ny parents are unsure abouten to start toilet teaching ortty training.” Not all kids are

dy at the same age, so it’sortant to watch your child for

ns of readiness, such as stoppingactivity for a few seconds orching his or her diaper.

st children begin to show thesens between 18 and 24 months,

ough some may be ready earlierater than that. And boys often

t later and take longer to learnse the potty than girls.

ead of using age as a readinesscator, look for other signs thatr child may be ready to use the

potty, such as the ability to:

• follow simple instructions

• understand words about thetoileting process

• control the muscles responsiblefor elimination

• express a need to go verbally

• keep a diaper dry for 2 hours ormore

• get to the potty, sit on it, and

then get off the potty• pull down diapers, disposable

training pants, or underpants

• show an interest in using thepotty or wearing underpants

There are some stressful or diffi culttimes when you may want to put offstarting the toilet-teaching process— when traveling, around the birthof a sibling, changing from the cribto the bed, moving to a new house,or when your child is sick (especiallyif diarrhea is a factor). It may bebetter to postpone it until your

child’s environment is stable andsecure. Also, some experts mayrecommend starting the processduring summer because kids wearless clothing, but it is not a goodidea to wait if your child is ready.

Of course, teaching a toddler touse a potty isn’t an overnightexperience. The process oftentakes between 3 and 6 months,although it may take more or lesstime for some children. Although

some little ones can learn to bothmake it through the night withoutwetting or soiling themselves(or the bed) and use the pottyaround the same time, it may takeadditional months to even years tomaster staying dry at night.

The two basic potty options are:

1. a standalone, toddler-size pottychair with a bowl that can beemptied into the toilet

2. a toddler-size seat that can be

placed on top of your toilet seatthat will let your child feel moresecure and not fear falling in

If you opt for the modified toiletseat, consider getting a steppingstool so that your child can reachthe seat comfortably. Stools canalso help kids learn to push withtheir legs when having a bowelmovement.

It’s usually best for boys to firstlearn to use the toilet sitting down

before learning to pee standing up.For boys who feel awkward — orscared — about standing on a stoolto pee in the toilet, a potty chairmay be a better option.

Buy a training potty or seat for everybathroom in your house. You mayeven want to keep a potty in thetrunk of your car for emergencies.When traveling long distances,be sure to take a potty seat withyou and stop every 1 to 2 hours.

Otherwise, it can take mthan your child may havediscreet location or restro

Experts disagree about to use disposable traininSome think that they’re judiapers and might make kit’s OK to use them like

Others feel that training pa helpful step between diaunderwear. Because kids’ nbladder and bowel contlags behind their daytimesome parents like usingpants at night. Others prtheir child use training pathey’re out and about. Otraining pants remain dry days, kids can make the wearing underwear.

Find the Save A Life SLO booth atthe downtown Farmers’ Marketeach month for Hands-Only CPRdemonstrations from 6:00-8:00pm. Take a tour of an ambulance,look inside a re truck and learn

lifesaving skills in under 5 minutes!The Hands-Only CPR booth islocated on the corner of Higueraand Chorro Streets, next to theHabit Burger Grill.

Save a Life SLO promotes life-saving CPR methods to all SLOCounty residents. The new Hands-Only and High-PerformanceCPR methods have been provensuccessful in increasing sudden

cardiac arrest survival rates.

This new method of CPR isresulting in signicant increasesin sudden cardiac arrest survivalrates. Through the support oflocal county health organizations,the educational movement Savea Life SLO was created to bring

awareness of the new Hands-Only CPR method to SLO Countyresidents and provide training togroups and individuals throughoutthe county.

Hands-Only CPR can beremembered by its three simplesteps: call 9-1-1 immediately,begin pushing hard and fast inthe center of the chest withoutgiving breaths, and continue untilhelp arrives. The body maintains

enough oxygen to keep vitalorgans healthy for several minutesif circulated through proper chestcompressions. By calling 9-1-1and beginning Hands-Only CPRimmediately, bystanders cansignicantly increase a person’schance of survival.

Local county health organizationsincluding the SLO County PublicHealth Department’s EmergencyMedical Services Agency (EMSA),Dignity Health/French Hospital

Medical Center and San LuisAmbulance proudly support theHands-Only CPR method alongsidenational organizations like theAmerican Heart Association andAmerican Red Cross.

“The collaboration of theseorganizations has allowed thismovement to expand its reach farbeyond what each organizationcould accomplish on its own. Wecan already see the signicant

impact this movement is havingin our County,” noted KathyCollins, Specialty Care SystemsCoordinator for the SLO CountyEMSA. To date, over 5,000 localresidents have received trainingin Hands-Only CPR through thisoutreach eort.

In addition to the new Hands-Only CPR method, emergencyresponders are also taking anenhanced approach to onsite

Slowing spending. We think about

money differently, depending on

For instance, we’re usually more

To test this in your kids, try varying

You will likely find your children

are slower to spend the $5 bill.

“It seems to be perceived as having

more value,” says Dhananjay

Nayakankuppam, a marketing

professor at the University ofIowa. “The subjective pain of

parting with the $5 bill is greater

than the subjective pain of parting

with five $1 bills.”

Adults show the same tendency.

In a study that appeared in the

March 2006 Journal of Consumer

Research, Prof. Nayakankuppam

and his co-authors, Arul Mishra

and Himanshu Mishra, found

that people were less inclined to

spend if they had, say, a $50 bill

rather than 10 $5 bills.

strategy used by reader Helane

Becker, a financial analyst who

lives in Millburn, N.J.

