Our Keiki News • Trends • Tips Halloween Family Fun Halloween is one of the most perfect times for your family to bond and have some fun. Here are some great ideas to kick it up a notch this Halloween.

Get haunted This is great, especially for older kids. Make a haunted house for your neighborhood. Put the kids in charge of some of the specifics. Set rules about how gory things can get. Then, send out flyers to your neighbors to let them know that your ohana is getting thrills and chills on for Halloween!

For the younger ghoul Hold a story-time Halloween party. Invite little friends to join you dressed in their costumes.

Serve fun foods and drinks while the little ones listen to the moms and dads read Halloween or Fall stories. Have a little ‘shake-it-out’ time in between each story by doing a “boogiemonster” dance.

Make it a theme In the days leading up to the holiday, throw a Halloween party and give it a theme. Try to choose a theme that won’t be too difficult for

guests to create a costume for. Fun theme ideas include: Disco, Pirate or Superheroes.

Once you’ve chosen your theme, make food, decorations and games to go with it.

Make it a family affair. Start a tradition where your whole family dresses in the same theme. Themes like Superheroes, Finding Nemo or Star Wars are always big hits.

Get back to basics. Instead of ordering that costume online, or finding it at the big box stores, make it a tradition for the family to make their costumes every year. You can find some great ideas on sites such as Pinterest, and you don’t have to be a super sewer to do this. Keep it simple, and get the kids involved to make it extra fun and special. SB

The Haku Baldwin Center invites everyone to join them for a day of family filled FUN at the Fall Harvest Festival in Makawao. The fun includes Pony Rides, Petting Zoo, Games, Arts & Crafts, Farmers Market, Craft Fair, Silent Auction, Bake Sale, Entertainment, Food, Face Painting and Balloon Animals. Bring your keiki in costume and wear yours too! ** NO PETS ALLOWED **

Our Keiki team sports

Becoming a Team Player Our culture often puts the spotlight on individual effort rather than teamwork. But encouraging your child to play a team sport might be the best thing you do for their growth as a human being. While there may be bumps on the road, there are ways to help them understand the importance of teamwork.

In a team, there is no “I.” What is best for the team is not always best for the individual. The emphasis is on the group endeavor. Keeping individual score is fine, but what’s more important is how the team works together.

Encouraging your child to use the “we” word helps them appreciate how collaboration can make for harmony.

Take responsibility for your own mistakes.

Own up to mistakes rather than pointing the finger at another player. Help your child to admit to errors they make and then move on. Blaming others creates resentment and hurt feelings.

Every player and position on the team is essential and valuable. Explain to your child how cause and effect relate. Without a certain move, or pass, that goal may not have been made.

It’s a series of actions and each person has a role to play. Mutual respect helps build good sportsmanship.

Teamwork can spark feelings of joy that are hard to create in individual sports. Working towards a common aim brings people together, and the mix of personalities and talents provides a rich ground for human interaction.

Team sports create a sense of camaraderie.

Trying a different position is a big plus with team sports. Your child may think they like pushing first off the starting blocks for the 4 x 100m relay, but then an opportunity arises for them to go last. Perhaps their skills are best used in a different strategic position. A team sport is the perfect environment for trying something new.

Being a team player is challenging, for human beings tend to be more concerned about individual trophies. But a good sportsman knows that being a team player is a win-win situation. RG

The Hunchback of Notre Dame AUGUST 25TH–SEPTEMBER 3RD MAUI ARTS & CULTURAL CENTER Maui Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA) brings The Hunchback of Notre Dame to the Maui stage live, August 25–September 3 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Castle Theater.

The famous love story of Quasimodo and Esmeralda comes to life on a grand scale in this re-imagining of Victor Hugo’s tale of hope, acceptance and what it means to be a hero.

With a lush score featuring songs from the beloved Academy Award-nominated Disney film, this captivating new musical is the only stage collaboration between two giants of American

musical theatre: Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid) and Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin).

The Hunchback of Notre Dame features David Tuttle as Quasimodo, Will Kimball as Claude Frollo and Danielle Mealani Delaunay as Esmeralda. The show is directed by David C. Johnston, with choreography by Andre Morissette and music direction by Gary W. Leavitt.

