Budgeting for Today! Save BIG on any income By: April Lewis-Parks

Do you know where your paycheck goes? If not, it’s time to startbudgeting. Keeping track of your own expenses is daunting enough;monitoring the spending of an entire family takes even extra effort andcommitment. If you start small and involve everyone in the process,you will be on your way to a working family budget, and a plan for yourfinancial future.

Budgeting can be easy if you are given the right tools and guidelines.Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc. has a free BudgetingMade Easy booklet that you can download from their website,www.ConsolidatedCredit.org. It is a very helpful resource to get youstarted with the budgeting process. “Remember, now's a great time tolearn how to create and live within a budget. The more you put off thebudgeting process the longer you will be in financial chaos,” saysHoward Dvorkin, founder of Consolidated Credit Counseling Servicesand author of Credit Hell: How to Dig Out of Debt. “If you don't learn tomanage your money now, the headaches your debts create may staywith you for a long time,” he continued.

Find out what's draining your finances. Keep track ofwhere your money goes for a month. Use a spreadsheet, financialsoftware, or a pen and paper and categorize your expenses. Doing thiswill reveal whether you're spending too much on expenses you couldtrim, such as restaurant outings and gas. Then you can considercooking at home more often or consolidating driving trips. Cut back asnecessary without cutting out expenses important to you. The followingare some expert tips for beginning the budget process.

Start with dining out and groceries. Take budgeting babysteps and start by tracking your grocery and food budget for a month,including restaurant meals, coffee shop treats and vending machinesnacking. Keep all receipts and write down what you spent for an entiremonth. You may be surprised how quickly the Chinese restaurantdeliveries and extra bag of potato chips add up. When the month isover, you have already tracked a major category of your householdbudget – congratulations!

Now set up more categories. Some expenditures vary littlefrom month to month, such as housing (mortgage or rent), utility bills,insurance and day care. Others can fluctuate – entertainment, travel,home improvement and auto repair. Devise some basic categories,adding or combining categories after you have a few months ofbudgeting under your belt.

Analyze, cut out the fat and start saving. Look at yourspending habits with an analytical eye and cut where you can. Include amonthly savings goal in your budget and have that amount automaticallywithdrawn from your paycheck and deposited into an account.

Include the kids. Give a small portion of your budget to your kidsto control and they’ll learn the basics of earning and spending wiselywhile they’re young. The snack food or dining-out portion of yourbudget is a good place to start your pint-sized financial planner. WhenJunior sees how much two pizzas, four sodas and a round of ice creamsundaes takes out of the monthly allotment, he may even stop beggingto eat out every Friday night.

Make it easy and keep at it. Don’t get too fancy with yourbudget categories; the hassle of deciding where a particularexpenditure fits may prevent you from continuing with your record-keeping. Find a central place for receipts and pick a time to do yourpaperwork. Once or twice a week is fine. #

DRIVING MORE EFFICIENTLY

DRIVE SENSIBLYAggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas.It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, soyou may save more than gas money.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33%Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.20-$1.35/gallon

OBSERVE THE SPEED LIMITWhile each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed(or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speedsabove 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph islike paying an additional $0.30 per gallon for gas.Observing the speed limit is also safer.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23%Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.29-$0.94/gallon

REMOVE EXCESS WEIGHTAvoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones.An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%.The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to thevehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%/100 lbsEquivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.04-$0.08/gallon

AVOID EXCESSIVE IDLINGIdling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically wastemore gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

USE CRUISE CONTROLUsing cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speedand, in most cases, will save gas.

USE OVERDRIVE GEARSWhen you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. Thissaves gas and reduces engine wear.

KEEPING YOUR CAR IN SHAPEKEEP YOUR ENGINE PROPERLY TUNEDFixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions testcan improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though resultsvary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done. Fixing a seriousmaintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve yourmileage by as much as 40 percent.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 4%Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.16/gallon

CHECK & REPLACE AIR FILTERS REGULARLYReplacing a clogged air filter can improve your car's gas mileage by asmuch as 10 percent. Your car's air filter keeps impurities from damagingthe inside of your engine. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter save gas,it will protect your engine.

Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 10%Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.41/gallon

Getting the Most Gas Mileage KEEP TIRES PROPERLY INFLATEDYou can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping yourtires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gasmileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires.Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.

Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 3%Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.12/gallon

USE THE RECOMMENDED GRADE OF MOTOR OILYou can improve your gas mileage by 1-2 percent by using themanufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. For example, using10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gasmileage by 1-2 percent. Using 5W-30 in an engine designed for 5W-20 canlower your gas mileage by 1-1.5 percent. Also, look for motor oil that says"Energy Conserving" on the API performance symbol to be sure it containsfriction-reducing additives.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.04-$0.08/gallon

PLANNING & COMBINING TRIPSCombining errands into one trip saves you time and money. Several shorttrips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longermultipurpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm.Trip planning ensures that traveling is done when the engine is warmed-upand efficient. With a little planning, you can avoid retracing your route andreduce the distance you travel as well. You'll not only save fuel, but alsoreduce wear and tear on your car.

COMMUTINGIf you can stagger your work hours to avoid peak rush hours, you'll spendless time sitting in traffic and consume less fuel. If you own more than onevehicle, drive the one that gets the best gas mileage whenever possible.Consider telecommuting (working from home) if your employer permits it.

If possible, take advantage of carpools and ride-share programs. You cancut your weekly fuel costs in half and save wear on your car if you taketurns driving with other commuters. Many urban areas allow vehicles withmultiple passengers to use special High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.Consider using public transit if it is available and convenient for you. TheAmerican Public Transit Transportation Association has links toinformation about public transportation in your state.

TRAVELINGA roof rack or carrier provides additional cargo space and may allow you tomeet your needs with a smaller car. However, a loaded roof rack can decreaseyour fuel economy by 5 percent. Reduce aerodynamic drag and improve yourfuel economy by placing items inside the trunk whenever possible.

Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 lbs inthe trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2 percent. #

Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $4.08/gallon.

Being a parent is one of life’s most challenging roles. Especially duringtrying times, like a toddler’s tantrum or a teenager’s self-centeredquest for independence. Parenting can be rewarding, enlighteningand enjoyable as well as frustrating, demanding and exhausting. It isthe one job you take on with no job description, a handbook or trainingthat can only be learned through trial and error. Parents have differentviews of their children. Some of us view them as an extension ofourselves; others view their children as opportunities “to get it right”(…getting their life right), etc. Even guilt, pride and envy can be a partof parenting.

A child’s first experience of the outside world is through their parent.The experience becomes their blueprint of what to expect from theworld outside their front door. A parent’s physical and emotional healthand ability to provide financial stability are all factors that make adifference in a child’s world. Think about the child whose behavior atschool has made a marked change when brought to the school’sattention that a parent is suddenly absent from home due to illness,separation or a second job.

The experience of being a parent is an intense and personal one. Onceyou take that bundle of joy home, it is completely dependent upon youfor all its needs. It can be a lonely feeling if you do not have the rightsupport. Your only experience comes from your parents, and you mayor may not agree with all of their methods. However, once you beginparenting, you begin doing the things they have done and, as some say,you may “hear your mother or father’s words coming out of yourmouth.” Again, it is all you know, as they created your blueprint.

A person’s blueprint reflects how they were reared. Examples of thisinclude cycles of physical or sexual abuse, family stress (financial oremotional), family management problems, poor parental control, severediscipline practices, substance abuse or the parent who reports theywere doing okay until their son or daughter turned two or began middleschool. Regardless of the issue, parents need to understand theimportance of the role they play in their child’s life, understand childdevelopment and have the skills to discontinue negative behaviors aswell as increase appropriate behaviors.

The importance of making positive choices in your interactions anddiscipline choices are key components to positive rearing. A parent whoengages in negative interactions or has challenges in dealing with

behaviors will rear a child displaying negative behaviors who does notinteract well with others. The parent engaging in positive interactionsand using positive discipline techniques will rear a child who learnspositive interactions and displays positive behaviors. Parents must feelconfident in their parenting skills and empowered in order to makepositive choices in disciplining and teaching their children. There is nomanual or handbook, but with the right support systems and level ofconfidence, parenting can be a great experience. Those exhaustingdays and sleepless nights can actually pay off when you see your childtake the first steps, utter the first words and head to the first day atschool. Before you know it, you will be watching the child grow to ayoung man or woman walking across the stage for high schoolgraduation. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? #

LITERACY: The Key to Your Child’sSuccess in School and BeyondBecoming a reader is the most important skill that children acquire. Ithelps them thrive and succeed in the world of school and beyond.Learning to read was once regarded as a skill that children acquireduring their early school years. Recent studies show, however, thatmany of the skills children need in order to become successful readersare acquired before they start school. Luckily, there is a lot that youcan do at home to help your child become a flourishing reader. Youcan support your young child’s emerging reading skills today by:

Talking with your childEvery time a young child engages in conversation with a caring adultshe has opportunities to learn and practice spoken language, and toexpand and enrich her vocabulary. Surprisingly, studies show thatvocabulary size is directly related to reading ability later. Theimportance of talking with children, therefore, cannot be overestimated – including talking with very young babies before theycan talk themselves – because every conversation you have with ababy or young child is a literacy learning opportunity.

