Teach Teens Drinking Before it Kills Them

Alcohol prohibition in the US lasted from 1919 to 1933. Prohibition continues for those under age 21. Prohibition was repealed because it was violated so often. Given how much people like to drink, prohibition as a public policy was not realistic. In this article I suggest that we are seeing similar violations of drinking laws by young people, and that it is time to modify the prohibition on their drinking. The actions I suggest are already in place in many families.

Drinking actually seems to be decreasing among young people (according to the Monitoring the Future surveys the federal government funds). However, despite the ?zero tolerance? approach, some young people drink regularly or in large amounts. On occasion, some die from drinking. Many college students experience significant problems from drinking, more so than in previous generations (according to data collected by Henry Wechsler at Harvard?s School of Public Health). Although more young people may be avoiding drinking, the ones who do drink are having more problems with it.

I suggest that overall it would be better to teach most children and teens to drink, so that when they have easy access to it?as they do in the college years if not sooner?they will know how to handle it. How would one teach drinking? The following approach would not work for every family. Families with a history of addiction, for instance, might well choose another approach.

1) Most importantly, set a good example and moderate your own drinking. Your children will likely adopt drinking habits similar to your own. ?Do as I say, not as I do? is not an effective stance! What is moderate drinking? There are several guidelines available, including one from the US government (two standard drinks per day for men, and one for women). A standard drink is the normal serving size: a 12 oz. beer, a 5 oz. glass of wine, or a shot of liquor. Additional information is available at moderation.org, the website of Moderation Management, a non-profit organization which teaches ideas and techniques to moderate or abstain.

2) When your children are young, start by introducing small sips of wine or beer during some meals. These sips should not be enough to get a ?buzz.? They will introduce the taste of these beverages, and possibly some additional sensations. The sips may be weeks apart, or even less frequently (e.g., on some holidays).

3) As your children become teens, gradually move toward partial or full glasses. Make several points clear to them. For now drinking is an at-home activity to be engaged in with parents only. This drinking is to prepare them for the freedom they will have in the future. By knowing about and having experienced alcohol they will more easily be able to pass up temptation at teen parties. You hope that they will view getting drunk, or other drug use, as foolish rather than as interesting or sophisticated. In addition to these points, inquire about their experience of alcohol. They are now drinking enough to experience more than just the taste.

Is there scientific evidence to support this approach to preparing children and teens for their later opportunities to drink as much as they want? Unfortunately there appears to be no strong evidence on either side of this question. As parents, we need to decide on our own whether requiring abstinence until 21 (or beyond), or preparing our children as just described, is the sensible course of action. However, for millennia parents have been preparing their children for the dangers and opportunities of the world. We teach them, step by step, how to use knives, prepare foods like chicken or eggs, drive cars, swim, stay safe in potentially dangerous places, and so on. Drinking used to be on this list also. Isn?t it time it got back on?

The Importance of Car Seat Safety

Driving with children in the car must be done with the utmost in care. Young children are required to be safely strapped into a car seat. This is to prevent them from becoming airborne in the event of an accident. A car safety seat is required by law for all small children and infants. Car seat safety is very important. If they are not used properly, the risk of danger and injury greatly increases. Car seats must be used appropriately otherwise, they are virtually useless.

Infants must all be placed in a rear facing car seat. They also should always be placed in the back seat unless your vehicle does not have a back seat. A car seat should be the right size for your child. Infants that are newborn or very small should be in a car seat that allows them to lie back comfortably. Very small infants cannot sit or hold their heads up as well. Follow all size indications on your safety seat.

Become acquainted with the various types of car safety seat that is out there. There are many different brands and styles and they are all quite different. Try looking up consumer reviews that indicate which safety seat is preferred by others. Some seats are designed to double as part of a stroller. These types of functions may be of some importance to you so gather your information before going to the store.

Learn how to properly install the car seat. Read the instructions thoroughly before attempting to do it. It seems easy but the majority of car seats are installed incorrectly. Don?t attempt it without reading the instructions. The employees at your local doctor office or hospital should also be able to show you how to do it, especially if you are leaving with your new baby.

Buy approved safety seats only. Any car seat that you consider for your child should meet all of the safety requirements set by your state or country. If it does not meet those safety standards, chances are that it is not fit to protect your child. Never compromise in this situation. To do so could lead to injury or a fine due to the use of an improper safety seat.

