FALL

W E LCO M E TO T H E ‘ H O O D

It’s one of our favorite times of the year...

Fall is simply Fabulous! The colors, the outside activites, apple orchards, pumkin patches; there are so many things for families to enjoy together! It is the time of year that overloads all your senses: the sights, the smells, the tastes, the comfort! What’s more comfortable than throwing a sweater on, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate or apple cider and looking out the window at the blowing leaves. Slow down and take time to really enjoy this Fall!

The November Issue of Hood will be about Volunteering. Does your family do it?

Pumpkins offer more than crooked smiles this season

By Greta Stewart, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center Fall is here! The trees have turned color, the weather is cooler and there is still so much to explore before the first snow flies. October is a fun month, filled with goodies and goblins, and, of course, pumpkins!

The pumpkin got its name from the Greek word “pepon” or large melon.

Seeds from related plants have been found in Mexico, dating over 7,000 years to 5500 B.C. Closer to home, Native Americans have used pumpkins for a variety of functions. Not only did they flatten and dry thin strips of pumpkin, making them into mats but research shows many tribes were well aware of the pumpkin’s healing properties.

Amanda Viau, executive chef at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center says pumpkin flesh is a great source of Vitamin A, C and E.

“The seeds give us a great source of magnesium, Vitamin K and offers no cholesterol,” she says. “Pumpkin is rich in carotenoids, which act as an immune booster as well as cucurbitacin and beta carotine which helps in treating many ailments.”

Native Americans used the seeds to help heal wounds and the seed oil was used to treat burns. “Pumpkin is also a great source of antioxidants and is an antiinflammatory,” confirms Viau. In addition to healing powers, the nutrients present in just one serving of pumpkin are a testament to the health benefits of this timeless fruit.

Consider what is found in a pumpkin: Quick Pumpkin Nutrition Facts (1 cup cooked, boiled, drained, without salt) Calories: 49

Protein: 2 grams

Carbohydrate: 12 grams

Dietary Fiber: 3 grams

Calcium: 37 mg

Iron: 1.4 mg

Magnesium: 22 mg

Potassium: 564 mg Zinc 1 mg

Selenium: .50 mg

Vitamin C: 12 mg

Niacin: 1 mg

Folate: 21 mcg

Vitamin A: 2650 IU

Vitamin E: 3 mg

Now those facts may be interesting but now the question is how can we get more people to eat it? Viau says almost all parts of the pumpkin including flesh, seeds, shell, leaves and flowers are edible and can be used in a variety of recipes. In fact, 90 percent of pumpkin is actually water.

Here are some uses of pumpkin Viau suggests: • Substitute seeds for croutons on a salad • Eat seeds as a snack like mixed nuts or substitute them for sunflower seeds • Roast the flesh for stews • Bake it for pumpkin fries • For great pumpkin recipes see Hood’s menu section • Use the leaves as a substitute for grape leaves • Used the shell to wrap fish on the grill • Use the blossoms--they can be stuffed with strawberries and cream cheese for a sweet treat “There is a variety of great recipes that can be found and remember that this is a very sweet and nutritious vine fruit so make sure to use it whenever you can,” Viau says. n

Good Things Come To Kids Who Wait

By Richard E. Bavaria, Ph.D., Sylvan Learning

It’s tough. We tell kids to do it all the time. And it’s no easier for us adults, either. We hate to do it. We hate to wait. No one likes to wait. We live in an instant world. We want what we want when we want it. But learning patience, learning to wait, learning to control our impulses, can be an important life skill, making our days less stressful and our futures more secure.

• T hink before acting. One of life’s major lessons is learning how to control our impulses. Think of those marshmallow kids. Give kids an advantage by teaching them to take a private “time out” before acting precipitately. Close your eyes and think of someplace peaceful. Say the Lord’s Prayer.

Recite the pledge of allegiance. Count to ten.

There’s a famous Stanford University child psychology experiment from 1972 where Dr. Walter Mischel gave kids a fluffy, puffy, tantalizing, aromatic, mouthwatering, irresistible marshmallow – yum! – but told them if they waited a short while, they’d get two marshmallows! One now or two later. One third of the kids waited patiently. Okay, maybe not really so patiently, but they waited. Mischel and his researchers followed the kids over the years. The kids who deferred gratification and walked away with their cheeks filled with two marshmallows tended to do better in school, have better grades, score higher on ACTs, focus better on goals, and even have more fulfilling relationships. Why is it important to teach kids self-control? And how can we adults help our kids achieve it?

