FROMDIRECTORY THE PUBLISHER ANNER By Todd Posselli

Who Is in Your Circle? Most have seen the movie ‘Meet the Parents’ with Ben Stiller and Robert Deniro. If you haven’t, here’s a very quick rundown. Stiller’s character wants to marry the daughter of Deniro’s character. However, Deniro takes a hard line at who he allows within the family circle and who he doesn’t. By trying to shut the world out, he’s does enormous harm his family and to himself... comically so. Recent world events have many drawing lines and drawing conclusions about large swathes of the American and world population. Let’s call it what it is, xenophobia. The definition of that word is “intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.” While the ranting and raving in the political sphere appeared comical to many at first, it’s turned into something very ugly. In the movie and in real-life current events, fear of the unknown causes overreaction and self-mutilation. The result of “Us vs Them” is very predictable... cyclical pain and suffering, followed by more fear. Here’s where we need to rethink the circles we’ve drawn. Yes, I’m going to say let’s reach out and embrace those who are different. There’s more, though. We need to embrace and show love to those who are intolerant. How can we expect them to find a different way forward if they cannot see it in others? Let’s express differences firmly but with compassion. Who is in your circle? How small or large do you want your circle to be? 4 UTAHFAMILY.COM WINTER EDITION ‘15-’16

WINTER FUN LANNER DIRECTORY By Mandy Fields Yokim

Winter is the New Summer! Six summer activities that families can still enjoy while basking in the glow of the winter snow Do you miss the sunny, warm days of summer? Go ahead and put on your swimsuit (underneath your snowsuit!) and think outside the box of typical winter fun. You can still enjoy some of your family’s favorite summer activities while appreciating the beauty of the season. Here are six ways that your family can bask in the glow of the snow:

1) Take a hike Hiking in a winter wonderland is magical. Little kids who are all bundled up may find it challenging to walk in deep snow, but even short hikes are great fun. Pretend you are big animals making tracks through the snow, play follow the leader, or draw pictures in the snow with sticks. Try snowshoes for a change of pace. Kids love the novelty and they can be bought second-hand or even rented. Don’t forget to take along your camera to get some beautiful, red-cheeked pictures of your family enjoying the snowy outdoors.

2) Play in the water It’s too cold to swim or run through the sprinkler. The winter, however, provides a great opportunity for learning about water’s more solid state – ice. Take the kids outside and let them discover the process of freezing and melting in a fun way. Fill up different kinds and sizes of containers. Freeze leaves and sticks in the water. Make cookie cutter-shaped icicles to hang on your porch. Enjoy not having to keep lathering on the sunscreen since you’ll be covered head to toe and won’t be out for too long (maybe a little on your face if the sun is really bright).

6 UTAHFAMILY.COM WINTER EDITION ‘15-’16

3) Make snow cream We all scream for snow cream. Yes, instead of making ice cream out of fresh berries just use what’s in season – snow. Have the kids gather some fresh snow (read: white not yellow or brown) and then add milk, sugar and vanilla to taste. It is really that simple. You can eat it right away or freeze it inside or outside in ice cream molds or cups with Popsicle sticks. Experiment with adding flavors or ingredients.

4) Go to the playground Kids love swinging and sliding no matter what the weather outside. In fact, being the first to go down a snow-covered slide is super fun. Snow can make your regular playground seem a little different and kids may enjoy discovering it anew during the winter. Snowball fights, breaking icicles off of the play equipment, jumping off swings into piles of snow – playgrounds can be fun in all seasons.

5) Have a picnic Why save picnics for warmer weather? Winter can be a great time to take your lunch outside. Instead of birds chirping and bugs biting, you can enjoy the peaceful sound of quiet while you observe the icicles and catch snow on your tongue. Try packing a thermos of warm soup with a grilled cheese and then spreading a tarp instead of a blanket. Ants are guaranteed not to crash the party.

6) Plant and pick flowers While your real spring bulbs are underneath a blanket of snow until spring, the expanse of white makes a perfect background for colorful pretend flowers. Drink hot chocolate inside while you craft simple flowers from brightly colored paper. This doesn’t have to be Martha Stewart-style, simple works just fine. Tape them onto wooden dowel rods or sticks and then place them into the snow for a pretty display. Pretend you are bees flying from flower to flower and run all around the backyard. Practice identifying colors or counting as the kids pick the flowers from the snow for a beautiful winter bouquet.