Go online and do a search for car safety seat recalls. Though it is rare, it does happen. Most parents who have bought a recalled car seat have no idea. Use a good search engine like Google to search for news listings and sites that list product recall information for consumers.

If you leave your child with a childcare worker or other person that you trust, be sure that they know how to use your child?s car seat safely. Show them how to install it and be certain that they are doing it properly before you leave. It certainly isn?t difficult to put a child safety seat into a vehicle correctly. However, certain aspects can be overlooked which is why you must be sure. A child?s safety is no place to compromise. Use your car seat safely and it will protect your most valuable treasures.

Backyardigans Party Ideas

Dancing, singing, imagination and backyard fun describes both a great party and The Backyardigans. Here are some great tips to make the perfect Backyardigans party.

Party Decorating Ideas

With the various colors of Pablo, Uniqua, Tasha, Tyrone and Austin, a colorful party is in order! Bright primary colors represent the Backyardigans theme well. If your party is taking place in the warmer months or climate, than naturally the backyard is the only place for a Backyardigans party. But if you live in an apartment, party is during colder months or rain is in the forecast, we can still create a backyard setting indoors.

Create a gated backyard by using cardboard. Cut long pieces of brown cardboard into picket fence shapes and align vertically on the wall. Use green fuzzy carpet as grass and bright lights to make a sunny day.

Decorate the table using Backyardigans themed paper goods or use a mix of pink, purple, yellow, blue and orange. Use the same colors for the balloons and streamers.

Party Menu Ideas

The Backyardigans love to eat snacks after every trip of imaginery fun. Some of their favorites include: graham crackers, pretzels, apples, and grilled cheese.

Yeti Monster Burgers - grill some jumbo burgers and create a burger station where the kids can add whatever they want to their Yeti Monster burger.

Riding The Range Sloppy Joes - inspired from the Riding the Range Episode.

Chicken-Itza Pizza - inspired from the Chicken-Itza Pizza episode.

Party Game Ideas

With over 50 episodes of the Backyardigans having aired, recreating their adventures as party games is a matter of picking your favorites and making them doable.

For example, in the episode “Pirate Treasure”, Pablo, Uniqua, Tyrone and Austin find buried treasure, walk the plank and find the X. This is something easy for the children to recreate. Divide the children into two groups and give each group half of the map. Hide a treasure box full of goodies and have the children follow the map to find it. Walking the plank not recommended.

Another example is in the episode “Surfs Up”, Uniqua, Pablo, and Tyrone need to learn rad moves before Austin allows them to surf Tiki beach. Appoint an “Austin” and have a dance contest. Everyone who learns the rad moves can dance at Tiki beach (or another area of the party space.)

An obstacle course race like the “Race Around The World” episode is sure to be a blast as well.

Guess the episode - a game of Name That Tune. Separate the children into groups. Each group can be named after a Backyardigan. Have one person (not anyone in the groups - a mom could volunteer) hum songs. Have the children guess what song it is and then have the group sing some of the song together. The group with the most correct “performances” wins.

The most important ingredient for a Backyardigans party is to allow the children to have a great time using their imagination. After all, “they’ve got to the whole wide world to explore”, or at least the backyard.

Choosing Funeral Music

Funeral music can be an excellent way to truly capture the essence and spirit of your loved one. Though usually played softly, the music at a funeral can also shape the ceremony by reminding mourners of the type of person they have lost. Music can evoke powerful memories, emotions, and thoughts of good times.

Choosing Funeral Music

Because of this, it is important that funeral music is not chosen haphazardly. Organizers should try to pick songs that are appropriate. Many families ask a minister or music director for advice in this area. Although it is not uncommon to step away from more common or traditional songs, it is critical that you know why you are choosing a nontraditional song. You may even need to explain the song selection to the mourners, especially if it appears to the average person to be a complete deviation from the norm.

Traditional songs chosen for funerals are usually classical, religious, or soft and somber. Often these are songs with few or no words. The traditional religious songs are typically hymns or songs that haven been passed down through various generations. These songs typically have a message of hope or life-eternal, which speaks to both the deceased and the mourners at the service.

If you are seeking a more personalized song selection over a more traditional set then you need to talk to those closest to the deceased. Although you may want to ask a parent or a spouse, it may even be a good idea to start with a brother, sister, or good friend who can provide a wider selection of songs, ones that the deceased may have appreciated at a much younger age.

