YOU

have control of the choices you make in life.

Festivals FESTIVE FAMILY FUN ON 4TH OF JULY If you are looking for something to do with your keiki this 4th of July, consider these family activities.

Go to a festival If you don’t feel like cooking or hosting a party yourself, head to a festival. Kids will love it — and you won’t have to do any work.

Head to the Beach Spend the day at the park or the beach with your kids on 4th of July. Even though the fireworks don’t happen until after dusk, there’s plenty to do during the day. Pack a picnic, bring a boogie board, frisbee and just enjoy some time outdoors with your ohana.

Brush up on your history Teach your keiki more about Independence Day. Considered America’s birthday, Independence Day is the anniversary of the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the

Continental Congress — July 4, 1776.

Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. In 1941, Congress declared the 4th of July a legal public holiday.

Create 4th of July crafts Get crafty on 4th of July. Sit down with your keiki and make a craft. Making crafts together is great for family bonding.

Host a potluck barbecue Host a backyard barbecue for your ohana, friends and neighbors. You don’t need to do all the cooking yourself. Make it a potluck.

Revolutionary Berries What you’ll need 12 ounces white chocolate chips Strawberries Blue sugar or edible glitter How to make it 1. Melt 12 ounces of white chocolate chips in a microwave according to the package directions (make sure the container and the berries are dry; even a little moisture will alter the texture of the candy).

2. One at a time, dip strawberries into the chocolate and then into blue sugar or edible glitter.

3. Set them to harden on waxed paper.

Makes 35 to 45 decorated berries.

Ages & Stages It’s a Process

Potet!y Tim

Pick a potty chair. They are logistically easier for a small child to use because there is no problem getting onto it and a child’s feet can reach the floor. If you use a child-size seat attached to an adult toilet make sure you provide a stepstool to support the feet so he can push down during bowel movements.

Help your child recognize signs of needing to use the potty. If they let you know after the fact, suggest that next time they let you know before wetting or soiling their diaper.

Make trips to the potty routine.

If you notice the telltale signs, take your child to the potty. Explain what you want to happen.

Be consistent. Create reasonable

expectations according to your child’s abilities, express them clearly and frequently. Keep their bathroom routine as consistent as possible, including wiping and hand washing. While they are toilet training, praise your child for each success. Make sure that your approach to toilet training is consistent with those of your child’s other caregivers as well.

Encourage the use of training pants to help your child feel proud, as this is a sign

16

As potty training approaches, here are a few useful tips.

Decide what words to use to make it clear and simple for your child to understand. Be consistent with the words you decide on.

of trust and growing up.

Be prepared for accidents. It may take weeks, even months, before toilet training is completed. If an accident occurs, simply say, ‘Oops. We had an accident. That’s okay. Let’s clean up, and we’ll try again later.’

During this preparatory phase of toilet training, it’s important to explain and demonstrate every step of the process.

Skipping steps now can create habits that may be hard to change later. Point out each time how they will need to: 1. Pull down her clothing (if boys are standing, they must learn to use the fly front) 2. Remain on the potty (or in front of it if he’s standing to urinate) until completely finished 3. Wipe carefully with toilet paper (always front to back for girls to prevent urinary tract or vaginal infections) 4. Flush the toilet (if that’s what they will use and they are not afraid of the noise) Wash and dry her hands Finally, the most important way to keep a child interested in being diaper-free is to provide loads of encouragement and positive reinforcement for even small steps in the right direction.

What Makes a Great Coach?

For parents of young athletes, it’s that time of year again: cleats or sports shoes by the door, sports bags in the backseat, uniforms in constant need of laundering, and calendars scheduled full of practices and games. Yes, you may be a pro at managing your child’s sports endeavors, but have you given much thought to the most important part of your child’s athletic experience: his/ her coach?

It’s important for parents to stay aware of how coaches interact with their children, what type of influence they’re having, and most importantly, to hold them accountable.

