I recently attended a board meeting for Parenting Media Association in San Diego, CA. The meeting was extremely interesting and enlightening. Parenting Media Association (PMA) is an organization that serves over 120 local parenting publications throughout the United States. It is amazing how quickly the world of media is changing. We spent a great deal of the meeting discussing how we need to keep up with this constantly changing business we are in.

When we first started publishing Cincinnati Parent Magazine in the 80’s, we would cut and paste the magazine on layout boards. Today, everything is done electronically. Also, we have added so many facets and layers to our media business. We have a Web site that offers resources, directories, daily blogs, articles and up-to-date information. We have close to 3,000 engaged Facebook fans that we can reach out to “live” at any moment.

We are working on establishing phone apps, tablet apps, videos and much more. The important theme of the meeting was keeping our member publications on track to stay competitive and current in this time when parents are looking for multiple platforms for receiving information on parenting.

Of course, we had some fun along the way while in San Diego. We had a chance to visit the San Diego Zoo…one of the top zoos in the country. It is huge! There were moving sidewalks to help visitors traverse the zoo quickly. My favorite spot of the day was the orangutan jungle. They were human like and came up to the window with orange peels, placing their hand up against my hand. It was amazing!

We also had a fabulous lunch in the harbor next to the USS Midway Museum where the famous homecoming “Kiss” statue is displayed. San Diego is the base of the US Navy Department so the feel of the military is everywhere. My nephew is currently based in a marine camp in San Diego. It gave me a great appreciation for the marines and navy and all they do to keep our country safe.

Our hotel was based in La Jolla – a gorgeous nearby town with shimmering ocean views and spectacular restaurants and shops. I walked along the beaches and there were sea lions and seals everywhere along with surfers and kayakers.

I also spent an afternoon at the beautiful pool overlooking the ocean. As I relaxed and took in the scenery, I noticed a father playing in the pool with his children. They were all so happy in the moment. He was throwing them up in the air, chasing them around and having a great time. Witnessing pure joy like this was a wonderful reminder that in this fast-paced, technology-laden society we live in today, it is more important than ever to take time to truly live in the moment and create memories with our children that will last a lifetime.

This summer, whether you are taking a trip with the family to a new and exciting location or simply rediscovering all that Cincinnati has to offer, I hope you are able find time to carve out some wonderful memories. And to the fathers, I wish you many moments of pure joy on your special day. Happy Father’s Day Cincinnati Parent Readers!

Mary susan Buhner [email protected]

Before I had kids, fitness was a passion for me. Actually, it was a passion even after my first daughter was born. I ran around 15 miles a week and enjoyed biking and walking as well. All of these activities could be accomplished, of course, with my precious first child in tow. Emphasis on “could.” Some days it took an hour just to slather sunscreen on her, get her sippy cup and snacks, and strap her securely in the baby jogger. An hour of prep time for a 20-minute run.

After my second daughter was born, I was surprised to find that my passion for exercise had decreased a bit. “What happened to my ability to push myself,” I wondered? I used to be different. I used to get excited about getting outside in the fresh air and burning off some steam, or at least excited about putting on my matching workout outfit (even if it was still from the maternity section).

I quickly came to realize that having two kids to prep for “exercise time” was now double the work. I felt like I was packing for a weeklong camping trip when I left my house. Books for my oldest to look at, her toddler juice box, and a snack. For my youngest, a binky (a.k.a. pacifier), cheerios for a snack, bottle, diaper and wipes and her favorite toy. (A little side note: the day

you leave your house pushing your kiddos in a jogger WITHOUT a diaper and wipes, is the day someone will have the mother of all blowouts. Take it from my experience!) Finally...I was ready to roll. Triumphant in my dedication, confident in my commitment to having a good run, I started out. This is a cautionary tale. Here is what I learned: Right off the bat, I realized one important thing in my workout equation. That is, pushing a jogger with two kids as passengers is A LOT more work than pushing one! Yikes, my pace was slower, my hands were cramping from gripping the stroller so tightly! This was harder work than before!

Another fitness factor? Being the official “referee” for your kiddos is a cardio sport in itself. Two kids, one stroller equals fighting. It is tight quarters under that little hood. It may protect them from the sun, but it does not protect them from each other! They fight over snacks, who is breathing the other’s air, and when we should turn around. There was a time and place when running was invigorating and even empowering for me. Now it was a nightmare. I really needed to concentrate to huff and puff, and that clearly was not going to happen. I was pulling over to pick up tossed sippy cups, tripping over a beloved blanket stuck in the wheels, or breaking up a sibling altercation, all the while threatening my kids to sit still for

another 10 minutes. I used to love doing this and now I found myself dreading it. What happened? I realized that something that was necessary and fun for me had now become a chore.