The Funeral March

Another important aspect of funeral music is the songs played during the funeral march. A funeral march can refer to the precession of family members as they enter the church, when they walk past the casket, as they walk out of the church, or as the casket is being removed from the church. There are commonly chosen songs for the march. These musical pieces usually convey the somberness and sorrow of the moment.

Gravesite Music

Some families also choose to play music at the gravesite. The music at the gravesite is usually played as people arrive and leave the ceremony. Some families also have a family member or friend sing or play a song here as a final farewell tribute. Here it would be a good idea to get song selection ideas from the minister providing over the gravesite ceremony, the funeral director, or the music director for your church. Most often, non-traditional songs are played at the gravesite service if they are going to be played. However, again, the reasoning behind it should be explained.

Although there are numerous songs for funerals that you can choose, the two broad categories for funeral music are traditional and personal. Many times those organizing the funeral choose funeral music by taking the mourners into consideration only. However funeral music is meant to really shine a light on the life that was lost, their essence, their personality, and all the reasons why so many people loved them.

~Ben Anton, 2008

Soccer Moms and Raising Money

There are times when the soccer team needs new uniforms and the sponsors can not afford to pay for the entire cost of these new uniforms. This is where the team depends on the soccer moms and their knowledge of fundraising come in.

Soccer moms can band together and come up with some really good ideas on raising money for new uniforms and equipment when needed by the soccer teams.

Fundraising events can be for the adults only such as a trivia night in which groups or teams of people purchase a table and then everything is included like their drinks and food. The soccer mom?s would get donations from local businesses for the drinks and food in exchange for advertising the local businesses before and during the trivia night event. The soccer moms could approach a local radio host or some other local personality to host the evening as MC or the person who asks the questions. In addition, there must be prizes and these can be donated by local businesses in exchange for visible advertising on all signs and announcements regarding the fund raiser.

Other adult only fundraisers could include a dinner and dance or a Vegas casino night. Fundraisers that could include the children are movie and popcorn night at the movie theater; bowling; a day at the amusement park or regular park or a swimming party at someone?s house or a local swimming pool.

Fundraising is mostly about donations and advertising and soccer moms know how to do both. The soccer moms know how to get the donations for the sale of items or for the prizes. They play on the sympathies of the big business or even the small businesses to get the donations. Another good way to get the donations is to offer free advertising in exchange for the donations. This is always a good way to get donations from both small and large businesses. Putting ?sponsored by:? on the signs or in the announcements with the businesses name always helps the businesses because it is like free advertisement for them and it only costs them the amount of the product or service they are donating.

Many of the soccer mom fundraisers for uniforms and equipment can include the soccer players because they need to learn the value of working for what they need. Fundraisers like dog washes; car washes; bake sales in which they make or help make most of the baked good and yard sales are all something the children can help with.

Having a soccer mom yard sale to help raise money for equipment and/or uniforms is something everyone can get involved in and it not only helps the team, it helps the environment because you are recycling old junk that you would normally be throwing away when you clean your house. The kids can clean out their room of old toys and books they no longer play with and the adults can clean the house of unused items as well.

Prepare to Bring Home the Newborn Child

At last, the wait is over and you are now officially a mother. You can now laugh at those morning sickness, pain and anxiety you have experienced for the past few months. You have been very brave that you overcome those times, and finally it’s over. While you have now your baby in your arms, you might never thought you could love a little one so much. You are in such awe and amazement of how adorable and precious your little bundle of joy is. It seems that you don’t want to ever let go of your baby, but your little one needs to be checked by nurses and you too need to get rest. All has been well and settled in the hospital and you feel very confident to have you and your baby released home.

Having you and your little one settled at home, you are rest assured that there will be no more nurses and check ups all day long and you are now free to spend all your time with your baby. But surprisingly, your rest will soon disturbed because the child won’t stop crying, you are trying to feed her, or change her diaper, and entertain her but nothing is working. And worse, she won’t stop spitting up and pooping.

With this situation, perhaps you will begin to realize that coming home is not a right choice that you are tempted to pack up your stuff and take your baby back to the hospital for a few more days of rest. We often thought that giving a little doll to a crying baby would pay off. What we seem to think may not always be true.

