Calming
Car Seat Distress by Judy Francis, Kid’s Stuff Superstore
If you have ever tried to travel with an infant, you know how stressful it can be! We have a few stress reducing tips that can make car travel more enjoyable for both your baby and yourself. Age-Appropriate Car Seat: Most importantly, make sure you are using an age-appropriate car seat. If you are traveling with a young child, long car rides are more comfortable in the rear-facing position. It helps them to be able to lay back and is much easier for them to sleep. If your baby is uncomfortable, he/she is going to let you know. Baby Mirrors: Use a mirror that attaches to the headrest of their seat. Having a baby mirror makes it easier for the baby to see you and also themselves. The mirror also
helps you to see your child so you know that they are happy or asleep. Car Seat Toys: Having a toy that is attached to the handle of the car seat can help keep your baby entertained. Having one that lights up or makes noise will be more fun for them. Put it on a week or so before your trip so that it becomes familiar. Baby travel toys come in many different forms. Baby Paper or Taggie Blankets make great travel toys. Soothing Music: Listen to soothing classical or familiar soft music. Sound machines can really help to soothe a stressed baby. n

Goldfish Carrots
Place goldfish crackers in the center of a square of plastic wrap. Fold the wrap in half diagonally to cover the goldfish. Take one long open end and roll it towards your pile of goldfish creating a cone shape. Tape rolled end and secure remaining open end with green pipe cleaners or green ribbon.
Doughnut Bunnies
Buy a box of Little Debbie doughnuts. They come with six individual packs of doughnuts in them, and the packages will not have writing on them. Print or draw bunny heads, hands, and feet. I used this link for my bunny heads: www.edupics.com/rabbithead-t17753.jpg. Cut out the bunny heads, hands, and feet and glue or tape them onto the package. Add a cotton ball for a tail.
Chocolate Nest Spoons
Dip a plastic spoon into some melted chocolate chips. Add some Cadbury Mini Eggs and some chocolate sprinkles. Once they cool and harden, you can wrap them in plastic wrap. They are a yummy chocolate treat ready to stir into a mug of hot chocolate, or just to nibble on.

What is VISION THERAPY? Optometric Vision Therapy is the art and science of improving and enhancing visual skills. Through a series of therapy procedures programmed by the doctor, patients improve their ability to function. In vision therapy, we do not “train the eyes or muscles” but rather re-educate the brain so that the eyes can work together as a team. The subsequent improvements in the processing of visual information benefits all areas of life: school, sports, home, work and creativity.

FARM FUN by Kaia Mogen, Special Projects Coordinator, Washington Pavilion
South Dakota is a major agricultural state. With over 31,000 farms statewide, 43 million+ acres of South Dakota land is devoted to agriculture. Even when it comes to South Dakota’s population, livestock surpasses the human population six-fold (humans = a little over 824,000 and livestock totaling over 5.3 million). That’s almost 6.5 livestock animals to each person that lives in the state!
the Classroom, has participated as an Ag Day exhibitor at the Washington Pavilion for many years. “Ag Day at the Pavilion is an incredible way for youth and adults alike to learn about the various segments of agriculture all in one interactive setting,” stated Price. “Kids won’t even know they are learning something because the activities are so much fun. Adults might take away a new fact or two as well.”
It’s easy to see that South Dakota is important in agriculture just by driving across I-90 and seeing the vast farmland from Sioux Falls to Rapid City, something we may not always appreciate when driving on family vacations.
Price continues, “Even if you live in town, you have a direct connection to agriculture – the food you eat. With today’s society becoming more and more removed from the farm, it’s important for youth to know where and how their food is produced so they grow up into informed consumers and policy makers. Ag Day at the Pavilion is an excellent way for everyone to see the different aspects of agriculture and to ask questions directly to the people who help grow and produce the food we eat every day.”
To celebrate such a momentous industry, National Ag Day was created in 1973 to honor our nation’s farmers and agriculturalists. National Ag Day 2013 is March 19th, but here in Sioux Falls one venue will be celebrating on a weekend so the whole family can enjoy! If you come to the Washington Pavilion on Saturday, March 23, don’t be surprised if you hear a lamb “baaa” or a chicken “cluck.” You may meet a soybean farmer, make homemade pasta, or plant a seed. All this and more will be at the 10th Annual Ag Day at the Pavilion. Pavilion Ag Day is a free event that celebrates agriculture and educates families about Midwest agriculture. Each year, members of the agricultural industry gather in an effort to promote agriculture and share how it provides almost everything we eat, use, and wear on a daily basis! Ann Price, Executive Director of South Dakota Ag in
Join the Pavilion for a free lunch and admission to the Kirby Science Discovery Center 10:00 am-2:00 pm with handson agricultural activities for the whole family. Lunch features South Dakotamade products including beef, pork, hot dogs, Dakota Style Chips and SDSU Ice Cream. Spend some time with your family honoring agriculture and enjoying the fruits of its labors all for free. For more information on Ag Day celebrations nationwide and in the Sioux Empire, visit www.agday.org and www.pavilionagday.org. n

