Commentary

Summertime By Steve I’Anson

ummertime – when the living is easy. That, at least, is according to the lyrics penned by DuBose Heyward. In the summer, opportunities abound when it comes to children’s activities. Numerous camps are offered across Windsor and Essex County. There are parks to visit, games to play and water fights to enjoy. Growing up, my parents both worked full-time so once we were old enough, my brother and I were left to our own devices when it came to summer days. When our parents took vacation time, we experienced some fantastic trips. When they were working, our days were spent making the most of our time off. Growing up, I never played minor baseball. That being said, baseball was part of our daily summer routine. Almost every weekday, a ‘pick-up’ game of baseball took place around 1 p.m. in the park that my parents’ home backs onto. We would gather as many neighbourhood kids as we could and play. For some of us, those two hours a day were the only time we spent together with some of the other kids. But we had a bond.

July/August 2016 | Windsor Parent

As I got older, baseball gradually became a thing of the past. While we didn’t have a pool, several of my friends did. Some homes I could walk to, others I rode my bike. There was always something to do and most of it revolved around outdoor activities. Many of my best summer memories don’t involve sitting watching television or playing video games. They don’t involve staying inside to beat the heat. They involve being outside running, riding or swimming. Opportunity Kids have different levels of opportunity when it comes to summer fun. But what every child has the chance to play outdoors. I strongly encourage parents and guardians to make the most of the outdoor time. Have a water fight, kick a soccer ball, sit in the shade. You don’t have to be able to afford to go to all the camps or travel here and there to really enjoy the summer. Make new memories for yourself and I guarantee you will make lasting ones for your children. I wish you all a joyous and safe summer filled with laughter and fun.

Are you prepared for a

Stress-free Summer? By Stephanie Renaud BA, B.Ed.

What can you control? Traditional discipline practices are all about control. As parenting evolves, the idea of control is losing favour and being replaced with partnership and mutual respect. We can’t “control” our kids, but we can control how many things we sign them up for, how much we expect of them, and how we respond when things get hairy. Make a list of the things you can control, and the things you can’t. Being clear about this will help you to not get crazy when things get crazy.

School’s out for summer. Day One. You are excited, with huge plans to have the most marvellous summer you have had yet. You want to enjoy your kids and you are raring to go. Day Four. The kids are fighting, complaining they are bored and you are ready to pull your hair out. Teachers obviously do not get paid enough to handle 25 kids every day, because you are losing it with just the few you have. Sound familiar? The secret to summer survival is not complicated. It does, however, require knowing what you want and PLANNING FOR SUCCESS. Because here’s the thing folks, teachers ALWAYS have a plan. This is why there are so many P.A. Days. This is why they are allowed planning time each week. Without a plan, chaos ensues. So, take a little bit of time right now and sit down with a piece of paper. How do you want to feel? Having a clear idea of how you want to feel gives you direction. It allows you to chose what you attend to and what you ignore, what you participate in and what you walk away from. Being clear about how you want to feel, and putting it down on paper is a powerful step towards bringing it into reality.

What can you let go of? Parenting stress often comes from holding on to everything, making everything your responsibility and beating yourself up when things go wrong. The fact is, it’s not all on you. Being a family is a team affair. As a parent, it is well within your power to choose to let go of the things you cannot control. Not only is this possible, it’s crucial to your sanity. Have a look at the list you made of things you can’t control. One by one, let them go. Remember that letting go is not a one time act either. It requires recognizing these things when they appear and choosing again and again to let them go. How are you going to take care of you? Self care is absolutely crucial to personal well being. As a parent, with kids home for the summer, self care can get even more challenging. It takes knowing how you want to feel, planning, and sticking to the plan. Trust me, when you take care of you, everything else gets much, much simpler.

There are Thieves Among Us! And they’re not after money or your jewelry, they are after something much more precious! Your children’s Self-Esteem! We live in a wholly negative world, there are more thieves than ever robbing your child of ever needed self-esteem! Wouldn’t you love to see your child prosper and ﬂourish with conﬁdence?

With the right plan, you may just enjoy that summer vacation you have been dreaming about since winter!

Now involve the kids. How do they want to feel? Being a family is a team affair, and just as we cannot control our children, it tends not to go so well when we don’t take their desires into consideration. When everyone knows how they want to feel, everyone can take action to make that happen.