Reading books togetherExperiences with quality books every day is an important requirementfor children’s future reading success. Books help young children makeconnections between the printed and spoken word – that the marks onthe page mean something important. They introduce children toimportant skills such as rhyming and alliteration which help childrenfocus on the sounds of words. They also expose children to newinformation and ideas, which enhance comprehension skills.

The benefits of books extend beyond these, however. A well chosenbook can spark curiosity, provide entertainment or comfort, and help achild feel good about herself and her heritage. Books can becometrusted friends that are looked at and listened to over and over again.

Tips for reading with your child:1. Set the stage for story time by reading the book to yourself before

you read it with your child. This helps familiarize you with the theme, pace, and tone of the story.

2. When you read, pause and talk with your child about the pictures. 3. Speak in different voices and use exaggerated sound effects to

enhance the story for the listener. 4. Give your young child an opportunity to find or name familiar objects. 5. Encourage older children to predict what will happen in the story,

to make connections with her experiences, and to discuss the meaning of new words and concepts.

6. When the child is familiar with the book, use question prompts to encourage him to talk about the story.

7. With preschoolers begin with ‘what’ questions: “What are the monkey’s doing with the caps?” With older children, ask ‘who’, ‘where’, ‘what’, ‘how’, and ‘why’ questions.

Remember, stories are lasting gifts and even babies can fall in lovewith books. Begin reading with your child early and read often.

Creating a print-rich environment An environment rich in print is one that invites the child to participatein a world where words and symbols play key roles. Everydaymaterials such as books, magazines, newspapers, instruction manuals,information labels on foods, notes on the refrigerator, calendars, andkeyboards all introduce children to the purpose and meaning of print.When children see you reading and writing, they recognize theseactivities as valuable and they are more likely to be motivated tobecome readers and writers themselves.

You can help your child by modeling the use of print and by providingher with opportunities to use print throughout the day. Talk about whatyou are doing as you pay bills or check the ingredients in a recipe book.During a walk to the park, point out local street signs and logos offamiliar stores or products. When writing the weekly shopping list,allow your child to contribute or write his own list. Activities such asthese provide rich opportunities for children to learn literacy conventions.

Literacy has a high priority in the daily lives of adults and it must alsohave a high priority in the daily lives of children. The path to literacybegins early, it begins at home, and it begins with you, as a parent,working to create an environment where rich conversations andfrequent reading are part of daily routines. #

In fact, maternal depression can happen to any childbearing womanregardless of race, income, culture, age or education: 10%–15% of newmothers experience depression within a year after childbirth. Manyothers start experiencing it during their pregnancy. Some women refuseto tell anyone about their symptoms because they feel embarrassed,ashamed, or guilty about feeling depressed when they are “supposed tobe happy.” They fear that by admitting they have a problem they will beviewed as an unfit parent. Having maternal depression does not meanyou are a bad mother. You and your baby don’t have to suffer. There ishelp. The first step is recognizing that you need it.

Baby Blues or Real Depression? The blues that accompany thehormonal ups and downs of pregnancy dissipate within a few weeksafter giving birth. Maternal depression, on the other hand, will not goaway so easily. It may not even manifest itself until 3 months, 6 monthsor even up to two years after your baby is born. On the other hand, itcan start to affect a mother and baby as early as the first trimester ofpregnancy, when hormone levels start to fluctuate. Maternal depressionaffects a woman’s well-being and keeps her from functioning well.Sadness, lack of energy, trouble concentrating, anxiety, hopelessnessand excessive concern about the baby’s health and safety are amongthe possible indicators of this condition.

