Letter From the Editor For Me, Elder Care Tour Is Personal

ne year after launching Lexington Family Magazine in 1997, I entered the Sandwich Generation. Our son Jack was 6 when I learned from my mother’s neighbor in Pennsylvania that Mom had health problems. Widowed for eight years, she had become forgetful, often refused to eat and could no longer drive safely. Stunned, I called her doctor. Bea was showing signs of dementia, he said. Working long distance, I hastily arranged for a caregiver to visit my mother daily. Within days, the caregiver called. “Your mother can’t live by herself anymore,” the caregiver said. “She needs to move into a home.” “When?” I asked. “Today.” Suddenly, we had to learn the ins and outs of long-term care, the difference between Medicare and Medicaid and the best treatments for dementia. By the end of a frantic day on the phone, we got lucky. The retirement community where my mom volunteered agreed to

accept her. When my family and I visited, we went to Mom’s house to gather some of her belongings. I was shocked by the conditions. I hadn’t realized how far things had deteriorated. I felt sad that she had been living this way. Because I was so unprepared, for the final 18 months of her life – Bea died in 1999 at age 72 – I spent too much time attending to the details of her care and not enough caring for her, talking with her and learning as much as I could about her. I’ve heard similar stories from others – the stress of caregiving is burdened by a feeling of being unprepared. That’s the reason Lexington Family Magazine started the Elder Care Tour. The 16th annual event is Sunday, Nov. 13, 1:30-5 p.m. (For details, please see Pages 22-23.) This is your chance to be prepared. So start your research now. Some day – and that could be tomorrow – you will be glad you did. Y

WHAT TO DO WHEN A CHILD BITES OR HITS

our 3-year-old daughter just bit the arm of your friend’s 3-year-old son. Hard. When your child bites or hits, it is normal for you to be overcome with strong feelings: embarrassment, fear, anger, powerlessness. Instead of just reacting out of those feelings, it’s better to do for yourself first what you want your child to learn to do: Calm down, think clearly, act consciously and with intention. What’s done is done, and the bite can’t be taken back. The learning happens when you plan for the next time and are ready with tools to approach the situation effectively. Consider these tips. Do: t Plan ahead how you will handle a biting or hitting child t Watch closely and stay nearby if you know your child is struggling with this problem t Stay calm t Move in quickly and gently t Say, “I see you are mad, but it is not okay to bite/hit.” t Be sure the injured child is tended to. t Remove the biting child from the situation, stay connected and help her to calm herself. t When she has calmed down, ask her to explain what she wanted. Ask for her ideas of better ways to get that. Suggest coming to you and asking for 8 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

help. You can help her with her words if she struggles to express herself. t Ask her what she can do to make up for biting/hitting. Help her repair damaged relationships. Don’t: t Don’t yell at, spank, slap or bite your child. You will be modeling just what you don’t want her to learn. t Don’t punish your child. Help her learn what to do or say instead. This may take some repetition, but it is well worth the investment of time and effort. t Don’t shame or humiliate your child. She needs your help, your patience and your support. t Don’t worry about what your parents, in-laws or other people present think about you. Their judgments don’t matter. Focus on your child and what she needs, and do what you know is right. Other helpful suggestions can be found in “The Biting Solution,” by Lisa Poelle and at www.ahaparenting.com. Children’s books include “Teeth Are Not for Biting” and “Hands Are Not for Hitting” by Martine Agassi and Marieka Heinlen. Dr. Lesley Iwinski is the mother of three grown children, a family physician and Executive Director of The Parent and Family Enrichment Center, Inc. and Growing Peaceful Families. She offers classes, workshops and seminars. Info: (859) 333-3053 or www. GrowingPeacefulFamilies.com. Y

PA R E NTI NG Q U E STIO N S ------------------------------------------

n the afternoon of Sept. 26, I received a group text stating that one of my best friends was in labor. Our group message exploded with excitement about the baby. None of us could wait to see his picture, learn his name and meet him in person. As the first one in my circle to become a mother, my thoughts shifted to how my friend’s world was about to change. I texted her: “Your heart is never going to be the same after today.” We all know that a baby changes your life, but until it happens to you, you don’t really know. During pregnancy you are excited to meet your child, nervous about being a parent and probably even scared of