What do they want to do? Get creative! Make a summer bucket list of activities and adventures that everyone wants to experience this summer. If some of the items are bigger, be clear about a budget and let the kids help you make the plan fit the resources. The more they are involved in creating the summer, the more fun everyone will have.

What do they not want to do? Not everyone wants to participate in everything. Knowing this ahead of time will help everyone connect with how they want to feel by planning for alternative care when someone doesn’t want to participate. Post your lists in place where they can referenced often. Revisit them throughout the summer. What you experience on the outside always reflects something that is happening on the inside of you, and so when things get hard, revisit your list. How are you not honouring how you want to feel? How are you not honouring the agreements that were made? What needs to change? Be flexible, let go of the stuff you can’t control, and above all HAVE FUN. Because, after all, that’s what summer vacation is all about.

By Matt Weingarden

Patrick Roberts had no idea what autism spectrum disorder was. In fact, he had never even heard of the disorder. But an incident at his daughter’s school changed that. “There was a boy with autism and he was only allowed to practice and not participate in any of their soccer games,” recalls Roberts. “They tried to take the ball away from him one day. “I felt bad for the young man and I decided to try to do something to help him and others like him.” In September 2008, the Windsor Soccer Club and Autism Ontario WindsorEssex RCP co-ordinator Catherine McKay – along with Roberts – started the WSC Special Stars program. In 2009, the soccer program for ASD-diagnosed children and young adults began play with 21 players on two teams. In 2011 and 2012, the league grew to 112 children and young adults on 14 teams. Today, there are over 120 players participating in the league. Roberts explains that when the league started, he sought professional advice and attended a workshop to learn more about the disorder. He did some research and began to study autism and its complexities. He applied his knowledge and through experience gained was able to bring the league together. “Since the beginning, the main focus has been to learn soccer skills, make new friends, and build up our players,” says Roberts. “With our affiliation with the Windsor Soccer Club, this allows us to make the rules and decisions with the best interest of our players and families at heart.” The organization has been playing out of the Central Park Athletics indoor facility this season. “The focus of the indoor practices is to teach the children and young adults soccer skills to play soccer games in the summer time, while making new friends, both the players and the families,” he adds. On July 17, the team will face the Windsor firefighters and on August 24, they will be playing the Windsor Stars TFC for the fifth year in a row. Money generated from that game is slated to help out the Windsor Youth Centre. “The community gives a lot to my kids – and I consider all of them my kids,” says Roberts. “This is a way for us to give back. It’s a lot of work, but I really enjoy it. We hope to continue to grow and provide a constant support for our community.”

Soccer league

While players are ages 4-19, they will accept players up to 25 years of age on a case by case basis – as long as they are not aggressive. In January 2012, the WSC Special Stars Soccer League became the Windsor Essex County Special Stars Soccer League as an OSA-sanctioned non-profit organization. The CARTSAR @ Dundee Wealth Divisions play outdoor games at Ford Test Track in summertime and also practice indoors at General Brock Public School gym at 3312 Sandwich St. in Windsor. Earlier this month, the team was invited to participate in a game with the guards from the South-West Detention Centre in Maidstone. Randy Dyer is the chaplain at the Centre and helped to organize the game. He has three children with autism. Today, he has traded his clerical collar for a pair of soccer cleats – kicking the ball around with his son David. “It’s been a lot of fun out here today,” says Dyer. “It’s a real chance to connect with my son and have some fun for him.” “I can’t stress enough with how much hard work goes on behind the scenes . . . I have two others that help, but I sure could use a few more volunteers,” says Roberts. “This is a wonderful league. Each kid is different and they deserve to play too.” Please visit WECSpecialStars.com or on Facebook for more information

Kids get arthritis too ASC launches comic book to give children age-appropriate medical information By Dan Schwab Childhood is supposed to be a carefree time filled with lots of jumping, skipping and running. However, for more than 24,000 Canadian children who live with arthritis, active play can be a challenge. With September being Arthritis Awareness Month and to celebrate, The Arthritis Society of Canada is launching a comic book on childhood arthritis, giving kids access to medical information they can understand.