• Be a role model. When kids see us acting the way we want them to act, they know we’re serious. Let them see you exercising self-control as you save money, put off a big purchase until you can pay for it, finish something you’re responsible for before taking time off, donate to your favorite charity, or fulfill a promise even if it’s inconvenient. They’re watching.

Here are a few thoughts.

• Self control gives you power. Knowing how to control their emotions and behavior gives kids power over their own actions. Let them see how they can be in control over situations where they could easily be tempted to get into trouble.

• Time outs still work. Especially for younger kids, removing them from difficult situations is always a good idea.

Eventually they’ll learn to walk away from frustrations whenever they can.

• H ave rewards and consequences. Rewarding kids with praise when you’re proud of the choices they’ve made is never wrong. Kids love it when we notice their hard work.

Also, it’s a good idea to come up with some consequences together, for when they’re not so successful. “I know you try hard, but what would discourage you from losing your temper like that again?”

20 | October 2011 | thehoodmagazine.com

• T each how to deal with “no.” We all get a “no” from time to time when we really want a “yes.” Show how to ask politely later, find something else to do for a while, ask how to “earn” what we want, or – a really, really good one – wait your turn.

• Show how to recognize moods. Teach kids to recognize their own and others’ moods. Anger. Sadness. Impatience.

Frustration. Expansiveness. Generosity. In other words, know when you and others are in the right mood to get what you want.

• Be firm. Firmness and matter-of-factness are the best ways to let kids learn how to control themselves and delay gratification, even if for only a few minutes. If they know how to get under your skin, you’re in trouble. Stay firm and calm. A little humor can’t hurt, either. “No, you silly goose, of course you can’t play video games now. It’s homework time. Nice try, though.”

• Give attention and feedback. Listen to what they’re saying.

Everyone wants to be heard. Then, give honest and clear feedback about their behavior. “You know, I can tell you’re really trying to be patient with your younger brother. Well done.”

• Be patient. It’s true. Patience is the first necessity of adults who deal with kids. Parents, teachers, coaches – we all need loads of it. Chances are, if we’re patient most of the time, our kids will learn to be, too.

Why Consign?

By Tammi Pearson , A+ Kids Stuff & Phaze II The benefits to consignment is endless not only is it a great way to recycle unwanted items such as clothing, baby equipment, and furniture to name a few but it is also a way to recoup some of the expense of the rising cost of consumer goods. When you consign an item you are getting a portion of the sale once the store has sold your item. There are many consignments stores in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area for you to find just the items you are looking for or to help you consign the items that you have simply outgrown.

Tips for consigning: 1) Set an appointment with the store to drop off consignment goods to ensure your items get on the sales floor in a timely manner.

2) Consign items for the appropriate season this will ensure that they sell quickly. It is best to get them in the first 2 months of the season.

3) Consign items as soon as possible don’t hang on to items for several seasons, this reduces the resale ability. Instead as soon as your child out grows something or you no longer need that baby equipment bring it in, or as soon as the season allows.

4) Freshly laundered and folded items make a difference and saves time. If it takes batteries, make sure it has working batteries. Items sell faster when people see that it works.

5) Make sure you read and understand your contract. If you have questions don’t be afraid to ask. n

Fall Frame

Well, summer is over and Fall has begun! Time to take down the Red, White and Blue Porch Wall Decoration and make something new for fall!

In previous Autumn’s, I would hang a wreath with a scarecrow on it, but I never really liked it, and he was so faided this year I knew I had to try something different.

I am am a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) girl, not much into buying things, I would rather make my own. I wanted something fun, yet with a bit more grown-up appeal.

Let’s Get Started!

Step 1: Go in search for a frame.

Either one you’re not using or a great clearance find. No need to spend a lot.

Step 2: Deconstruct

I had to do a bit of deconstruction with mine since it was attached to the frame on the back with staples. Nothing 2 and 4 year old boys and some needle nose pliers couldn’t fix. My boys LOVE deconstruction. I even let them punch the picture out of the frame with their hands once the staples were out.

Step 3: Paint

I had a small can of crimson red paint in the basement...go through what you have, pick a fall favorite

Step 4: Ribbon & Leaves

I used some orange ribbon I had on hand. Again, stick with a fall theme or color. I then deconstructed an old fall wreath by taking the plastic leaves off and sewed them to the ribbon.

Step 5: The Hooks

Screw in hooks on the front of the frame where you will attach the leaffilled ribbon. Have the kids help tie the ribbon onto the hooks and hang it outside!