Parents and coaches alike should remember that what constitutes a great coach isn’t a winning season—it’s a leadership style that builds up, nurtures and mentors young athletes in a way that makes them more confident, motivated, and capable human beings.

Here are eight guidelines to use when evaluating your children’s coaches: 1. Know that harsh words cause damage.

“Motivating” children through fear can do more harm than good. In the short term, tactics like this cause anxiety, shame and low self-esteem; over time, a bullied athlete’s weakened confidence and sense of self worth can eradicate motivation and love for the game. And worst of all, it can transfer to other areas of a child’s life, making her less confident socially and academically.

2. Think about what a coach’s job really is.

The coach’s goal should not be to build a career, but to teach and guide children who are in the midst of their mental, emotional and physical development.

Ideally, what a coach teaches during practice will also help kids develop the skills they’ll need to succeed in many other areas for the rest of their lives.

3. Watch a replay of the coach’s motivations.

What is motivating your child’s coach? Is she in it for the win, or does she want to make a difference in young people’s lives?

While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to win, make sure that your child’s coach does not use her position primarily to brag about her successful seasons and coaching record.

22

www.kauaifamilymagazine.com

4. Has the coach done some emotional intelligence warm-ups?

Everyone knows that a coach should have a broad knowledge of his or her sport.

But coaches should also strive to possess a high level of emotional intelligence—to be empathetic, effective communicators, navigate conflict, etc.

A coach—who is also a leader and mentor—has the responsibility to make sure that he or she is setting kids up for present and future success, not filling them with self doubt and hurting their self esteem. So, if you’re watching a practice or cheering at a game, try to gauge what the coach’s emotional intelligence quotient might be, based on his behavior. If you come to believe that it isn’t benefiting the players and may even be hurting them, don’t be afraid to act, whether you speak to the coach or even try to find a different team for your child.

5. Does the coach score points through caring?

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. In sports, it’s crucial that coaches care about athletes as people, not just as players.

Watch to see if your child’s coach gets to know her on an individual basis and incorporates that knowledge into their regular interactions.

6. Does the coach strike out through criticism?

Criticism: it has to happen in order for improvement to take place. But there’s definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about it. First, he should criticize only in private, not in public. A coach should pull a player aside for a one-on-one discussion, not yell at him in front of the whole team.

7. Does the coach scout each practice for all-stars?

It’s practically impossible for anyone to hear too many good things about themselves. On the sports field, compliments act as confidence—and thus performance—boosters, and they also improve motivation, team spirit, determination and more. With that in mind, a good coach will always start each practice with the intention of catching as many players as possible doing well, then praise them in public and in private whenever the opportunity arises.

Again, kids will work hard to keep getting recognized because it simply feels good.

Who knows—they might remember a coach’s praise for the rest of their lives.

8. Has the coach added “positive thinking” to his or her equipment bag?

All coaches have clipboards, whistles and water bottles—and they should all have a positive attitude, too. With few exceptions, players will develop their attitudes, outlooks and expectations based on what they see from their leaders.

Coaches should be proactive about getting their teams in a winning mindset by saying things like, “We’re going to have a great practice today,” or, “I know everyone will do their best during the game.”

Lou Holtz, the legendary college football coach whose philosophy of positive thinking was instrumental in inspiring his teams to achieve many amazing successes, often against the odds.

What Makes a Great Coach?

Honest, hard working, fair, unbiased, patient, compassion, and humble.

A person who delights in small victories and wants to see everyone succeed!

A coach who wants to develop every player’s skills, not just expecting a couple of “star players” to do all the work.

Backyard Gardens

Grove Farm organized an office exercise group several years ago and the Grove Farm Fit Club was born. Everyone in the office agreed to be a part of the Fit Club and promised to work out together at least once a week.