Open House & Registration Day: Saturday, July 23rd 10 am - 1 pm

There is an enormous lack of useful material for young people around medicine and health – most of what exists targets adults only. How often do you see kid-friendly material when you walk into your doctor’s office? The Arthritis Society has worked closely with MediKidz, a health publisher that produces medical information specifically for children, along with healthcare professionals, families, children, social workers and patients to produce an engaging comic book to help children with childhood arthritis become more empowered and health-aware. The comic book was written by a physician and subsequently peer-reviewed by members of The Arthritis Society’s Childhood Arthritis Advisory Council. The Arthritis Society will distribute hard copies of the comic book free of charge to pediatric rheumatologists and families of children with arthritis. A digital version is available for download at Arthritis.ca/childhood. The book is based on a gang of five larger-than-life superheroes, each of whom specializes in different parts of the human body. The characters are designed to be fun and appealing to young people so that entertainment and education can happen in tandem. Why is this important? Most people think of arthritis as an “old peoples” disease, but that’s not the case. Children and teenagers can be affected by a variety of forms of arthritis, any of which can have potentially devastating effects on developing bodies. In fact, arthritis is one of the more common disorders resulting in chronic disability in children and teens in Canada. The most frequently diagnosed form of childhood arthritis is juvenile idiopathic srthritis (JIA). JIA causes severe pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints and, depending on how severe the arthritis is, can cause eye inflammation as well as impact a child’s growth. JIA affects more than three in every 1,000 children in Canada. For more information, please visit Arthritis.ca

Breathe Easier this Summer As the nice weather is upon us, the time has come for families to get outdoors and enjoy the numerous parks, recreation centres, fairs, and festivals that Windsor-Essex County has to offer. With the recent changes to the Smoke-Free Ontario Act (SFOA), parents have been able to breathe a little easier knowing that their children are protected from environmental smoke in the areas where they play and be active. Specifically, the SFOA was enhanced to ban smoking on and around playgrounds and within 20 metres of publicly owned sports fields ensuring that Ontario families are not exposed to the dangers of second-hand smoke. There are 7,000 chemicals and over 70 cancer-causing agents in second-hand smoke and there is no safe level of exposure to these toxins either indoors or outdoors. In fact, depending on factors like weather and air flow, tobacco smoke can be detected from up to 30 feet away. This is particularly concerning for children as they are more vulnerable to these toxins since they are less likely to leave a smoke filled space or complain about irritation to their breathing or comfort.

Although smoking rates have dropped dramatically since the SFOA was introduced in 2006, there remains about 20 per cent of Windsor’s population who continue to smoke either occasionally or every day. The benefits of decreased smoking in outdoor spaces however extend beyond the dangers of second-hand smoke and include changing the way children think about smoking. By reducing their exposure to smoking behaviour the SFOA has changed the previous perception of smoking as a normal part of life and as a result it has contributed to Ontario having its lowest ever rate of youth smoking uptake. In addition to the bans on and around playgrounds and sport fields, smoking has also been made illegal in other public places like restaurant patios and fairs or festivals where food or drink is served. It was found that air quality on patios where people had been smoking was comparable to that measured after a forest fire in British Columbia, or to a smoggy day in Los Angeles, which according to the American Lung Association has the worst air quality in all of the U.S.

Supportive environment Smoking bans in public spaces help to create a supportive environment for those who smoke and are trying to quit by reducing their exposure to smoking which increases their chances of making a successful quit attempt. In order to ensure that these new regulations are being followed, Tobacco Enforcement Officers from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit will be on regular patrol of the spaces where smoking is prohibited. For more information or to report someone smoking in a prohibited area, visit the WindsorEssex County Health Unit website at WECHU.org or call the Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention Department at 519-258-2146 ext. 3100.