Any of these symptoms during and after pregnancy that last longer than two weeks are signs of serious depression:• Feeling restless or irritable • Feeling sad, hopeless, and overwhelmed • Crying a lot • Having no energy or motivation • Eating too little or too much • Sleeping too little or too much • Trouble focusing, remembering, or making decisions • Feeling worthless and guilty • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities • Withdrawal from friends and family • Having headaches, chest pains, heart palpitations (the heart beating

fast and feeling like it is skipping beats), or hyperventilation (fastand shallow breathing)

• Fear of hurting the baby or oneself • Lack of interest in the baby.

Maternal Depression Needs to be Treated. Treatment can make a big difference for both you and your baby.Counseling, support groups, parental training and even medicines arethings that can help. The first step in dealing with maternal depressionis admitting to yourself and others that you feel sad. Do not be afraid orembarrassed to ask for help.

Help can come in many forms: your family; your friends; othermothers; your clergyman … and sometimes you may need to seekprofessional help. Consult your doctor. If your depression is verysevere, your doctor may refer you to a psychotherapist to help you

Maternal Depression?Not me!By Ellen Anderson, Director of Development, Healthy Mothers-Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County, Inc.

“talk out” the causes of your depression and help you find copingmechanisms that work for you. Sometimes anti-depressant medicationmay be prescribed in order to balance out plunging hormone levels.Always remember that postpartum depression is very common andinfinitely treatable.

It’s Not Just About You!Depression not only affects you as the mom, but everyone around andeven in you. Think about your baby ... Depression and anxiety duringpregnancy can increase blood flow through the umbilical cord,potentially causing your baby to have a lower birth weight, smallerhead size, and possibly delayed brain development. If you aredepressed or anxious after your baby is born, you may have difficultybonding with your baby and this, in turn, can affect your baby’sdevelopment and behavior.

Remember the adage, “If mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy?” Yourillness also adversely affects your partner and other family members.They love you. They want you to be happy. They need you not to besad … postpartum depression doesn’t just hurt mom. It hurts theentire family, especially your baby. Help is just a phone call away. #

According to the latest statistics, 5.3% of all infant deaths in Florida areattributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and sleep relateddeaths. There are definite steps that one can take to help reduce therisk of your baby becoming a victim of this tragic statistic.

Creating a safe sleep environment is extremely important for everybaby. First and foremost, each baby should have their own separatesleep space. Infants should be placed for every sleep in a crib that hasthe appropriate sized mattress, slats that are no more than 2 3/8” apart,is in good repair and has a tight fitting crib sheet with no bumper pads.The crib should also be free of toys, pillows or loose blankets. TheAmerican Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies share a roomwith their parents, not a bed. Many people believe that co-sleepingpromotes breastfeeding and bonding; however, adult beds harbor manyhidden dangers.

Adult beds are exactly what the name implies, beds for adults and notbabies. Each year, babies die as a result of sleep related incidents thatoccur in an adult bed. Loose bedding, pillows, fluffy blankets, softmattresses and waterbeds all pose a risk for a baby. Sleeping adultsthemselves can be potentially harmful to the baby. When a baby issleeping in the same bed as an adult, they can become the victim ofoverlaying and accidental suffocation. Sleeping adults are not aware oftheir movements during sleep, and can smother the baby or push thebaby into the pillow or mattress. This tragedy can be avoided by simplyplacing babies in their own crib.

When putting the baby in their crib, it is always important to rememberone thing – “back to sleep”, meaning placing the babies on their backto sleep.

Since the initiation of the “Back to Sleep” campaign by the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics (AAP), the incidence of SIDS has been reduced

“Now I lay me down to sleep…safely”By Jennifer Combs, MSN, ARNP, Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County, Inc.

by 50%. The AAP recommends that babies should be placed on theirback for each and every sleep. Since many parents rely on outsidecaregivers to help with the care of their babies, it is important thatparents are strong advocates for their children when it comes to safesleep. They should make sure that the caregiver knows to always placethe baby in a crib on their back for each and every sleep time. It shouldalso be stressed to the caregivers that it is never acceptable to placethe baby on their stomach for sleep. So you have the safe crib, in thesame room as the parents and the baby is on its back. What else canbe done to promote safe sleep for baby?

One of the latest recommendations from the AAP for reducing the riskof SIDS is that babies should be given a pacifier when they are placedfor sleep. If it falls out, while they are sleeping, it is not necessary forthe parents to place it back in the baby’s mouth. And for breastfeedingbabies, use of the pacifier can be delayed for one month until goodbreastfeeding has been established.