As much as schedules allow, the entire office will engage is some sort of physical activity together, such as walking, playing basketball, or doing an exercise video. During the summer months of the year, the Grove Farm Fit Club also encourages team activities such as learning the art of bon dancing and challenges everyone in the office to dance at least one song at an obon festival of their choosing.

As part of Fit Club, Grove Farm sponsors a healthy lunch for the entire office ‘ohana and everyone eats lunch together after working out. Grove Farm quickly found that it was a great way to boost team morale while also enjoying the benefits of regular exercise.

Two years ago, in an effort to increase the variety of offerings in the weekly lunches, everyone agreed to pitch in to create a backyard garden behind the office building.

It was decided that the office garden would consist of raised planting beds and everyone pitched in to build simple boxes filled with soil and compost. Each of the planting beds were divided in half and every employee “adopted” a section and selected a vegetable or herb of their choice to nurture and grow.

26

Linda Inouye, Alison Moriguchi, Alexis Kalehuamakanoe Nakea-Tresler, and Sharyl Lam Yuen.

Grove Farm has a large number of agricultural license agreements and the simple act of gardening has provided for a greater appreciation of some of the challenges that Kaua`i farmers experience. It also provides the opportunity to get a bit of fresh air and some sunshine when it’s time to water and weed the plant beds.

If your office or location doesn’t allow for a garden due to space constraints, you can still reap the benefits of farming on a smaller scale by starting with potted herbs or a small, planter box.

Top 4 No-Fail Vegetables For Your Garden

Tomatoes The all-American favorite, what garden wouldn’t be complete without tomatoes?

These linebackers of the garden take up a lot of space, but have a great payoff when tomato season hits, which can easily yield 30 to 40 tomatoes a season, and can be grown almost anywhere there is full sun and water.

When it comes to flavor, nothing can even compare to heirloom tomatoes.

Some favorite easyto-grow tomatoes are the amazingly tasty Cherokee Tomatoes and yellow pears.

Swiss Chard Swiss Chard is a real trooper of the garden, Swiss Chard for fresh greens in the heat of summer when all of the lettuce has bolted. It also stores well when frozen, and is very versatile in the kitchen. You can use it as a base for salads, sauté it with with garlic and olive oil for a nice side of greens, or even use the large leaves to make your own healthy burrito or taco wrap. Swiss Chard is also easy to grow from seed and is beautiful in edible landscapes and containers.

Cucumbers Easy to grow almost anywhere, in containers, raised beds, or even trailing up a chain-link fence, cucumbers are a definite staple.

For the traditional cucumber varieties, try Marketmoore 76 for slicing.

Radishes Quick and easy to grow in containers, raised beds, or stuffed in between the garden rows, radishes are big on flavor and can be harvested in just 30 days or less. They don’t even need full sun to grow well, and can be planted every three weeks or so for a continuous harvest of happy globe radishes all season long.

If you had to choose between sitting down at the kitchen table and setting goals or sitting on the beach in the Caribbean, you would probably choose the beach. But how would you pay for the airfare? Hotel? Food? Souvenirs?

Goal setting in and of itself may not be exciting and fun, but it helps you to save for and achieve exciting and fun things, as well as things that may not be as exhilarating but are still pretty important (such as money for retirement or a child’s college education). You could just wait and see what is left over at the end of the month after you pay your bills, but since it is easy to get in the habit of spending what you make, you may wind up having no savings if you take this approach.

By taking the time to think about what your goals are, how much they cost, when you want them by, and what your regular obligations are, you will know exactly how much to save each month so that you can both reach your goals and pay your bills with ease.

The first step in achieving your financial goals is, not surprisingly, determining what your goals are. List your goals and timeframes in a Financial Goals Chart.

For right now, just think about the goals themselves and when you want to achieve them by – don’t worry about the cost.

Do you want to buy a new computer in a year?

Have a down payment for a house in four years?

Be debt free in five years?

Once you figure out what your goals are, you can then calculate how much you will need altogether and what you should set aside each month.

