Can You Believe it?
We are a third of the way through summer already? Where has the time gone...Hopefully you and your little ones have adjusted to later bedtimes, less structure during the day and much more TOGETHER TIME!! As your “All things Family” reference, allow us to give you some great insight on summer activities and ideas while offering some laughable funny family stories. We also know you’ll enjoy our interviews with local children, asking... “What do you Want to Be when You Grow Up.” We’ve all thought about it, asked it...but it’s always a great reminder to see the world through a child’s eyes and unfettered dreams. Enjoy this issue, laugh, share...you may just get inspired!!
For September, we are focusing on Bullying in all forms. As always, we love when you share your Not My Family stories, insight, and recipes with us via Facebook!!

LIFE IN THE ‘HOOD
Transitions are Tough: Getting Back to School Year Routines By Greta Stewart, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center The transition from August to September can be difficult for both children and parents. Even children who are eager to return to class must adjust to the greater levels of activity, structure, and, for some, pressures associated with school life. The degree of adjustment depends on the child, but according to Jon Feiock, Outpatient Therapist at Avera Behavioral Health Outpatient Services, parents can help their children manage the increased pace of life by planning ahead, being realistic, and maintaining a positive attitude. Here are a few suggestions Feiock lists that may help ease the transition from summer days to school days.
Before School Starts • Be sure your child is in good physical and mental health. Schedule doctor and dental checkups early. Discuss any concerns you have over your child’s emotional or psychological development with your pediatrician. • Review all of the information. Review the material sent by the school as soon as it arrives. • Mark your calendar. Make a note of important dates, especially back-to-school nights. • Make copies. Make copies of all your child’s health and emergency information for reference. • Buy school supplies early. Try to get the supplies as early as possible and fill the backpacks a week or two before school starts. • Re-establish the bedtime and mealtime routines. Plan to re-establish the bedtime and mealtime routines (especially breakfast) at least one week before school starts. • Turn off the TV. Encourage your child to play quiet games, do puzzles, flash cards, color, or read as early morning activities instead of watching television. This will help ease your child into the learning process and school routine.

• Visit school with your child. If your child is young or in a new school, visit the school with your child. Meeting the teacher, locating their classroom, locker, lunchroom, etc., will help ease pre-school anxieties and also allow your child to ask questions about the new environment. • Minimize clothes shopping woes. Buy only the essentials. Summer clothes are usually fine during the early fall, but be sure to have at least one pair of sturdy shoes. • Designate and clear a place to do homework. Older children should have the option of studying in their room or a quiet area of the house. Younger children usually need an area set aside in the family room or kitchen to facilitate adult monitoring, supervision, and encouragement. The First Week • Make lunches the night before school. • Set alarm clocks. • Leave plenty of extra time. n July/August 2011 | thehoodmagazine.com | 5

What do you want to be when you grow up? By Taryn Sonnenfeld
We’ve all been asked and had to think about that question...What if you had to answer it now? Would you answer it differently? Or are you one of the few people who made their mind up at age 7 and have walked those plans out? I have a friend who knew when we were 7 or 8 that she wanted to be a doctor. As the years went by and my life took different twists and turns, my friend remained steadfast. Out of our group of friends, she was always the one that never lost sight of her goals, regardless of what life threw at her. I can remember thinking how lucky she was that life was working out just like she planned...What I didn’t see back then is that she had just as many problems as I did. She had mountains to move, she had the stress of family life and school loans, boy problems and the awful gift of procrastination, just like the rest of us... but ONE difference, she had a Goal. From the time she was little, she worked toward that dream, cultivated it in her mind, really focused on it and as hard as life got, she never lost sight of it. So, parents... encourage those gifts! Help them cultivate their dreams...It will pay off!
Sierra Shanks
Doctor Sierra Shanks, age
9
As we walked through the corridors of AveraMcKennan with Sierra, it didn’t seem like there was much intimidation within her. It maybe was because her Aunt is in the medical field or it could just be because she’s a natural! We walked through the children’s section of the hospital and I was impressed by her presence through it all. With her kind eyes and big smile, she greeted people, wrestled on her huge scrubs and placed the borrowed stethoscope around her neck like it had been there a hundred times.
Between shots, I asked Sierra why she wanted to be in the medical field? She said, “to help sick kids-to make them happy.” Pediatrics would be her first choice. The one thing that Sierra thinks she wouldn’t like is seeing stitches and blood. Being the oldest sibling, Sierra said she’s had practice at taking care of kids. She thinks it will take 5-9 years of school and she also wants a family of her own. I said, “Wow, do you think you can do it all?” She looked at me with that big smile and nodded. I believe her!

Meteoro logist H unter Den B
oer, age 5
Hunter Den Boer Seeing any kid in their father’s suit is adorable, but when he sits behind a news desk, interracts with a local anchor and wants to tell you about the weather, I could watch him all day! Hunter wants to be a Meteorologist when he grows up. It’s important to him because he wants to know when there are tornadoes and where they’ll be. What he likes about the job is “always learning” and “the screens are cool!” Hunter thinks it will take a “LONG TIME” to learn how to be a Meteorologist, “Probably 8 years.” Hunter would like to work in Sioux Falls, maybe with “Shaun Cable and his friend Brooks, But NO camera people and he’s not sure about the make-up.” The KSFY staff that met with Hunter were great, and from what ‘Hood saw, Hunter is a natural with people and was a real pro for our interview. Whether his name is in lights or he is tracking tornadoes, in Hunter’s own words he, “thinks he can handle it.” We know you can!