Windsor teen to represent Canada at 2016 World Youth Chess Olympiad in Slovakia By Hailey Trealout ‘Réti’ or not, 13-year-old Rohan Talukdar is making a name for himself across the world from his home here in Windsor. Rohan started playing chess when he was three years old after watching his mother play on the computer. “I would watch her play and started to really like the game, so I just picked it up,” he recalls. Now, as an Ontario champion ranked third among U14 players in Canada, a Michigan champion by the age of eight, a second place champion in Canada U10, a second place champion in North America, a two-time representative for Canada in the World Youth Chess Championship by the age of 10, a recipient of

July/August 2016 | Windsor Parent

the Youth Achievement Award from the South Asian Centre (presented by Mayor Drew Dilkens), and one of the top six players in an online tournament – among many other accomplishments – Rohan is pushing his limits to become the best. He somehow fits learning instruments, teaching chess to other children, spending six hours a day practicing his own chess skills, and being a 13-year-old kid into his very busy schedule. To top off his impressive accomplishment resume, Rohan has been chosen to represent Canada at the 2016 World Youth U16 Chess Olympiad July 21-30 in Poprad-Tatry, Slovakia. Rohan, who will be the youngest player on the Canadian team, is honoured to represent his country at Olympiad and looks forward to the challenges that come with it.

Every day, he sits at a little table with a chess board and a laptop, memorizing different plays for when he meets his opponent at the Olympiad. “I’m working on my openings for the start of the game, when someone plays a move, I know what to do next. I memorize different openings, I watch videos and try to learn as much as I can,” he explains. “Chess can be very mathematical. When you play, you can’t just think of chess as a game, you have to go into the world of chess. You have to find out the reasons as to why the person in front of you is making that move. So I’m making my plans, and stopping their plans.” The secret to his practice? Complete focus. Rohan doesn’t take a moment of practicing for granted, and makes sure he learns something new or masters a move each time he sits down to practice. “He is very disciplined. Time is very important to Rohan,” said his father, Mridushyam Talukdar. “He also tries to help as many people as he can along the way.”

Credits his parents Rohan credits his parents for his success, and said they are a prime example for how parents should be. The main message he has for all his accomplishments goes out to parents, based off the inspiration they provided for him. “My Mom has spent so much money on me for chess tournaments and we travel a lot,” said Rohan. “Let’s say a child really likes soccer, and they’re parents don’t really bring them to soccer events. Those kids don’t get to improve. If they were brought to soccer events and had more competition, they would improve their game by a lot. Then they could reach some high expectations.” Mayuri says she and her husband sacrificed all they could to ensure Rohan would have a chance to achieve greatness. She believes children need the opportunities and the focus that can be provided by a parent to gain their fullest potential. “Rohan is a very hard working boy,” says Mayuri. “Not only in chess, but as a person. “He is very focused when he puts his Town of LaSalle, mind towards something.

Local swimmers heading to Taiwan for 50th ICG July 11-16 By Nancy Hanes 2016 marks the 50th International Children’s Games (ICG), which will be held July 11-16 in New Taipei City, Taiwan. This will also be the seventh time Windsor-Essex swimmers have participated in this world class event. The Windsor Aquatic Club and the Windsor Essex Swim Team will each have five athletes representing the region: Jasmine Aden, Christopher Corbett, Quinn DeGraaf, Madelyn Gatrall, Bailey Humber, Jack Kawa, Renee Liu, Isidora Sekaric, Zoe Tiplady, and Lucas Wang.

Pictured, from left, are Lucas Wang, Jack Kawa, Bailey Humber, Quinn DeGraaf, Christopher Corbett, coach Mike McWha, Zoe Tiplady, Isidora Sekaric, Madelyn Gatrall, Renee Liu, and Jasmine Aden. “The International Children’s Games are a great opportunity for our young athletes to compete on an international stage. They meet athletes their own age from all across the world, explore new cities and learn new cultures all while proudly representing Windsor and Canada,” said WAC head coach Mike McWha, who will lead the local team. He believes it takes a huge amount of support in order to send a team to ICG. “Without the help from volunteers, parents, coaches, sponsors and city officials, it would not be possible for our local athletes to pursue their sporting dreams,” says McWha. Angela Humber, who will also accompany the team as a chaperone, feels very privileged with the opportunity. “They are a great group of children and I look forward to experiencing this once in a lifetime athletic and cultural experience with them,” she explains. New friendships Just like the Olympics, swimmers will stay in the Athletes Village at the Fu Jen Catholic University, along with all the other athletes from around the world. It is a great opportunity to develop new friendships and learn about different cultures. Trading your country’s souvenirs is one of the highlights while mingling in the dorms. The local swimmers will be loading up on Canada Day memorabilia to make some serious trades. They have been given tips on what to bring and which countries have the best souvenirs from previous ICG swimmers. Canada towels have been a big hit in the past so this year’s team will arm themselves with a few to snag the best swaps. PLAY WITH PURPOSE