How you do this depends on whether it is a short, mid, or long term goal.

Short range goals are accomplished within one year, midrange goals are accomplished within 1 to 5 years and long range goals generally take more than 5 years to achieve. Make your life easier, simpler and fun.

Summer Fit Games

Use Your Noodles!

Here are several ways for parents to help their young children get moving this summer with these fun pool noodle activity ideas: Tunnel Fun: Line up a few chairs facing each other, a few feet apart. Lay pool noodles across the chairs to make a tunnel. Children can crawl underneath the noodles or through the tunnel, developing upper body strength and spatial concepts while having fun!

Rocket Ships: Cut a pool noodles in half or into thirds.

Count 1,2,3 Blast Off! And then throw the pool noodle high in the air and then try to catch it. Or, throw the noodle high in the air and call out an action to do before it lands (i.e. jump, touch the ground, turn around).

Let’s Go Bowling: Tape 2 pool noodles parallel to each other approximately 1 to 2 feet apart from each other as bumpers in a bowling alley. Line empty water bottles at the end of the two noodles. At the opposite end, encourage children to roll a ball down the “bowling alley” to knock down the pins. To vary the activity, provide different size balls and bottles weighted with water to encourage children to use a variety of speeds and force when rolling the ball.

30

Row, Row, Row Your Boat: Children sit in pairs facing each other and hold onto the same noodle.

Children pretend to “row the boat” by pulling back and forth. Increase the challenge of this activity by sitting on big balls. This will challenge stability and engage more core (trunk) muscle strength.

Copy Cats: What fun ways can we move with the pool noodle? Let the children create the fun. Take turns being the “leader” and everyone copies. Beware this could get silly while children practice moving through self space and taking on the roles of leader and follower.

Noodle Cut-Ups: Cut a cylinder shaped pool noodle into 4 or 5 inch segments. Use these for tossing activities (like Rocket Ships above, toss at a target, use as a target, etc.) or to carry around in fun ways like putting it between your knees and waddling like a duck or two friends carrying it together without using their hands.

Cross Train For Improved Marathon Performance With the Kaua`i Marathon just around the corner, it is important for participants to prepare early and safely.

process, and cross training can be useful to continue exercising without increasing damage to the injured tissue.

Running three to four days a week will prepare your body for the type of impact stress associated with running. Adding cross training will improve your balance, enhance cardiovascular endurance and decrease chance of injury. Cross training can be any exercise or sport that supplements running.

Balance improvements are vital for any endurance activity and will enhance overall biomechanics with running. Balance exercises provide the body with proper feedback to assist with ankle, knee and hip stability during dynamic motions such as running.

Cardiovascular endurance is very important when considering the distance needed to run a marathon. Incorporating other forms of endurance activities, such as swimming, cycling or elliptical machines improves the body’s endurance with less stress on the joints.

Sometimes injuries occur during the training

With any injury, it is important to discuss alternative activities with a medical provider or a physical therapist.

Choosing exercises to complement your running is very essential; remember to avoid activities that mimic running. This will decrease the chance of over using particular muscles and possible injury. Set your goals early, and make them realistic. If you are new to running, it is advisable to start at least 3 months ahead. Use measurable outcomes, and keep a journal and make the most of cross training.

Tween ‘Tudes Five We Could Live Without

During the tween years, unsettling new behaviors like blatant eye-rolling, public back-talk, and peer worship darken the horizon like threatening clouds—and make parents want to run for cover. According to Alyson Shafer, psychotherapist and author of Ain’t Misbehavin’, these behaviors are a form of revolt. If storm clouds are brewing at your house, don’t batten down the hatches. Take these steps to tame unruly tween ‘tudes, starting today.

32

The slouch & shirk

The mood swing

Exaggerated eye-rolls, slouching, shirking parents’ gaze—non-verbal rebellion is a tweenage specialty.

“This is a natural developmental time to push against authority, even about something as simple as posture,” notes Schafer.

