cember can be a month ofnderfully fun family times, andme when many go on vacation travel to visit relatives or

nds. Although primarily a timerest and relaxation, this can

o be a stressful season forchildren. It can be doubly

d for children with behavioralblems and diculties with

self-regulation. The holidayseason can include a heightenedlevel of stress for these children,with changes in routine and

additional sensory stimulation athome and in public. This articlewill explore some tactics tomake the month a smooth one,focusing on tips for travel andhelping you to remain grounded.

Preparation is key! Childrenneed to know what is happening,and do better when they haveconsistent routines. Schoolvacations and free time may befun, but may also be stressfulbecause of the change in routines.Sometimes children benet fromlooking at pictures of family

members you visit infrequently.They also appreciate having ageneral schedule ahead of time.Children with developmentalconcerns need to be preparedto make a trip as comfortable aspossible for them, as well as forthe other people traveling.

Initial preparation can beindividualized for your children.It is often helpful to provide atrip countdown chart for a visual

guide; such as a calendar orcountdown rings. It is possibleto create a book with pictures offamily members to let your childknow what they can expect. Ingeneral, anything that eases

their anxiety will be beneaddition, it may be helpfrun the trip, or review theon a map before the actFor many children, themay need to be carriecouple of times, regarwhether or not this is ttime traveling.

Happy Holidays To Alse initial preparations, youready to start the trip.

eping your children regulatedor to boarding a plane

while up in the air is veryportant. Make sure they have

a proper meal. In case there delay, make sure you havecks and games on hand. It isy to stash gum, hard candy, small toys in a side pocket ofr bag.

ically, I do not recommenduse of electronic toys for

dren. However, using and, MP3 player, or hand-held

me system may help keepr children entertained andvide a refuge from chaoticroundings. Have them usedphones to block out thekground noise. Never use-buds as they can causemanent damage to delicatedrums.

ur children might also enjoyall hand dgets to play with.me choices of hand dgetsude any small squeeze ortile ball, a small Play-doh setSilly Putty, or a plastic baggie

d with beans, dried pasta, orn kernels. Using weighted

ms can be benecial and easytake along, such as weightedpads, vests, or neck pads.

vising travel games likeport bingo (asking children to

d dierent people or objectsgo on letter hunts), will helpp everyone happy. Many

vel size toys are available,uding coloring books,

magnetic drawing boards, orEtch-a-Sketch, that tuck neatly ina carry-on bag.

Keeping yourself regulatedthroughout the holidays will helpas well. Children easily read your

level of excitement and anxiety.If you take care of yourself,exercise, and maintain somesemblance of your home routine,your children will notice. They willsee you as a positive role model.One thing that will denitely helpis keeping a consistent bedtime.Pediatricians recommend nomore than one-hour dierencebetween regular bedtimes andspecial vacation bedtimes.

Keeping yourself grounded iscritical during times of highstress and excitment. Be sure toenjoy the present, and not gettoo caught up in plans for thefuture. While it is important toplan ahead, it is also important toappreciate your current activity.Dont miss out on opportunitiesfor family bonding because thereis too much to do for tomorrow.Enjoy every moment with yourfamily and friends, and relax asmuch as possible. Give yourselftime now to prepare your family,pack your backs (keeping themunder the weight limit), and getready for a joyful holiday tripfor everyone.

come to a wild winter of familygramming at the San Luisspo City Library, brought to you

another amazing grant fromHarold J. Miossi Charitablest. Summer Reading Programse become epic here in SLO andwant to keep that high quality

mentum up throughout the year. grant allows us to present ahora of live free programs and

tner with Central Coast Aquariumvila Beach and Charles Paddock

in Atascadero for fabulousards. Starting December 28thrunning through March 29th,

ilies can sign-up at the SLOary Childrens desk for reading

s to list ten nature or scienceted books shared as a family. By

mpleting the log and attending att one library program, familiesbe rewarded with a pass for

er the Zoo or the Aquarium, andp to keep Harold Miossis dream

of a nature loving SLO County alive.

Harold Miossi was born at the

familyowned La Cuesta Ranch inCuesta Canyon in 1922. His love forthe majesty of nature in our countyis still felt by all of us who live herenow. Miossis four grandparentswere part of the Swiss-Italianemigrants who built the dairyindustry here between 1864 and1870. His parents were both bornin San Luis Obispo County: fatherBernard Miossi was born on a ranchnear Pismo Beach, and mother VeraGnesa Miossi was born on a ranch inGreen Valley between Cambria andHarmony. Miossi attended San Luis

Obispo schools through his AA atSan Luis Obispo Jr. College, whichshared a campus with the highschool before becoming CuestaCollege. With academic honors, hereceived his BS from Cal Berkeley in1943 and then returned home to run

the family cattle ranch.

