HELLO, FRANKLIN. Welcome to September. This month brings the first days of fall.

When I think of fall, I envision a renewed sense of focus and purpose. It's a season of transition, right? Leaves will start to turn soon. Temperatures will start to decline.

Things are starting to change. Summer brings a lot to the table with vacations, cookouts, day trips, a distraction or two and a lot of family time. Summer is over now. I see this as an opportunity to take a look at where I am personally and establish a cadence to meet the goals of the year. Since many of us have put away our pool and beach attire for the year, it’s also a great time to reassess our “style."

Whether it’s wardrobe, accessories, home decor or even food, our style says a lot about us. It’s a little glimpse of who we are as people. So in September, we give style a fresh look. School is back in session, so why not? In this issue, you’ll see Miss Tennessee featured at Franklin’s own Gin-O Boutique, the Tennessee Titans sporting their new uniforms, exciting happenings around town and more.

Premier Preschool Nurtures Learning Through Balance Children start learning from the moment they are born, and research shows that the first five years of a child’s life hold the most potential for development. That’s a lot of pressure for parents!

So, what is the best way to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for learning?

“We know every child and family is different – there is no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning,” said Rebecca Frizzell, Franchise Owner of Primrose School of Cool Springs. “At Primrose®, our approach is all about balance: balance between purposeful play and guidance from teachers, balance between traditional early education methods and the latest research, and balance between different developmental areas.”

The Primrose approach, called Balanced Learning®, offers specific and varied experiences that spark children’s development regardless of their learning style. Balanced Learning is exclusive to Primrose, created from the best early education wisdom. It balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.

Created from the best early education wisdom.

Primrose pulled the best from well-known methods, such as Montessori, Piaget and Vygotsky, and blended those methods with the best from today’s leading experts in early education.

Balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers.

Balanced Learning balances play with guidance and instruction from teachers, which maximizes each child’s opportunity to learn, make choices and become independent, no matter his or her learning style.

Encourages curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.

Intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional skills are embedded in children’s daily experiences, not exercised once a week or if the teacher has time. Through Balanced Learning, children learn and practice concepts in language and literacy;

science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM); social studies; music; physical development and health; and compassion, kindness and life skills continuously throughout the day.

Balanced Learning is an integrated approach, meaning skills and concepts are reinforced through different, yet connected experiences. For example, a learning theme might be living things. When the children go outside to play they will observe the grass, trees, insects and birds. Then they may explore the different stages of a plant’s life cycle at the free-choice Science Center, read a book about living things with the teacher, and write a story or paint a picture based on living things.

Themes, skills and concepts are explored for multiple weeks so that children can explore each topic in a variety of ways. As a result, learning comes naturally and is so much fun.

“At Primrose, we believe who children become is just as important as what they know,” said Frizzell.

“Character development and life skills are also key components of Balanced Learning.”

Traits such as honesty, cooperation, generosity and empathy are nurtured in children on a daily basis.

With the help of the Primrose Friends puppets, teachers model and teach these important character traits and skills through books, discussions, art projects, puppet play, games and role playing.

Balanced Learning is more than a curriculum. Daily classroom experiences; classroom equipment, materials, books and toys; training; assessment and school-home connection resources are all intentionally aligned to engage children in developmentally-appropriate learning. On the surface children simply have fun and engage in purposeful play, but underneath is a comprehensive and connected approach that provides an unparalleled early learning experience.

Learn about the Primrose Schools Balanced Learning approach and Primrose School of Cool Springs by visiting PrimroseCoolSprings.com or calling 615.771.3001.

Franklin Lifestyle | September 2018

R IT WAS A SPRING FASHION SHOW FOR THE FALL SEASON, BUT A MERE CATWALK WOULD NOT SUFFICE. Instead, a stage was needed, and a titanic one, too.

Because upon it—and before a packed crowd

standing

shoulder-to-shoulder

downtown last April—stood a group of larger-than-life hometown heroes: Jurrell Casey and Taylor Lewan, Kevin Byard and Delanie Walker, Brian Orakpo and Marcus Mariota. Each man his own person, each man blessed with his own particular skills and abilities, but each man also fused into a single, cohesive unit through the power of teamwork and the magic of style.

