Parenting In Cyber Space: Mom, Dad & LexingtonFamily.com

will never understand how previous generations parented without the Internet. From interacting with other moms in Facebook groups, to reading products reviews and pediatric health articles, the Internet is the place parents go for info. That’s why I’m so excited about Lexington Family Magazine’s shift to becoming a digital publication. The print version thrived for 22 years, and even though we will miss leafing through the paper version each month, our website will provide even more resources. I know LexingtonFamily.com will be a valuable tool for parents, because it is for me – a mom of three kids (ages 8, 4, and 2.) My smartphone is my lifeline when I am presented with a parenting conundrum. What’s in my recent Google searches? Here are just a few:

“Toddler-Friendly Recipes” “How to write a 504 Plan for ADHD” “Potty Training Tips” “Best Meditation Apps for Kids” “Correct dosage of children’s Tylenol by weight” “Where do I set up a college savings account?” This is just a small sample of what I as a parent look for online. Even if I find a great book on these topics, chances are I found out about the book from the Internet. Whatever is in your Google search bar, we hope LexingtonFamily.com is in the results. Keep in touch and tell us what you want to read about on the new and improved website and we will do our best to make it happen. Thanks for sticking with us, readers, on this journey from paper to the world wide web. Y

Changes Ahead: Find Us at LexingtonFamily.com

By John Lynch

wenty two years ago this month, while working out of a makeshift office in our living room, my wife and I published the first issue of Lexington Family Magazine. Our debut edition appeared in an oversize tabloid format – 20 pages of black and white text and photos on newsprint. It looks ancient. In those days, our toolkit included an exacto blade that we used to cut out the ads from one issue to place in the next. After we pasted up an actual size mockup of each page, I drove the pages to the Winchester Sun where they shot a negative of each page, created a metal plate from that negative and placed all the pages on their giant printing press. Today, we work out of an office, and for each issue, we create pdf files that are uploaded to an ftp site on the web. We can upload a 40-page issue in less than 10 minutes. A week later, we receive 25,000 copies from a printer in Wisconsin. As you can see from the copy in your hands, our magazine is a regular size tabloid printed in color on glossy paper.

Over the years, as we switched formats and print methods, we also grew. Our largest issue came in 2014, when our Summer Camp edition covered 80 pages. Our life as a print publication – thanks to the support of readers and advertising partners in the community – has been a joyous one. And now, technology leads us to another big change. This is our last print issue. Starting with our November issue, you can find us at LexingtonFamily.com. This latest move is in keeping with the times. Just as I no longer write stories on a typewriter, more and more of our readers find us online. The smart phone has replaced the newsstand as we hurl our way into the 21st century. Again, this is just a costume change for us. Our mission remains the same: To provide a forum for ideas, opinions and issues that affect Central Kentucky families. This forum will now be digital. At LexingtonFamily.com, you will find information, stories, videos and more about education (public and private schools), children’s health (emotional and physical wellness), The Arts (local youth

performances and arts education), maternity (pregnancy health, breastfeeding tips and product reviews), and of course, the area’s most comprehensive day-to-day calendar of events. You can still register to win free prizes in our giveaway contests. We will still host our Summer Camps & Activities Fair – in 2020, it will be Saturday, April 18 at Lexington Christian Academy. Regular features on the web will include birthday party listings, preschool and private school directories, and parenting advice. We also are expanding our weekly e-newsletter to twice a week – one for weekday and one for weekend activities. (To sign up, visit LexingtonFamily. com.) For 22 years, our pledge has been: We’ve got the family covered. We still do. We look forward to seeing you online. Y

‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’ & ‘‘Holes’

L Helping a Child Deal

With a Scary Event

our-year-old Jeremy was at the playground with his family when his friend Tom fell and broke his arm. Even though Tom’s dad was right there and took his son to the emergency room, Jeremy was upset by what he had seen and heard.