What did I learn? Well, I learned that the state of motherhood was constantly changing. It is a process. My determination to shove a square peg into a round hole was not fun for anybody. My revelation? Instead of changing my expectation, I changed the way I went about it.

Now a mother of three, I know that it is okay to workout without my kids in tow. Carving that time out for myself and allowing myself the permission to enjoy it is vital to my sanity and to being a good mom to my children. In the meantime, I was just exhausting myself instead of recharging myself.

With summer here, fitness and exercise can be fun and really a great way to recharge by being outside. The days are longer and you deserve some time to reboot! As we moms all know, motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint! Therefore, taking time along the path of motherhood for a walk, a run, a workout class (without kiddos in tow) only makes us stronger, more prepared and better in the long run! Happy Summer!

Keeping Your Kids Safe This SummerSafety Precautions Could

Save Your Child

Your phone rings.

it’s the local hospital calling and there’s been an accident with your

child. The injuries have the potential to be life threatening.

Written by Katrina robke holtmeier

Thoughts race through your head: What happened? Was anyone else hurt? If only I had taught my child more about being careful when riding a bicycle, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.

You rush to the hospital to comfort your child. Luckily, everything is going be fine.

As a parent, this scenario is one of your worst nightmares. However, with a little preparation, many accidents can be avoided.

Wendy Pomerantz, Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), said safety is very important because injury


is the number one cause of death among children. Among the many things she does at CCHMC, Pomerantz spends about 20 hours per week treating patients in the emergency department. She said she sees many injuries each and every day.

“Almost all injuries are preventable,” she said. “That’s what makes safety so important.” During the summer months, Pomerantz said she sees a plethora of

injuries including, but not limited to, those incurred through bicycle wrecks (particularly involving children not wearing helmets), swimming incidents, sports, and severe sunburns.

So what can you do to prevent injury to your child? Pomerantz said it is simple: Supervise and take precautions. “Supervision is one of the most important ways to prevent injuries,” she said. “Make sure kids always wear proper protective equipment and sunscreen. Choose age-appropriate activities and don’t swim alone.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than nine million children ages 0 through 19 are seen in emergency departments for injuries, while more than 9,000 die as a result of being injured. Injury treatment is the leading cause of medical spending for American children. The estimated annual cost of unintentional child injuries in the United States is nearly $11.5 billion. The CDC is working hard to reduce this amount. When injuries decrease, the cost of treatment does as well.

In an effort to raise awareness about the leading causes of child injury and how they can be prevented, the CDC has launched the Protect the Ones You Love initiative. Protect the Ones You Love offers step-by-step guidelines on preventing leading causes of child injury, such as burns, drownings, falls and sports injuries. By researching this program at http://www.cdc.gov/safechild/, parents can play a life-saving role in protecting children from injuries.

One parent who is taking a proactive role in the safety of her two children is Lee Ann Mueller of South Lebanon. She said the safety of her children, Jacob, 6, and Nathan, 2, is one of the most important things in her life. Parents and guardians should be careful and use common sense when it comes to implementing safety techniques, she said, because doctors and researchers know so much more about the long-lasting effects of certain childhood injuries.

“You can’t be lax about it and say, ‘Well, we didn’t have all these safety measures as kids and we turned out fine,’” she said. “Now that we know more about what can keep our kids safe, it is our job as parents to employ these measures.”

This even applies to summer vacation, which Mueller said she and her family will be taking in the next few months. She said she will be using the same safety techniques at the beach as she would at home. This includes constant supervision while swimming at the pool or beach, frequent application of sunscreen, and taking time out of the sun.

Every parent dreads seeing their child in pain. Taking the time to research the leading causes of injury and and implementing safety measures to help protect against those injuries will go a long way in keeping your family happy and healthy all year long.

Father’s Day Fun in CincyIdeas for spending time with Dad



here are a million reasons why NFL safety Chris Crocker was chosen as the feature for this month’s Cincinnati Parent.

However, he confessed, “I don’t know why I was chosen for this. I’m so grateful, though.”