Our Keiki sibling relationships

Supporting the Dynamics of Sibling Relationships

By KIEGAN BLAKE, O.T.

S

ibling relationships are one of the most important and long lasting relationships your children will have. What a gift! They vary according to ages of the siblings, the ‘gap’ in ages, the individual developmental and temperament profiles of the kids as well as family culture and larger ethnic culture.

There are, however, some key areas you can focus on to support the relationship of your children.

1. Support the individuality of each child.

This creates the platform for celebrating your kids’ individual differences! Let them know you expect them to have different ideas and support them equally. This is particularly important later for dealing with siblings wanting to have whatever the other sibling has; they will learn that they are equal but not the same.

2. Facilitate communication and problem solving (rather than doing it for them).

Support your children stopping, verbalizing their ideas, their emotions, watching the other sibling response and negotiating around how each other feels. Give your kids the experience of sitting in the ‘puddle’ of discomfort when they don’t agree and allow it– they will learn that they move toward their goal faster if they come up with solutions together.

3. Let your kids know verbalizing a full range of emotions is acceptable. Positively reinforce the verbal expression of emotion (even if it is heated). Words are far better than pushing, door slamming, taking items out of each other’s hands/rooms, leaving, etc.

4. Help your kids learn how to negotiate by offering something that makes it a win-win for them and their sibling. If they want to ‘go first’ this time then have that child problem solve what their sibling can get in return.

This puts the focus on each child knowing what is important to the other and problemsolving with the other’s feelings in mind.

5. Celebrate in your kids’ individual talents!

This is important for each child to feel competent & confident without having to ‘measure up’ to the other. One sibling may be an athlete and the other may be good at story telling or, one child may get homework done fast and the other may be detail oriented and thorough. One sibling may have many social friends and the other may prefer one-on-one experience with a chosen friend.

Our Keiki School

Test Taking Strategies Test taking can be hard. Sometimes your kids may not know the answers, other times they may study and know things well, however the stress of taking a “test” gets them flustered. Give your child a head start with test taking tips.

Start with good nutrition It’s so hard to concentrate, let alone take a test, when you are hungry. And for kids, it’s no different. Set your child up for success by giving them a balanced breakfast before they head to school. This should be done every day but it’s especially important when they need to focus for a test.

Also, send them with snacks that can feed their brain, like almonds. The natural fatty acids found in almonds can help their brain be on point.

They can also provide oxygen to the brain, helping to keep your child alert and focused.

Spend time doing practice tests To get your child used to the pressure of a test, do home tests the days leading up to the real thing to help them learn how to focus. For

example, do a mock spelling test and try to emulate how the teacher does them, so your keiki is ready and knows what to do once they are in the classroom.

A few essentials go a long way Did you know that certain essential oils can help with focus and brain function? Use lavender, lightly rubbed on your child’s back with some carrier oil such as coconut oil. This can help keep them calm for their test. Place some peppermint in a diffuser necklace for your teenager to wear on test days. Peppermint can help with focus and alertness. Diffuse Young Living’s Geneyus while your child studies to help them focus and retain the information. SB

Baby Keiki News • Trends • Tips Baby-Friendly Superfoods

Supporting your baby’s health with nutritious food from the start is important for his or her growth and development. In addition to breast milk or baby formula, when your baby reaches around six months of age, your pediatrician may recommend feeding him or her solids that are age-appropriate. While it may seem easier to just grab a jar of baby food at the grocery store, making your own baby food can be simple, too. Here’s a list of baby-friendly superfoods, along with super easy ways to prepare them for your little one: Organic Sweet Potato (great source of vitamin A, as well as vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6). Bake sweet potato, then scoop out potato from the skin.

Nothing Cooler

Mash sweet potato with a fork or puree in a food processor or high-powered blender. (Add breast milk or formula for a thinner consistency).

Organic Avocado (nutrient-dense fruit including protein, fiber, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid, and zinc, as well as healthy fats).

Simply cut avocado in half and mash fruit with a fork before serving.

Organic Berries (various vitamins and nutrients).

Note that extra caution in preparation is needed when feeding strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc. to avoid choking. Add water to a pan and bring to a boil, then add fruit and reduce heat. Remove berries, puree, and strain the berries before serving.