He was scared for Tom, frightened by his screaming. Even after his mother reassured Jeremy, he continued to talk about the fall. Mom’s first instinct was to protect Jeremy from his big feelings, so she took him for ice cream to get his mind off the incident. When Jeremy brought it up again, she would change the subject to help him avoid the fear and worry. She even took him to Tom’s house, where he could see that Tom was fine and sporting a bright purple cast, seemingly none the worse for the wear. She was puzzled why Jeremy still kept wanting to talk about what had happened. Mom did some research and came across the book, “The Whole Brain Child,” by Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson. As she read about integration of the brain and its importance in learning and in processing all sorts of information, she learned that emotional memory is stored in a different part of the brain than the physical details of memory. Jeremy kept going back to the playground story because he was having a hard time connecting the two, and processing his fear and upset about his experience. Mom stopped trying to distract Jeremy and decided to listen to him tell the story over and over again. She let him share how much fun he and Tom were having together. She affirmed how frightened he had been, and how awful it was to hear his friend’s cries. As he continued the story, she helped him finish the story with his visit to Tom and how well Tom was doing, and that both of 6 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

them were safe. Over the next days and weeks, Jeremy talked about it less often, and it seemed that his stress decreased as the emotions and details were knit together in the context of the story. What Mom did was help Jeremy experience the fear he had felt and move through it to the other side of the story, where Tom was healing and they were both happy. If she had persisted in changing the subject, or told him to “get over it,” he would have been denied that opportunity. Feelings that are not expressed often go underground only to re-surface in troublesome ways like nightmares, irrational fears, or avoidance of places or people that trigger the unpleasant memory. It’s as if the feeling takes on a life of its own. “Telling the story” allows the feeling to be explored and gradually put into the context of the larger narrative. The ability to do this allows a child to develop a sense of competence and resilience. He knows he has managed something difficult and develops confidence that he will be able to do so in the future. That’s something to feel happy about. Dr. Lesley Iwinski is the mother of three grown children, a family physician and owner of Growing Peaceful Families, LLC. She offers classes, workshops and seminars. Info: (859) 333-3053 or www.growingpeacefulfamilies.com. Y

FCPS Leads Way in Academic Excellence By: Emmanuel Caulk Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent

raduates from the Fayette County Public Schools receive more than just a high school diploma. When you choose our schools, you choose an experience for your child designed to equip them to excel in whatever future they can imagine for themselves. Our students have unlimited potential. We are committed to helping them develop the attributes they’ll need to succeed not only in college and career, but in life. FCPS students rate among the best in the state and nation, routinely earning awards and honors in a variety of academic, civic, artistic, leadership, career and athletic pursuits. In September, 45 FCPS seniors were named semifinalists in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program based on their performance on the PSAT. This distinction places them the running for a share of $31 million in scholarships. With 45 students selected for this honor, FCPS is proud to be the school dis-

trict with the highest number of National Merit Semifinalists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky! Although 6% of the students in Kentucky attend Fayette County Public Schools, we produced 22% of the National Merit Semifinalists! During the development of our Strategic Plan, we asked families about their dreams for their children and used that vision to develop our portrait of a FCPS graduate – one who is Academically Prepared, College and Career Ready, Civically Engaged, Culturally Competent and Equipped for the Future. These students are stellar examples of how we prepare our students academically for success: t From Bryan Station: Madeline Farrar; t From Henry Clay: August Colby, Eli Flomenhoft, Natalie Hayslip, Paul Kamer, Megan Kauffman, Eesh Kulshrestha, Bhoomi Shah, Briana Thompson and Helen Yong; t From Paul Laurence Dunbar: John Adkins, Niklas Balk, Henry Blyth, Catheryne Cunningham, William Ding, Abigail Fister, Reka Gal, Grace Goff, Amal Gondal, Alan