SMALL FRIES PLANNER DIRECTORY By Joyce Sibbett, Ph.D. President, Dancing Moose Montessori School

Love Is Limitless, and To Set Limits Is To Love Encourage Your Toddler While Setting Limits All of us who are invested in toddlers share the goal for them to grow into happy, confident adults. We want them to know that they are loved as they develop skills to regulate themselves and make good decisions. The following three principals offer some solid advice for parents and caregivers to guide toddlers in regulating positive behavior: FIRST, maintain your composure. (You want to teach your child to maintain a positive temperament, so make sure you model it. The best way to teach your child to lose his or her temper is to lose yours.) SECOND, make your expectations clear. (Your child needs to have a clear understanding of what to do. Try to state expectations in positive terms without emphasizing on the word “no.” THIRD, create a path that will facilitate your child’s success. (Prepare a safe, exploratory environment where your child can follow his or her curiosity. Redirect as much as possible to communicate with positive reinforcement.)

Consider the following scenarios and possible responses: Scenario: Your toddler is hitting his friend Johnny because he wants Johnny’s toy. • Intervene quickly to remind your child of the expected behavior. • “Oh no, be soft with your friend Johnny. We are kind to our friends.” • Focus attention on the desired goal. “I understand that you want to play with 14 UTAHFAMILY.COM WINTER EDITION ‘15-’16

Johnny’s red truck. I have a yellow train for you to play with. Maybe Johnny will trade with you. When he’s ready to trade, you can play with the red truck.” (You have provided the potential for a win-win situation for both children.) • If your toddler persists in trying to grab his friend’s toy and/ or persists in hitting, remove your child from the situation. “I’m sorry that you’re still hurting Johnny. You will have to play over here. When you’re ready to be kind, you can play with your yellow train next to Johnny.” Scenario: Your family members just finished dinner and were ready to enjoy family time in the back yard. Your toddler pushed a chair over for no apparent reason. • Express what you expect your child to do. “Please pick up the chair so we can go outside.” • Your toddler responds with a mischievous smile. The family proceeds to go outside, and you calmly explain, “I’ll wait for you to put the chair back up.” (You’ve created an incentive for your toddler to comply, and he knows exactly what he must do before he can join the family fun outside.) Scenario: Your toddler was drawing a picture with crayons on his drawing paper. You suddenly notice that his drawing has extended to his bedroom wall. • State the appropriate use of crayons. “Oh no, your wall has crayon marks on it. Crayons go on our drawing paper.” • Explain what needs to happen next. “We need to get the crayons off the wall. Come and help me get supplies to clean the wall.” Include your toddler in getting cleaning supplies and make sure she helps you clean the walls. (Toddlers won’t be able to handle chemicals or effectively get the walls clean, but it’s essential that they are included in the cleaning activity.) Scenario: You tell your toddler it’s time to go upstairs to take a bath, and he ignores you. • Only state your expectation once, but add the next outcome if he doesn’t come now. “You need to come now to have time for a

story.” • If he doesn’t respond after a few minutes, you help him up the stairs to take a bath. After the bath, he will go right to bed. Be empathetic in your response. “I’m so sorry that we don’t have time for a story tonight.” In each of these scenarios you allowed your toddler to experience the natural outcomes from his or her actions. You allowed your child to think about good choices that will lead to positive outcomes. Most importantly, you modeled self-control and empathized with your child’s disappointment at the sad outcomes that result from poor choices. These steps will help your toddler begin to regulate his or her actions. Dr. Joyce, co-founder of Dancing Moose, has been a Professor of Education at Westminster College for 20 years. She continually strives to put best practices into action at Dancing Moose by organizing and overseeing curriculum. She facilitates a collaborative culture within DMMS and in the surroundingcommunity. Joyce enjoys supporting teachers’ eff orts to enrich every aspect of children’s social, emotional, and academic development.

At Learning Tree our goal is to provide our preschool children with the very best program possible. We use the We Can! Curriculum which teaches: • Alphabet Knowledge • Phonemic Awareness and Literacy • Math • Science and Social Studies We Can! has been proven to increase children’s test scores at kindergarten entry and throughout the primary grades.