Don’t make mistake of taking those cases as a threat especially for pregnant moms. Rather, take it as encouragement that tells you to prepare for your upcoming baby, and staying for a couple of days in the hospital allows you to rest better. Take it one step at a time, don’t let yourself gets too excited of playing a new role as mom. Taking on too much in the beginning can make yourself sick and then won’t have enough time to spend taking care of your precious child. Avoid letting yourself act as if you are a ‘’super mommy”, you will only stress yourself out. So take the few tips below after you and your baby have been released from the hospital.

* Get rest. Do not let others disturbed you while you are sleeping. It is more better not to take visitors in the house during your first week after you have been released from the hospital.

* Swallow your pride. You obviously need someone who can help you with cleaning as well as buying all your necessities. Although you might be prepared for major essentials but sometimes forgetting little things is inevitable.

* Do not force yourself to work on some things too much during the first few weeks.

* If you have a partner, of course he should help you as far as he could. For instance, you can both reshuffle baby caring schedules. This will allow each of you to get some rest while the other one is awake.

* Long before your due date, prepare everything. If there is a baby shower party then have your baby gifts prepared already. Also, you don’t want to forget important baby supplies like baby clothing, feeding supplies, blankets, baby furniture and other caring items for your little one.

Gourmet Sicilian Sausage

If you?re against buying processed meat, or are tired of using the same old ready-made sausages, that often don?t yield the flavor you desire, you should consider making your own Gourmet Sausages for grilling.

Contrary to what you might think, making Gourmet Sausages is not a very difficult or expensive process at all. The ingredients and equipment you?ll need for this are quite easily available. Some of the specialized appliances necessary for this can also be bought low-priced, on the internet.

One of the first things that you will need, in order to make Gourmet Sausages, is a meat mincer, if buying one proves to be too expensive an option, you can simply ask your butcher to mince the meat, as per your requirement. Make sure that your meat isn?t sliced too finely, since sausages need to be quite meaty. If you do buy a meat mincer, confirm that it has the right measure of blade for mincing meat for sausages.

Another appliance you will require is a sausage stuffer, which is a simple mechanism that works like a plunger. It is called a screw-thread stuffer.

This sausage stuffing equipment can be made to function by attaching it to your food processor; however, a better option might be, to use a manually operated sausage stuffer, since you will be producing your sausages on a rather small scale, and a mechanical sausage stuffer is entirely unnecessary, unless you plan to make a large number of sausages.

Pick a sausage recipe based on your taste, you may want to stick to a simple recipe - adding 10 - 15 grams of salt to each kilo of meat, is recommended. Or, you can use a ready-made sausage mix, which already have salt added.

You can stick to using a known family recipe, or you can experiment. Try adding fennel seeds and rosemary to your mixture or make your sausages spicy by adding coriander, chili powder.

After you have got the basics right, you can go ahead and make your recipe a lot more interesting, and give it your own personal tough, by experimenting with different combinations and quantities of condiments, and ingredients.

Choose your casings carefully, since the can add to or take away from, the taste and quality of your Gourmet Sausages. You have various options, including collagen casings, sheep casings and hog casings.

Another important thing you must keep in mind, is the meat and fat consistency in your mixture, try frying some of the mixture and tasting it, before stuffing the sausages.

Gourmet Sausages are also a much healthier option, since they contain a much lower amount of fat, compared to their mass-produced counterparts. You can also be sure about the quality of meat that goes into the sausages, whereas you have no way of knowing what kind of meat is put into the ready-made variety.

Once you have tried making your own Gourmet Sausages, you will never want to revert to using the factory-produced sausages available in stores again.

Wooden Trains - Wide Variety Of Toy Trains

Boys will be boys as a famous saying goes. No matter what generation you belong you, you will always find similarities with the toys played by each. Take example toy trains, there are so many toy trains available and the kids love almost each kind. There are wooden trains, electric trains and many more. For some, they play with trains wherever they feel like it. There are those that put effort on where to play it even putting train tracks in their room.

Maintaining these toy trains depend on what their material. However, just wiping them with a clean towel to remove dust is enough. Also, try to keep the trains in a safe place so that they will have a longer lifespan. In addition, it is nice to pass such treasured possessions to the next generations knowing that this is already an antique item. Not everyone is able to get antique pieces as their heirloom because some individuals just do not care whether the item breaks down or not. For them, as long as they enjoy playing with it, that is enough.

