Try these activities to keep kids cool on a hot summer day. Water Jump: Hold a garden hose about one foot off the ground and have children line up and try to jump over the stream of water, one at a time, without getting wet. Repeat, each time raising the stream of water. Water Limbo: Hold a garden hose at the children’s shoulder level and have the line of children try to go under the stream of water limbo style without getting wet. Repeat, each time lowering the water. Water Waves: Hold a garden hose waist high and slowly move it up and down. Have the children line up and run through the wiggling water stream one at a time trying not to get wet. Water Wiggle: Put a garden hose on the ground and move it back and forth to make the water “wiggle”. Encourage children to try and run through the wiggling water without getting their feet wet.

Before taking them out, it is important to remember to make sure the play area is clean and free from hazards. A clean, gently used comforter or blanket makes a great place for non-mobile infants to lie while others play. Besides gross motor play, there are a variety of things to do outside. Even the youngest can experience water or sand. By having a shallow pan of water and the infant sitting with the caregiver, she can feel the water on her hands or feet or the caregiver can gently release sand onto the hands or feet. Let toddlers paint with water using big paintbrushes or sponges. Another option for outdoors is taking entire centers outside. What would your children be able to do if you took all the blocks and cars out? What about dramatic play? Reading can be done under a shady tree. And of course art is great outside because you can get really messy. When it comes to your outdoor experience, try thinking outside the box and see what different ideas you can come up with to make the outdoor experience a great one.

Does the child’s illness keep him/her from comfortably taking part in activities? 2. Does the sick child need more care than the staff can give without affecting the health and safety of other children? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then the child should not go to child care or school. If he/she is sent to child care or school, then the caregiver or teacher may not let the child stay. A 3rd question to ask is: Could other children get sick from being near your child? Most common illnesses, like a cold, are not really harmful. Other children can catch illnesses before, during, or after your child is sick. Making a sick child stay home may not really prevent other children from getting sick. Keep in Mind: The family should ask questions 1 and 2 above and make a decision based on what they see at the time. Keep in mind that uncertain tummy aches could be the beginning of vomiting and diarrhea (for which a child should not attend school). Tummy aches can also mean that a child is nervous about school. (If a child is nervous about school, experts suggest that the child go to school and the family talk to a doctor or teacher about what is making the child nervous.) Caregivers and teachers should also ask questions 1 and 2. A common cold is not a reason for exclusion if neither of the first two things on the list is met. The infection can be spread to others but is not a harmful illness. In fact, it probably helps a child to be exposed to cold germs because it makes their immune system stronger. Deciding if a child who is only mildly sick should go to child care or school can be hard. In some cases the parent may have very little time to watch the child before he or she has to arrive at school or child care. Parents usually make good decisions but it can be complicated. For example, parents may lose pay from their jobs if they have to stay home for a sick child. Other parents may have a hard time getting a promotion if they have a child who is sick a lot. In addition, the child’s illness can change during the day. Parents make decisions, but the child care and school personnel also have a say in the matter about whether a child sent to child care or school is allowed to stay there through the day. 4 Page 5 Connections for Caregivers www.ccrctulsa.org QEI Summer News Summer is a wonderful time to explore and try new things. This is true for children as well as adults, so what better time than summer to try new things on your playground? Just because the temperatures are soaring in much of the country doesn’t mean that outdoor play should be avoided, especially during the cooler morning hours. Here are just a few ideas to spark your imagination: Take a bed sheet outside and create a fort- and it provides shade at the same time. Bring the marble maze outside and set up a waterfall. Messy Art? No problem. Take it outside! Fill the sensory table with bubbles and use string shapes to create HUGE bubbles. (Recipe below) Make mud clay and let it dry in the heat of the sun… best part is that they can paint it outside too! With all of the new experiences you will be providing, the children will want to be outside every day. So make sure that shade, water and sunscreen are part of your outside summer routine. By taking a few precautions, children can enjoy the exciting adventures that you provide all through the hot days of summer.

Popsicles are a great place to start. Does fruit juice freeze as fast as a yogurt smoothie in a Popsicle mold? How does lemonade taste as a Popsicle vs. orange juice? What happens if you mix 5 kool-aid flavors together? Many fruits turn into fun frozen snacks all by themselves. Try putting grapes or bananas in the freezer for a refreshing healthy treat the kids will love! Frozen grape pops are a favorite of ours! http://itsawahmthing.com/cooking/quick-snack-ideas-the-kids-can-makethemselves/ Trainings in July 2014 JULY 8 – TUESDAY – MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION (Presented by CCRC; Joyce Reynolds, RN, BSN) Learn how to properly administer medication in the childcare setting.

Repítelo, aumentando la altura por usando la corriente de agua. Agua Limbo: Sujete una manguera de jardín a la altura de los hombros de los niños y forman una línea. Pidan que ellos traten de pasar por debajo de la corriente del agua en el estilo limbo sin mojarse. Repítelo, cada vez bajando el agua.

