EVENTO del Mes: Primer Taller bkbmoms
Dear Brickell and KB mom, It has been only about forty years since we started commemorating earth day. It is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. How can we do a better job of caring for our planet? Teaching our kids to appreciate earth is essential to help them become environmentally conscious. There are so many things we can do in our homes to help the environment.

EVENT: On February 16 we had our first bkbmoms’ workshop. A special thanks to the twenty-two participants who joined us on a rainy long weekend! I very much appreciated seeing all participants as I understand that as moms there are always other priorities. Our main collaborators in making the workshop possible were, the new preschool in the area: Brickell International Academy as well as Novecento and Roberto Giordano. Experts in family therapy and education shared their views and experience and addressed the question of whether one learns to be a mother or it is second nature. Adriana Lobato, family counselor born in Brazil and raised in Venezuela, specialized in the field of family psychology centered her discussion on transitions. Broadly speaking the main idea is to learn to be flexible, face the change with joy and share lessons learn/concerns with other moms. Miquel Aura preschool teacher at Brickell International Academy with a degree in Education, stressed the importance of seeking support groups like bkbmoms and focused her talk on creating structure around family life. Kids respond better to routine and for us moms it all becomes more manageable. The first bkbmoms workshop was a success and the first of many more meetings, formal and not so formal. You can find a video of the talk at our website or on facebook@/brickellandkbmoms
El 16 de Febrero pasado tuvimos nuestro primer taller/charla bkbmoms. Quiero agradecer especialmente a las veintidĂłs participantes que nos acompaĂąaron un sĂĄbado lluvioso y de fin de semana largo! Valoro muchĂsimo la concurrencia ya que se que como mamĂĄs siempre hay otras prioridades antes que el hacernos tiempo para nosotras. Colaboraron principalmente con nosotros en hacer posible esta primera reuniĂłn, la nueva escuela preescolar en la zona Brickell International Academy, Novecento y Roberto Giordano. Las expertas en terapia de familia y educaciĂłn compartieron con las participantes sus perspectivas y experiencia y abordaron la entraĂąable pregunta de si se aprende a ser mamĂĄ. Adriana Lobato, especializada en el campo de la psicologĂa familiar y con aĂąos de experiencia en el dictado de charlas y talleres sobre la crianza de niĂąos y la vida familiar centrĂł su charla en las transiciones. A grandes rasgos lo principal es aprender a ser flexible, hay que enfrentar el cambio con gozo y compartir lo que se aprende con otras mamĂĄs. Aura Miquel docente de preescolar tambiĂŠn nacida en Venezuela y licenciada en EducaciĂłn, recalco lo importante de buscar apoyo en grupos como el de bkbmoms y focalizĂł su charla en crear estructura alrededor de la vida familiar. Los niĂąos responden mejor a la rutina y para uno como madre resulta todo mĂĄs manejable.