Indeed he is a great fit for Cincinnati Parent’s June 2012 issue. For starters, Chris has been an active part of the Cincinnati community, volunteering much of his time and resources to the local non-profit

VISIONS. Additionally, Chris is a family man, who loves nothing more than spending time with his wife, Karrie, and seven-month-old daughter, Cydney Grace. In fact, this month marks Chris’ first official Father’s Day, so it seemed like an especially perfect time to talk to him about his new role as Dad.

When talking to Chris and Karrie, one thing that was absolutely clear was how much Chris loves being a dad. Cydney was born last September, and every day since then has been an “amazing blessing,” he said. “It’s the every day—seeing her do different things, like sit up, roll over, grab the remote. There’s something new every day—I love being a dad.”

Chris’s love for Cydney has translated into an even deeper, more profound love for his wife. “She’s a product of me and her mom – we created her.

ChrIs CROCKER:“It’s the every day—seeing her do

different things, like sit up, roll over, grab the remote. There’s something new every day—I love being a dad.”

Written by sarah McCosham


Loving her has taught me what selfless love is.” Chris explained that watching Karrie with Cydney is so beautiful and natural, “She’s so great with Cydney – it’s given me a whole other level of respect for her.”

The feeling seems to be mutual, as Karrie describes Chris as “a natural” who’s “not afraid to get down and dirty” when it comes to helping out. “Chris loves fatherhood – I can see it in his eyes. He completely lights up when he sees her.”

“She’s definitely a Daddy’s girl,” Chris agreed. “I can’t walk into the room when she’s feeding, because then she is completely focused on me.”

Admittedly, Chris’ football career can make it difficult to spend quality time with his family, as he is often traveling during the season. However, Karrie says because they’ve been together since day one, having a baby hasn’t been a big challenge. “I knew what to expect,” Karrie said of Chris’ NFL schedule. One of the perks of his job, though, is the off-season. “When he’s home, Chris is “extremely involved” with taking care of Cydney. “He’s willing to help with anything: feeding, playing, dirty diapers … he’s all hands on deck.”

In addition to being a hands-on Dad, Chris has also been very involved with community service, namely VISIONS Community Services, a nonprofit geared at helping single and teen mothers through education. “VISIONS is about trying to

help young ladies continue on the right path, even if they’ve had a bump in the road,” he explained.

Chris’ interest in VISIONS is primarily the result of growing up in a single-mother household. “I wanted to get involved in something I could relate to,” Chris said. What’s more, as a new father, Chris added he is even more aware of how important it is to help young mothers.

Looking ahead, Chris hopes to expose Cydney to a wide range of sports, and encourage her to play any sport, not necessarily the football he is known for. Chris admitted that he’s actually a huge fan of the other “football” – soccer! “I’d love to coach her candy league team,” he said. He added that since he and Karrie are both very athletic, Cydney has a good shot at being a skilled athlete!

In addition to being a secret soccer fan, Karrie also admits Chris is quite the grill master. His specialty? “Barbecue wings,” she stated. When asked how they plan to celebrate Chris’s first Father’s Day, they said it would probably be “low key,” and most likely involve family, friends, and, of course, the grill!

We thank Chris and Karrie Crocker for taking time from their busy schedule to share their story with our readers. And we wish Chris and all of the fathers out there a Happy Father’s Day!

Enjoying Fatherhood One Milestone at a Time


around town [ cincy on a budget ]

Mandy Gabbard Summer means freedom for kids all over the Tri-State but, unfortunately, it can also mean boredom. Entertaining one or more children for all one hundred plus days of summer can also get very expensive for moms and dads. Fortunately, there are tons of options for family entertainment that don’t involve a mall, television or budget-busting amusement parks. You just have to know where to look!

Get your Grub OnFuel up for your weekend every Friday night in June, July and August from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Lake Isabella in Loveland. Friday Night Grill Outs occur weekly, allowing families to enjoy quality time with each other and meet other families while enjoying summer staples like hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids. Grown-ups can sample more sophisticated fair such as steak and lobster all while enjoying the free music. Guests will pay a small amount for dinner depending on the menu item, ($3.95 to $9.25). Visit www.greatparks.org for more information.

Cool Down and splash aroundNot lucky enough to have a waterpark in the backyard? You’re not alone, but there is relief from the sweltering sun without

paying admission to an overpriced waterpark. Woodland Mound Park on Kellogg Road offers fun and respite from the heat of summer days at Parky’s Wetland Adventure playground. Chow on the yummy treats offered at the snack bar or pack your own picnic lunch and stay all day!