Miossi was an active communityleader and a rm believer thatindividuals shape the world in whichthey live. He worked hard to createand save some of our most belovedopen spaces, such as Montana deOro and the Cuesta Grade, whichwas set to be clearcut and thenwidened to eight lanes. Miossicalled the Cal-Trans plan burying ofCuesta Canyon alive and went frombeing a lone voice to having the earof the San Francisco Chronicle andL.A. Times, which took his campaignstatewide to victory. He was activein the Sierra Club and led the forceto pass a bill protecting the Santa

Lucia Wilderness all the way up toPresident Jimmy Carter, who signedthe bill in 1978. One of my concernsabout moving to the Central Coastin 1978 was PG&Es Diablo CanyonNuclear Power Plant, and Mr. Miossiwas active in opposition to thattoo. He not only questioned thesafety of the nuclear process, butalso the impact of all those powerlines winding their way through thedelicate ecosystems that make upour countys unique beauty.

This winter, that beauty will becelebrated with six AnimalsAlive programs in the SLO LibraryCommunity Room, starting withnationally renowned Zoo to Youpresenting two shows aboutVanished Animals on Saturday,December 28th at 10:30 am and 2:00pm.

ry day of our lives, we makeumptions. We assume that the

ople we encounter regularlybehave in the manner to

ch we are accustomed. Weume that if we take careour cars, they will get us toere we want to go. In fact,

need to make assumptionsbring order to our world. Butome parts of our life, such as

esting, assumptions can provegerous. Of course, not allestment-related assumptionsbad. But here are a few that,

the least, may prove to benter-productive:

Real estate will alwaysrease in value. Up until the8 nancial crisis, which wassed, at least partially, by the

ousing bubble, most peopleuld probably have said that

estate is always a goodestment. But since then, weremore painfully aware that

using prices can rise and fall.t isnt to say that real estatelways a bad investment. As atively small part of a diversiedtfolio, it can be appropriate,

pending on your goals andtolerance. But dont expect

less gains, with no setbacks.

Gold will always glitter.

ing periods of marketatility, investors often ee tod, thereby driving its price

But gold prices will uctuate,metimes greatly, and there are

s in all types of gold ownership,ether youre investing in actuals of gold or gold futuresthe stocks of goldmining

mpanies.

I can avoid all risks byking with CDs. Its true that

Certicates of Deposit (CDs)oer a degree of preservationof principal. But theyre not risk-free; their rates of return may beso low that they dont even keepup with ination, which meansyou could incur purchasing-powerrisk. Again, having CDs in yourportfolio is not a bad thing, butyoull only want to own thoseamounts that are suitable for your

objectives.

The price of my investment hasgone up I must have made theright decision. This assumptioncould also be made in reverse.That is, you might think that, sincethe price of your investment hasdropped, you must have madethe wrong choice. This type ofthinking causes investors to holdon to some investments toolong, in the hopes of recapturing

early gains, or selling promisinginvestments too soon, just tocut their losses. Dont judgeinvestments based on short-term performance; instead, lookat fundamentals and long-termpotential.

If I need long-term care,Medicare will cover it. You maynever need any type of long-termcare, but if you do, be preparedfor some big expenses. The

national average per year for aprivate room in a nursing homeis nearly $84,000, according toa recent survey by Genworth, anancial security company. Thiscost, repeated over a period ofyears, could prove catastrophic toyour nancial security during yourretirement. And, contrary to manypeoples assumptions, Medicaremay only pay a small percentageof long-term care costs. You canhelp yourself by consulting with

a nancial professional, whocan provide you with strategiesdesigned to help cope with long-term care costs.

You cant avoid all assumptionswhen youre investing. But bystaying away from questionable

ones, you may avoidtripped up on the roadyour nancial goals.

ny parents nd that swaddlingprovide comfort for fussy

ies, reduce crying, and develop

re settled sleep patterns. Whenbies are swaddled, care shouldtaken to swaddle properly sobaby is safe and healthy.

proper swaddling may lead todysplasia or developmental

plasia of the hip. When inwomb the babys legs are

a fetal position with the legst up and across each other.den straightening of the legs

a standing position can loosen

joints and damage the softtilage of the socket.

re are many ways to swaddlebies by using blankets ormmercial products designed foraddling. In order for swaddlingllow healthy hip development,legs should be able to bend up out at the hips. This positionws for natural development ofhip joints.

babys legs should not behtly wrapped straight down

pressed together. Swaddlingnts with the hips and kneesan extended position may

rease the risk of hip dysplasia dislocation.

e is one of the safe methodsbaby swaddling:

If using a square cloth, foldback one corner creating astraight edge.

