Getting Kids to Eat Green Veggies Nonna Joann of Baby Bites gives parents tips on getting children to eat green vegetables, especially spinach. With her flavorful recipes and suggestions for encouraging children to try to new foods, Joann is a terrific “Nonna” (Italian for Grandmother) for all of us! 3. Synthetic Happiness Listen to Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, challenge the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. Our “psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things don’t go as planned. 4. Secrets of Women Who Never Get Sick They survive cold season without a sniffle. They fly in germ-packed airplanes unscathed. And they somehow avoid stomach bugs that decimate the office. Wish you could be one of these women who never get sick? Try one or — even better —all of these secrets, and you may join this club come flu season. 5. Getting Ready for Tomorrow By Steve Goodier
Sixth-grade schoolteacher
Ms. Shelton believed in readiness. Students remember
how she walked in on the first day of class and began
writing words of an eighth-grade caliber on the
chalkboard. They quickly protested that the words were
not on their level and they couldn't learn them. 6. A Great Fit in Children’s Shoes As children trade in their sandals for school-appropriate shoes, the latest trends may be top-of-mind, but a wrong fit could lead to foot injuries. "Finding shoes that incorporate protection and comfort may take some shopping around, but it will pay off in the long run," said Alice Anderson, PT, MS, PCS, a clinical team leader and physical therapist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Children's Medical Center. "In order to prevent discomfort and potential injuries, a shoe must fit just right." Get tips on finding that great fit in this article. 7. Healthy Snack Attack Be prepared for your child’s after-school snack attack with these healthy suggestions. 8. Adoption Study Contains Surprises A childless white couple who adopts from overseas is the most common perception of an adoption scenario. The results of a new study on adoption – the first survey to include men – contain surprises that challenge typical stereotypes. 9. Green Tip: Using Used From music to books, more people are “using used” these days, and it is definitely environmentally friendly. Read suggestions on where to find “non-new” items to purchase and how to clear your clutter at the same time! 10. Inspirational Quotes of the Week "Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your vocation." … Aristotle "If you have a talent, use it in every way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke." … Brendan Francis "Genius is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner who works and brings it out." … Lady Marguerite Gardiner Blessington ******************************************************************** Where is Maggie Speaking in September?