Organic Spinach (potassium, manganese, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium). Wash spinach and cook in a pan with a little bit of water for two to three minutes or until the spinach has wilted. Then, puree until smooth.

Organic Banana (rich in potassium and other vitamins, particularly vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin B2 ). Simply peel banana and mash fruit with a fork or puree.

Organic Carrots (vitamin A, vitamin K, fiber, potassium, amongst many other nutrients). Wash and peel carrots. Cook in a pan with water for about 10-15 minutes or until tender. Then drain liquid and puree carrots to desired consistency.

Many of these baby-friendly superfoods can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer for quick meals. Remember to wait four days before introducing a new food to your baby to watch for possible allergies. Happy feeding! JP

Baby Keiki PREGNANCY

What is a Doula?

By Mary Jane Bennett

A doula is a unique part of the birthing team.

She is traditionally hired by the birthing couple to serve the laboring woman and her partner.

A doula is not a nurse nor a midwife, therefore, it is not her job to perform medical tasks or clinical evaluations. Continuity of care (due to the fact that doulas do not work in shifts) is also comforting to the birthing couple. The mother can rest assured that her physical and emotional needs will be met throughout her labor and birth. The doula is focused on one patient only.

Nurses are an important part of the birthing team. Some expectant couples think that the nurses can provide physical and emotional comfort, but nurses are usually responsible for more than one patient. It is unlikely that a nurse can stay by your side continuously during labor.

Nurses are responsible for clinical evaluations, monitoring vital signs, record keeping and charting, reporting to the doctors, and more.

Some expectant couples may think that a trusted friend or family member can do the job of a certified doula. The birthing couple is encouraged to choose whoever they would like to be present at the birth of their baby, keeping in mind that having a friend or family member at the birth does not match the expertise in and knowledge of pre-natal care, the birthing process, and the post-partum recovery period,

as well as breastfeeding knowledge, that most certified doulas have obtained through intense training, certification processes and experience.

Some expectant fathers/partners are concerned that hiring a certified doula undermines his/her job as the coach. The fact is that a certified doula assists the father/partner by making practical suggestions so he/she can better help the mother, by giving him/her breaks when necessary, and by enabling him/her to participate in ways in which he/she is most comfortable without compromising the needs of the laboring woman. Having a certified doula present allows the father/partner to concentrate all his energies on the mother; giving her the love, that only he can provide, and freeing him from worry. Hiring a certified doula allows the father to relax and fully participate at his own comfort level for the birth of his/her baby.

For more information, contact Mary Jane Bennett CD (DONA) IBCLC LCCE ECE of Beautiful Informed Beginnings by phone at (808) 283-7139 or email at mauidoula@hotmail.com.

Baby Keiki massage

Infant Massage

By Jade Holter

The ancient art of massage has been practiced by many cultures around the world for centuries, and not just on adults. In Hawaii, lomilomi (healing massage) has been used on both mother and child after birth, especially when babies had stomach ailments. In recent years, we’ve seen a resurgence in the use of this healing art for infants, as massage gains greater acceptance.

Massage is beneficial for all babies. Massaging your baby regularly provides soothing relief from colic, teething, gas and reflux. It also stimulates neurological development, improves sleep patterns, regulates behavioral states and reduces baby’s stress levels. Massage is a wonderful way to bond with your baby while engaging all five senses. Learning infant massage provides parents with another technique to soothe their baby, which in turn, helps them gain confidence in their parenting skills.

The best behavioral state for a massage is ‘quiet-alert’, which means the baby is awake and calm, often after baby has woken up from a nap, or after bath time. Wait 35–40 minutes after feeding to begin massage. Plan your baby massage at the same time every day so that

11th Annual Maui Children & Youth Day SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14TH 4PM–8PM KENOLIO REC. CENTER, KIHEI

baby feels secure and knows what is coming next. Consider integrating massage into nighttime rituals. Choose a room that is warm, quiet and familiar so that baby doesn’t become over stimulated. Use a high quality cold-pressed natural oil, like coconut, grape seed or kukui nut. Unscented oil should be used for the first six months so that baby can smell your scent.