2. Place the baby on the clothso that the top of the fabricis at shoulder level. If using arectangular cloth, the babysshoulders will be placed at thetop of the long side.

3. Bring the left arm down. Wrapthe cloth over the arm andchest. Tuck under the rightside of the baby.

4. Bring the right arm down andwrap the cloth over the babysarm and chest.

5. Tuck the cloth under the leftside of the baby. The weightof the baby will hold the cloth

rmly in place.6. Twist or fold the bottom end

of the cloth and tuck behindthe baby, ensuring that bothlegs are bent up and out.

It is important to leave room forthe hips to move.

What about sleepsacks andcommercial products?

Some parents choose to wrap theirbabies in sleepsacks specicallydesigned for swaddling, insteadof using a simple cloth orblanket. Commercial products forswaddling should have a loosepouch or sack for the babys legsand feet, allowing plenty of hipmovement. However, even someof these commercial productscan conne the legs if they aretightened around the thighs.

Its especially important to allowthe hips to spread apart and

bend up. In the womb the legsare in a fetal position with thelegs bent up across each other.Sudden straightening of the legsto a standing position can loosenthe joints and damage the softcartilage of the socket.

Final Thoughts

When put down to sleep, aswaddled baby should be placedon his or her back, face up.

If the baby can roll onto his or

her stomach, this may the risk of suocation. Spediatricians advice if swan older or more active b

ter is here, and once againhave a great excuse to feeld and do nice things for ourilies and strangers alike. You

say hello to everyone and givesents to the special people inr life. The stores are loadedh Christmas and Hanukkahorations and gift ideas forse we love, honor, and arenkful for. The stores are alsong us ideas for special dinnerst we can make for the winterdays. Every year, my wife and

o shopping for these dinners.she loads up the grocery carth great meal ingredients and

ms Jingle Bells, I think about

w much all of this costs andgine the great leftovers in my

ure.

le I was thinking about thedays recently, I decided to ndif any of my old newspapersgrocery store ads. I found

me papers from 1932, 1936,a few from the 1960s and

0s. I saw lots of food ads andscovered something veryl. We used to have a Pigglygly grocery store in San Luisspo. Piggly Wiggly was a chain

of stores that were numerous inthe southern states, but therewere not many on the WestCoast. The store had an icon that

was a big pig. Our Piggly Wigglywas at 727 Marsh Street, which isnear the location of the currentCVS Drug Store.

I was thinking about all thoseholiday foods we will be buying,and I found out what my grandmawas spending for food duringthe holiday season. In 1936, ourPiggly Wiggly was selling a poundof butter for 19 cents. They didntsell milk by the plastic gallonjug, but in cans. You could buy 5

cans of milk for 21 cents and getout your can opener at home. Iguess you could have bottles offresh milk delivered to your homefrom the creamery on Higuera orNipomo Streets, but sometimesyou need a can of milk. You couldalso pick up a pound of Americasfavorite food for 19 cents a pound:bacon. Now, those are the kind ofprices I would love to pay. WhenI jump to December of 1975, I seethat people were paying $1.40for milk, and a loaf of bread cost28 cents. The cost of sending a

Christmas card was 13 cents. Tenyears later in 1985, milk was $2.26per gallon, bacon was $1.65 apound, and a stamp was 22 centsat our local grocery stores. If youwere loaded with cash in 1945,you could buy your sweetie a newcar for a little over $1000, or a newhome for around $5,000.

One of my favorite things aboutthe holidays is that I get to buythings for my grandkids. I cantwait to check out the Toys R Uswinter catalog that mysteriouslyshows up in my mailbox everyyear. I seriously wonder how I geton the mailing list for some of thegift catalogs I get in the mail.

My wife has already set upmy Amazon.com wish list andreminded me how to add things

and how to check out other familymembers lists. My grandsonElliott has a list of 41 items. Theother night, I noticed that some ofthe items on his list were the sametoys I wrote on the list that I sentto Santa Claus in the North Pole asa child. One of my favorite toys,that inspired hours of play, wasa Mr. Potato Head. Mr. PotatoHead was invented back in 1952and is still going strong today. Ithink the Disney Toy Story movies

introduced this toy to a newgeneration of children. Overthe years, I must have receivedor bought Mr. Potato Head onmany occasions. The original costwas 98 cents and you could havegone down to Sears on HigueraStreet to buy this toy. Actually,this rst version included only thebody parts to adorn your own realpotato. In 1965, you could go toJ. C. Pennys on Higuera and buyMr. Potato Head (with a plasticpotato) for $2.00.

When I was recently lobuy my granddaughter Snew bike, I went down tand found bikes that cos$100. Way back in 1932have bought a bike wgrips and a cool paint job Now, these old bikes arefortune if they are in