Located on the northern island of Taiwan, New Taipei City has over 120 kilometres of gorgeous shorelines with warm temperatures all year long. This small country has no shortage of awesome attractions to keep the athletes busy when they are not competing. Besides the incredible beaches, the city also has 74 nature parks, with mountains, a volcano, geysers, and hot springs. There are 950 temples and over 3,000 shrines including five major Buddhist monasteries. With so many attractions and so little time, the swimmers will be arriving in New Taipei a few days early before they check into the Athletes Village in order to do a little exploring before the festivities begin. ICG member Maddy Gatrall is really looking forward to visiting some tourist attractions like the Shilin Night Market. “It is famous for its local food and shopping,” she explained. Representing Windsor at the International Children’s Games has been a goal of Gatrall’s ever since watching her teammates swim when Windsor hosted the Games in 2013. “We have a lot of training to do before we take that 14-hour flight, but I know that our coach will have us ready to swim fast.” Jasmine Aden also feels very excited to have been chosen. As with many of the swimmers, this will be an opportunity to travel to a unique place that they probably would not have seen. “I am very happy that all my hard work is paying off and giving me the opportunity to travel to a country that I may not have been able to go to otherwise,” she says.

For a couple of other swimmers, this trip will turn into a family vacation and an opportunity to return back to their home country as well. Lucas Wang’s entire family plans on making the trip. “When we heard the news that Lucas was among the swimmers chosen, we were extremely happy for him,” said his mother, Shang. “Every family member wants to be there when he competes. Our family is originally from China, and there is a special relationship between Taiwan and China, so we also want to take this chance to know something about Taiwan, the people, the culture, the land and the food. “This will be a unique family vacation for us, not only having time to relax and enjoy family time, but more importantly, being there as our entire family supports Lucas. “We can’t wait to share in his excitement.” As the meet gets closer, the excitement builds. There is still so much to do with training, planning, and fundraising. For many of the swimmers, this will be a first time experience at an international meet. It is an opportunity to travel to a new land, or travel back home. For some, team travel will be new – a first time experience without their parents. Some have never been on a plane before. Whatever their unique situation is, it is an awesome opportunity and an experience of a lifetime for all of them. Founded in 1968 The International Children’s Games, founded in 1968, was created not only for great young athletes to compete worldwide, but also to share in each other’s cultures and traditions while promoting friendship, sportsmanship and a once-in -a-lifetime opportunity. Local swimmers have competed in Greece, Scotland, South Korea, Australia, Netherlands, and of course, when Windsor hosted the Games back in 2013.

Five tips for throwing the perfect kids’ birthday party Throwing the perfect, unique kids’ birthday party seems to get more difficult every year, with stakes raised by the best party gimmicks going viral through videos, online inspiration boards, and dedicated blogs. Complicating matters is the increasing push to make events that are socially-conscious, environmentally-friendly and that cater to individual dietary restrictions and needs. But hosting a great party that will be the talk of the neighbourhood starts with making sure everyone has fun and feels included. Follow these five tips for a fabulous kids’ party that is sure to be remembered: 1. POWER DOWN. Even little ones are spending too much time on their tablets. Give them a reason to log off, use their imaginations and play together with creative activities and old-fashioned games. Create your own piñata — it’s easy to do with instructions readily available on the web, and you can customize it to fit your party’s theme or make it your kid’s current favourite cartoon character.

July/August 2016 | Windsor Parent

2. GO GREEN. Opt for reusable plates and cups instead of disposable ones, and make sure to recycle and compost any waste.

3. ASK AHEAD. Kids can feel excluded when they aren’t able to enjoy the same foods as everyone else because of health or allergy reasons. Ask parents to let you know of any dietary needs when they RSVP so you can plan ahead, and look for product lines that accommodate dietary restrictions. Chapman’s ice cream and novelty products are a great option because they offer selected peanut/nutfree, gluten-free, lactose-free, and no sugar-added treats that everyone can safely savour. Look for the symbols. 4. INCLUDE GROWN-UPS. Parents sometimes like to stay and hang out while their kids play, so set up a nearby space for them to chat and catch up with the other parents. Be sure to prep enough food and drinks too — they’ll be delighted you thought of them and will be likely offer you a hand with the clean-up afterwards.

