Commentary
Resolve to put down devices and reduce screen time Electronic devices have infiltrated nearly every aspect of daily life. And thanks to the portability of today’s smartphones and tablets, many people are rarely without access to the internet or other digital applications. Active Healthy Kids Canada reports that children ages 3-5 spent an average of two hours per day in front of screens, while the statistics group eMarketer estimates that adults in Canada spent an average of nine hours and 41 minutes a day using media in 2016. The Canadian Paediatric Society states that exposure to digital media is a concern and can affect children and families. Exposure to screens can be habit-forming, and early overexposure increases the likelihood of overuse later in life. Reducing screen time has become a mantra in many households and may also be something adults hope to do in the future. The following are some ways to cut down on screen time – for both you and your children:
Keep a journal A journal can help parents log their screen time over the course of a few weeks. Jot down time spent watching TV, using a computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Some people may be surprised to learn just how much time they’re spending staring at screens, and that realization may be just what they need to make changes. Use a standard alarm clock By not using their smartphones as alarm clocks, people can avoid the temptation to begin looking at social media or e-mails even before they’ve wiped the sleep from their eyes. Make a list of goals Rather than reaching for a phone, keep a list of goals and experiences in your pocket that you can refer to when you are tempted to look at your screen. This way, you can engage in a realworld experience instead of simply looking at your phone.
Schedule media hours Set aside blocks of time when media use is allowed and resist the urge to activate devices during outside of those hours. Put away the phone or tablet Simply moving a device out of sight may reduce the temptation to send a text or hop onto an app. Remove superfluous apps Delete apps that take up too much of your time. Having to go the extra step to view Facebook on a web browser, for example, may reduce the likelihood that you will do so. Go screen-free Resolve to leave home without a phone for a few hours with the family to enjoy unencumbered screen-free time. Electronic devices can be addictive. But over time and with some concerted effort, parents and their children can cut back on screen time.

‘CANCER RESEARCHER FOR A DAY’
WCRG launches pilot program for children and their families By Matt Weingarden

The Windsor Cancer Research Group has launched a ‘Cancer Researcher for a Day’ program, a pilot project supported by the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation that uses research as a tool to empower children and youth through their cancer journey and encourage them to be research ambassadors. Research is often the main component behind a cancer patient’s hope. Understanding the importance of research in finding cures to the many different types of cancer, improving treatments and enhancing supports and outcomes for survivors and their families can be empowering. With this in mind, the WCRG created this program that will allows child/ youth cancer survivors and their siblings to participate in a hands-on research experience in a number of laboratories across the University of Windsor campus, as well as a half-day clinical trials ‘rotation’ at Windsor Regional Hospital Cancer Centre.

Dereck Lau, 13, a brain cancer survivor and sister Morgyn Lau, 11, were the first emerging scientists to experience this program. “This is a program that we have been developing over a couple years – looking at research, which is often the main component behind a cancer patients hope – we just thought that if people understood the importance of research in finding cures and developing new treatments, it might actually empower people who have gone through the experience to feel a little bit of control – which often feels out of control,” explains WCRG assistant director Karen Metcalf. “It also helps those in the labs helping patients to feel a sense of connection. Often there is a disconnection between researchers and patients.” Five University of Windsor labs participated: Dr. Lisa Porter (Biological Sciences), Dr. Luis Rueda (Computer Science), Dr. Matthew Krause (Human Kinetics), and Dr. Dr. John Trant and Dr. Siyaram Pandey (Chemistry and Biochemistry). Ambassadors Metcalf says that young people are the best ambassadors for the program. Dereck and Morgan seemed the perfect candidates to take part in the program, she added. Both youths are inquisitive, interested in science and also be able to give some solid feedback about the hands on experience. Windsor Regional Hospital’s clinical trials department and manager Krista Naccarato welcomed Dereck and Morgan to the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre on November 13, where they opened a clinical trial on squash, CT Scanned the squash and even took some squash “blood” for analysis. The day ended with an informative presentation on their findings during a luncheon in-service. “This was really a fantastic couple of days. We’ve already done some self-evaluation and the results have proven to be very positive. We’re learning what we need to do to peak the program,” says Metcalf. “The Cancer Centre has agreed to back the program twice a year and were looking to include another family into the summer program. We’re also looking to expand the program to larger groups of students and families.” For more information, please visit WindsorCancerResearch.ca