#Z /BUBMJB 1JO[ÓO /VUSJUJPOJTU We all want what is best for our children. But, sometimes, what is best is not so clear. In this article, Nutritionist- Natalia Pinzon demystifies five very common nutrition misconceptions for preschoolers, so that you can better guide your little one into a happy, healthy life: Event: first bkbmoms’ workshop Evento del Mes: Primer Taller bkbmoms
Wellness Corner YOU: FIT SUCCESS Principals By Angelique Millis, Fitness Expert & Author Let’s face the truth - There is no substitute for good old fashion hard work and a clean diet that XJMM HJWF ZPV UIF CPEZ PG ZPVS ESFBNT * BN IFSF UP TIBSF XJUI ZPV 4VDDFTT 1SJODJQBMT UIBU XJMM help you create positive habits for LIFE and put you right on track to achieving your fitness and weight loss goals! Success Principal #1: Discipline- Don’t Just Dream...DO! Anything is attainable if you can learn how to practice discipline. Just like any success principal, you must start small to build up your tolerance levels. Whether you have a weakness for sweets or simply dread the thought of working out, the first step is discovering what is inhibiting you from your success and making daily mental notes and positive changes Success Principal #2: Nutrition 101 Once you learn the power of protein, the best foods to eat and equally as important, what foods you must avoid, you will have a much clearer picture of how you can use the power of nutrition to pave your way to flat abs, defined arms and a striking physique that you will be able to maintain for life! For example, you should know the difference between “good� carbohydrates and “bad� carbohydrates. It’s actually pretty simple – stick with fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and whole grains. Another easy rule to follow: if it is white (white sugar, bread, rice, or potatoes) – it just ain’t right! Success Principal #3: Moderation -FU T GBDF JU OP POF DBO CF QFSGFDU BMM PG UIF UJNF BOE UIF LFZ JT NPEFSBUJPO 1MBO POF PS UXP meals each week where you reward yourself by indulging in your favorite “cheat� food. Whether its pasta, ice cream, or margaritas that you love, if you are “good� the majority of the week you can enjoy one or two of your favorites without the guilt! To learn more tips and techniques on easy and effective food planning, preparation, healthy recipes and tips, visit www.AngeliqueMillis.com
Myth #1: Fruit juice is healthy: Fruit is the best choice. All fruits are loaded with vitamins, have fiber that keeps their little guts healthy, have a third of the sugar that juice has, and most important, children love them! If you are having a hard time eliminating fruit juice from your child’s diet, limit it to 4 ounces of 100% fruit juice per day. If they are thirsty, the healthiest choice is always water. Myth #2: I should limit my preschooler’s intake of fat. You might benefit from a low-fat diet, but that is not necessarily the case for your preschooler. Fats help build connections between the nerve endings of your child’s brain, which is necessary for brain development at their young age. Whole milk, cheese and yogurt are especially important for 1-2 year olds because they contain saturated fat, which plays a major role in building the nerve connections we mentioned earlier. Most children 2 years and older can switch to 1% fat milk and dairy products, which still contain a healthy amount of fat for their brains, while preventing excess weight gain. Fish, olive and canola oils, avocados and peanut butter are other examples of fat sources your child will surely love and benefit from. Myth #3: Offering candy, as a reward for eating their veggies, is a good idea: Offer your child a variety of healthy options to pick from. Maybe they can pick between carrots, peas, or broccoli when deciding a veggie for dinner. They are more likely to eat a food if they were part of the decision-making process. You can also offer a healthy reward unrelated to food: “after we finish all of our veggies, we can go to the park.�
NiĂąos Saludables Todos queremos lo mejor para nuestros hijos. Pero, a veces, lo mejor no es tan claro. En este artĂculo, la nutricionista-Natalia PinzĂłn desmitifica cinco conceptos errĂłneos muy comunes en torno a la nutriciĂłn para niĂąos en edad preescolar. Ellos te permitirĂĄn que puedas guiar mejor a tu pequeĂąo hacia una vida feliz y saludable: Mito #1: El jugo de fruta es saludable: La fruta es la mejor opciĂłn. Todas las frutas son ricas en vitaminas, contienen fibra que mantiene sus intestinos pequeĂąos sanos, contienen una tercera parte del azĂşcar que el jugo tiene, y mĂĄs importante, a los niĂąos les encanta! Si estĂĄs teniendo dificultades para la eliminaciĂłn de zumo de fruta de la dieta de tu hijo, limĂtalo a 4 onzas de 100% de jugo de fruta por dĂa. Si tienen sed, la opciĂłn mĂĄs saludable es siempre agua. Mito #2: Yo deberĂa limitar el consumo de grasas. La mayorĂa de la gente podrĂa beneficiarse de una dieta baja en grasas, pero eso no es necesariamente aplicable a tu hijo en edad preescolar. Las grasas ayudan a construir conexiones entre las terminaciones nerviosas del cerebro de nuestros niĂąos, que es necesaria para el desarrollo del cerebro de su corta edad. La leche entera, queso y yogur son especialmente importantes para los 1-2 aĂąos de edad, ya que contienen grasa saturada, la cual juega un papel muy importante en la construcciĂłn de las conexiones nerviosas que he mencionado antes. La mayorĂa de los niĂąos de 2 aĂąos o mĂĄs pueden cambiar el 1% de grasa de leche y productos lĂĄcteos, que todavĂa contienen una cantidad saludable de grasa para el cerebro, al tiempo que evita el aumento de peso excesivo. Los aceites de pescado, de oliva y de canola, aguacate y mantequilla de manĂ son otros ejemplos de fuentes de grasa que a tus hijos seguramente les encantarĂĄ y beneficiara.

Mito #3: Ofrecer golosinas como recompensa por comer sus vegetales, es una buena idea. Ofrece a tu hijo una variedad de opciones saludables para elegir. Tal vez se puede elegir entre las zanahorias, guisantes, brĂłcoli o la hora de decidir un vegetal para la cena. Los niĂąos se sentirĂĄn mĂĄs a gusto comiendo un alimento si forman parte del proceso de toma de decisiones. TambiĂŠn puedes ofrecer una recompensa saludable no relacionada con los alimentos: “DespuĂŠs de terminar todas nuestras verduras, podemos ir al parqueâ€? Myth #4: Once a picky eater, always a picky eater Good news. 1JDLZ FBUJOH JO QSFTDIPPM JT not only common, but also a perfectly normal part of a child’s development. Solution: It can take up to 10 exposures to a new food before a preschooler accepts and likes it. So don’t give up! Try to expose your child to one new food per week. Myth #5: I have no power over my child’s taste and food preferences. Expose them to the foods you want them to like, and don’t forget the power of example. If your child sees you eating and enjoying veggies regularly, he or she will probably pick up on that behavior eventually.
Mito #4: Si mi hijo es difĂcil con la comida, siempre serĂĄ un comensal exigente. Que los niĂąos en edad preescolar sean complicados con la comida no es sĂłlo comĂşn, sino tambiĂŠn una parte perfectamente normal en el desarrollo.