How to help: Recognize that it’s not (always) about you. Treat an eye-roll or a slumped stance as an invitation to uncover what’s genuinely bothering your child.

Living with a mercurial, moody tween is no picnic. But don’t blame your child—blame a growth spurt in the brain around 11-13 that impacts mood and behavior.

How to help: Ask your child to put a numerical value on their anger, from one to ten, and make a family rule to take a cool-down break if anyone tags their fury at five or higher.

The slick lip

The peer package

From a mumbled “Yeah, right,” to a sassy showdown over chores or homework, back talk peppers tween language. According to Schafer, tweens don’t consider mouthing off to be back talk—but most parents disagree.

How to help: Shooting back more angry words only fuels the fire. Respond with “I can see you’re upset right now. Let’s take some time to cool off. Do you want to spend time alone, or would you like me to stay with you?”

These days, your child is dressing, talking, and acting more and more like her pack of tween pals. Worse, she seems to prefer their company to yours.

What gives?

How to help: Parents should let out the leash a bit more with tweens, says Schafer. “Tweens will choose your company less often, so you need to find other ways to stay connected during this time.” Meeting tweens where they are: chatting, texting, sharing computer games, shopping, or simply listening, will help build a strong bond that will stand the test of time.

Internet Security Tips

Internet Safety Tips

by Pam Berry and Mary Lu Kelly, Oceanit

Preschoolers are one of the fastest growing groups of computer users.

When making an on-line purchase on a child’s behalf either use a prepaid credit card or turn the device on and off afterwards, to make sure no credit card information remains in the memory.

If the child is playing on a mobile device, set it to “Airplane mode” to turn off its wireless connection.

Talk to children about in-game purchases and make sure they understand that these cost real money.

School-aged kids increasingly use the Internet to socialize with other children.

Teach kids to never reply to spam and to never follow unknown links.

Bookmark favorite websites and tell kids to go to an adult if they land anywhere unexpected.

Teens can engage in risky behavior such as downloading illegal copies of movies and music and can have problems with identity theft.

Teens need to know how to make strong passwords and be taught to not share their passwords.

Teach teens not to give out their full name and full birth date (just day and month) and to never give out their Social Security Number online.

Talk to teens about risks associated with downloading software, music, videos and visiting sketchy websites. Make sure any computers or mobile devices they use are equipped with good security software.

Teach teens to always check out strange offers or requests on a good anti-hoax site such as www.snopes.com A prepaid credit card or an “allowance” (such as the one offered by iTunes) is a good way to help teens learn to handle online purchases – and keeps a lid on their spending.

He died shortly after the April 3 crash, but his parents and police are hoping the photo of the mundane text on his iPhone will serve as a stark reminder to drivers.

The photo shows Alexander was responding to a friend by typing “Sounds good my man, seeya soon, ill tw” before he crashed.

Parents: Student’s fatal text serves as warning A young man was typing to an unidentified person when police say he lost control of his car and ran off the road.

Alexander Heit’s final text cut off in mid-sentence.

Before he could send it, police say, Alexander, the 22-year-old student drifted into oncoming traffic, jerked the steering wheel and went off the road, rolling his car.

Marijuana, is one of the most

commonly used drugs in Hawaii. There is great misconceptions that because it is naturally occurring, it must be okay to use.

In fact, marijuana addiction is one of the most difficult we have dealt with in our 25 years of practicing addiction medicine here.

“

“

Marijuana is not an innocent natural herb.

Chemically, marijuana stimulates the brain’s addiction circuitry releasing dopamine in a manner similar to all other addicting drugs. It interferes with memory storage and retrieval. For a student it can have devastating effects on the capacity to learn. The information is floating in the brain somewhere but cannot be found during key times, such as during an exam,

Witnesses told police that he appeared to have his head down when he began drifting into the oncoming lane. According to police, an oncoming driver slowed and moved over just before he looked up and jerked the steering wheel.