Massage can be adapted for babies and children of all ages, and length of massage may vary. For toddlers, you may incorporate songs or games to keep their interest. Babies may need to nurse, fuss, cry, or take a break during the massage. Make the experience a positive one for your baby by responding appropriately to their needs. Visit www.infantmassageusa.org for more information on infant massage.

For more information, contact Jade Holter Certified Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator & Infant Massage Instructor at www.jadebabynurse.com.

The 11th Annual Maui Children and Youth Day is just around the corner.

Celebrating families with keiki from preschool through middle school, Maui Children and Youth Day is a free, fun, family event co-sponsored

by Kihei Youth Center, held at Kenolio Recreational Center in Kihei, on October 14th from 4pm–8pm.

Enjoy crafts ‘to make and take’, games to delight, entertainment by talented youth, taiko drumming, demonstrations, giveaways, keiki ID and more.

This free event is filled with fun for the whole family. Keiki who complete the treasure hunt game, by visiting booths with activities to engage and educate, may even win a prize! Plus, there will be food booths that benefit South Maui youth clubs.

All families and their keiki are welcome! Maui’s 11th annual festival is part of the statewide October celebration of Children and Youth month.

Fall Family Traditions for Maui Keiki

1. Take them to Kula Country Farms to pick pumpkins and walk through the corn maze.

Kula Country Farms gets better every year with vendors and food and tons of fun things for kids of all ages. The view isn’t bad either!

Momsomnia: How to Get the Rest You Need If you find yourself lying awake at night, despite your baby’s peaceful slumber, you may have ‘momsomnia’. Momsomnia is “a term used to describe a mom, whose child wakes her up at night but then immediately falls back to sleep, leaving the mom restless and unable to get back to sleep herself” (azdictionary.co).

Implementing ways to unwind after your sleep is interrupted is key for good health.

“Find what works for you and your family: co-sleep, sleep train, whatever it takes for you to get some much needed rest,” shared Colie Lennox, Maui mother of four and blogger (colielennox.wordpress.com). She continued, “Sleep when the baby is sleeping. If naps aren’t an option, at least go to bed for the night when you put the baby to bed. Remember that this sleepless stage will pass, and before you know it, they will be putting themselves to bed and sleeping through the night.”

Tehane Baza-Triulzi, Maui mother of four, added that for her, committing to a nightly “shut down routine” is key. “I need the time to disconnect from electronics, to plan for the day ahead, and to do some self-care. This way, my brain slows down and I stop thinking about all the things

left to do. I focus in on a moment for me to relax, refuel, refresh. It’s a great way to beat the momsomnia and truly find rest.”

Here are some more tips for conquering momsomnia: • Exercise, preferably in the morning, for a calmer mood and deeper, more restful sleep.

• If you are finding yourself lying awake in bed, get up and do something relaxing, like taking a bath or doing light stretches.

• Avoid caffeine after 3pm.

• Set an early bedtime.

• Accept help. Let your partner wake up with the baby or hire a babysitter for naptimes.

• Squeeze in time to rest during the day by taking a short stroll with your child, working on a creative project, listening to music and meditating or praying.

Hopefully, after practicing some of these ways to rest, you will overcome the battle of momsomnia and be on your way to a more energetic and alert state of mind. JP

This annual fundraising event will be held on Saturday, September 23rd, at 8992 Kula Highway, across from Keokea Park, from 9am to 4pm. There will be lots of ono food, baked goods, a Kids’ Zone, plants, flowers, farm fresh produce, a gift shop with baskets, crafters, a silent auction and live entertainment all day long. All this for only $1 admission, or a canned good for the food bank – free for children under 10. This event provides funding for the programs and maintenance of the 117 year old church at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Each year, different nonprofits are chosen to share proceeds. This year, the beneficiaries are the Family Life Center, a homeless transitional shelter, and Ka Hale A ke Ola, a homeless resource center. For more info, or to volunteer or donate to the auction, call 878-1485.

Overcoming Performance Anxiety

P

erformance anxiety can affect a person of any age. But when it comes to our children it’s tough for a parent to witness. Tantrums, stomachache, and nail-biting are just a few ways it can manifest itself. These symptoms can appear in any kind of situation such as recitals, sports, tests, and speeches. They can also show up in less obvious places such as art camp or cooking class.

