical Botanical Gardens. Take a self-guided tour through acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, or join one of their educational programs. If you haven’t taken your kids to Na `Aina Kai Childrens Garden, be sure to take advantage of one of their Keiki Day Events. The kids will enjoy a playground on steroids. The centerpiece of the children’s garden is a 60ft sculpture of Jack in the Bean Stalk surrounded by a wading pool and fountains. Yes, bring the swimsuits. The playground also boasts a full-size tree house, mini log cabin, an
Indian village complete with slick rock and covered wagons, a wooden train and even a London style phone booth. Try your hand at golf. Take the kids to one of the local golf courses like Kukui`olono where you can enjoy stunning views, a Japanese Garden and of course nine holes of golf. If the kids are too small for a full size golf course, mini golf is a great way to introduce them to the sport.
Enjoy a summer festival. Every month is packed with summer festivals, most of them inexpensive and family friendly. Each festival highlights something different – from cultural festivals, to 4th of July fireworks, to celebrating Plantation history or checking out the petting zoo at the County Fair, There’s something for kids and parents too, often featuring high quality entertainment at low prices. Check out Our Family Favorites on pages 12-15. Whatever you do, be sure to get out, get active and enjoy spending time with your family this summer.

SUMMER LEARNING
Wondering how to help your child retain reading, writing and math skills she gained over the school year this summer without making it feel like work? Weave learning into daily errands and interactive activities found in your own backyard. Summer is a great opportunity for parents to participate and come up with projects on their own and learn what their kids are interested in.
knowledge and skills gained during the school year. Teachers generally spend the first two months of school reviewing past material.
According to the National Summer Learning Association, students who don’t participate in any summer enrichment or educational activities lose about 22 percent of
Help your children make the connection between what they learn in school and how the material relates to the real world. They’ll retain more of their new skills and grow into more engaged, enthusiastic learners.
Calculate Tips Grocery Shop
Dictate your grocery list to your child and have him keep track of the list. As you shop, talk about prices, sales and healthy choices.
Visit a Farmers Market
Cooking Together
Next time you and your family eat dinner out, help your child determine the tip when the bill arrives.
Peruse seasonal produce native to Kauai. Ask about fruits and veggies you and your kids have never heard of before. Practice math skills by giving your child a list, a budget and some money to shop at the market.
Involve your child in meal planning and preparation. Depending on your child’s age, put him in charge of a meal once a week. Following a recipe also helps your child practice fractions and reading.

Grow a Garden Play Travel Agent.
Your child can learn more about her environment by cultivating her own fruits and vegetables. No room in your yard? Grow a container garden together. Your child can take pictures or make notes in a daily gardening notebook detailing the life cycle of the plant, any problems encountered and how she worked to solve those issues.
Thanks to the Internet, your child can easily research your family’s vacation or a hometown field trip. Give her a list of questions to answer about the location, cost and hours of a specific site she wants to visit. Continue the learning when you arrive at your destination.
Explore Nature
Apply what your child has learned in life science to your backyard. Talk about different birds, bugs, and how flowers and trees grow. Botanical gardens and nature outreach centers offer inexpensive classes and camps.
Got a bug or plant enthusiast? Have him grab the camera and go on a scavenger hunt for different species. When he’s done he can make a digital presentation of his discoveries. Many elementary kids know how to use multi-media even more than parents. They find it fascinating and think it’s fun.
Go Digital
Nuture Creativity Journal
Purchase an inexpensive journal or notebook that your child can personalize. Write a prompt or a question at the top of the page. Take turns writing messages and stories back and forth.
Read Together Practice Time Management
Art education enhances creative thinking, motor skills and social and emotional development. Have a splatter paint party on canvas in your backyard. Water color on textured paper. Make collages out of old magazines.
Summer is the perfect time to help your child find books and magazines that match his interests. Read together or start an informal book club with your child and a few friends. Schedule an afternoon to discuss the selection over milk and cookies.
Assign a weekly project for your children with a deadline to help them practice time management skills. They can select and research a specific topic, create a digital slide show about what they learned and then present it to you or extended family.