Midwest Family Care by Jennifer L. Nelson, DO
What do you hope to accomplish as a family medicine physician?
You have nine years of experience in private practice. What motivated you to practice family medicine? As a child, when my mother would take me to the doctor, I was always amazed at the content of the visit. My doctor would sit on the exam table next to me and examine me. Then he would turn to my mom and inquire about how the rest of my siblings were doing. I loved how our family doctor cared for our ENTIRE family and knew and truly cared about more than just our health. He cared about us as a WHOLE. Another significant and very important motivation on my road to medicine was my father and the health challenges that he started to face as I began my college career. My Dad was one of my biggest supporters and pulled me through many challenging times during medical school. I know that he continues to watch over me as I grow as a family medicine physician.

Sponsored Feature
My goal is to provide quality health care to my patients and care for them just as if they were one of my own family members. I like to help my patients prevent as much disease as possible with a healthy lifestyle but at the same time, when disease or illness is present, I work with them to gain the best possible control of their disease process. I want my patients to have the best quality of life that they can. I believe this is accomplished through individualized care from a holistic approach to medicine.
What can your patients expect from a typical visit? My patients can expect me to care for them as a whole. I like to get to know my patients, which enables me to provide the best medical care that I can. When making medical decisions regarding a patient, I take into consideration everything that I know about that patient to help me make the best decision for that patient in that situation. Patients can expect me to address preventative care issues with them and will learn that I truly care for them as a person.
Midwest Family Care
by Mathea Salas, DO
You have thirteen years of experience in Family Medicine, including prenatal, pediatrics, internal med., gynecology and geriatrics. What motivated you to practice family medicine? My committment to providing quality, evidence-based medicine accessible to as many families and individuals as possible. I enjoy the variety of topics and full-spectrum preventive care as well as treatments and minor surgeries I can offer this way.
What do you hope to accomplish as a family care physician? I definitely have the volunteerism bug – getting active in support of the community welfare and being a role model for my children – hopefully THAT bug continues to spread. As far as in practicing family medicine, it’s well known that being under the routine care of a primary provider improves overall health and lessens complications or preventable illnesses in the most equitable fashion throughout our communities.
What can your patients expect from a typical visit? I have enjoyed becoming connected with my patients and getting to know their extended families, holding patients’ hands as we negotiate life together. I find it most fulfilling when a patient ‘finally feels listened to’ and if in doing that I can help a patient find peace in knowledge, maybe avoid some pitfalls, and we learn from each other-- then I’ve done my job.
What services does Midwest Family Care offer the Sioux Empire community? We offer a unique, patientcentered approach to family practice medicine, focusing on Primary Care, Prevention and Disease Management. Primary Care includes annual exams and screenings, women’s care, vaccines and immunizations, as well as allergy and flu shots. Treatment for infections or rashes, pain diagnosis and management, gastrointestinal troubles and prescription management are also included. Preventative medicine is designed to impact patients’ health in a positive manner. By assessing their well being, we can benchmark their health factors. If needed, we can provide tips and suggestions to improve overall health. Disease management is help to manage conditions such as diabetes, depression, low back pain, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, hypertension, migraines, or arthritis. What makes Midwest Family Care unique? Patients are our first and only priority. Our mission is to offer innovative and personalized care to our patients. What that really means is that we offer QUALITY TIME with our providers and immediate access. When it comes to care, we want to make it convenient. We do this by providing same day scheduling, seeing patients during extended hours upon request, and allowing generous time with our patients. We believe in developing a strong supportive relationship between doctor and patient. Why is comprehensive family care important? Having a primary care doctor is important no matter your age. A primary care doctor is your partner in health, providing you with preventative care and medical treatments. People who have an ongoing relationship with a primary care doctor generally have better overall health and lower health-related expenses than those without a primary care doctor they trust. Patients should go to their primary care doctor for annual exams and for any health concerns or questions they have. Midwest Family Care is a division of Sioux Falls Specialty Hospital. How does this partnership work to a patient’s advantage? SFSH currently has 6 specialty centers: Surgery, Pain Management, Imaging, Occupational Health, Digestive Health and Family Practice. We have 2 family practice physicians and 3 midlevel providers as well as 1 physician who specializes in gastroenterology and Hematology at Midwest Family Care. We offer full service family practice care for the whole family from pediatrics to seniors at all stages of life. We don’t treat our patients as a number – we spend quality time understanding what’s truly in the best interest of the patient. We are here to help patients with any stage of life and to help them live a happy healthy life!