Antes de sacarlos es importante recordar para asegurarse de que el área de juego está limpia y libre de peligros. Un edredón o manta con poco uso y limpio es un gran lugar para un bebé no móvil para sentarse cuando los otros compañeros juegan. Además de los juegos que promovieron habilidades motores gruesos hay una variedad de cosas que hacer fuera. Incluso a los más pequeños pueden experimentar el agua o la arena. Tome a una bandeja con poca altura de agua y el bebé sentado con el cuidador puede sentir el agua en sus manos o en los pies o el cuidador puede liberar suavemente la arena en las manos o los pies. Deje que los niños pintan con agua usando grandes brochas o esponjas. Otra opción para el aire libre está tomando los centros de actividades enteros al fuera. ¿Cuáles serían sus hijos ser capaz de hacer si se toma todos los bloques y coches a cabo? ¿Qué pasa con el juego dramático? La lectura puede hacerse bajo sombra de un árbol. Y, por supuesto, el arte es estupendo al fuera porque se puede volver muy sucia. Cuando se trata de su experiencia al aire libre trate de pensar fuera de la caja y ver qué ideas diferentes que puede llegar a hacer que la experiencia al aire-libre lo perfecto.

Si la respuesta a cualquiera de estas preguntas es Sí, entonces el niño no debe ir a la guardería o escuela. Si él/ella se envía a la guardería o escuela, entonces el cuidador o maestro puede no dejar al niño. Una tercera pregunta es: ¿Podrían otros niños se enferman por estar cerca de su hijo? La mayoría de las enfermedades comunes, como un resfriado, no son realmente perjudiciales. Otros niños pueden coger enfermedades, antes, durante, o después de que su hijo está enfermo. Realizar una estancia de niños enfermos en casa en realidad no puede evitar que otros niños se enfermen. Tener en Mente: La familia debe hacer preguntas 1 y 2 anteriores, y tomar una decisión sobre la base de lo que ven en el momento. Tenga presente que los dolores de estómago inciertos podrían ser el comienzo de los vómitos y la diarrea (por la que un niño no debe asistir a la escuela). Dolores de estómago también puede significar que un niño está nervioso acerca de la escuela. (Si un niño está nervioso acerca de la escuela, los expertos sugieren que el niño vaya a la escuela y de la familia a hablar con un médico o un maestro sobre lo que está haciendo que el niño nervioso.) Los cuidadores y los profesores también deben preguntar a las preguntas 1 y 2. Un resfriado común no es motivo de exclusión, si ninguna de las dos primeras cosas en la lista se cumple. La infección puede transmitirse a otras personas, pero no es una enfermedad dañina. De hecho, es probable que ayude al niño a ser expuesta a los gérmenes fríos, ya que hace que su sistema inmune más fuerte. Decidir si un niño que es sólo ligeramente enfermo debe ir a la guardería o la escuela puede ser difícil. En algunos casos, el padre puede tener muy poco tiempo para observar al niño antes de que él o ella tengan que llegar a la escuela o guardería. Los padres suelen hacer buenas decisiones, pero puede ser complicado. Por ejemplo, los padres pueden perder la paga de sus puestos de trabajo si tienen que quedarse en casa para un niño enfermo. Otros padres pueden tener dificultades para conseguir un ascenso si tienen un niño que está enfermo mucho. Además, la enfermedad del niño puede cambiar durante el día. Los padres de tomar decisiones, pero el personal de cuidado de niños y de la escuela también tienen algo que decir en el asunto sobre si se permite a un niño enviado a la guardería o/a la escuela para permanecer allí durante el día. 20 Page 21 Connections for Caregivers www.ccrctulsa.org QEI Noticias del Verano El verano es un momento maravilloso para explorar y probar cosas nuevas. Esto es cierto para los niños como a los adultos, ¿qué mejor momento que verano a probar cosas nuevas en su patio? Sólo porque las temperaturas están aumentando en gran parte del país no significa que se deben evitar juegos al aire libre, especialmente durante las horas más frescas de la mañana. Aquí son sólo algunas ideas para despertar su imaginación: Tomar una sábana afuera y crear un fuerte - y proporciona sombra al mismo tiempo. Traer el laberinto mármol exterior y establecer una cascada ¿Arte sucio? No hay problema. ¡Ir afuera! La mesa sensorial se llenan de burbujas y utilizar formas de cadena para crear enormes burbujas. (Receta a continuación) Hacer la arcilla de barro y deje que se seque en el calor del sol... ¡lo mejor es que puede pintar fuera demasiado! Con todas las nuevas experiencias proporcionará que los niños querrán salir todos los días, así que asegúrese de que la sombra, agua y protector solar son parte de su rutina de verano exterior.
