Letter From The Publisher Greetings, How are you doing moms, dads and grandparents?

The past few months certainly haven’t been the easiest. Make sure that you are taking care of yourself during these stressful times.

Sometimes just going for a walk helps me. Of course, it is getting very hot! The heat index is hitting over 100! While I want to stay inside the comforts of my air conditioned home, my kids have boundless energy and are getting a little “COVID-crazy”.

PB Parenting is here with the 9th edition of our Beat the Heat Guide. We are coming up on the hottest (and sometimes rainiest) months of the year so keep your cool with the help of our annual guide to help you get out of the house while avoiding the heat and now COVID-19 too. Also check out our Summer Camp Directory. There are physical and virtual camp options to keep the kids busy this summer as well. All of this information is online at www. pbparenting.com.

We know the next couple of months will be challenging and we are all waiting to hear about school in the fall. Get the latest information by connecting with PB Parenting online! Like our facebook and instagram pages, join one of our facebook groups (Palm Beach County Moms for moms only, our co-ed group Palm Beach County Parents or our new Palm Beach County NICU Parents Group), and sign up for our e-newsleter and stay up to date with new openings and activities to do with the kids.

Stay Safe and Happy Parenting,

10 Ways To Keep Cool When It’s Hot Lately, we have been spending more time outdoors. My family has been riding bikes and getting fresh air. It is hard to keep your cool in South Florida when temperatures reach the mid 90s for the next few months . It is important to stay cool not only for your comfort but your safety. Dangerously high temperatures can result in heat-related illnesses ranging from heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The following tips can help you keep cool all summer long.

1. Beat the sun and heat with an early morning or evening activity or workout.

2. Try to stay in the shade when outdoors during peak sunlight.

3. Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably of a light color. Also cotton clothing will keep you cooler than many synthetics.

4. Fill a spray bottle with water and keep it in the refrigerator for a quick refreshing spray to your face after being outdoors or take it on the go with you!

5. Fans can help circulate air and make you feel cooler even in an airconditioned house.

6. Try storing lotions or cosmetic toners in the refrigerator to use on hot, overtired feet.

8 July 2020| PB Parenting |

7. Keep plastic bottles of water in the freezer; grab one when you’re ready to go outside. As the ice melts, you’ll have a supply of cold water with you.

8. Take frequent baths or showers with cool or tepid water.

9. Combat dehydration by drinking plenty of water along with sports drinks or other sources of electrolytes.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these will promote dehydration.

10. Instead of hot foods, try lighter summer fare including frequent small meals or snacks containing cold fruit or low fat dairy products. As an added benefit, you won’t have to cook next to a hot stove.

Finally, use common sense. If the heat is intolerable, stay indoors when you can and avoid activities in direct sunlight or on hot asphalt surfaces. Pay special attention to the elderly, infants, and anyone with a chronic illness, as they may dehydrate easily and be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.

Don’t forget that pets also need protection from dehydration and heatrelated illnesses too.

Preparing Kids for Hurricanes Hurricanes can be scary — for grown-ups and kids alike. Kids learn how to respond to situations based on the behaviors and attitudes of those around them.

Here are some tips to help them — and you — be ready during hurricane season.

Talk About Hurricanes Kids might be confused about what a hurricane is, so use simple age-appropriate descriptions of what to expect if one is coming your way. For a younger child, you might say, “A hurricane is a tropical storm with very strong winds and lots of rain, lightning, and thunder.”

It’s also important to tell kids that grown-ups will do their best to keep them safe.

Try to Remain Calm Yourself Kids can easily sense the emotions of those around them. When a parent seems overly upset or worried, this can make a child’s own fears or worries worse.

Let Kids Help With Pre-storm Preparations Keeping them busy can help keep kids’ minds off of their worries. Helping prepare in age-appropriate ways also can increase a child’s sense of control over the situation.

To involve your kids: • Prepare a family disaster emergency kit.

Kids can help collect canned goods and get flashlights ready.

• Have your kids help bring outdoor items inside.

10 July 2020| PB Parenting |

Discuss your family’s disaster plan together.

Will you need to evacuate — and what would that look like? Which grown-ups will do what? This will help kids know what to expect.

During the Storm • Let kids pick a few comfort items, nonelectronic games, and toys in case of power outages.

• Try to keep as normal a routine as possible. This can help children feel calm and safe.

• Encourage kids to talk about their feelings or thoughts about what’s happening. Some kids might prefer not to talk right away — and that’s OK too.

Spend time together and let them know that you’re there when they’re ready.

