In the Library
It has been a busy quarter in our Toy library here at CCRC. We’ve
added new toys from many different sources.
Pop over and visit on the third Thursday until
8pm to see our new props boxes and toys. You
can see our selection online if that is your
preference (www.ccrctulsa.org). We have a
Sweet Shoppe box and a Pizza Restaurant prop
box. These are great for dramatic play and the
kids really enjoy the variety the props offer.

Ask the Nurse - Poison Ivy
The blistering rash of poison ivy is caused by the skin developing an allergic reaction to the oil in the
leaves of poison ivy plant. The rash typically occurs within a few hours to days after having contact
with the plant, depending on how sensitive you are.
The poison ivy plant has a characteristic three leaflets with notched edges. It can grow as a shrub
or vine in the grass or on trees and it is found throughout the United States. Once the oil from one
of these plants comes into contact with the skin, it does not spread and you can not catch poison ivy
by touching someone's rash. It is possible for it to spread if the oil remains under your child's nail or
on his clothes. You can also have a reaction to the oil of poison ivy if your pet had contact with the
leaves and its fur is contaminated.
The rash usually begins as red bumps and blisters that are very itchy and can last for up to one to
three weeks. While the best approach to treatment is educating your children to avoid these plants,
if your child does have a reaction there are some steps you can take to make him more
comfortable, including:


Quickly wash any areas of your skin that
have come into contact with poison ivy.
You have about ten minutes to remove
the oil before a reaction will develop.
Also wash any clothing that has come
into contact with the plants to prevent
spreading the oil and scrub under your
child's fingernails.
For mild reactions, you can use
calamine lotion, hydrocortisone cream,
an oral antihistamine, oatmeal baths and
cool soaks.

Poison Ivy (Continued)


More severe reactions will require evaluation by your doctor, who can prescribe an
oral steroid or a stronger topical steroid cream. Oral steroids will need to be taken
and slowly tapered over two weeks to prevent recurrence of the reaction.
Carefully remove poison ivy plants when they are found. Avoid burning them, as
the smoke can cause a very severe reaction to anyone who is exposed to it.
By Joyce Reynolds RN, BSN
A World to Explore
Infants and toddlers learn by doing. They are sensory-motor beings. It is
important that they have an environment that supports this concept. Infants
and toddlers need space to explore where they can use both large and small
muscles. They need sensory experiences and cognitive experiences.
Infants and toddlers need to hear language and have social interactions. We
must get to know individual children through observation so that we can plan
activities accordingly. Infants and toddlers with freedom of movement do not
need to be taught how to sit, stand, or walk. They will learn these things by
themselves when ready. Magda Gerber once said, “Every baby moves with
more ease and efficiency if allowed to do it at his own time and in his own
way, without our trying to teach him. A child who has always been allowed to
move freely develops not only an agile body but also good judgment about
what he can and cannot do.”

Pedir a la enfermera: la hiedra venenosa:
La erupción de ampollas de hiedra venenosa es causada por la piel
desarrollar una reacción alérgica al aceite en las hojas de hiedra
venenosa. La erupción se produce normalmente dentro de unas pocas
horas o días después de tener contacto con la planta, dependiendo de
lo sensible que eres.
La planta de hiedra venenosa tiene una característica de tres hojas con
los bordes con muescas. Puede crecer como un arbusto o enredadera
en la hierba o en los árboles y se encuentra en los Estados Unidos.
Una vez que el aceite de una de estas plantas entra en contacto con la piel, que no se propague y
no se puede coger la hiedra venenosa al tocar la erupción de alguien. Es posible que se extienda si
el aceite se mantiene bajo las uñas de su hijo o en su ropa. También puede tener una reacción al
aceite de la hiedra venenosa si su mascota ha tenido contacto con las hojas y su pelaje está
contaminado.
La erupción generalmente comienza como pápulas rojas y ampollas que son muy picor y pueden
durar desde una a tres semanas. Mientras que el mejor enfoque para el tratamiento es educar a
sus hijos para evitar estas plantas, si su hijo tiene una reacción, hay algunos pasos que puede
tomar para hacerlo más confortable, incluyendo:

lavar rápidamente cualquier área de la piel que ha estado en contacto con la hiedra venenosa.
Tiene unos diez minutos para eliminar el aceite antes desarrollará una reacción. También lave
toda la ropa que haya estado en contacto con las plantas para evitar la propagación del petróleo
y matorrales debajo de las uñas de su hijo.

Para las reacciones moderadas, puede usar una loción de calamina, crema de hidrocortisona,
un antihistamínico oral, baños de avena y compresas frías.

Las reacciones más graves requerirán la evaluación de su médico, quien puede prescribir un
esteroide oral o una crema con esteroides tópicos más fuertes. Los esteroides orales
necesitarán ser tomadas y disminuyan lentamente durante dos semanas para evitar la
recurrencia de la reacción.

Retirar con cuidado las plantas de hiedra venenosa cuando se encuentran. Evitar de
quemarse ellos, ya que el humo puede causar una reacción muy grave a cualquiera que
esté expuesto a ella.

Un mundo para explorar:
Bebés y niños pequeños aprenden haciendo. Son seres sensorio-motor. Es importante que tengan
un ambiente que apoya este concepto. Los bebés y los niños pequeños necesitan espacio para
explorar, donde pueden usar sus músculos grandes y pequeños. Necesitan experiencias
sensoriales y experiencias cognitivas. Bebés y niños pequeños necesitan
escuchar el lenguaje y tener interacciones sociales. Debemos conocer a los
niños individuales a través de la observación para que podamos planificar
actividades en consecuencia. Los bebés y niños pequeños con libertad de
movimiento no necesitan que se les enseñe cómo sentarse, pararse o caminar.
Ellos van a aprender estas cosas por sí mismos cuando esté listo. Magda
Gerber dijo una vez, "Cada bebé se mueve con más facilidad y eficiencia si se le
permite hacerlo en su propio tiempo y en su propia manera, sin nuestro tratando
de enseñarle. Un niño que siempre se le ha permitido moverse libremente
desarrolla no sólo un cuerpo ágil, sino también el buen juicio acerca de lo que
puede y no puede hacer”.