Behind the Scenes with Parent Trudi Shim
At Play Program at 5 years old and can’t wait until she’ll be old enough to participate in the summer production. We tell everyone that theatre is our sport. It’s their favorite thing to do – where they want to be.
Q:
What impact has it had on your kids and family?
A:My husband and I are
Q:
How did you get involved with Hawaii Children’s Theatre?
A:
After our family moved home in 2015, we enrolled our 6-year-old daughter Skylar in HCT’s Summer Stars after a Google search for summer activities. Five weeks of singing, acting and dancing - she couldn’t get enough of it. That year she was too young to do the PM production, but Skylar watched the older kids and was mesmerized. The instructors are AMAZING and relate to the kids. Set the bar high, and the kids rise up!
Q: What are your kids doing
with HCT now?
A:
Skylar does Summer Stars every year and performed in Newsies last Fall show. Our daughter Rory started Keiki
both huge advocates of arts and music for kids. We feel that theatre expands their world by exercising their imagination. They interact with a wide range of colorful characters and practice cooperation, tolerance, and empathy. And it’s hard work! It requires body strength and mental focus to dance, sing, run scenes, and improvise when things go wrong in front of an audience. Most importantly, they love it.
Q:
What would you say to other families that are thinking of getting involved in HCT?
A:
I would say if you have a child who loves to dance, sing, and act, then jump in! Maybe start by bringing them to see an HCT production, then sign them up if it feels right. They’ll meet cool people, improve their skills, and shine on stage.

Every Season is Heartworm By Ella Arume Season in Hawaii Heartworm aka Dirofilaria Immitis, is just what it sounds like. It’s a worm that grows in dog hearts. These worms are transmitted between dogs via mosquitos. Dogs aren’t the only ones affected by these little parasites, cats can get them too. Although both can die from an infection, cats are more sensitive to them. Hawai’i is a great environment for mosquitos because it’s warm and humid all year long. That means that unlike places that are drier or have a snowy winter, we have to worry about our pets getting heartworm all the time. How does an animal get heartworms? First a mosquito bites an infected dog (or cat) and takes in some of their blood, which contains the heartworm larvae. In the mosquito, the heartworm larvae matures into its infective stage. The mosquito then flies around, finds another dog, bites him and bam! he is infected with heartworms. Treatment options for heartworm are limited, expensive, and dangerous. In order to kill the heartworms, your Symptoms of Heartworm in dogs: • Chronic cough • Trouble breathing • Swollen limbs and belly • Exercise intolerance (won’t exercise like they used to) • Sudden death
veterinarian must administer a drug containing arsenic which will make your dog feel sick. Because the medicine helps break apart the heartworm, your dog will need to have limited exercise for 6 months or until your veterinarian deems your dog heartworm free. This will help ensure that a piece of worm doesn’t get stuck in a place like their lungs or brain, and to help their body heal. Also, treatment is only available for dogs, which is unfortunate for the poor kitties. Luckily, there are many medications available to Prevent heartworm from affecting your pets! Go to your veterinarian and get a prescribed monthly heartworm preventative for your pet. The key to stopping heartworm is preventing infection. Symptoms of Heartworm in cats: • Coughing • Intermittent vomiting (not around feeding time) • Trouble breathing • Decreased appetite and weight loss • Sudden death