It is also recommended that the temperature of the baby’s sleepenvironment be between 70-72 degrees Fahrenheit. Parents should becareful not to overdress the baby. Overheating is a known risk factorfor SIDS. This environment should also be smoke free. Even secondhand smoke can increase the baby’s risk for SIDS.

As you can see, there are many things that you can do to reduce therisk of your baby becoming a victim of a sleep related incident orSIDS. By implementing safe sleep practices in your own home, you toocan be singing the last verse of the lullaby: No one’s as dear, as babyto me. Wee little fingers. Eyes wide and bright. Now, sound asleep(safely), until morning light. #

Did you know that in 2007, there were 942 children involved in non-traffic incidents, including unattended children in or around motorvehicles? Out of these 942 incidents, 232 children died. What parentsoften think of as a safe place for children can harbor many hiddendangers. These range from children being trapped in a trunk, to beingaccidentally run over by a motor vehicle, to suffering heat stroke orbeing strangled by a power window. The good news is that withincreased awareness and education we as a community can helpdecrease these needless accidents from happening.

What starts as an innocent game of hide and seek can turn deadlywhen a child climbs into the trunk of a car and becomes trapped. Tokeep this from happening, parents can take a few steps to decrease therisk. All motor vehicles should be locked even when in the driveway orgarage. Car keys and remote access devices should be out of the reachof children. Parents or caregivers should look through the entire carbefore locking it to ensure that everyone is safely out. Since 2002, allmotor vehicles are equipped with glow in the dark trunk releasehandles. Children should be taught by parents that cars are not aplayground and how to use the release handles.

Another hidden danger in motor vehicles is power windows. Each yearchildren suffer permanent injury or even death as a result of these. Thetype of power window switches in cars in the USA is easily triggered byunsuspecting children. Often, when children stick the head, body orextremity out of the window, they will accidentally put pressure on thepower switch, triggering the window to go up. Power windows canhold up to 80 pounds of pressure and can easily trap a child.Unfortunately, some of these children die from strangulation or suffersevere permanent injuries. Currently, there is legislation before

Kids and Cars:The Hidden DangersBy: Jennifer Combs, MSN, ARNPHealthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County, Inc.

Congress to ensure that all new motor vehicles will be equipped withpower switches that will not be able to be easily triggered by children.

Power windows are not the only hidden danger for children. A majorcomes from being left alone in a car. In South Florida, we deal withextreme hot weather on a daily basis. Unfortunately, people still leavechildren unattended in their motor vehicles. This may be intentional oraccidental, but the result is the same: between 1998 and 2008, in theUS, 373 children died of heat stroke from being left unattended in amotor vehicle.

In a child, their core body temperature can rise 3 to 5 times faster than anadult’s, causing brain injury or death. When the temperature outside is 93degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature in the car can reach above 120degrees within 20 minutes, even with the window cracked. Children donot have the developmental ability to get out of the car by themselves.

There are several tips that parents can follow to help decrease thechance that their child will be left behind in the car. Parents can placean infant toy on the front seat next to them, to remind them that thebaby/child is in the back seat. They can also place their purse orbriefcase in the back seat next to the child, so that they will have tolook in the back before they lock the car.

One other danger children can fall victim to is that of being run over bya motor vehicle in a driveway or parking lot. Each year, a number ofchildren lose their lives as a result of being backed over by a motorvehicle. This tragedy occurs more often these days because of thelarger vehicles that we drive. SUV’s and trucks often have large blindspots that virtually hide a small child from the driver’s view. To helpprevent this from happening, parents and caregivers should take fiveseconds to walk around the motor vehicle and “Spot the Tot.” Bytaking the time to ensure that no children are near the car, we canprevent this tragedy happening.

As one can see, the dangers that exist for children and automobiles arevery real. But with increased awareness and education, we caneliminate these dangers. #

Is your child’s life in danger? If you live in the State of Florida,the answer to that question would be a resounding “yes!”Florida ranks 3rd in the nation for childhood drowning and inBroward County, it is the number one killer of children ages 4and younger. Water holds a certain fascination for children andan unprotected pool is a serious safety hazard. Long beforethey take standardize test in school, they face the danger ofdrowning. For every child that drowns, four others arehospitalized for near drowning with most of them sufferingfrom irreversible brain damage.