Cannabis and My Teen
What do I need to know?
Cannabis (e.g., marijuana, hashish, hash oil) is currently the most widely used illegal drug among adolescents aged 15-19. In fact, one in five teens in this age group has used cannabis in the past year and in Ontario cannabis use increases with grade level, with close to 40 per cent of students using cannabis by Grade 12. The Government of Canada has announced that cannabis will be legalized as of July 2018, which will result in cannabis being more readily available in communities across Canada. As a parent, there are important facts you need to know to prepare yourself and your child before this change comes into effect.
122 Fox Street, Cottam
519-839-6094
How does cannabis affect my teenager? Cannabis use is most dangerous for children and adolescents due to the psychoactive properties of the drug. Since the structure of the brain continues to change until around the age of 25, consuming cannabis before the brain is fully developed can lead to negative short term effects such as problems with memory, learning, problem solving, and thinking, as well as distorted perceptions (e.g., time, sights, sounds) and increased heart rate and anxiety. Teens who struggle with depression or anxiety may also turn to cannabis as a way to relax, instead of dealing with the underlying emotional issues they may be experiencing. In addition to these potential harms, just like other drugs, cannabis use can lead to addiction. In fact, the risk of developing an addiction increases to one in six if cannabis was first used in adolescence.

How do I know if my teenager is using cannabis? Teenagers’ behaviour is often up and down, and sometimes they make decisions that aren’t in their best interest. However, there are some warning signs you may detect if your teen is using cannabis, especially when you recognize multiple changes in behaviour: • • • • •
Declining school performance and grades dropping Weakening relationships with family Lack of openness and honesty Abrupt changes in friends Abnormal health issues or change in sleeping habits
What does legalization mean for my teenager? In the Province of Ontario, minimum age of access to and possession of cannabis possession will be set at 19, meaning it will remain illegal for anyone under this age to purchase or possess any amount of cannabis. The Province has also announced that cannabis will only be sold in government run stores which will be subject to the similar regulations as the LCBO stores currently operating in Ontario. Although this makes accessing cannabis more difficult, as a parent it is important to know who your kids are spending time with. Get to know their friends and their friends’ parents if possible, so you have a better idea where your kids are spending their time.
is growing again ! We are so excited to open our NEW BANWELL location!!
Despite what your teenager may think, you as a parent are the most influential figure in your child’s life. In fact, strong familial relationships help to lower the risk of starting to use cannabis as a teen. Have open discussions with your teenager about the risks of cannabis and why to avoid it. Whether it may seem like it or not, they are listening and do remember what you say. For more information on cannabis and how you can talk to your teen, please visit DrugFreeKidsCanada.org/drug-info/cannabis

Introducing
Float Therapy Story and photo by Stephanie Renaud B.A., B.Ed.
There is something new in Lakeshore. If you have never heard of it before, there is a very good chance you will raise an eyebrow when you hear about it. For the uninitiated, float therapy sounds strange. To some the thought of it might bring up just a touch of anxiety, for others curiosity laced with just a tiny bit of fear and doubt. Admittedly, climbing into a large container of water, closing the lid and staying in there for an hour does sound a bit odd, but the truth is you really need to try it for yourself to understand. Full disclosure, I am a huge fan floating and have been for quite a few years now. Windsor not having it’s own pods, I have made sure to visit my favourite spot in Toronto every time I find myself there to indulge in a session. So when I heard about Float Lakeshore back in the summer, I was eager to spread the word about this incredible therapy so that our new pods have a long life here and bring their benefits to many.
November 2017 | Windsor Parent
The facility itself has a light, clean and airy atmosphere. Natural wood, soft lighting and bright freshly painted walls adorn the small but spacious reception area. The woman at the desk friendly and kind, asks me to fill out my information on an iPad that she hands to me. I sit down and do so. Once I have finished, I am brought through the door behind her into a long, tall, softly lit hallway. I hang my coat, remove my shoes and am directed into one of the spacious rooms where the pods abide.
Each of the facilities two pods has it’s own room, and each room has it’s own shower. The design is ingenious, as the shower has no walls or dividers that separate it from the rest of the room, further adding to the sense of spaciousness that the whole facility exudes. I am asked to shower thoroughly before entering the pod to ensure that I don’t bring any extraneous chemicals or dirt in with me. She smiles and exits. The pod itself looks rather space aged. Somewhat like a very large white egg with a flat bottom and a large hinged area with a handle that is clearly where I am meant to enter. Duly disrobed and showered, I take the silver handle, pull up and open the pod. A soft blue light glows at the opposite end, illuminating the interior of the pod. It looks like a large bathtub filled with about two feet of water. I am told that there are 50 pounds of epsom salts in the water, which is what will ensure that I float effortlessly for the duration of my time in the pod. I climb in, pull the door gently closed and begin to settle into the warm water. The light is under my control and once I am settled onto my back in the water, I turn it off and close my eyes. There is music playing softly which, as was my preference, will fade out after five minutes. I could have chosen to have it play for the whole hour, but I like the silence. Being a meditator I start following my breath and allow my body to begin to relax. There is no light. No sound. I am warm and completely supported by the shallow salt water. Only the sound of my breath and the sensations of my body relaxing remain.