Wooden trains are perhaps the easiest to do because there is plenty of wood. Just use your imagination and you will be able to make your own version of a train from wood. Putting on some varnish or paint can change the look of the train you made. You can even personalize the toy by adding up some accessories or designs to make it come alive. The fruits of the labor are inexplicable since you are too overwhelmed with the fact that you were able to make your own toy without any help. Nevertheless, if children want to do the same, you must be by their side when they make this project.

Let the children so whatever they want but make sure that they are safe from any harm. When something needs hammering, be the one to do it for them. They might end up smashing their fingers. When this happens, not only will they get wounds but also the pain is very evident that trauma may sink it because of the incident. However, adults must also be careful when using a nail and hammer. They might also hammer their hand or finger and they too will experience excruciating pain brought by it.

Whether the kids play with wooden trains, electrical trains or whatever trains they have, safety is also of utmost importance. Though they are toys, they can still pose threats to children and adults when not handled carefully. Finding a safe place to play with it can be anywhere. Keeping the children away from harm and avoiding it is something inevitable. All you need to do is be alert, have a first aid kit within arms reach just in case anything bad happens. It is also the responsibility of the parents or guardians to make sure that the toys they give to the kids are hazard-free. Being safe goes a long way in this world.

Tips On Getting Your Baby To Sleep Through The Night

You may feel that getting your baby to sleep is the single most challenging thing about being a new parent. Infant sleep problems seem almost universal, and it is a commonly held belief that sleep deprivation is simply a rite of passage for new moms and dads. Thankfully, this is a myth which can be dispelled.

When you were eagerly counting down the days to the birth of your child, you probably had no idea exactly how much sleep you were going to lose or what a toll it would take. While there is nothing quite as exciting as bringing a new life into the world, the level of exhaustion you are experiencing now is not something you could have prepared for in advance.

Take heart. There are simple methods to get your baby to sleep which you can implement right from the start. A newborn needs to eat every few hours, so the first few weeks can be exhausting for the breastfeeding mother who can not split the feeding schedule with her partner. Fortunately, you can easily help your baby acquire the skills necessary to soothe themselves to sleep.

Listed below are some tips on how to teach your baby to put him or herself to sleep initially and also after waking in the middle of the night.

? Once you reach the point where feedings can be spaced 3-4 hours apart, work on having a bedtime of 7-7:30. This time seems to work best for babies and it is a good habit to instill early in their life.

? If your baby is always falling asleep at the breast or during bottle feeding, change the order of the night time routine so the feeding does not occur just before bedtime, when they are at their sleepiest. Only being able to fall asleep while eating is a very common problem and a difficult one to break. Laying your baby in bed drowsy but still awake is the best way to promote the skill of self soothing.

? A warm bath can be very relaxing for an overtired baby after a day of play. Try to schedule the bath after the evening feeding, then cuddle your baby in a rocking chair prior to putting him or her to bed for the night. If you can associate a bath and rocking time with the wind down period it will help your little one be able to soothe themselves without eating.

? Make certain your baby is sleeping in the same place for naps and bedtime. If you are not doing a family bed then the crib is the best place for baby. It can be confusing to your baby if their sleeping space is often switched back and forth from a swing, to the car seat and then the glider. It is important that they have a consistent space they can learn to associate with sleeping.

? A dark room is best. If the nursery receives a lot of light during the day consider putting up darkening shades. A white noise machine or even a simple fan aimed away from the crib can be helpful to block out intruding sounds from other parts of the house.

? Say the same phrase each night such as ?It is night time, and all babies are asleep now.? This way if your baby does not go right to sleep and you need to go back in for some verbal reassurance you can repeat the same phrase.

? Help your child form an attachment to a ?lovey? such as a small blanket or stuffed animal that they can associate with bedtime. This serves as a substitute comfort in your absence.

As you are implementing the above tips remember that your goal is to help you baby learn to go to sleep by themselves. This will encourage good sleep habits throughout life. Even as adults we have waking moments throughout the night and need to be able to put ourselves back to sleep. Using these methods will teach baby to soothe themselves, and eventually they will be able to go back to sleep without your assistance. When your baby sleeps well, you will too - and any new mother knows that a good night?s sleep is worth its weight in gold!