However, there are many ways to prevent drowning; just askthe experts. Nicole Dino, the Aquatics Coordinator at the newMiami Children’s Hospital/Dan Marino Aquatic Facility says,“one of the most important things is to get swimminginstruction at the earliest possible age.” Dino also adds that itis necessary to maintain a balance between positive motivationand structured discipline when teaching children to swim.

The easiest way to prevent water tragedies is to use multiplebarriers, commonly referred to as three layers of protection.Michael Turner, the Aquatic Supervisor for the City ofLauderhill, emphasizes the importance of parent supervisionwhenever children are around bodies of water. He adds thatchildren are most likely to drown in their very own backyardafter missing for less than three minutes. If a parent does losesight of their child, the second layer of protection is to makesure that a working pool fence is installed and checkedfrequently to ensure a child cannot access the pool byclimbing over the fence or opening the gate themselves. Patiofurniture can become an easy ladder to climb over the fence.

The third layer of protection is having your child take refresherswimming lessons every year, and for parents to learn CPRand First Aid. If a child is missing, seconds count so check thepool or canal area first; it may be the difference between lifeand death. If we all band together and follow the three layersof protection, we can end the horrors of childhood drowning.

Each year, thousands of children enroll in a school or child care centerprotected against over 10 vaccine preventable diseases. Immunizationagainst vaccine preventable disease is among the most significantpublic health success stories of all time! Today, vaccine preventablediseases are at or near record lows all because of efforts to make surethat children are properly immunized. To underscore the importance ofimmunizations, 74 organizations wrote a letter to Congress on June 2,2008, jointly impressing the importance of a strong science basedimmunization policy. The list of diseases that have been nearlyeliminated by vaccines is long, and millions of lives have been saved asa result. Yet, vaccine preventable diseases can and will return ifimmunization rates begin to decline. That is why the Broward CountyHealth Department has made immunizations for children under the ageof 2 one of its number one priorities.

Vaccine preventable diseases are spread from person to person andcan spread into communities, affecting infants that are too young to beimmunized and those suffering from immunodeficiency disorders.Measles, for example, is a common disease that most have heardabout, but few under the age of sixty even remember. As a highlycontagious acute viral disease, it can result in serious complicationsand death. As a result of a successful U.S. vaccination program,measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. However,as more parents choose not to vaccinate their children, the implicationscan be profound.

Before introduction of measles vaccination in 1963, approximately 3 to4 million persons had measles annually in the United States;approximately 400-500 died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000developed chronic disability from measles encephalitis. Even witheffective measles vaccine, imported measles has continued to create asubstantial U.S. public health burden. Because these cases resultedfrom unvaccinated individuals arriving in the United States, the findingsunderscore the ongoing risk for measles among unvaccinated personsand the importance of maintaining high levels of vaccination. (MMWRMay 9, 2008 / 57(18); 494-498 Measles --- United States, January 1-April 25, 2008).

Each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launchthe National Immunization Week campaign, designed to bringawareness of the importance of infant and childhood vaccinations. Onefocus during the April, 2008 National Infant Immunization Week eventsof the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and theCDC was to encourage parents to become informed medical consumersby talking to their healthcare providers and asking them questionsabout vaccines. The goal is to make sure that every infant and child areadequately immunized against such dreaded diseases as diphtheria,tetanus, polio, meningitis, hepatitis, influenza, and chickenpox.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ConsumerHealth Information advises parents to take the followingsteps before vaccination: (1) Review the Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) – these

information statements explain to parents or legal guardians boththe benefits and risks of a vaccine. Health practitioners arerequired by law to provide them;

(2) Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risk of vaccines; (3) Tell your doctor about bad reactions; (4) Ask about conditions under which your child should not be

vaccinated; and (5) Report adverse reactions.

The Broward County Health Department is making every effort to reachthe Healthy People 2010 Objective in assuring 90% immunizationcoverage levels for infants and children. Involvement in communityoutreach activities, private partnerships, and access to free immunizationsare some of the strategies that are in place to reach this goal.

If you‘ve been to the supermarket lately, you may have found yourselfwondering whether your imagination is playing tricks on you.Unfortunately not: some food packages have shrunk, the price of mostitems has gone up and yes, you are spending more money for less food.

As salaried and good paying jobs are not keeping up with the cost ofliving, this situation is affecting everyone across the board, creating asense of urgency and a need for immediate action. The questionsremain, however: how to feed a ravenous teen, a picky toddler, or agourmet husband or wife who believes in going organic while on thesame family budget? Can it be done?