Three Easy Solutions for Stink Breath
Article Title
By Michael Lutwin DDS Kalaheo Dental Group
At a recent Health & Wellness Day at Waimea Canyon Middle School, each 8th grade class asked about the same thing: What causes “stink breath,” and how can it be avoided? Stink breath, or halitosis, is more than just a middle school worry. We all experience bad breath occasionally, usually the result of eating certain foods. However, if funky breath persists, you might need to be more proactive.
1. Clean Your Tongue Food and bacteria can collect on your tongue. Invest in a “tongue scraper” and use it every time you brush your teeth.
2. Drink Plenty of Water Smoking, coffee, and certain medications may cause dry mouth. When there isn’t enough saliva in your mouth to wash away bacteria and food particles, bad breath
happens. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water throughout the day.
3. Brush and Floss After Every Meal and Have Regular Professional Cleanings Food and bacteria that isn’t removed will give off odors. Over time, this plaque calcifies into tartar, which causes inflamed gums to trap even more debris in a downward, smelly cycle. Take heart! Bad breath can usually be eliminated, but it can be a symptom of a more significant problem like gum disease or a medical condition. If stink breath is more than an occasional nuisance, let your dentist know!

Tips to throwing a magical party Looking for a party idea where the kids can get their bling on, horse around with their friends and have a magical time? If your children loves unicorns, we have a party plan that will knock their horsehoes off.
WHAT TO SERVE Rainbow Grilled Cheese- Use white cheese like swiss or mozzarella or combo of the two. Divide into four or five zipped bags and add 3-5 drops of food coloring. Seal and shake to spread color. Place cheese in rows of color or mix up for a swirly look. Cook grilled cheese as normal. Unicorn Nachos- Use bags of Bugle corn chips and add cheese, ground beef, tomatoes, avacados, or whichever nacho toppings you like best. Rainbow Drinks- Add candy sprinkles to ice cube tray and fill with water. When frozen, serve with light colored drinks like Sprite, lemonade or white grape juice. Unicorn Ice Cream Cones – Add vanilla frosting to the outside of ice cream cones and roll in sprinkles. Fill with your favorite ice cream and fruit flavored yogurt for a cool, sweet treat.
58 www.kauaifamilymagazine.com www.kauaifamilymagazine.com
GET CRAFTY Unicorn Horse Shoes- You will find unfinished horseshoes on Oriental Trading 12 for $5.19 or Amazon 48 for $12. Decorate with paint, hot glue, glue dots and the bling of your choice. Put wall hangers on the open end of the shoe so when you hang it, the luck doesn’t run out. Unicorn Garden- Purchase a terra cotta saucer, fill with coffee grounds, fish tan rocks or sand. Add moss for grass, a mini wooden birdhouse and mini unicorn. Decorate with colored stones or jewels. You can also paint the birdhouse or saucer to give it personal touch. Unicorn Hat- Choose a gold or silver party hat from the party store. Decorate with long ribbons, fabric, jewels, foam, or felt. Add your unique Unicorn Name to the hat with a name generator like NameGeneratorFun.com
PLAY SOME GAMES Find the Unicorn – Similar to an Easter egg hunt, hide plastic unicorns around
the party area. Place numbers on each unicorn to match with a prize. Unicorn Rubber Duck Water Race- You can find unicorn themed rubber duck at the party store. Move them down the race course by either squirting with a water gun, or blowing on them. Put numbers or names on them to see who winner is.
PARTY FAVORS Amazon offers Unicorn horn bath bomb molds. Create a simple bath bomb with a cup of Epson salt, a cup of cornstarch, 3 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add a few drops of essential oils. Mix together. Spray inside of molds with cooking spray or rub with coconut oil. Start packing the molds tightly. When half way filled you can add a small plastic toy surprise in the middle. Continue to pack until full. Let dry for 48 hours before removing.
MAKE IT A PARTY TO REMEMBER If you are looking to make your child’s party the talk of the playground, why not hire some help? • Rent a live white horse/unicorns to come for a photo shoot with the birthday child and guests. • Check for students to come in and braid the kids’s hair with ribbons. • Hire a face painter to create a unicorn mask and horn on the party guests.