After the Storm • Monitor media exposure. There can be “too much coverage” leading up to and especially after a hurricane hits. These images might be too much for young eyes and sensitive hearts.

• Let children help with clean-up.

• Pay attention to signs of stress, including nightmares, regressive behavior/acting younger than their age, and extra clinginess. These are common in children who’ve gone through a traumatic event. If you see any of these signs, talk to your doctor and know that trained counselors can help. © 1995-2020. The Nemours Foundation/KidsHealth®.

Basic Disaster Supplies Kit To assemble your kit store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins or a duffel bag.

A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items: • Water (one gallon per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation) • Food (min. 3 day supply of shelf stable food) • Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert • Flashlight with Extra batteries • First aid kit • Whistle (to signal for help) • Plastic sheeting and duct tape • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation) • Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities) • Manual can opener (for food) • Local maps • Cell phone with chargers/backup battery

Additional Emergency Supplies The CDC has recommended people include additional items in their kits to help prevent the spread of coronavirus Consider adding the following items: • Cloth face coverings (for ages 2 and above), Pediatric Dentistry • Soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes to Specializing in Dentistry forAdolescents Infants, and Children, Adolescents Specializing in Dentistry for Infants, Children, those with Special Health Care n disinfect surfaces and those with Special Health Care needs • Prescription medications Michael J.

Summer Travel Tips During COVID-19

Now that stay at home orders have been lifted and some businesses begin to open back up you may be thinking of a summer vacation.

Here are some tips from the CDC if you decide to take a trip.

While you’re in research mode, look up visitor information and hours for businesses, restaurants parks and other places you may want to visit during your stay.

Maintaining Social Distancing and Sanitization Social distancing and sanitization aren’t taking a vacation while you are on vacation.

We can not stress that now more than ever, it’s important to pack up your car with hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, sanitizing spray, face masks, and even a thermometer. And keep practicing social distancing with good and frequent hand-washing. If a place is too crowded be prepare to leave.

If you can, pack your own snacks and drinks so you reduce the need to go into rest stops and expose yourself to others.

Despite Coronavirus, birthrates are expected to remain consistent in 2020 and here is the scoop on boy and girl baby names stealing the show so far this year. Names.org released predictions for the Most Popular Baby Names of 2020. New entries in the top 10 for boys this year includes Henry and Alexander, while Mila cracked the top 10 for girls.

The rankings were determined by analyzing the most recent data from the Social Security Administration, trends from the past five years, and current user interest from millions of visitors to our site.

Here are the Top 10 Boys Names for 2020 1. Liam 2. Noah 3. William 4. Oliver 5. Lucas 6. Benjamin 7. Elijah 8. James 9. Henry 10. Alexander Sebastian is just outside the top 10 and is rising in popularity. Look for Sebastian in the top 10 list in the coming years. Mason, Ethan, Logan, Michael, and Daniel also fall just short of the top 10, but they are declining in popularity.

Here are the Top 10 Girl Names for 2020 1. Emma 2. Olivia 3. Ava 4. Isabella 20 July 2020| PB Parenting |

Most Popular Baby Names of 2020 5. Charlotte 6. Sophia 7. Amelia 8. Mia 9. Mila 10. Harper Luna, Camila, and Aria are just outside the top 10 and are rising in popularity. Look for these names in the top 10 list in the coming years. Evelyn, Abigail, and Ella also fall just short of the top 10, but they are declining in popularity.

The Wildcards While most names see a gradual change in popularity, some names see an enormous increase from one year to the next such as the fastest rising names of all time. These sudden naming shifts are much more difficult to predict. Names like Ashley and Debra saw dramatic changes in their popularity from one year to the next. Ashley jumped from #17 in 1982 to #4 in 1983 with over 18,000 more babies born with the name in 1983 than the year before. Debra jumped from #18 in 1951 to #9 in 1952 with over 10,000 more babies born with the name in 1952 than the year before.

Americans are choosing more unique baby names so the wildcards and other modern baby names could unexpectedly beat our predictions if they see a large enough change.

So, let’s take a look at some of the wildcards that are showing early signs of a possible huge rise in popularity that could beat our predictions and take one of the top spots.

Boy Wildcard Names 1. Theodore 2. Asher 3. Leo 4. Hudson 5. Ezra 6. Carson 7. Santiago 8. Mateo 9. Elias 10. Jack Girl Wildcard Names 1. Luna 2. Nova 3. Everly 4. Camila 5. Isla 6. Ivy 7. Emilia 8. Valentina 9. Willow 10. Emery