YES, IT CAN! With a wide variety of food selection available, thanks tolocal production, importation and globalization, it is possible tocontinue to eat healthy on a budget. It’s not hard to find fresh, frozen orcanned food to fit almost any budget. Here in Florida, supermarkets,farmers’ markets and flea markets offer a variety of expensive andinexpensive food choices. Consumers need to take an educatedapproach to shopping for food and make adjustments on theirshopping lists to bring affordable food to the dinner table.

Here are some suggestions to assist you in keeping abalance between your budget and healthy meals.

1. Plan your shopping list before going to the supermarket. Salesmay tempt you toward making unnecessary purchases.

2. Include on your list a variety of foods according to the FoodPyramid. Junk food and heavily processed food are frequently lessnutritious and more expensive.

3. Shop for your family size. Buying wholesale or family sizepackages may cause small families to overeat or to waste food.

4. Choose the appropriate packaging size for each item consumedin your family. Compare the unit price and keep in mind how ofteneach item is consumed in your household. Food consumed everyday may save you money if bought in larger packaging size.

5. Take advantage of seasonal items, they are frequently cheaper.

6. Take your time to shop, comparing prices and nutritive values.Store brands are frequently nutritionally comparable to brand nameitems at a price often cheaper than name brand products on sale.

7. Use fresh fruits and vegetables for the first days after shopping anduse frozen and canned foods for the rest of the week to avoid waste.

8. Prepare food for more than one meal, refrigerate or freezeadditional meals soon after preparation to avoid spoilage.

9. Use leftovers for stews or other appropriate dishes.

Healthy Eatingon a BudgetBy Maude Heurtelou, SPHN, Broward County Health Department

10. Casseroles may be healthier and cheaper than dishes wheremeat is the main ingredient. Vegetable based soups are fillingand inexpensive.

11. Beans, nuts and eggs are cheaper sources of excellent proteinand there are many ways to include them in salads and othermeatless recipes.

12. Find out when organic choices are really better, because theytend to be expensive.

13. To avoid impulse shopping, only shop when you are less rushedand never on an empty stomach.

14. Cook from scratch whenever possible and limit restaurants andtake out.

15. Soaking beans overnight or using a pressure cooker areexcellent ways to save time and money.

16. Cutting back in portion sizes and avoiding second helpings cancontribute substantially to a healthier and cheaper lifestyle.

Finally, here are some healthy foods that yield both volume andnutritive values. They are very popular in most household recipes andthey continue to be well appreciated by people of all ages. If youinclude old fashioned Oatmeal, potatoes, eggs, beans, peanut butter,seasonal fruits and vegetables, brown rice, milk and whole wheatbread from grocery shopping, you are sure to please the familywithout digging a hole in your pocket. #

Begin by visiting several early care and learning programs. On eachvisit, think about your first impression and:

1. Look • Does the center or school look safe for your child? • Do the caregivers/teachers enjoy talking and playing with children?• Do they talk with each child at the child’s eye level? • Are there plenty of toys and learning materials within the

child’s reach?

2. Listen • How does the child care setting sound? • Do the children sound happy and involved?• What about the teachers’ voices; are they cheerful and patient? • A place that’s too quiet may mean not enough activity. • A place that’s too noisy may mean there is a lack of control.

3. CountCount the number of children in the group, then count the number ofstaff members caring for them. Obviously, the fewer the number ofchildren to each adult, the more attention your child will receive. Asmall number of children per adult is most important for babies andyounger children.

4. AskIt’s very important that the adults who care for your children have theknowledge and experience to give them quality care. Ask about thebackground and experience of all staff, including the program director,caregivers, teachers and any other adults who will have contact withyour child in the home or center.

5. Be Informed Find out about efforts in your community to improve the quality of child care. Is your caregiver/provider involved in the activities toimprove quality?

6. ChooseConsider your options: child care centers, family child care homes,Head Start, Pre-Kindergarten Early Intervention, school-age programsand summer camps.

7. Call Before making a final decision on a program, call to find out if thatcenter has had any violations and, if so, what they are.

Consider Your OptionsYour first question should be, "What type of care best meets mychild’s needs?"

Several types are available outside the home. Each offers its own benefits:

Child Care Center This is care and educational activity offered to a group of children in anon-residential setting accommodating more than five children.

Child Care Home This is care and educational activity offered to a group of five childrenor less in the home of a person who provides the care and is licensed.