his season marks the 21st year of Mission of Hope’s Christmas Campaign that serves students and their families in the poorest counties in Appalachia, more than half of which are in Kentucky. MOH, a Knoxville-based Christian charity, serves more than 18,000 students at 28 schools where nearly all of the students receive free or reduced lunch. MOH’s mission, says Executive Director Emmette Thompson, is like a tree with seven branches: Back to School, Healthcare, Day-to-Day Resource Distribution, College Scholarships, Construction, Evangelism and the Christmas Crusade. At Christmas, MOH volunteers from more than 40 Churches, including NorthEast Christian Church in Lexington, Versailles Baptist Church and Central Baptist in Paris, set up a “toy store” in each of the school gyms. As students and faculty gather round the “store,” which is hidden by a plastic covering, volunteers conduct a brief evangelical program before they pull back the plastic – and the faces of grateful children light up like Christmas trees. “It’s magical,” Thompson said. “I can’t tell you all that I’ve seen since I’ve been with this ministry. It’s humbled me in a way nothing else could.” People in Central Kentucky can help spread the Hope by dropping off new toys, new clothing, non-perishable food and hygiene products in the MOH Big Blue Barrels Friday, Nov. 18-Monday, Dec. 5. (See Red Box on this page for suggested donations.) Folks also can make tax-deductible donations. “The time has long since passed where the Big Blue Barrel collections fill all of our needs for children,” Thompson said. “That’s why your financial donations are more critical than ever before. We want the children of Appalachia to have a better life and a better future.” Y

randparents have been around the block when it comes to raising babies, but a lot has changed in the past 30 years or so. That’s where “Grandparent 101” comes in. Julie Six, owner of Baby Moon in Lexington, created the class, “Grandparent 101,” when she recognized a need to bridge the communication gap between parents-to-be and grandparents. “Time and time again, I hear about frustration with well-meaning loved

ones who desire to implement parenting standards they themselves used while raising their own children,” said Six, a mother of three. “While their parenting worked well for them, it doesn’t necessarily work for the new parents who have given thought and dedication to the way they would prefer their new addition to be raised.” Six describes the class as a casual, nonthreatening way to educate grandparents about generational differences in parenting. Grandparents will learn how they

can best care for the family unit during pregnancy and after the birth, as well as big changes in safety measures since they first were parents themselves. One example of a class topic is carseat safety. Grandparents will learn the current best practices for installing a car seat, strap protocols and safety standards. New parents may hesitate to ask grandparents to attend the class, because it can seem like an attack on their knowledge of child-rearing. One way to break the ice, Six suggests, is to use the class as a pregnancy announcement. “A gift certificate for Grandparent 101 would be a fun spin and it would be a non-threatening time in which to bring it up to grandparents,” she said. “I think parents-to-be can encourage grandparents that this isn’t just a class about how to soothe and feed a baby – we know they understand the basics.” Thanks to the Internet, new research and medical advances, information about child-rearing has drastically expanded. The class is a way for family members to all get on the same page about what is best for the baby, Six said. “Grandparents will take back all of the info that they learned and it will correlate with what Mom and Dad are learning,” she said. “They won’t be on polar opposite sides with information.” The first class will meet on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2-4:30 p.m. at Baby Moon, 2891 Richmond Road.

ife, energy, excitement – there are few words that better describe the new Lexington Senior Center, which opened in September in Idle Hour Park. Light pours in through 20-foot high floorto-ceiling windows. Participants smile and say hello as they amble through the huge open floors. The 33,000 square-foot, $13-million building was designed for older adults with active lifestyles. Workout rooms, card tables and openair patios spring to life with the hustle and bustle of the participants. The city broke ground on the new facility in October 2014. When it opened Sept. 15 of this year, 85 new members signed up. After three days, the center doubled its number of participants. Members must be Fayette County residents 60 or older, or the spouse of someone 60 or older, and must be physically independent. Caroline Hunt, 69, who was a participant for a year at the old site on Nicholasville Road, called the new building “a little piece of heaven.” EOP Architects designed the “little piece of heaven” with older adults in mind. There are no hallways, and doorways are double wide. The building could not be more accessible. The first floor is equipped with a doubleheight ceilinged multipurpose room with a stage, dining room and three ping-pong tables. Participants can enroll in academic courses in the two classrooms on the first floor. Teachers include retired professors, community elders and even Ben Chandler, the former U.S. congressman. Classes provided by the UK Donovan Scholars program are also offered. Also on the first floor are a library, an outdoor patio with teakwood tables and chairs and a raised flower bed. Near the

patio participants can play shuffleboard, pickle ball, bocce ball and croquet, or take walks on the nearly 1-mile long outdoor track that encircles the building. On the second floor, elevators open to more floor-to-ceiling windows. In two conference rooms, the Senior Center can host book groups and travel programs. Older adults can take percussion and piano lessons in the music room. In the two art rooms, volunteers and employees teach ceramics, pottery and china painting among other crafts. Eight card tables, three pool tables and a