For the Movie LoversWho doesn’t love a good movie? The popcorn, the previews…the prices—oh, the prices! But the summer brings numerous outdoor free family movie nights all over the Tri-State. Deerfield Township, Colerain Township, West Chester and Taylor Mill all offer free family-friendly movies outdoors for no admission. Just bring your own chairs and snacks. Families can even get in on all the downtown excitement of Fountain Square. Every Sunday from June 3 through August 26 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, movie-goers will show up to take advantage of the fun of Toyota Movie Night on the Square. For more information on when and where to catch a free movie this summer, visit www.familyfriendlycincinnati.com and search “free movie nights.” Or take a break from the sun with Regal Summer Movie Express at Regal Deerfield Towne Center 16. Enjoy family-friendly movies for just $1,

Tuesdays and Wednesdays June 12 through August 8 at 10:00am.

Calling all history and science BuffsParents looking for a little more educational fun, (or air-conditioned fun), The Cincinnati Museum Center has just what the frugal mom or dad wants.

This year the dates are June 8, July 13, August 10 and September 14. For more details on this and other events at The Cincinnati Museum Center, visit www.cincymuseum.org.

reading rocks!The Hamilton County Public Library’s summer reading program kicks off June 1 and is a fun and free way to encourage reading over the summer.

eoff Cole knows a thing or two about competition. His son, Taylor, 18, plays Varsity

football; his oldest daughter Lindsey, 16, is on a cheerleading squad; and his younger daughter Meghan, 13, plays both lacrosse and select softball. Between these three children, Geoff has seen what a little competition can do for kids – and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

My kids are constantly “striving to do their best,” says Geoff. “They set personal goals for themselves and follow through.” He adds that sports have helped his kids understand the importance of setting – and achieving – goals.

“With my son, in seventh grade he went from being a backup player on the second team of the squad to a starter on the Varsity football team by his Junior year. He drove himself to that position. He had a goal in mind that he set for himself,” Geoff says. He also adds that, while all three of his children are competitive on the field, this competitive drive has never gotten out of hand and negatively impacted life off the field.

Competitiveness has a bad rap in our society, especially with regard to kids. The term “competitive” has become synonymous with undesirable traits such as aggression, belligerence, and general “out-of-line” behaviors. At its root, though, competitiveness has to do with “mastery of skills, demonstrating that mastery in a public way, and often comparing your performance to that of others,” explains Dr. Nancy Tolley, a psychologist with Cincinnati Public Schools. Dr. Tolley says that in children, this sense of mastery and taking pride in accomplishments begins anywhere between four and seven years of age.

Competition helps kids grow. “Competitiveness can be tied in a healthy way to a drive to learn,” Dr. Tolley continues, “to try new and difficult

HEALTHY COMPETITION

“Competition sparks creativity and innovation, in school, business, sports,

and in the home. Competitive people are often the most successful in these

areas – and healthy competition ensures that people perform at their best level.

—Dr. Peter S. Cha, Orthopedic Surgeon at Cincinnati’s Beacon Orthopedics


Written by sarah McCosham

things, to learn how to handle failure, and to establish a positive self-image. When the concept is tied to achieving personal bests, it establishes the foundation for future successes in life.”

“Competition sparks creativity and innovation, in school, business, sports, and in the home. Competitive people are often the most successful in these areas – and healthy competition ensures that people perform at their best level,” Adds Dr. Peter S. Cha, an Orthopedic Surgeon at Cincinnati’s Beacon Orthopedics.

However, there is an ugly side to competition – and it generally happens when the child’s team loses, or some sort of goal is not reached. “The drive to do your best, or to ‘win’ can turn into a drive to be perfect or to ‘win’ at any cost. When children feel compelled to always be perfect or feel worthless when they do not ‘win,’ the drive to compete becomes harmful,” Dr. Tolley explains.

Regarding unhealthy competition, Paul Splitt, a Physical Education teacher at St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School, adds a few key points: “When winning becomes an obsession, or losing is unacceptable, and the child is willing to cheat – that is unhealthy competition.”

To counter these attitudes and behaviors, Paul will intentionally put kids in situations where they will lose. “They need to learn how to lose. It is tough to teach kids to learn how to lose, but it is an important lesson.” He concludes, “Kids must maintain respect for the sport, themselves, and the opposition.”