5. DIY LOOT BAGS. Instead of spending money on loot bags, have the kids make their own memento as a play activity. Kids can search for and decorate rocks with sparkles and washable paint to make a paperweight, or you can bake cupcakes or cookies together for them to take home. If you’re hosting really little ones, you can pre-bake the cookies or cupcakes, and have them help out with the decorating.

Many people enjoy travelling. The opportunity to spend free time experiencing other cultures or visiting faraway lands appeals to many people’s inquisitive and adventurous natures. Travelling as a parent of young children may not seem relaxing, but it doesn’t have to be a logistical nightmare. The following are a few travel tips about to go on vacation with your little ones this summer: Check your flight status. Flights are commonly rescheduled, which can be inconvenient for adult travellers who don’t have a couple of kids tagging along. For parents, though, extra time waiting at the airport with kids can be stressful and tough to handle. Before leaving the house, check your flight status to ensure you won’t be spending extra time sitting and waiting at the airport and looking for things to quell your child’s boredom. When booking the flight, sign up for flight updates that are sent directly to your mobile phone. These will keep you posted and save you the hassle of going online and checking your flight status every few hours. Check in ahead of time. Many airlines allow passengers to check in ahead of time, typically within 24 to 36 hours of the flight’s scheduled departure. When kids are coming along, the less time you spend in line at the airport the better, and checking in ahead of time can save you from waiting in long check-in lines at the airport.

Confirm what you’re allowed to bring on board. Parents of very young children should confirm what o they’re allowed to pack and bring on board in advance of their flight. m Sterilized water, for instance, might be acceptable to bring on board, but the airline might insist that it be stored in a baby bottle Contact the airline a few days before you plan to pack to learn the company’s guidelines. Different airlines might have slightly different guidelines.

Travel easily with kids in tow Explore the airport. Depending on if you will be flying a domestic or international flight, you might be spending a considerable amount of time waiting to board or even dealing with a layover. These waiting periods and layovers are boring for adults and kids alike, so use the airport to your advantage and go exploring. Kids are often fascinated by airplanes, so take them to gates or terminals where flights are about to depart. Separate kids on the plane. If you have two or more children in tow, avoid seating them next to one another on the plane. This can lead to spats that will almost certainly upset your fellow passengers. Let Mom sit with one child and Dad with another, and give kids the window seat so they can look out when the plane is in flight. Bring your own entertainment. Be sure they have plenty for them to do while in the air. Bring along a tablet with video capability to keep kids occupied. Or buy kids a new book or magazine so they have something new to occupy their time until the plane lands.

Baby on board?

Flying with infants may be something parents prefer to avoid, but there are ways to make such travel go smoothly. While there is no way to guarantee infants won’t shed a few tears during their next flight, the following are a handful of ways to simplify flying with babies: • Choose an infant-friendly flight time. Flying at a time of day or night when infants typically sleep can increase the chance that babies will sleep through much of the flight, if not the whole trip. Keep kids’ usual nap time in mind before selecting an itinerary. • Choose an aisle seat. You and your baby likely won’t make it through the flight without having to stand up and walk to the bathroom or simply walk the aisle to calm your baby’s nerves. Choose an aisle seat so you don’t have to ask your spouse or another passenger to stand up several times during the flight. • Feed your child and check diaper before takeoff. Hunger and/or wet, dirty diapers typically make infants cry no matter where they are. If you want your baby to fall asleep the moment you board your flight, make sure he or she is well fed and has a clean diaper prior to boarding. • Prepare for takeoff and initial descent. Many adults experience discomfort when their ears pop during cabin pressure changes, and infants are no different. Speak with flight attendants upon boarding, asking for advice about managing any pain that might result from popping ears. Some parents find that offering infants pacifiers or bottles as cabin pressure is about to change can help infants make it through such changes without crying. Pilots typically announce when planes are about to begin their initial descent, which may be 20-30 minutes before actually landing. Windsor Parent | July/August 2016

Nutrition

How to sneak fruits and vegetables into any recipe Fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of a healthy diet. But many people do not eat the recommended number of servings of produce. That’s especially true among growing children, who can benefit greatly from the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide. Anyone who eats roughly 2,000 calories per day should strive to consume between two to three cups of vegetables and two cups of fruit per day. Produce helps to fight disease because it contains healthy antioxidants, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Eating four cups per day may seem difficult, but there are many ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into everyday recipes: • Substitute pureed fruit, like figs, pears and apples, for oil in recipes for cakes and cookies. This will ensure the baked goods are moist but with a lot less fat. • Add fresh berries or raisins to breakfast cereals and oatmeal. • Add cauliflower or squash to boiled potatoes before mashing them to increase the nutritional punch and flavour of mashed potatoes.

