The Greatest Compliment I Could Receive From A Customer Is A Referral.

BE MORE POSITIVE, HAPPY, HEALTHY & SMART That is what you will learn by reading, Positivity!

Unlike other books regarding happiness, this book builds a foundation on being smarter, obtaining the skills necessary toward gainful employment and managing money successfully. How can a person be happy if they do not have a good job, cannot give a good speech and cannot invest wisely? In the highly competitive world in which we live, a foundation must be built that makes people happy and healthy. The foundation starts with positive thinking and a healthy lifestyle but it should be coupled with continuing education and prowess in accumulating and managing money. This answers the question, how can a person be happy in today’s world.

“Reading Positivity is a game changer for every reader. The unique wisdom and philosophy of life that Harry Edelson shares proves that life can be easy and joyful for everyone. Imagine a world if seven billion people lived by Positivity!

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Harry Edelson has figured out true keys to a good life – which is the one common denominator everyone wants. And I know, because I’ve interviewed over 400 of the top CEOs, and I see a lot of wisdom and very successful people…and Harry has truly figured it out. What a gift you offer in this book.”

ROBERT REISS, HOST & CEO, THE CEO SHOW “As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’ The wisdom in Harry Edelson’s book is like finding a great investment. It continues to grow in value and will pay dividends throughout your life. This is the same philosophy that the brilliant investor, George Soros, has advocated through his Open Society Foundations where I served as a Trustee for many years” JOHN W. ALLEN, INT’L INVESTMENT BANKER AND CHAIRMAN OF GREATER CHINA CORP “The interesting thing about Harry Edelson is that he is usually the smartest guy in the room and what is amazing, the happiest guy in the room. His book tells it all and can be easily absorbed by adults and students alike.”

Help Kids Feel Comfortable at the Dentist

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child go to the dentist by age 1, or within six months of the eruption of his or her first tooth.

Parents worried about how their kids will respond to the dentist can take the following steps to acclimate kids to dental visits to make them more comfortable during their appointments now and down the road: Be a positive role model. Children frequently learn by example. If they see their parents being diligent about dental care, they’re more likely to embrace proper oral hygiene. Bring children to your own dental appointments so they understand the process and become familiar with the type of equipment used.

Routine dental examinations and cleanings are an important component of oral healthcare for both children and adults. However, many children do not visit the dentist until well after the time recommended by medical and dental professionals.

Stick to the first-tooth milestone. Take your child to the dentist on or about when his or her first tooth erupts. Early dental visits will get kids used to going to the dentist and prevent minor problems that may lead to more complex

dental issues.

Read books about the dentist and role play. Information can allay kids’ fears about the dentist. Read books together about dental visits and act out possible scenarios with your kids. Give kids toy dental health tools and have them practice exams on you and vice-versa.

Be supportive and instill trust. Avoid telling your child that everything will be okay. If a procedure is needed, this could affect his or her trust in you and make the dental office an even greater source of anxiety. Simply be supportive and offer a hand to squeeze or a hug if your child needs you.

Consider using your dentist. Some parents like to take their children to a pediatric dentist, but it may not always be necessary. Many family practices cater to patients of all ages, and the familiarity of the office may help make children feel more comfortable. Speak with your dentist about the ages they see.

Steer clear of negative words. Michael J. Hanna, DMD, a national spokesperson for the AAPD, suggests using positive phrases like “clean, strong, healthy teeth” to make the visit seem fun and positive rather than scary and alarming. Let the office staff come up with their own words to describe processes that won’t seem too frightening.

By employing these techniques, kids’ dental visits can be more pleasant for all involved, paving the way for a lifetime of healthy teeth.

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Parents may be unaware of the dental health timeline, or they could be reluctant to bring their children for fear of how their kids will behave - especially if parents are harboring their own apprehensions about the dentist.

Books to Burns Characters from a variety of storybooks came to life at the annual Burnie Awards at Burns Avenue Elementary School in the Hicksville Public School District, as students role-

played for chances to win coveted prizes.

The event was comprised of four students from each grade level reciting poetic lines about the books from which they were characters.

From the four contestants, one was announced as the winner of a Burnie Award.

The event served as a fun and educational way to reinforce the importance of reading to students.