• Specialize in infants to age 12 • Transportation to local schools • Field trips and activities • Private Kindergarten • Clean, safe facility • Professional, caring staff

SMALL FRIES LANNER DIRECTORY By Sandra Gordon

Help Your Child Make the Most of Daycare and Preschool Besides helping you get work done or caught up on some errands, daycare and preschool present enormous benefits for your child. “Both offer kids experiences they might not get at home, such as exposure to a larger social environment that can help them learn how to get along well with others,” says Cathy Keller, the director of preschool and infant care center. Who knew that 18-month-olds could have friends? When kids go to daycare and preschool, their schedule tends to fill up with play dates and birthday parties. Developmentally, kids who’ve done at least a year of preschool are more ready to jump into the learning environment of kindergarten, too. “Preschool is an environment in which kids have the opportunity to use language in many different ways with others who are at the same developmental age,” says Jennifer Kurumada Chuang, the owner of a multi-grade child care

center and preschool that serves 225 children and their families. But, overall, preschool helps young naturally-egocentric kids learn how to exist with others in a classroom. “Preschoolers learn how take turns, follow directions, pick up after themselves, stand in line, sit in a circle, raise their hand, use their words to express themselves instead of physically acting out and talk when it’s appropriate,” Kurumada Chuang says. “If they master those social skills in preschool, they’re ready to learn in kindergarten.” All told, your child’s early learning experiences can set the tone for years to come. To help your child prepare for daycare and preschool and reinforce the lessons he learns there, here’s the homework you can do that can make all the difference.

Ace the Drop-Off Pick the right daycare or preschool. “Separating from mom and dad can be tough for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, though some kids display it more aggressively than others,” says Keller. To make drop-off easier, choose a daycare or preschool you feel good about. “Parents telegraph their comfort and confidence about the school in so many ways to their kids,” says Keller. If you’re happy with your choice of school and know that your child is in a good learning situation, your child will pick up on your confidence and be okay with it, too, even if he initially doesn’t seem to like going there. And keep in mind that separation anxiety is often more painful for you than

your child. “Children are amazingly adaptable,” Keller says.

Manage morning madness. To help make drop-off at daycare or preschool smoother, take the hassle out of your AM. Try doing what you can the night before, when you have more time to think the next day through. For example, fill out permission slips, write any notes to the teacher and checks for daycare or preschool field trips and put them in your child’s backpack or lunchbox. Have your child take her bath or shower too. You can even set the table for breakfast and take out the breakfast cereal, if you want to. You could also check the weather forecast and let your preschooler set out the next day’s outfit. Give her choices: “Do you want to wear the striped shirt or the orange one? Your blue jeans or sweat pants?” As soon as you can, “Get your kids invested in the process with age-appropriate tasks,” says Mary Robbins, a licensed clinical social worker. To encourage your preschooler to begin to do these things on her own, praise her for a job well done, such as: “Wow! You picked your outfit by yourself? You’re getting to be such a big girl!” As your child masters one task, add another. Eventually, she can help you pack her snack and her lunch the night before.

Stick to a routine. Whether your child is in daycare or preschool, establish a morning routine and stick to it. It might be: wake up, get dressed, eat

Continued from page 18 breakfast, has a short playtime together, double check the backpack or lunchbox, and leave the house. Structured routines give children a sense of control. “When they know what’s coming next, they’re less likely to procrastinate or become anxious about going to daycare or preschool,” Keller says. Make a morning-routine poster for your family and put it in a common area, such as on your fridge. The poster should outline the order of tasks such as dressing, eating breakfast, putting on shoes and socks and brushing hair and teeth. Use pictures to convey the message. If your child dawdles even with a set routine, move up his bedtime and his wake-up by 15 minutes instead of trying to get him to conform to your schedule. Also, make sure he gets to bed early enough so he’s more apt to be up-and-at-‘em in the morning. Keep in mind that infants 3 to 11 months need 9 to 12 hours of sleep at night and a 30 minute to 4 hour nap one to three times a day. Toddlers need 12 to 14 hours of sleep in 24 hours and preschoolers need 11 to 13 hours of shut eye at night.

Don’t dawdle.

At daycare or preschool, say goodbye to your child calmly, give your child a kiss and hug and tell him when you’ll be back to pick him up (such as after lunch or his nap). Then walk out the door and let the teacher give your child some lovies so you can make a quick exit. At the end of the day, make sure you’re there to collect your child when you say you will be. “Kids that young can’t tell time, but they will know that if you always pick up after their nap and you’re not there until 5 PM, that’s a big difference,” Keller says. Try to pick up at the same every day, if possible.