When her two kids mention things

they want, Ms. Becker adds the

items to each child’s wish list. A

few days or weeks later, she goes

over the lists with her kids -- and

sees which items they still want

to buy with their own money or

receive as birthday or holiday

gifts.

“When they were little, it

surprised me that, by Friday, they

sometimes couldn’t remember a

specific toy they so desperately

wanted on Tuesday,” Ms. Becker

says.

Keeping the change. Children

seem to have endless desires,

which shouldn’t be a huge shock.

After all, their purchases usually

aren’t costing them anything,

because they are spending their

parents’ money. The trick: Make

your kids feel like they’re spendingtheir own money.

CELEBRATION OF SLOTH

Ah, slothfulness. Lazing aboutdoing nothing useful. Nothinglike it, especially on lazy summerdays. Some good folks publishedan entire dictionary about it in2011. Sloth - A Dictionary for theLazy, is a part of Adams Media’s

The Deadly Dictionaries series.This particular volume defines154 pages worth of lazy-relatedwords, interspersed with sloth-related quotations. Here aresome highlights:

aposiopesis – noun – (1570s) thestate one is in when one stopsspeaking mid-sentence, eitherdue to the inability to finish thethought, or sheer stubbornness.

fainéant – noun – (1610) a lazyperson or slacker. Also anadjective to describe such aperson.

hebetude – noun – (1620s) stateof laziness or indolence.

looby – noun – (1377) anawkward, lazy person or lout.

shilly-shally – verb – (1703) to

vacillate or be indecisive, todawdle or waste time.

somniferous – adjective – (1600)having the ability to causesleepiness.

sponger – noun – (1670s) one whoallows others to provide all his/

her needs, a freeloader.

troglodyte – noun – (1550s)though this term was originallyused to label prehistoric cave-dweller, it is now used pejorativelytoward an uncouth, unmannered,or unmotivated individual.

wastrel – noun – (1847) aninsulting word used to label aperson who is wasteful or lazy.

weltschmerz – noun – (1875)the state of being world-weary,pessimistic or apathetic.

JANUS WORDS

Don’t you love those words thatcan mean exactly the opposite ofwhat they mean? They’ve beencalled many names over the years,though none of those nameshave really stuck: contranyms,antilogies, eniantodromes, and

Janus words. I’m fond of thatfinal one, which refers to the two-faced Roman god of transitions,Janus. My favorite Janus words:

Fast: either something can hold fast, or it can move fast.

Strike: either I can strike the ballor miss the ball and strike out.

Garnish: a garnish can be either

something added, like paone’s dinner plate, or sosubtracted, as in garnishe

Citation: I can receive aof merit for some gooor a traffi c citation for avehicular repute.

Bill: either one receives what one owes, or onepaid in bills when one is o

Host: I can be helpful bya website or hosting a I can cross to the dark host a disease.

Oversight: I can be in cthe oversight of employcan ignore my responsibibe guilty of oversight.

Swipe: I can do what thehonors and swipe my creor I can do what societand swipe something off t

exia is “a brain-based type ofning disability that specificallyairs a person’s ability to read,” as

lained by The National InstituteNeurological Disorders andoke, and those affected “typicallyd at levels significantly lower thanected, despite having normallligence.” Dyslexia mainlycts written language (reading,ing, and spelling), but can affect working with numbers,

is sometimes accompaniedAttention Deficit Hyperactive

order (ADHD).

ny students struggle withding in school, and they may ory not have been diagnosed withexia. These students are oftenht, so they quickly notice theirrtcomings compared to the skillstheir classmates and youngerngs. This can result in eroded-esteem, anxiety, and frustration.gically, these effects go wellond elementary school.

ording to a long-term studyased in April 2011 by the Americancational Association, “A student

o can’t read on grade level by

grade is four times less likely toduate by age 19 than a child whos read proficiently by that time.”y identification with specializedrvention is the best remedyaddress reading, spelling, andning problems.

rning signs of dyslexia andding problems include: slow,ppy and inaccurate reading;fusion between left and right;ing up sounds in words; failureemember or comprehend what

read; poor spelling; diffi cultycessing auditory or visualrmation; limited vocabulary; very

w writing; poor punctuation andtalization, and hard work with

ted achievement.

exia and reading problems areSYMPTOM of one or more weaknitive skills that, when identified

ough an assessment, can explainY an individual is struggling. Canexia and other reading challengesorrected? YES!

While we are biologically wired tospeak language, reading and spellingare not automatic, so our brains

must create new neural-circuitry. In2005, a neurological study publishedby the National Academy of SciencesEarly Edition used 3-D functional MRIto demonstrate that new neuro-pathways could be created in thedyslexic brain (after only 8 weeksof specialized brain training) tocorrect neural circuitry, thus makingreading and learning easier and moreeffi cient.

Treatment should include asequential and structured one-to-one proven program with strongcognitive and clinical researchbehind the intervention. Cognitiveskills remediation is very differentfrom tutoring and what schools canoffer. The framework of the schoolsystem and tutoring is not gearedtoward remediation of processingskills, or dyslexia, because their focusis limited to teaching knowledge andhigher-level concepts.

Many learning disabilities, includingdyslexia, can be permanentlycorrected with specialized brain-

training programs. Children,adolescents and adults, whoselearning had been crippled andlimited, can now experience a greaterpotential with the opportunity toconnect their dreams to the realityof their future.