Just after our semifinalists were named, I visited each of their schools to congratulate them personally. I thought that being called down to the office would make them think they were in trouble, but none of them even broke a sweat. As one student said, “I’m a good kid and I can’t think of anything I did wrong.” I presented each school with a banner listing the names of all of their National Merit Semi-Finalists, and gave each student a pin for their lanyard in recognition of being Academically Prepared. I hope you’ll check out my Twitter feed @FCPSManny to see videos and pictures from that day and to see other great things happening in our FCPS. Y

Valuing Function Over Structure

his is the essence of what’s wrong with healthcare today,” Dr. Rick Graebe said. “Three-quarters of our training as doctors is structure-based.” Which makes sense because doctors have to understand structure first. A heart surgeon must understand how that organ works. Same with an ear, nose and throat specialist who must know the inner workings of those organs. But we humans live in a functional world. Our bodies must perform – must function – in order for us to interact with our environment. Dr. Graebe, a behavioral optometrist in Versailles, observes this structure-function disparity all the time in his practice. “My personal exam starts where everyone else’s stops off,” he said, comparing the eye exam he administers with those offered in traditional practices. Recently, a family with a history of lazy eye brought their 2-year-old son in for a precautionary eye exam. Tests showed that the child had a central cataract in each

For Toddlers, Picky Eating Is Normal

icky eating is very common in childhood. For toddlers, it is basically a normal phenomenon. Older children and even adults can be picky. There are reasons for this and some things that might help make it better. We all have foods we like and do not like. Some children narrow their preferences a lot more than others, however. Toddlers slow down their food intake as their growth velocity slows after the rapid growth of infancy. They start developing more autonomy in feeding themselves, and they start developing food preferences. It is normal for them to balance their diets over a two-week period instead of daily. They will go on “food jags” where they may eat huge amounts of one food for days. Some days they will hardly eat anything. Infants taste the foods their mothers eat through the amniotic fluid they are

floating in before they are born. They in picking out different foods and even (if also taste food through breast milk after old enough) help to prepare them. birth.

}}} CHILD SAFETY TIPS From a child’s perspective everything is a potential mountain to climb (that giant bookshelf), obstacles to overcome (those pesky stairs) or mysterious places to investigate (anything beyond the baby gate). To help so those brave expeditions don’t result in serious injury, follow these tips:

Install window guards and stops. Screens keeps bugs out, not kids in! Secure babies and young kids when seated in high chairs and strollers. Prevent tv and furniture tipovers by anchoring to wall. Take to playgrounds with shock absorbing surfaces.

Use baby gates on stairs. Don’t leave child unattended in shopping cart. Wear helmet when doing activities like biking or snow skiing. Don’t let kids play on high porches, decks or balconies. Use safety nets on trampolines.

Blue Devils Defense Has Guardian Angel

Tommy Svetich SCHOOL: Henry Clay High GRADE: 12 / SPORT: Soccer ACADEMICS: A member of The Academy at Henry Clay, Tommy has a 4.5 weighted GPA, has taken 12 A.P. classes and scored 32 on the ACT. PARENTS: Susie & Dave

he most nerve-racking experience in Tommy Svetich’s soccer career was also his most exhilarating. The Henry Clay High boys team caught fire at the end of last season and turned a potential losing season into an unexpected success story. Earlier in the season, the Blue Devils were humbled by rival Dunbar, 7-0, a particularly painful defeat for Tommy. The 6-foot-1, 170-pound senior anchors the defense from his center back position. This season he’s one of three captains and is the reigning defensive MVP. Last year, Henry Clay barreled into the Region final on a roll, winning six of its last seven games. Still, Dunbar was a heavy favorite. The Bulldogs took a 1-0 halftime lead but Henry Clay scored twice to pull ahead. “The end of that game was the longest 20 minutes of my life,” Tommy said. “We stopped them to win and you can’t describe the feeling. It was insane. No one thought we had a chance.” Henry Clay then advanced to the State semifinals before falling to eventual state champion St. Xavier, 1-0. The Blue Devils posted nine shutouts last year and have registered eight in the first 11 games this year. Henry Clay is 9-0-2 and was ranked No. 1 in the country earlier this season. Tommy directs traffic from the middle of the defense and inspires his teammates with his fearless play.