It was the unveiling of the Titans’ new uniforms, a preview of the team’s seriously sharp new look. The crowd went wild. Let’s take it from the top, starting with the helmet.

Gone are the two blue stripes, replaced by a single slash of two-toned silver. It’s a sword, a symbol that runs throughout the new uniform. The inspiration? Think Titans of Greek mythology, the primordial gods who battled the Olympians in what were arguably the first Super Bowls, a series of epic struggles called the Titanomachy. Also, think Parthenon and Nashville as the “Athens of the South.” It quickly becomes clear that the ancient Greek theme to our city predates even Music Row and hot chicken. Hence the sword element, appearing as well on the shoulders of the jerseys along with “sheaths” on the sides of the pants.

FROM FUN AND FASHION AT GIN-O TO SERVING AT-RISK YOUTH

KATIE CREIGHTON WAS NAMED MISS TENNESSEE INTERNATIONAL BACK IN APRIL. Her characteristics of leadership, intelligence, beauty and glamor and her willingness to work hard on her platform are what won her the title. While she's certainly rocking some stunning, cool fashion from Gin-O Boutique in downtown Franklin, she also has another job to do.

Katie's platform is improving the lives of some of Williamson County's young citizens. She is the founder and CEO of Erika's Safe Place, a local nonprofit whose mission is to prevent at-risk youth in Williamson County from re-offending, being sent into custody, dropping out of school, and/or ultimately spiraling downhill into suicide.

Katie's best friend from high school, Erika, committed suicide in 2015. As teens, both girls struggled with self-worth and delinquent behaviors. Unfortunately, those unresolved emotions and thoughts followed Erika into adulthood. Katie says after Erika passed away, she started to research suicide statistics and found suicide to be the leading cause of death amongst adolescents. Williamson County is ranked second in the state for teen suicide and nationally, suicide has increased 128 percent since 1980.

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. For more information, visit ErikasSafePlace.com.

LOVING THE FAMILY KITCHEN HOW TWO WOMEN BUILT THEIR DREAM KITCHENS ARTICLE MARIA DINOIA | PHOTOGRAPHY LISA LINN MANLEY

RENOVATING OR REMODELING YOUR KITCHEN IS NEVER AN EASY UNDERTAKING. Counter space, work flow and storage are all part of the kitchen equation, and mistakes are easy to make. Franklin residents Christine Frost and Donna Williams decided to enlist the help of professionals. Carriage House Custom Homes & Interiors stepped in to help give these women a kitchen to be proud of!

CHRISTINE FROST DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR KITCHEN THE HEART OF THE HOME? Yes! It is where everyone gathers—friends and family.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR KITCHEN? The island, storage space and the warmth of the kitchen are my favorite parts.

WHAT’S THE BEST THING YOU DO IN YOUR KITCHEN? Cooking meals for our family and entertaining our family and friends.

WHAT WAS YOUR KITCHEN LIKE BEFORE? WHY DID YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT? HOW DID CARRIAGE HOUSE HELP YOU? It was small and not a lot of storage or countertop space. We wanted a bigger kitchen to be able to cook and entertain more comfortably. Carriage House helped us design our dream kitchen and make it work for our house. They were fantastic to work with.

Turn a life at risk into a life worth living More than 17.5 million Americans are living with a serious mental illness, and of them, 4 million also have a drug or alcohol addiction.

Adolescents and adults in Nashville who are struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders have a new resource for recovery at Rogers Behavioral Health.

The new, evidence-based Dual Diagnosis program effectively treats both substance abuse disorder and mental health issues like OCD, anxiety, and depression—at the same time. Dual treatment includes: • Outpatient programs that allow patients to attend a structured treatment setting and maintain schedules at home, school, or work • Proven approach led by a board-certified psychiatrist, expert medical staff, and dedicated care team • Group, individual, and family therapy In addition to addiction, Rogers-Nashville also provides treatment for OCD and anxiety, depression and mood disorders, and eating disorders.

Does our treatment work? See the effects of our evidence-based treatment at rogersbh.org/outcomes.

Request a free screening. Call our Nashville clinic today at 615-760-3990 or visit rogersbh.org.