Police say Alexander loved hiking and snowboarding, had a spotless driving record and wasn’t speeding.

In a statement released through police, Heit’s mother said she doesn’t want anyone else to lose someone to texting while driving.

“In a split second you could ruin your future, injure or kill others, and tear a hole in the heart of everyone who loves you,” Sharon Heit said. often resulting in poor performance and a negative domino effect occurs in other life facets.Chronic use leads to a motivational syndrome: a loss of interest in most activities and a general lassitude towards life.

In high doses, withdrawal effects are evident when stopped, including anxiety, irritability and insomnia.

Common effects of use include sedation, lowered testosterone levels in men, altered estrogen levels in women, and adverse effects on the respiratory system.

Marijuana is not an innocent natural herb. Experimentation can easily become addiction.

Students caught using in school or adults arrested and for possession experience profound legal consequences and systemic issues.

Why Do We Forget Things Senior Moments as We Mature?

It is not uncommon for older people to forget small details like where they put their glasses, appointments, or their favorite book.

This forgetfulness can become very traumatic, as one starts to experience feelings of loss, lack of worth and incompetence.

Dementia is actually a symptom and not a disease itself. It is caused by other diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, vascular disease, Pick’s disease, AIDS and other deficiencies and impairments that slow the intellectual functions of the mind.

Increasing numbers of healthy, normal people over the age of fifty are experiencing a decline in mental faculties. Memory loss can be of two sorts, short term memory loss, which refers to events that happened minutes or even an hour ago, and long term memory loss which pertains to events that have taken place in the past.

Following a few simple rules can keep memory loss at bay for years to come.

1. A healthy diet is a must. Include nutritious and vitamin-rich foods in your diet.

2. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, you must be careful to reduce your intake of salt and cut down on rich and fatty foods.

3. Start a exercise routine, walking, light jogging, and swimming are ways to keep the body exercised and stress free.

4. Yoga can relieve tension, and eliminate toxins in your body that may bring about disease.

Summer Fun Guide How to Make Camp Count The costs of summer camp may seem daunting, especially in today’s economic climate. However, particularly for working parents, camp is not a luxury but an essential part of the summer.

With two months of time off from school ahead, do you envision your child lying on the couch in front of the TV all summer long? Do you have thoughts of your teen plugged into an iPod or on Facebook for two straight months—or worse? It is a recurring challenge for all parents.

Perhaps we should rethink summer.

Instead of viewing it as endless hours for parents to coordinate activities, view it as part of your child’s education plan. Summer programs offer your child an opportunity for learning new skills, preparing for independence and developing passions that may extend to future careers or life-long hobbies.

Is your child an athlete? Look into sports specialty programs.

Is your child a nature lover? Try an outdoor adventure of hiking.

Does your child love the water?

Consider aquatic activities.

Is your child a born performer? Consider a performing arts program including drama, dance, and music.

Is your child a budding philanthropist?

Community service-centered programs may be the answer.

Summer camp and teen programs are a chance for your child to have new experiences not found in a classroom. No matter what your budget or your interest there is a summer program to meet your family’s financial and educational needs.

Make summer count!

Does Your Child Need Help Preparing for College?

Patti Pears MA, NCC Patti@123Admissions.com Patti Pears is a nationally certified counselor specializing in college admissions.

Work with an expert in college admissions on • Career exploration • College selection College admissions, especially to highly selective schools, is more complicated than ever before and colleges change their policies from year to year. “Knowing which colleges to apply to is the most important step in the application process,” says College Admissions Consultant Patti Pears. Matching a college to each student’s interests, personality and needs begins with identifying and fostering the child’s unique strengths.

The process of planning for college admissions can be started by sophomore year in high school or earlier with students ‘trying out’ their options through participation in clubs and activities. Teens can explore career paths through activities like job shadowing, taking elective courses in areas of interest, attending college fairs and college campus visits.