Baker
Dilynn Severson,
age 6
Dilynn Severson When it comes to bakers, most come older, but none come cuter. We caught up with Dilynn Severson at Oh My Cupcakes where she threw caution to the wind and made a mess on purpose! It was a Baker’s Wonderland...Dilynn glowed with anticipation as she eyed the tools, the pans, the huge ovens. The smells were enough to make anyone wish for this job, but Dilynn got in and got her hands dirty and told us of the joys of the world of baking. Dilynn has wanted to bake for as long as she can remember. The only other career she would enjoy is being an artist. You have to be creative for both, but in the bakery you get to eat what you create! Dilynn says, “It’s fun! I like to make messes and wash dishes. I like to stir and eat what I bake.” Dilynn thinks to be baker it would take,“A LOT” of school or training, “Maybe 5 years!” She would love for her family to be her customers and she would like to hire, “her cousins and cookie makers” to work with her. Dilynn would love to own a bakery in Sioux Falls and it would of course have to incorporate her favorite color purple. Dilynn offered up this advice when asked about being picked for our story. “Wish on a Dandelion!” She said that’s what she did. Sounds like Great Advice Dilynn! Sweet Dreams!

Brady King A young man in fatiques is nothing unique at the Armory in Sioux Falls. But, when 11-year-old Brady King stepped outside amidst Hum V’s and Carriers, his small frame took a back seat to the pride and excitement on his face. How often does a boy get the opportunity for a private tour from military personnel as well as getting to walk in the footsteps and sit in the equipment used by his heroes. As I watched Brady being photographed, he was so proud, so serious; He never broke his form. Finally, when I started asking him questions, I saw a smile. His eyes lit up as he began to tell me that being in the military ran in his family. His grandfather and great-grandfather served proudly. I asked Brady why he wanted to be a soldier, what being a soldier meant, he looked at me with all the seriousness an 11-year-old can muster and said, “It means Honor and Respect.” Brady said he would like his career to be in the military, to do it all of his adult life. I asked how much school or training he thought he’d need and he said, “Maybe 5 years training?” Brady said, “Working well with people” is important for people in this field. Nothing about the job scares him and what he looks forward to most is traveling all over the world. When I asked Brady if he ever saw himself doing anything else, he said “A Football Player.” You’re well on your way Brady!

Rummage Sale Tips & Tricks
By Shaina Herrmann, Shaina’s Deals
Don’t you just love rummage sales?
Some of the best deals I’ve ever found were at rummage sales! Where else are you going to find a new pair of shoes for $1.00? I feel like I’m on a treasure hunt every time I browse through a rummage sale. You never know what gems you will stumble upon! Now that the rummage sale season is upon us, I want to share with you some tips that I believe will help you succeed in your rummage sale ventures this year.
Tips for Buying:
Tips for Selling: Take advantage of free advertising. Advertise your sale on the web for FREE – go to local forums, free classifieds, or create a Facebook event page. Place the best items in clear view to draw attention to your sale. Make sure every item has a price or a sign designating a price. Have a reasonable supply of change, and keep the money on you at all times. Price your items with the intent to get rid of the item. If your items are priced too high, you will not sell anything. Before you decide on a price, always ask yourself if you would pay that price at another rummage sale.
Have an on-going list of items to search for at rummage sales over the summer. Refer to this list each time you attend a rummage sale. Attend the sales early, but make sure you arrive after the designated start time. The earlier you arrive, the better your chances will be of finding the best deals! Always bring small bills and change, avoid larger bills. If you can avoid it, do not pay for a $.50 shirt with a $20 bill. As with anything you buy, be wise about your purchase. Only buy items that you know will serve a specific purpose in your home. It’s easy to go overboard when you see a box full of things labeled as “Free” or a “fill your bag for $2” sale. n

Bedtime comes earlier once schools starts, celebrate the beginning of school by staying up late one last time. Follow these simple steps: • Invite all the neighborhood kids over for a goodbye to summer bash by planning a backyard movie night.
• Have the kids make flyers and deliver them to their friend’s houses in the neighborhood. • Use a white sheet and attach it to a swing set, wall, deck or fence using clamps and rope. • Maybe you own a projector? If not consider asking to borrow one from your place of work or church. You could also rent one.
Movie Suggestions:
Choose a movie with a “School” theme, like: Back to School with Franklin (G) Akeela and the Bee (PG) School of Rock (PG 13)

Summer Structure
Do your Kids Crave a Routine?? By Melanie Schumacher
Oh, routines...yes, we had something that resembled a routine. But, once my 5 year old entered kindergarten, we REALLY needed a routine. My daughter, Sophia Francis, has inherited the strong personalities of both my husband and I. I trust that when she is older, those traits will be key in running her life, her own family, career - the world. But, as her mother, the strong traits create endless trials. One day, she will make a great teacher. She likes quiet, order, structure and being busy. However, if not kept actively learning (cooking, sewing, gardening, crafts) that mind is used for evil instead of good. :) On non-school days, we may stumble over the smallest tasks. My requests of her are met with forceful resistance. However, Sophia thrives in her teacher, Mrs. S’s, strict classroom. Everyday, in her kindergarten class, they follow the same rhythm, same routine. So, very abstractly, I try to form our at-home days like a classroom. I made a chart of the break-down of the day. Using the same “headings” as Mrs. S. such as “Read, Rest and Draw” “Lunchtime” “Recess/ Outside time”. The items that she can help with on her own, are written in purple. Because she can’t read every word yet, there is also a stick-figure picture. Lately, our days are moving smoothly...I’m sure we will adapt our routine many, many, many times. n