While performance anxiety is believed to stem from a child’s temperament, genes and learned behavior, support from an adult can go a long way to easing their nervous system: • Explain that having the jitters is normal. Avoid saying, “Don’t worry,” or, “Don’t be silly.” Show empathy by saying, “Yes, that’s difficult,” and then offer to help figure out how they can cope.

• Don’t avoid situations such as giving their teacher a note to excuse the child from the activity. Building their resilience to the stressful

situation serves them more. Empower them so they can deal with that audition for the school play or math test.

• Encourage stretching to loosen up muscles and taking slow deep breaths before a football game. Ground them in the knowledge that they have the ability to achieve whatever they want.

• Focus on the journey rather than the outcome.

Remind them of all they have achieved to get to this point. Offer small rewards as a way of recognizing what they’ve done so far in their lives.

• Speak gently and slowly with them as a way to relax their inner butterflies.

• Tell them you love them no matter what. Children need to know they won’t be punished for not doing well, and that your love for them does not depend on their performance. At the end of the day, like all human beings, children want love and acceptance for who they are and where they are in their lives.

Is Your Child Hard of Hearing?

BY CHrISTy CHAdWICK

Almost 90% of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (dHH) are born to hearing parents.

Instantly, parents are faced with a decision of how their child learns to communicate. There are options, such as sign language, learning to listen and talk, or a combination of both.

A child with a hearing loss cannot learn language by overhearing sounds and words in their environment. Children who are dHH must be clearly taught language by a trained professional, or a Teacher of the deaf (Tod) specializing in their mode of communication (sign language or spoken language). The best time to learn language is from birth to 5 years of age. It is imperative to children’s education and social success to give children access to quality services necessary for acquiring language. Families also benefit from regular services for support in learning how to best communicate with their child.

Hawai’i has the highest prevalence rate of children born with a hearing loss. The numbers in 2013 showed 3 out of 1000 children are born with a hearing loss. Only 65% of those are receiving early intervention services. The lack of services creates a large gap for students who are dHH to keep up with their typically hearing peers in reading, language, and academics.

There are communities on Facebook, such as “Hawaii Hears,” “Hawaii Parents of deaf and Hard of Hearing Kids,” and “Listening and Spoken Language Group.” Also, Maui deaf Friends has great resources for learning sign language and getting involved with the deaf community. Furthermore, families can contact Christy Chadwick, Teacher of the deaf. She can provide language lessons, ideas for communicating with your child, and options for academic learning.

Christy Chadwick has a Masters in Deaf Education and specializes in Listening and Spoken Language. For more information visit hawaiihears.com, follow the FB awareness page called Hawaii Hears or email info@hawaiihears.com

Kids & Caffeine Kids and caffeine don’t mix well. All parents know that. So, is it ok to substitute a cup of coffee with hot chocolate? It’s mostly milk and that’s fine, right?

Caffeine is known as a drug because it stimulates the central nervous system. It’s the most widely consumed psychoactive drug today, and it’s finding its way into our children’s diet.

Tea and coffee are the usual suspects for caffeine. But consider these sources, too: chocolate, sodas, chai, ice cream, jelly beans, lollipops, beef jerky, marshmallows, gummy bears, energy bars, candy bars, mints, and gum.

Caffeine overload A small amount of caffeine causes alertness in the body. But in both kids and adults, too much caffeine can cause: • nervousness • upset stomach • headaches • difficulty concentrating • trouble sleeping • faster heart rate • higher blood pressure Apart from children and teens, studies show that toddlers are also consuming the stimulant.

And their developing bodies are more sensitive to its effects.

2nd Annual Taste of Upcountry SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7TH // 6PM–10PM 2933 BALDWIN AVE., MAKAWAO

Other issues Kids who drink a lot of soft drinks are also consuming lots of sugar which can lead to tooth decay and obesity. Let’s not forget they’ll also be missing out on drinking calcium-rich drinks such as milk or plain water.

What to do: • Watch for hidden caffeine by checking the ingredient list on foods and beverages.

• Eliminate soda. Instead, offer water, milk, or 100% fruit juice in small amounts.

• Do not offer toddlers any caffeine-containing products and practice saying no to kids under the age of 12. Little sips can lead to bigger sips.

• Educate your teen about the effects of caffeine.