Trata de exponer a tu hijo a un alimento nuevo por semana. Mito # 5: No tengo ningĂşn poder sobre las preferencias alimentarias y de sabor de mi niĂąo/a : Exponelo a los alimentos que quieres que le gusten, y no te olvides del poder del ejemplo. Si tu hijo/a ve que comes y disfrutas de las verduras regularmente, ĂŠl o ella probablemente copiara este comportamiento con el paso del tiempo.

Worth Knowing by Dr. Sadia Raja, Clinical Pharmacist Leyla is due to get her ears pierced this month together with her next bout of vaccines. I am super nervous and am going to use topical analgesics and oral pain relievers to reduce her pain and prevent my mental anguish. This brings me to my position as a mommy and a pharmacist concerning appropriate pain management in children. 5IF GPMMPXJOH JOGPSNBUJPO JT UBLFO GSPN UIF 1IBSNBDJTU -FUUFS i1SBDUJDBM DPOTJEFSBUJPOT JO QFEJBUSJD QBJO NBOBHFNFOUu 7PM The CDC reports (2007) that children before the age of 6 will receive 20 injections based on the current childhood immunization schedule. Since young children cannot communicate pain verbally they are under treated for pain management. Often times as adults we feel that by empathizing and apologizing for our child’s pain we are alleviating their pain; quite the contrary; such behaviors are considered as distress promoting behaviors. The best methods to help minimize pain response in kids who are receiving injections, is to consider these techniques: r %JTUSBDUJPO IVNPS CMPXJOH CVCCMFT QMBZJOH XJUI B QJO XIFFM listening to music with headphones) r 4XBEEMJOH GPS JOGBOUT r 0SBM TVDSPTF TPMVUJPO GPS JOGBOUT ZPVOHFS UIBO TJY NPOUIT r 3VCCJOH UIF TLJO BGUFS B OFFEMF TUJDL r 3FMBYBUJPO r #SFBUIJOH FYFSDJTFT r (VJEFE JNBHFSZ JOWPMWJOH DIJMESFO JO B GBOUBTZ NSAIDS (like Motrin), acetaminophen, and aspirin are widely used for treatment of pain and fever in children. :PV TIPVME DIFDL UIF "NFSJDBO 1FEJBUSJD "TTPDJBUJPO GPS GVSUIFS JOGP PS consult with your doctor. I should also mention topical analgesics to reduce pain related to injection site administration. I will be considering these options for the upcoming ear piercing. EMLA (2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocane) is a prescription product that takes 1 hour to take effect. Ask your doctor for a prescription. EMLA-MAX (lidocaine 4%) is OTC and takes 30 minutes for onset of action but has not been studied for relief of immunization pain. I hope this helps anxious mommies like me (and daddies).

Bueno saber A mi hija Leyla le toca el turno para sus prĂłximas vacunas y agujerear sus orejas. Estoy sĂşper nerviosa y voy a usar analgĂŠsicos tĂłpicos y analgĂŠsicos orales para reducir el dolor y evitar mi angustia mental. Esta situaciĂłn me lleva a cuestionarme e investigar el manejo del dolor en los niĂąos ante mi posiciĂłn primero como una mamĂĄ y luego como farmacĂŠutica. La siguiente informaciĂłn fue tomada de la Carta del farmacĂŠutico “Consideraciones prĂĄcticas en el manejo del dolor pediĂĄtricoâ€? Vol. 2010. Los informes CDC (2007) indican que los niĂąos antes de la edad de 6 aĂąos recibirĂĄn 20 inyecciones en base al cronograma de inmunizaciĂłn infantil. Dado que los niĂąos pequeĂąos no pueden comunicarse verbalmente es mejor considerar tratamiento para el manejo del dolor. Muchas veces los adultos creemos que por empatĂa y pidiendo disculpas por el dolor de nuestros hijos estamos aliviando su dolor, todo lo contrario, estos comportamientos son considerados como promotores de comportamientos que producen angustia. Los mejores mĂŠtodos para ayudar a minimizar la respuesta al dolor en los niĂąos que estĂĄn recibiendo inyecciones, es considerar las siguientes tĂŠcnicas: r %JTUSBDDJĂ“O TFOUJEP EFM IVNPS TPQMBOEP CVSCVKBT KVHBOEP DPO VOB SVFEB escuchando mĂşsica con auriculares) r 4XBEMJOH QBSB CFCĂŠT r 4PMVDJĂ“O EF TBDBSPTB PSBM QBSB MPT CFCĂŠT NFOPSFT EF TFJT NFTFT r 'SPUBS MB QJFM EFTQVĂŠT EF VO QJODIB[P EF BHVKB r 3FMBKBDJĂ“O r &KFSDJDJPT EF SFTQJSBDJĂ“O r *NBHJOBDJĂ“O HVJBEB RVF QSPNVFWB MB QBSUJDJQBDJĂ“O EF MPT OJĂ’PT FO VOB GBOUBTĂŽB Los NSAIDS (como Motrin), acetaminofeno y aspirina se utilizan ampliamente para el tratamiento del dolor y la fiebre en los niĂąos.