TV occupy the open area of the second floor, brightened by skylights. When a reporter from Lexington Family Magazine visited the Senior Center, everyone was too busy playing pool, cards or doing some other activity to watch TV. Perhaps the most striking area of the second floor is the group fitness room that features a 15-foot high ceiling. During yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba and other aerobics classes, participants can look through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at refurbished Idle Hour Park. The nearby state-of-the-art exercise room has machines for every workout plan. Once people complete an orientation, they can use the equipment from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. A small area for lockers and a private shower are also available. The new Senior Center is a welcome change from the old building, said Kristy Stambaugh, director of Aging and Disability Services. “It’s awesome that the city recognized the

growing need of the aging population and dedicated resources to create this state-ofthe-art center to serve people in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s,” she said. “This is a place for lively, energetic older adults.” Stambaugh, who directs nine full-time and four part-time staffers, praised the architects for incorporating natural light and accessibility into the design. “This is a happy place with a purposeful, universal design,” Stambaugh said. “There is something for most people.” And it meets the needs of a growing demographic. By 2030, Fayette County is expected to have nearly 100,000 senior residents. Clearly, this is a building that honors and respects older members of the community, providing a cheerful place for relaxation, socializing and other activities. The smiling faces of the participants reflect that. Ernestine Tomlinson, 90, is a charter member of the original Senior Center, which opened in 1983 when she was 57 and her husband was 60. “I like it real well,” Tomlinson said about the new building. “It’s nice, they did a great job.” Tomlinson took a shuttle van from Bryan Station Road to play bingo at the new building. Hunt, the 69-year-old who called the new location “a little piece of heaven,” also came for bingo. For the ribbon cutting of the new facility in September, Hunt dressed up in some of her best clothes, suitable for the occasion. “When I left the old building, I took off an old coat,” she said. “When I walked through the new doors here, I put on a new coat,” Hunt said. “It is absolutely amazing.” To appreciate the vitality of the new building just check out the address: 195 Life Lane.

CDC Says No to Nasal Flu Vaccine

nfluenza season is upon us. Traditionally from October to May is the time of year when various strains of influenza virus start circulating in earnest in the U.S. Immunization against influenza can help prevent children and adults from contracting the disease. However, there are big changes in this season’s recommendations. The two main types of influenza virus are influenza A and influenza B. Both consist of multiple strains of influenza virus. The viruses tend to mutate readily and combine freely with strains from certain animals (swine and birds, for instance). This is why the influenza vaccine usually differs from year to year. The World Health Organization, with input from the CDC, decides what strains of influenza should go into the influenza vaccine for the upcoming flu season. Because it takes six months to grow the influenza strains (usually in chicken eggs) that go into the vaccine, a decision for the northern hemisphere’s upcoming season’s

Autism: A Cure? No. Improvement? Yes

an Vision Therapy cure autism? Absolutely not, said Dr. Rick Graebe, a behavioral optometrist in Versailles. But can VT, a kind of physical therapy for the eyes, brain and body, improve performance and alleviate symptoms? Dr. Graebe has witnessed it many times. “I don’t like to deal with labels,” he said. “I focus on behaviors and try to find a way to improve the lives of our patients.” Dr. Graebe has studied Vision Therapy’s effect on autism since reading “Seeing Through New Eyes” by optometrist Melvin Kaplan. The book documents his success treating children with developmental disabilities. Plus, Dr. Graebe recently attended a seminar in Tennessee led by Nancy Torgerson, a Vision Therapist optometrist from Washington State who has helped children with autism. That research helps in Dr. Graebe’s practice where he often works with children who show behaviors associated

My daughter, my Passport case manager, and me. When I told her what happened to my daughter, my case manager got busy. She called around to find someone who could provide my daughter with physical therapy in our home. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never heard of a health insurance plan going above and beyond like that. Thanks to her, my little girl has a chance to walk again.

You can help by donating new toys, warm clothing, non-perishable food boxes and hygiene items. Also, we would be most grateful if you deemed us worthy of a generous financial donation.