First Day School Conquer the Fears! As families prepare their students for the school season, educators weigh in on best practices for managing the transition back to school. GET INTO A ROUTINE Before school starts, adjust your child’s bedtime and wake them up five to ten minutes earlier each day leading up to the first day. Also, post a morning task chart. By making a visual schedule, kids know what is expected and check off the pictures or word phrases as they do each one. If your child is ready on time, offer rewards like free time before school.
PLAN AHEAD Try to pick a day to get school supplies or school clothes when less people are shopping to help enjoy the time together.
LOG IN TO SCHOOL’S WEBSITE
special needs, which can heighten their sense of anxiety. Attend back-to-school events like meet –and-greets, and school orientations. These are a great way for students to walk around the building, get comfortable with their surroundings and re-connect or meet new friends.
DISCUSS FEARS Listen to your child’s concerns about the upcoming year. Offer strategies to help them work through them. For example, middle schoolers often worry about opening their lockers. Give them a combination lock to help them practice. If they are worried about making new friends, act out how to approach someone new or start a new conversation.
Most schools post everything from PTA information to upcoming events to curriculum information. Clicking on those links only takes a few minutes, but the information gained will be priceless.

Hash out transportation details with your child before school starts. If you plan to drive your child to school, do a dry run.
When you’re feeling sick, stay home. You want to spread love with your friends, but you don’t want to spread germs!
ENCOURAGE INDEPENDECE Many parents walk their kids in on the first day of school. After that, encourage your child to walk to class on their own to help build a sense of independence and responsibility. As kids approach middle school, encourage them to advocate and take responsibility for themselves. Allow your child to be more responsible for completing homework, packing their own lunches and cleaning/organizing their backpacks.

Managing First-Day Jitters Tips Tell your child how you manage anxiety-provoking transitions. Practice deep breathing. Remind yourself “you got this.” Go on a walk, shoot hoops, or bike ride. Hug a loved one. Talk it out.
CELEBRATE THE FIRST DAY Many families take photos in the same place every year. Others plan first day celebrations by visiting a favorite spot for a special treat.
MANAGE THROUGH BAD DAYS After a long day at school, your child might come home feeling irritable, tired or frustrated with a problem. Listen and empathize. Be careful not to jump in too quickly or over react to what is really a small problem or conflict. Instead, encourage creative problemsolving. If your child is complaining of anxiety –related tummy aches, make a plan with the school nurse or counselor. The most important thing is to get your student in the building. Don’t let them talk you into leaving- they’ll have stomach aches for the next two months.
CONNECT WITH TEACHERS Every educator wants every child to literally RUN to school because they can’t wait to be there. Share your child’s interests and hobbies to help teachers zero in on what gets

Kaua`i’s Kids Are Your Kids
Last year, one in 11 Kaua`i teenagers attempted suicide. In response to this alarming statistic, an action committee was formed and the Kaua`i Resilience Project was born to provide solutions and hope for the community. The group was created under the Kaua`i Planning and Action Alliance (KPAA) with funds administered by Hawai`i Community Foundation (HCF) and consists of representatives from several sectors and many organizations from education to health, social services, and the faith community. Experts in the field of mental health have established that there are 40 factors that build resilience in children and that resilience is key in curbing suicide. Some of these factors include extracurricular activities, youth empowerment, and setting boundaries. Adult support, whether from family, a teacher, a neighbor, etc., is one of the most critical factors to help young people grow into healthy, caring and responsible individuals. The Kaua`i Resilience Project, under the leadership of its chairman Councilmember Mason Chock, has launched a campaign to raise awareness of these resilience factors targeted to both adults and youth. “Our common goal is to build our young people’s ability to adapt to adversity and successfully navigate life’s challenges so they will lead enriched, fulfilled and purposeful lives,” said KPAA’s Executive Director Marion Paul. “We want to share the message that Kauai’s kids are all of our kids, and every one of us can contribute to this effort.” Darcie Yukimura, Hawai`i Community Foundation’s Director of Community

Philanthropy, stated, “The Kauai Resilience Project is also creating an action plan to build more protective factors around our youth, such as increasing safe places for young people to gather and programs that teach resiliency.” Mayor Derek Kawakami and other Kaua`i leaders have pledged their support for the effort.