Head Start & Pre-K Early Intervention These programs are open to children from low-income families and/orthose with special needs. Programs are typically located on schoolcampuses or in a community setting and generally follow the school-year schedule.

School-Age Child Care These are programs for children ages 5 through 12 covering out ofschool time. These may be in schools, child care centers, family childcare homes, youth organizations and faith-based organizations.

Summer Camps These camps are offered in public and private settings includingcounties and municipalities. Licensing is not required. #

Choosing QUALITY Child Care

Selecting the right after-school and out of school program for childrenand youth with disabilities can be a stressful and anxiety producingevent for parents, caregivers and their children. This is a time forbalancing the needs of the family with the needs of the child. It’s a timeto balance work schedules with aftercare needs. Children with SpecialNeeds often require accommodations as well as an opportunity toreinforce skills learned during the regular school day. These programscan offer the needed mix of academics, recreation, social skill,employability skills and communication skills. It’s always a good ideato have your child involved in the process to whatever extent they canmanage. This allows them to begin the process of self-advocatingwhich will be so important as they get older.

To find the right solutions to your child’s program needs,you need to ask the right questions. Before visiting aprogram ask yourself the following:• Which program is best; a five day after-school program, a three day

program, an inclusionary program, or a combination of these? Whatwould my child prefer and what would best meet his/her needs?

• Would my child benefit from a more relaxed, recreational program or a structured routine that’s closer to the everyday school experience?

• How much time do I need away from my child to recharge mybatteries and continue to be a patient, loving parent?

• Would a mix of after-school and home be better than an entire yearof either?

• Would my adolescent benefit from a program that stressedemployment, social, and communication skills? Can he/she handlepart time or full time?

• How will my choice of program impact my other children?• Does my child need a program that focuses on lifeskills?

Quality After-school Special Needs programs are designed toaccommodate the individual needs of those participating. They should beable to provide opportunities for your child to interact with non-disabledpeers in low pressure environments. They should be close to home,provide opportunities to socialize with peers with similar disabilities, beable to make necessary accommodations for your child, provideopportunity for family networking, have trained and experienced staffthat can deal with specialized medical or behavioral situations, and havemoderate to high levels of supervision (staff to student ratios).

To narrow your search, here are some more questions to ask:• What activities will my child participate in? Who supervises them?• What are the discipline rules? Can the program implement some of

my child’s educational goals?• Are services such as speech, occupational or physical therapy

available? Is swimming instruction part of the program? Is theretime for completion of homework?

Disabilities and Special Needs:Choosing the Best After-School Program

By: Herm Fishbein, Ed. D., Special Needs Project Manager, Children’s Services Council of Broward County

• Are community field trips included? Are lunch and snacks provided?• Can a 1 on 1 aide be provided if my child needs it? Can student to

staff ratios be modified?• Will the program supply the names of other families to use

as references?• Are there ample opportunities during the day, to work on you child’s

social and communication skills?• Are services available on days when there is no school?• Will my child benefit from being in a more inclusive setting?

Once you have narrowed your choices, speak with the Director orService Provider Head in person. Tour the facility and look for bright,cheerful rooms, staff involved with children, look for lots of interestinglearning material and activities, and check the staff to student ratio.Make note of the length of time the program is in session. Spend timeobserving and listening. Some after-school programs are run incommunity settings, such as schools or houses of worship. Others arerun by private or not-for-profit agencies.

A few questions to ask:• Is the program licensed or approved by the state?• Is it accredited or working towards accreditation?• May I see your policy handbook and/or Mission statement?• How do you handle sick children?• Do you have orientation for new families? How do you

handle transitions?• How is discipline administered?• Are there any toilet training requirements?• Are the buildings physically accessible?• What guidelines are used with children with special needs?• How are families involved in the program?• How experienced/trained is the staff?• What transportation services are available?• Is a particular program philosophy being followed?

A quality after-school program will challenge your child in all the rightways. It will provide opportunities to try new things, meet new peopleand allow opportunities for creative play, communication, andsocialization. Programming will be strength-based, centered on yourchild, and provide for lots of opportunity for success. The program willhave measurable outcomes and provide a positive learningenvironment. Good Special Needs programs treat parents as partners,have trained experienced staff, respect children and parents, engageyouth, and provide activities that will lend support during the schoolyear. Take the time to ask the right questions and your children willhave a wonderful experience. No question about it. #