Scholar Athlete Scholarship: $3,000 Two Scholar Athletes a year will be picked at random to share the $3,000 Darrell B. Pulliam Memorial Scholarship provided by Mike Pulliam, a Rector Hayden Realtor and instructor at Man O’ War Golf. Other contributors are Barry and Mike Barrett of Auto Excel, local accountant Kenny Frank, Bethany Smith of Smith CPA & Associates PLLC, Howard Smith of Smith Garage Equipment, and Dairy Queen franchise owner Paul Wright. 34 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

“I’m pretty good at figuring out the play before it happens, and I’m tall so I win a lot of headers,” he said. “I’m not afraid of tackling. Winning a hard tackle is so satisfying. It shows that you’re dominant.” Even though he is an All-City, AllDistrict, All-Region player, Tommy has decided to focus on academics in college. He has a 4.5 weighted GPA in The Academy at Henry Clay and scored 32 on the ACT. The four A.P. classes he’s taking now bring his career total to 12. A math-science guy, he’s attracted to both medicine and engineering with an eye toward the University of Michigan because of its stellar academic reputation, because of its strong engineering program and because he and his family have attended a summer camp in Michigan for years. Medicine may win out over engineering because his father, Dave, is a surgeon. “The human body is fascinating,” Tommy said, “and listening to my dad tell stories about surgery is amazing.” Academics come easily to him, especially math. “I ask him when he comes home if he has homework and he says, ‘Nope,’” his mother Susie said. “He does it at school.” “With math,” Tommy said, “you explain it to me once and I know how to do it,” he said. That kind of know-how will take him far. Y

presents:

educator of the month Tiffany Brown

s one of 16 grandchildren in a large extended family that includes 27 great-grandchildren, Ashland Elementary School teacher Tiffany Brown spent a childhood surrounded by cousins, nephews and nieces. She started babysitting her younger relatives when she was 12 and has always had a soft spot for children. That’s probably why she lasted only one semester in college as a physical therapy major before switching to education. It was the right move. Right after graduation, she landed a job at Ashland where she has worked for 16 years, the past 12 as a third-grade teacher.

“She dives deep into the lives of her kids and wants to be a mentor as well as an educator.”

“I love third grade because it’s a stepping stone for students,” she said. “It’s a big jump academically, a time when friendships become more important, and kids are developing personalities and interests.” Third grade also is a time when students have transitioned from learning to read to reading to learn. Brown’s students enjoy reading biographies, everyone from Rosa Parks to Amelia Earhart. “I love those rich conversations we have about what we’re reading,” Brown said. Her reputation as a gifted educator is well known in the Ashland community, making her a sought-after teacher, according to Principal Shannon Blackburn. “She is highly requested because she represents the whole package,” Blackburn said. “She dives deep into the lives of her kids and wants to be a mentor as well as an educator. Whatever she does, you know she is going to dedicate herself completely.” Brown credits her colleagues for any success she’s had as a teacher.

“We work so closely together and the whole team wants what’s best for our kids,” she said. “That’s the true gift and reward in education – seeing children grow academically, socially and emotionally. It takes a village to make that happen.” Part of the village has been Brown’s two daughters, Lorelei, who just entered SCAPA as a fourth grader specializing in drama after attending Ashland through third grade, and Stella, a first grader at Ashland. Brown and her husband adopted Stella from Uganda when she was 2, spending six weeks in Africa finalizing the adoption. “Adoption is something I always wanted to do,” Brown said. “I told my mother when I was 12 that I was going to adopt a child. I’ve always had a heart for adoption.” NOMINATIONS: Asbury University’s School of Education, which offers undergraduate and graduate degrees for young adults and working professionals in Kentucky and around the world, is pleased to honor world-class educators throughout Kentucky. If you would like to nominate an educator, contact Asbury University’s School of Education at AUSOE@asbury.edu.