Time isn’t important now as I know I am in here for an hour, the music will fade back in to indicate that my time is up. Until then, my only job is to relax and enjoy. I have had people ask me if it feels like being in a coffin when I am inside a float pod and the answer is an emphatic no. The pods at Float Lakeshore are quite spacious and once the door is closed and the lights are off, there is no sense of being any where at all, let alone trapped inside something I can’t exit whenever I want to. I have full control of the whole experience. What I always find remarkable about floating is the relaxation that is able to happen within my body. Muscles I don’t even know I have are able to let go because they are freed from their eternal battle with gravity to hold my body up, even when I am lying down. It would be very easy, and quite safe, to fall asleep inside of a float pod. I am sure I have in the past. Fortunately today I am well rested so I don’t. Eventually the music begins to play softly again to indicate that my time is up, and so I turn the light back on and sit up. My body is coated with a slick layer of salty water. I lift the lid and step out into the shower to rinse the salt off of my body and out of my hair using the provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I dry and dress, feeling mellow, relaxed and at ease. Floating is beneficial for anyone who experiences chronic pain, injury, or other sorts of physical disease. It is also incredibly therapeutic for people who struggle with depression, anxiety, chronic stress and many other mental and emotional sorts of disease. Try it for yourself.

New WYC videos highlight youth homeless crisis The Windsor Youth Centre recently launched 13 hard-hitting 30-second videos that portray real moments in the lives of homeless and at-risk youth in our community. St. Clair College graduates and MoonJump video production founders and directors Jendo Shabo and Stiven Agoubi partnered with the WYC to produce the video campaign. “These videos are hard-hitting and difficult to watch because they tell the truth about why youth end up on the streets and what life is like for them,” says WYC executive director Tamara Kowalska.

Warm up with a classic hot toddy this holiday season Come the holiday season, hot toddies are ideal for entertaining, providing spirited fun and a means to chasing away the winter chill. Hot toddies have been around for centuries. Usually a mix of a spirit – either whisky, rum or brandy – hot water, honey and spices, some believe the word ‘toddy’ comes from an Indian drink of the same name that is produced by fermenting the sap of palm trees. Other sources say the hot toddy was created by Dr. Robert Bentley Todd, an Irish physician who prescribed a drink made of brandy, white cinnamon, sugar syrup, and water. The drink was dubbed the ‘hot toddy’. Hot drinks embellished with alcohol were long used for medicinal purposes. While alcoholic beverages are no longer used as medicine, hot toddies can still chase away a chill. “Grog” is another name given to hot alcoholic drinks, or any drink in which unmeasured amounts of spirits are mixed with other ingredients. Grog may also refer to a water-and-rum mixture that sea merchants once drank. The water kept the merchants hydrated, while the rum prevented the water from spoiling during voyages. The classic hot toddy can be a versatile drink used to keep guests comfortable and cheerful. This warm libation is soothing and savory, mixing citrus, honey and spices, which each have their various health benefits. Although hot toddy recipes vary, the following is the recipe for a classic hot toddy, as culled by recipes from Wine Enthusiast, Imbibe and PBS Food.
CLASSIC HOT TODDY • 1-1/2 ounces bourbon, whiskey or another brown liquor • 1 tablespoon honey • 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice • 1 cup boiling water • Cinnamon stick • Lemon wedge • Cloves or star anise Combine liquor, lemon juice, honey, and boiling water together in a mug or Irish coffee glass. Push cloves or star anise into the lemon wedge. Add the cinnamon stick and lemon wedge to the mug. Allow lemon and cinnamon stick to steep in the beverage for a few minutes. Stir and enjoy.