Broadcasting from Bethpage

A new broadcasting studio at Bethpage High School is offering a unique opportunity for students interested in the field.

Included as part of the Broadcast Journalism curriculum, the studio was completed in January and has been allowing students to write, anchor and produce segments live every morning.

The daily three-tofive-minute broadcast features a live reading of all club and schoolwide announcements, as well as a pre-recorded feature story of the week, a sports corner, the day’s weather and available lunch options from the cafeteria. The script is written the morning prior to broadcasting. Anchors

are positioned in front of a green screen and read the announcements from a teleprompter.

All old and current segments can be viewed by searching “Bethpage High School TV” on YouTube.

For their outstanding efforts in collecting food and clothing to donate, students and staff members at Old Country Road Elementary School in the Hicksville Public School District were

presented with certificates of recognition by the Hicksville Boys and Girls Club.

Tom Bruno, director of the club, visited the school to present the certificates; among those recognized

were representatives from the fourth- and fifthgrade student councils.

The collection of food and clothing to donate was the latest altruistic endeavor at Old Country Road.

Healthy Habits to Combat Stress

Few adults can imagine a life that does not include financial- or work-related stress. But there are ways to combat stress that can benefit people’s longterm health and improve their presentday quality of life.

Stress has an immediate and potentially long-term effect on the human body. Though it’s a natural response to both good and bad experiences, stress, when chronic, can produce a host of negative consequences that greatly diminish one’s quality of life.

Combatting stress can sometimes be difficult, as the causes of stress are never too far away for many adults. In its 2015 “Stress in AmericaTM: Paying With Our Health” survey, the American Psychological Association found that money is the top cause of stress for Americans. The survey was conducted on behalf of the APA by Harris Poll, which

enhance overall cognitive function. Those are considerable benefits to people dealing with elevated levels of stress, which can contribute to both physical and mental fatigue and negatively impact one’s ability to concentrate. Studies also have shown that regular exercise can decrease tension, which tends to increase as stress levels rise, and elevate and help to stabilize mood, which often decreases as stress levels increase.

Don’t lean on alcohol after stressful days. Many people respond to stressful days by consuming alcohol. While alcohol helps some people forget a stressful day, it also produces psychological and physiological side effects that can compound the effects of the very stress drinkers are looking to relieve. People who drink to alleviate stress may Develop a support network.

Toiletries Donated Southside Hospital’s community relations department donated several boxes of toiletries to the Family Service League recently.

These personal items, including toothpaste and tissues, will be given to more than 1,000 Family Service League clients who throughout the year need these items.

“Southside Hospital is committed to serving the area residents in every way that it can,” said Donna Moravick, NP, executive

director of the hospital.

“We appreciate the Family Service League’s partnership and service to our community.”

Karen Boorshtein, president and CEO of Family Service League, said, “Family Service League is proud to work with Southside Hospital and Northwell Health.

Their continued generous support has helped us provide a broad range of social service and behavioral health programs for individuals in crisis.

Grief Reach Grant

The Family Service League and Southside Hospital share a vision of providing excellent care to those in need. We are grateful for their role in helping Long Island families mobilize their strengths and improve the quality of their lives at home and in the community.”

For more information about Southside Hospital, call 631.968.3000. To reach the Family Service League, call 631.998.0009.

Good Shepherd Hospice announced today that it received a $25,000 Grief Reach grant from the New York Life Foundation. The funding will support their Children’s Bereavement Program, which provides avenues to overcome language barriers in the Hispanic community and extend bereavement support services to nonEnglish speaking children and families following the death of a loved one.

“We are grateful for the New York Life

Foundation’s investment in this program, which will help us build our capacity in order to fulfill our mission,” said Mary Ellen Polit, Good Shepherd Hospice chief administrative officer. “The support will help many grieving children and their families in our community to begin the healing process.”

“The feedback we’ve received since the program began five years ago has helped us to meet the growing needs of the

providers. We not only want to help them to broaden their reach, but we also want to help them to develop and improve their organization internally,” said Maria Collins, New York Life Foundation vice president. “We have expanded the application parameters and increased the financial support so that youth across the country can receive the help they need to heal and grow.”