• Discourage the use of energy drinks for kids who play sports and other activities. Be aware, decaffeinated means low caffeine not caffeine free.

No parent wants their kid hooked on caffeine.

With a few simple steps, we can raise healthy and caffeine-free kids. Eliminating caffeine from our own diet could even be the very first step!

After all, we are their primary role models. RG

Montessori School of Maui’s Taste of Upcountry is designed to highlight the collaborations of Maui’s renowned chefs and Upcountry farmers and purveyors, who provide delicious food and produce on the island. The event will be held under a tent on the school’s beautiful campus in Makawao, featuring culinary stations presenting delicious pupu and dessert “tastes” for all attendees. In addition to the “tastes”, the evening’s festivities will also include musical guests and silent and live auctions. The event is 21+ and open to the public. This is a BYOB event, and there will be no sale of alcohol. This is the primary fundraising event for the 2017–18 school year, and all proceeds will directly support the School’s operating budget.

R.E.A.D. to a Dog?!

I

t may sound a little odd to hear, “Hey, Mom, I read to a dog today!” But when the Caring K9s R.E.A.D.® teams pull into the parking area, children say just that. They run to sign up and read with a four-legged friend, leaving skateboards and video games behind. It’s no secret; reading is FUN when done with a dog!

The R.E.A.D.® literacy program is built around the idea of children reading to dogs. Students are invited to read to a friend (a certified therapy dog), who is able to listen attentively, never judges or criticizes, allows the child to read at their own pace, helps them to relax, and even helps lower their blood pressure and heart rate. The results of these programs are significant, with students showing improvement in communication skills, reading fluency, comprehension, and self-esteem.

The non-profit, Caring K9s Therapy Dogs Maui is dedicated to improving the quality of people’s lives through the magic of dog

visitation therapy. Melodie Ulman founded Caring K9s in 2012, when she and her husband relocated to Maui.

Currently, the Caring K9 organization has over 20 dedicated volunteer handler and dog teams, who make comfort visits, specific animal assisted therapy visits, run animal care education programs, and coordinate Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D. ®) programs with certified therapy dogs. These Caring K9s currently make visits to Hale Makua Skilled Nursing homes, Rosalani Place Assisted Living Community, Maui Adult Day Care Centers, Hospice Maui and Islands Hospice patients, Kansha Preschool, and the Maui Boys and Girl’s Clubs.

Caring K9s has R.E.A.D.® programs at four of the island’s Boys and Girls Clubs, and is intending to have these programs at all the Boys and Girls Clubs around the island, as well as other after school programs (such as YMCA and A+), and hopes to expand to all elementary schools on the island in the near future. Carden Academy will begin a Caring K9s lead R.E.A.D.© program next fall!

For more information, contact Caring K9s Therapy Dogs Maui at caringk9smaui.org.

What 4-H can do for Your Keiki The 4-H program has been on Maui since 1918 (yes, almost 100 years), yet the format and purpose of the program is still a mystery to many residents. The initial 4-H clubs focused on farming and introducing new agricultural technology. Other clubs taught homemaking skills and were mainly separated by gender, based on topic interest. Although the clubs had a content-specific goal, the new 4-H program started incorporating training in life skills to help youth develop into “contributing, productive, self-directed members of society.”

Curriculum and program plans include opportunities for young people to participate and develop skills in leadership, communication, decision-making, problem solving, teamwork, cooperation and accepting differences. The key to a successful 4-H club is the 4-H volunteer leader.

4-H Leaders A 4-H club is formed when an adult volunteers and is screened to be the club leader. A club must also hold regular meetings, enroll members each year (at least 5 children from at least 2 families), and submit a yearly program plan and financial documentation.

The role of club leaders is to provide encouragement, ideas and learning opportunities, to recruit other volunteers to assist with theclub,

to act as the link between the club and the county 4-H program, and to assist youth in developing life and project skills.

4-H Clubs There are 3 levels of 4-H clubs: Cloverbuds (ages 5-8), Junior (ages 9-13) and Senior (14-19).

Members in a Cloverbud club are not permitted to participate in competitive events, complete year-long projects, or have youth officers. Their focus is on introductory projects.

