TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE Twin Creeks Neighborhood Watch Block Captains needed … We are fortunate that so many of our residents have volunteered to serve as block captains; however, block captains are still needed for the following neighborhood streets: The Park – Barsham Ct., Durlston Ct., Tattler Dr. The Canyon – Ebbsfleet Dr., Kittiwake Ln., Copford Ln., Spiderwort The Bluffs – Dartford Bend, Pipit Ct. The Enclave – Mingus Dr. The Gardens – Ben Doran Ct. The Overlook – Welton Cliff Dr. (2800’s and 2900’s) The Reserve – Crystal Hill, Granite Ct., Millstream, Sugar Maple Ct. If your street does not have a captain, please consider volunteering. Being a block captain is easy – simply visit your neighbors and obtain their contact information (instructions and forms are provided) and forward an occasional important email. Contact Terra Tisdale at ttisdale61@gmail.com to volunteer. SAFETY TIPS OF THE MONTH – GARAGE DOORS

• There have been reports of missing items when garage doors have been left open. It is always safer to keep garage doors closed unless your garage is within your view. • The door from the garage into your house should be locked so that if entry has been gained into your garage, no entry can be made into your house.

TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE

Bullying: What To Watch Has your child suddenly had declining grades or unexplained injuries? Have they purposely been trying to avoid school? They could be the victims of bullying. “Bullying is a widespread problem among children, especially teenagers,” says Beth Nauert, M.D., a Texas pediatrician. “Bullying should always be taken very seriously by parents, educators, and the authorities.” BULLYING SIGNS Children who are bullied are repeatedly exposed to aggressive, negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and have difficulty defending themselves, says Dr. Nauert. Some clear signs of bullying that parents should watch for include: • unexplainable injuries, • lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry,

Helping Parents Understand the Signs

• • • • •

feeling sick or faking illness, changes in eating habit, difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares, not wanting to go to school, running away from home. ACTION PLAN FOR PARENTS Because children who are bullied may be reluctant to talk about it, parents who suspect bullying should take immediate action to help their children, says Dr. Nauert. “Parents need to find out from their child who is doing the bullying, whether the bullying was verbal, physical, or cyberbullying, and where and when the bullying is happening,” she says. “They should then speak with their teacher, principal, school administrators, or local law enforcement.”

October is National Bullying Prevention Month
