Getting Kids to Brush
You can prevent dental disease!
We know………
Kids and adults need to brush 2 times a day.
We know when…….
After breakfast and before bed
HOW do we get the kids to brush???
*Brush your teeth at the same time.
*Make brushing part of the daily routine.
*Use a little bit of a Fluoride toothpaste they like.
*Use a soft toothbrush.
*Offer choices:
- Do you want to start on the top or bottom teeth?
- Who goes first- you or me?
*Make it fun- a time to look forward to
- Race to the bathroom!
- Hunt for leftover dinner in the teeth!
- Count the teeth!
- Make faces!
 Sing the brushing song from school or make up your new song
 End with hugs and tickles

If You Suffer Form Hay Fever!!!
You can help prevent symptoms:
* Clean your house- a good house cleaning job can help decrease the
amount of pollen, mold spores, dust and animal dander that cause Hay Fever.
* Decrease your exposure- Try to avoid out door activity when the pollen
count is the highest. (5a.m. – 10:00 a.m.)
* Close your windows - Keep your home and car windows closed when the
pollen count is the highest. Use air conditioning with the vent pointed away
from your face.
* Do your laundry- Wash your bedding weekly. Shower before going to bed
to remove any pollen that ahs collected in your hair or on your skin.
* Use medications wisely- Take any allergy medication at least 30 minutes
before you go outside.
* Control your pets- Keep your pets off the furniture and out of your bedroom because pollen can collect in your pets’ hair.
** If your allergies are still a problem, call your medical provider for advice.

When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking
When you thought I wasn't looking
You hung my first painting on the refrigerator
And I wanted to paint another.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You fed a stray cat
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You baked a birthday cake just for me
And I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You kissed me good-night
And I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking
I saw tears come from your eyes
And I learned that sometimes things hurt -But that it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You smiled
And it made me want to look that pretty too.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You cared
And I wanted to be everything I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking -I looked ...
And wanted to say thanks
For all those things you did
When you thought I wasn't looking.