Junior and Senior clubs have youth officers that run meetings, plan programs and choose the project for the year. Senior club members may be asked to mentor Junior clubs. Officer roles include President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Reporter, Historian, and Recreation Leader, among others.

Curriculum and topic areas are varied and fall under the three mandates. Examples of topics for project plans include Aerospace, Small Engines, Robotics, Food Science, Cooking, Career Education, Veterinary Science, Cavies, Entomology, Public Speaking, and Leadership.

Some clubs participate in the Livestock Council, which allows youth an opportunity to raise and show an animal.

4-H club members can participate in countywide events that are open to all clubs such as the Maui Fair parade, a spring teaching demonstration, the yearly Tech Connect, and holiday-based activities. In addition, senior club members provide a youth officer training each year to prepare club members for their roles.

Helping Those Who Help Us

BY PATTI SABLA, LCSW

d

o you love a first responder? Maybe your spouse, parent, sibling or adult child is one of Maui’s finest first responders, such as police officers, 911 dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics and ER doctors/nurses. They are often on the front lines of trauma and disaster. They may see more disturbing images in one shift than we see in a lifetime. Not talking about what they have witnessed can lead to a build up of overwhelming emotions that can eventually lead to burnout or breakdown.

Five ways to support your first responder: 1. Give them their space when they first come home from work. Sometimes, it is just a matter of allowing them to have a little time to decompress and switch out of work mode.

2. Understand that if they don’t talk to you about work, it’s not personal. They may not be opening up to you about their job because they don’t want you to worry.

3. Listen non-judgmentally. Try not to tell them how you think they should feel or act because of what they have witnessed.

4. Be kind to yourself and indulge in self-care.

Taking good care of yourself ensures you are in the best place emotionally and physically to support your first responder when they need it.

5. Suggest they consult a professional.

Sometimes talking to someone about their feelings is necessary to release pent-up emotions. It is important to remind your first responders that seeking help does not mean they are weak. In fact, asking for help can be one of the hardest things they may ever do.

However, keep in mind that constantly pushing them to seek help may have the opposite effect and cause them to shut down.

Our Teens News • TreNds • Tips What Were You Thinking?

BY yVONNE MANUPUNA, LMFT ...Sound like a familiar question you ask your teen? The adolescent years are filled with opportunities for young people to make some kolohe (rascal/mischievous) choices. Then, they either experience a favorable outcome or some painful consequences. Just in the last 50 years, researchers have discovered that the brain keeps developing past the childhood years.

In fact, completion/full connection happens later, around the mid-twenties. The part of the brain (prefrontal cortex) that controls mood regulation, rationalization, impulsive decision making, insight, and judgment, is the last part to develop and connect.

The emotional center of the brain, also known as the limbic system, goes off during this time.

Teens experience emotion at a heightened level.

The feelings of love, disdain, hurt and shame are experienced with greater magnitude.

Understanding brain development is helpful in understanding why your teen is making the choices they’re making. Here are 3 tips families can practice as their teens go through this growing and exciting phase of their life. The first is to role model the type of behavior you want to see your teens having. Adolescents

are watching your every move; it may not seem like they are, but they are! Secondly, teens need repetition. Repeat expectations, rules and values. They might not necessarily want to hear them, but it’s critical in their development.

Consistency goes hand in hand with repetition.

Don’t let their adult-looking bodies fool you; they are still much like children in that they need a clear and consistent message about what is expected of them. Lastly, spend some quality time doing something THEY like to do.

Want to influence their decision making? Build a closer relationship.

Celebrating GRANDparents!

National Grandparents Day September 10TH, 2017 Mark your calendars for National Grandparents Day. It’s always the second Sunday in September, so this year it is September 10th!

What is it about the grandparent–grandchild relationship that is so special?

Many grandparents say it is a combination of things – fewer daily family and work demands, greater wisdom, the ability to focus on the moment, and the fact that they are no longer the primary disciplinarian.

Grandkids say that at grandma, grandpa, tutu man or tutu lady’s house (or whatever their special grandparent name may be), they feel special.

With just a quick internet search, there are hundreds of homemade, inexpensive and unique gifts for grandparents. For those

grandparents and grandchildren who both live on Maui, there are fun outdoor and indoor activities to enjoy together.