Enjoying the Outdoors by Hannah Weise
as a Family
Summer camp can be a great experience. Children learn to get along with other campers, make new friends, and enjoy activities they normally wouldn’t get to do at home. However, sleep-away summer camps aren’t necessarily a good fit for everyone and can cause stress and anxiety for both parents and children. If you’re unsure about sending your children to summer camp, consider these family-friendly alternatives. • V isit www.travelsd.com/Outdoors and learn about the outdoor adventures you and your children can have together close to home. •G o camping in one of South Dakota’s state parks. Visit http://gfp.sd.gov/state-parks/ for more information. •N ot sure you want to rough it in a tent or camper? Consider renting a cabin in the Black Hills or near your favorite lake. • Sleep under the stars in your own backyard. It’s free! n

Summer
Sport Camps by Ashley Sandborn, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center
Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about summer camps. There are a wide variety of camps available in Sioux Falls where kids can enjoy the outdoors and have fun. However, summer sport camps can offer a unique experience that can teach children lessons like self-esteem and good sportsmanship and foster an inner drive and lifelong enjoyment of athletics.
Avera Sports Institute (ASI) offers a variety of speed, strength and conditioning programs for athletes of all ages and sports throughout the year, including the summer. “Our typical program lasts six to eight weeks, and involves two to three days per week of supervised training sessions, which last 75-90 minutes,” says Derek Ferley, education and research coordinator at Avera Sports Institute. “All our
Benefits of Sports Camps • Teach sportsmanship, inner drive, discipline and self-esteem • Build memories and friendships • Enhance and develop skills • Develop teamwork
programs focus on developing strength, speed, agility and conditioning through a series of protocol-driven workouts. In particular, our training protocols improve speed, quickness and power by developing the body’s neuromuscular system through functional training.” Whether your child is interested in soccer, basketball, gymnastics, or any other sport, a sports-oriented summer camp is a wonderful opportunity to enhance skills and abilities, make new friends, and experience a fun and new environment. n

Cost Effective Ways to
by Shaina Herrmann, shainasdeals.com
Shop for Camp Supplies 1. If you can’t afford to buy a new sleeping bag, a friend may have one you can borrow. Borrow anything you can from friends and family! This is one of the best ways to avoid purchasing things if you’re only going to need them for a short time. 2. If you’re on the lookout for new summer sandals or tennis shoes, stores like Famous Footwear and Payless often have a buy one, get one half off special going on. You can also sign up to receive their newsletters online and receive coupons in your e-mail. 3. Always keep an eye out online on websites such as Coupons.com, CouponNetwork.com, Target. com, and SmartSource.com for printable coupons for toiletries and many of the popular sunscreens and bug repellants. 4. If you have multiple kids that will be attending camp this year, buy your toiletries in bulk. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, lip balm, face wash, and shampoo are

usually cheaper when several are purchased at once. If you can go in together with other campers parents to buy in bulk, you’ll save even more! 5. If your kids are in need of swimwear, rain gear, or any special clothing for camp, first check the local consignment stores. These stores are often forgotten about when shopping for new clothes, yet these are stores where you can find some of the best deals! You could also spend a week or two checking out Craigslist.com and/or garage sales to see what you can find. 6. Websites such as L.L.Bean.com, Campbound. com, EverythingSummerCamp.com, and Amazon. com are loaded with everything you could possibly need, and all of these sites are very affordable. L.L.Bean offers free shipping on everything with no minimum, and Amazon offers free shipping with any purchase over $25. n

Speci a l Needs Camp Questions Camps can be expensive and you want to make sure that they are meeting the needs of your child. Many camps in the community are not geared towards children with special needs. Here is a list of questions you should ask when looking into camps for your child who has special needs. 1.What qualifications does the leader of the camp hold, such as Occupational Therapist, SpeechLanguage Pathologist, etc? 2.How long is the camp? Will my child be able to tolerate the length/number of days? 3.What is the cost? Are scholarships or alternative funding sources available? 4.What is the ratio of staff to children? 5.What is the goal, or how will my child benefit from attending camp?

6.Where is the camp held? 7.Is this a day camp or sleep-over camp?