School Success Rx Read, read, read to your child. “Being read to is the single most consistent and reliable predictor of academic success later in life,” says Kurumada Chuang. She recommends reading to your preschooler for 20 minutes every night at bedtime. While you’re at it, stop every so often and ask your child a question about the story before turning the page, such as: “Gosh, why do you think she was sad?” or “What do you think it going to happen next?” Making reading more interactive makes it more fun and helps build your child’s comprehension skills.

Help your child learn to follow directions. To help your preschooler get the hang of 24 UTAHFAMILY.COM WINTER EDITION ‘15-’16

following directions, practice at home by giving simple commands, such as “Please help me pick up your toys and put them in the toy box.” Then, encourage your child to follow through by offering an incentive to do whatever it is you’re asking. Tell your child that he can play outside once he’s finished putting his toys away. An incentive helps him understand that following directions makes other fun activities possible. If he doesn’t follow your directions and, for example, put his toys away, calmly explain that he won’t be able to play with those toys for the rest of the day or go to the park. Keep it positive by focusing on how clean the playroom will look when you’re done. Then praise him when he’s successful. “You followed my directions so well. Thank you for helping me put your toys in the toy box like I asked you to! That was so helpful.”

Help your child master sharing and turn taking. From age 3 to 5, children tend to hoard coveted toys and objects. They’re not really ready to grasp the concept of sharing yet. But you can help your youngster practice by having him “take turns” with toys and catching him when he shares on his own. To help him develop the empathy that true sharing requires, state what he did and how it makes others feel, such as: “Thank you for sharing. It makes your sister feel good when you share the ball.” Your child should be able to “own” special or new toys, though, so keep them out of sight on play dates or in his room away from siblings. By kindergarten, children are capable of sharing well and taking turns. If your child isn’t there yet, help him get the hang of it by inviting a friend over for a cooperative task such as baking cookies. If things aren’t going well, calmly ask him to sit out. Pretty soon, he’ll get the idea and want to join in on the fun again. You can also read your child books about sharing and discuss them. In the classic tale, Stone Soup, retold by Heather Forest, for example, two hungry travelers make soup from ingredients that everyone in the town contributes. What makes it extra delicious is the sharing it took to make it.

Help your child make friends. If you get the sense your toddler or preschooler needs a little help in the social department, try hosting play dates with others your child likes or with whom she has common interests. Play dates offer an opportunity to break away from the group and foster individual friendships. You might begin by asking your preschooler, for example: “How about a play date with Grace? I notice that she likes to draw, too.” If you’re not sure who to invite over first, ask your child’s preschool teacher if there’s

anyone in the classroom who might be a good match for your child. Then, feel free to go from there and make the rounds so that your child gets the chance to know several children better. To help your child play hostess, let her pick the snack and ask her beforehand what games and activities she and her friend might like to do. On the play date, feel free to play along and stay close by to make sure everyone stays safe. But give your child and her friend the chance to play on their own, too. To help things go smoothly, keep play dates to two hours; children start to get tired after that. And keep it simple by inviting just one child over at a time.

Practice sharing. From age 3 to 5, kids aren’t yet capable of grasping the concept of sharing, but you can help your preschooler get the hang of it by having her “take turns” with toys and catching her when she shares on her own. “Stating what she did and how it makes others feel, such as: ‘Thank you for sharing. It makes your sister feel good when you share your toast,’ helps her develop the empathy that true sharing requires,” says Marcy Guddemi, Ph.D., executive director of the Gesell Institute of Human Development. You can also read your child books about sharing and discuss them.

Hone your child’s listening skills. At the dinner table and during car rides, help your preschooler hone her listening skills by asking her to wait to speak until her brother has finished his sentence. When it’s her turn, remind her, “Now it’s your turn to talk. Thank you for being patient and for being such a good listener while your brother was talking.” Explain that being a good listener shows respect for the speaker, whether it’s her brother or her teacher and the other students at school who are trying to hear what the teacher has to say. Mention that it’s a two-way street: When she’s a good listener, she’s showing the same kind of respect that she gets when others listen to her. If she continues to interrupt, keep reminding her that she’ll get the chance to talk. Becoming a good listener, like many things, can take lots of practice.

Be There at Pick-up Focus on your child. When it’s time to collect your time, be really glad to see her. Make sure you’re not on your cellphone or otherwise distracted. “Pick-up should be all about your child,” Keller says. “Your child wants to know you’re super glad to see her and that you’ve been looking forward to it all day.”