There are also a very special set of grandparents that wear the hat of both grandparent and parent.

And because these families are so special, we call them GRANDFAMILIES! Grandfamilies include both grandparents and aunties and uncles raising a family member’s child. If you know a grandfamily, let them know that resources in Maui can support their good work.

GRANDcares Workshop GrANdcares is a 6-week series of workshops that focus on helping grandfamilies access resources they need, manage their own health, and THRIVE. Classes are offered through UH Extension and scheduled at various times and locations on Maui. To learn more, contact Heather Greenwood-Junkermeier at 244-3242 ext 226 or send an email Christine Spencer at grandcaresmaui@gmail.com.

Grandfamily Game NIght Grandfamily Game Night is held on the Second Saturday of each month on the UH Maui College Campus from 5pm–7pm. This free event is a time for grandfamilies to meet, play games, have fun, and eat dinner. Registration is required so they have enough food, so call or email them today – 244-3242 ext 226 or grandcaresmaui@gmail.com.

Field trips are where children can strengthen their observation skills, explore real world problems, connect points of reference to their surrounding environment, and expand their awareness of the community. Here are a few field trips filled with fun and learning!

Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center 2841 Baldwin Ave., Makawao www.huinoeau.com • (808) 572-6560 “The Hui’s field trip programs open students’ minds to new possibilities! Hands-on art experiences also help Maui keiki to develop creative thinking, problem solving and communication skills that will help them to thrive in school, work, and life.” -Anne-Marie Forsythe, Program Director Explore & Discover: Field Trips at Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center Hui No‘eau loves sharing the visual arts and the historic Kaluanui Estate with school and community groups! Explore & Discover Field Trip programs welcome students, their chaperones and teachers to the Hui to participate in fun and interactive art lessons taught by Hui Teaching Artists. Students create their very own work of art to bring home, experience various art media and tools, view live artist demonstrations, and are guided through a fine art gallery exhibition. Field Trips are typically two hours in duration plus any additional time for the group to explore, play or enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds of the expansive Kaluanui Estate. Program costs vary based on the medium of the project, number of students, and hours of instruction. The Hui is happy to work within your budget and design a program that accompanies what your students are learning in school!

Explore & Discover Preschool Field Trips Designed especially for preschool age children and funded by the Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation, this field trip program includes all of the wonderful elements of the Hui’s Explore & Discover program while offering engaging art projects suited for younger artists. FREE for preschools!

Pacific Whale Foundation 300 Ma’alaea Rd., Suite 211, Wailuku education@pacificwhale.org • (808) 856-8341 Pacific Whale Foundation’s Keiki Whalewatch program is offered during the months of January through April. The goal of the program is to offer an opportunity for local schoolchildren to learn about whales and the ocean and get out on a boat to see the whales up close. The program includes a customized whale watch on board one of their vessels, and a classroom program with standards-based, grade-level appropriate, hands-on activities for the students. The program curriculum is designed for school groups ranging from preschool to high school. The cost of the program is heavily subsidized by members and donors of Pacific Whale Foundation, resulting in a fee of $8 per student and $15 per adult chaperone, with no charge for teachers. Scholarship support is also available through the No Child Left Indoors Scholarship fund.

For more information, visit https://www.pacificwhale.org/cruises/keiki-whalewatch-programs/

Pi’iholo Ranch Adventures 799 Pi’iholo Rd., Makawao info@piiholozipline.com • (808) 572-1717 Pi’iholo Ranch Adventures in Makawao offers school children, teachers and parents a safe, but a thrilling experience that delights all the senses and broadens horizons. This tethered zipline experience allows kids to meet challenges of rope ladders, standing on tree platforms, climbing walls and zipping through trees — hooked to a safety line and encouraged by experienced guides. It’s exciting; completing what looks like an impossible feat gives kids a sense of accomplishment. It’s fun; a full half-mile length of side–by-side ziplines lets family and best friends “fly” together over gulches and meadows, enjoying fresh mountain breezes and distant ocean vistas. It’s educational; guides share information and answer questions about Pi’iholo Ranch, and describe the plants, trees, cattle and horses children see along the course.

Pi’iholo Adventures zipline courses take 2-3 hours—a perfect field trip, and schools qualify for a civic discount.