July/August 2016 | Windsor Parent

• Blend fruits and vegetables to create smoothies for breakfast or lunch on the go. • Bake hearty muffins or breads with sweet potato or carrots in the batter. • Mix stewed tomatoes in with your broth soup base to make a vegetable or chicken soup even more nutritious. • Opt for vegetables piled high atop a slice of pizza in lieu of meats or extra cheese. • Divide your dinner plate into quadrants, filling half of the plate with vegetables, one quarter with meat and the remainder with a whole grain. • Replace lettuce on a sandwich or burger with a fresh leaf of spinach. While you’re dressing your sandwich, add a slice of tomato too. • Substitute fresh vegetables and fruit slices for chips when serving dips and salsas. Kale chips are growing in popularity. • Mix together an avocado, ¼ cup of cocoa powder, and ¼ cup honey to create a healthy alternative to chocolate pudding.

• Give children a cup of sliced grapes with their lunches as a refreshing and healthy snack. • Shred vegetables into a hearty “slaw” and top it with a vinaigrette or a typical mayonnaise-based dressing. • Blend other vegetables into your pasta sauce. • Use vegetables instead of pasta in traditional dishes. Layer eggplant slices to make a lasagna. Or use a spiral slicer to slice zucchini or carrots when making homemade noodles.

• Fruit salad is often a refreshing snack or dessert. Having fruit already diced in a large bowl makes it more convenient to eat and possibly more enticing to children. • Make a vegetable roll-up, filling pizza dough with broccoli or spinach and shredded cheese. • Use pureed vegetables to thicken cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese recipes. • Shred vegetables and add them to beaten eggs for omelets or scrambles.

Fitness tips for busy moms Working mothers have a lot on their plates. In addition to the responsibilities that come with raising a family, working moms also must focus on their careers. Many mothers find that managing such hectic balancing acts leaves little time for physical fitness. But there are ways for working moms to stay physically fit even as they juggle their commitments to career and family: Work out in the early morning Working out in the early morning, when the kids are still asleep and the office has yet to open, is a great way for busy working mothers to get their daily exercise. Designate a room in your home where you can spend time each morning doing some light strength training before hitting the treadmill or elliptical machine. Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week, and women who get up just 45 minutes earlier each morning can meet those requirements and then some. An added benefit to working out in the early morning is that many people who follow such regimens insist they have more energy throughout the rest of the day. Exercise with the kids Working mothers looking to find time for exercise can turn part of family time into a time to exercise with their children. Play in the yard with youngsters while dinner is cooking or go for nightly post-meal walks. Exercising with kids is a great way for mothers to get their daily exercise while also instilling a love of physical activity in their children.

Have a backup plan on hand Working out at a gym can be motivational, as many mothers want to make sure their monthly membership fees arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to waste. But there will inevitably be days when working mothers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to the gym. Prepare for such days by purchasing home workout DVDs you can play while the kids are doing their homework or after they have gone to bed. Look for gyms with childcare Many gyms now offer on-site childcare to parents of young children who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay home alone while their folks are at the gym. Gyms that offer on-site childcare may prove more reliable and even less expensive than hiring a sitter, and some gyms even offer fitness programs to youngsters, helping to ensure kids get the daily exercise they need as well. Exercise during lunch breaks If possible, squeeze in your daily exercise during lunch breaks. Take advantage of on-site exercise facilities if your company offers them. If not, take your lunch outside and then go for a walk around the block or a nearby park rather than eating at your desk. Finding time to exercise is a common dilemma for working mothers. But there are some creative ways for moms to stay fit without affecting their commitments to work and family. Windsor Parent | July/August 2016