Students who apply to colleges that are a good ‘fit’, both academically and

Ocean Safety

Instead I’m going to strike a happy note and talk about our Junior Lifeguards! Our fabulous Junior Lifeguards. Our 9-time State Champion Junior Lifeguards!

This first thing you need to know is that you can be one too- if you are between the ages of 8 and 18.

Our lifeguards do an amazing job of running the Junior Lifeguard program.

You must be able to swim and run 100 yards non-stop with no assistance as well as give 100% at all times! You will be watched and

trained by our legendary men and women of the Ocean Safety Division. .Our officers and board members of the Kaua’i Lifeguard Association are certainly licking our wounds after the chaotic winter of drownings we’ve suffered here. These have obviously been devastating for the victims’ families and friends, and it’s been tough for us who didn’t know the victims but who work hard trying to improve Kaua`i’s ocean safety record. In my very last Kaua`i Family Magazine article I mentioned how we were figuring some things out, with 2012 having been our best statistical year ever. Now, of course, we have experienced our worst 3 months ever!

We call that “in your face.”

I must note that NONE of our drownings took place at a Lifeguarded Beach. So I’m not going to dwell on what may have gone wrong for us this year.

60

You will learn water skills, lifesaving skills, first aid skills, CPR skills, and you will learn about drug awareness and teamwork and problem solving.

You will thereby become a member of Kaua`i’s Force Multipliers!

Our lifeguards can’t cover every beach, so having more and more people trained to keep an eye on our many unguarded beaches will save lives.

Junior Lifeguards learn so much from the Lifeguards and their peers during a few years in the program that they grew to love and respect our ocean and participate in Kaua`i’s safety.

For more information on joining the Junior Lifeguard Program, see page 49.

Thanks as always to Ching Young Village for sponsoring my articles.

Make Your Keiki Beach Day a Safe One Varied shoreline topography, open-ocean swells and constantly changing conditions make our beaches beautiful, great for surfing, and often DANGEROUS for swimming.

Here are some safety tips below to help you have a safe summer day.

While some beaches are perfect for family fun, others are extremely hazardous and suited for experienced water people only.

Furry Friends

P T Simal abuse an

The abuser claimed that he hit the dog to help him because he had some mucus in his eyes, and feeble excuses were made for his bad behavior. The dog stayed with me for a few days of fairly intensive treatment and about two nights later started seizing again. This time even worse than before and I had to put him out of his misery.

“

Pet ownership is important, because it helps kids’ know that all living things have the same feelings they have

“

My column this issue is about a very serious and sad matter. Let me begin by telling a very sad and awful story that happened partly at my clinic a few weeks ago. A client of mine, I’ll call him John, called late one evening with an emergency. One of his friends owned a large black dog and her boyfriend had just hit the dog on its head with his beer bottle. The dog was badly injured and he wanted to bring the dog in. When they arrived the dog was unresponsive and seizing uncontrollably. It took multiple doses of sedatives and brain antiinflammatories to get the seizing to stop. I treated the dog as best I could and called some friends, one who is a police officer and another who works for the humane society. Without the owners willingness to press charges there was simply nothing anyone could do.

The above story is sad, not only in its own right, but because it is so common a tale. The names and dates and a few little details change, but the storyline is incredibly common. I’ve been involved in a number of humane society cases over the years where the initial complaint was one of cruelty to animals and the human abuse was discovered during the investigation into the animal abuse. There is no excuse for bad and violent behavior towards other people or animals. It is often the case that animal abuse and people abuse go hand in hand. It’s not a lack of empathy for animals that causes animal abuse, it’s a lack of empathy in general.

This is one reason I think pet ownership is important. It helps kids to realize that other living things have the same feelings they have, and that respect and empathy for animals is automatically transferred to their relationships with other people.

As members of our community we must report and pursue those who abuse animals, for the defect found in them applies to us all.