Admittedly, this can be a difficult balance – something with which Geoff has seen kids struggle. With Meghan’s softball, he’s seen girls breaking down on the field. “They’ve been in tears,” says Geoff, “because of the call of a play, or being taken out of the game.”

The experts agree that adults send an important message when it comes to competition. “Adult messages about

competitiveness are very powerful. Parents and coaches should focus on comments about improvements in skills or attitudes. They should model positive behavior and discourage abusive or negative behavior on the part of other adults at competitions or sports events – especially for younger children,” says Dr. Tolley.

“Parents or coaches are key factors in setting the environment for healthy competition. They need to lead by example. If a parent or coach is a screamer or displays unsporting behavior then it will surely carry over to the player. A coach or parent simply needs to set appropriate goals and then stair -step a routine on how to get there,” adds Perry Wing, Director of Cincinnati’s Sports of All Sorts.

Geoff agrees, saying that parents need to make sure their kids feel supported and not pushed too hard. Specifically, notes Geoff, parents can’t fall into the trap of wanting to “live vicariously” through their child’s achievements.

This final sentiment – living through your children – is something Paul cautions about. “Parents are not the ones competing, and their identity can not be found through their children. Pushing children to live out the parents’ dreams is wrong, but pushing the children to live out their own dreams is amazing.”

To maintain this balance, Paul suggests parents “Encourage competition. Encourage your kids to try. Encourage your kids to not give up. Encourage them when they lose. Celebrate personal victories. Competition is healthy, and can be nurtured.”

Such support and encouragement is key, says Geoff: “When kids have this framework, they’ll naturally strive to do their best.”

Why Being Competitive Isn’t Bad for Your Child


Pete Gilbert Since my first column is for the June issue, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about Father’s Day, more specifically, choosing a gift for dad on his special day.

As a guy, buying a gift for your wife for Mother’s Day is fairly simple. Flowers, dinner out, a homemade card from the kids and you’re done.

Father’s Day is different. There is no go-to gift for Father’s Day anymore. Neckties used to be a common gift for dad, but now they are about as popular as a three-pack of tighty whities (and much less useful).

How do I know this? I’m a professional dad.

My qualifications? Last summer, I took a leave of absence from teaching and became a stay-at-home dad. Taking care of my three children became my full-time job. Also, I’ve never dropped my baby, none of my kids has had a broken bone while I was taking care of them (except for

maybe one tiny fracture) and I kind of want a minivan.

Now that you know that I’m truly qualified, please return the tie to the mall and keep reading. Here are a few gift ideas that will not be tossed into the “Goodwill” box by Labor Day:

sports equipment. If dad likes sports, get him something he can use – maybe a golf glove, tennis racket or basketball. On second thought, he may feel old (or get injured) trying to walk 18 holes, play a round of tennis or join a pickup game of full-court hoops. Forget the sports equipment.

Cook. Make dad an elaborate meal. Spend all day in the kitchen preparing his favorite foods, while he spends the day changing diapers and chasing kids around the house. That doesn’t exactly sound relaxing; let’s try something else...

a New Gadget. Surprise dad with the cool, new electronic gadget that he’s been eyeballing. There are so many iPods, tablet PCs, and handheld video games, I’m sure he would love one of them. After he opens it, he gets to make sure the software works, get batteries, and try to wrap his brain around a 300-page instruction manual. Maybe you should pass on the gadget.

This isn’t as easy as I thought.

How about something classic? How about something that makes a man look and feel good?

You know, like a necktie.

Trust me, I’m a professional.

So your child is going to camp! Follow these top ten tips to ensure your child has a happy and healthy summer.

1. When children show signs of illness, keep them home. This greatly reduces the spread of illness at camp. Ask your camp director about the timeframe that a child must be symptom-free before coming to camp.

2. Teach your child to sneeze and cough in his/her sleeve, and to wash his/her hands often at camp. Hand washing with soap and water should be performed for at least twenty seconds to remove germs.

3. Closed-toed shoes are a requirement for activities such as sports and hiking. This will help avoid slips, trips, and falls, which could cause injuries.

4. Send enough clothes so your child can wear layers. Mornings can be chilly and by afternoon it may be hot. This enables your child to peel his/her layers off as the weather warms.

5. Fatigue plays a part in injuries. If children are going to day camp, ensure they get enough rest at night. If children are going to resident camp, explain that camp is not like a sleepover — they shouldn’t try to stay up all night!

6. Don’t forget to send sunscreen with about 45 SPF, and instruct your child how to use sunscreen.

7. Send a reusable water bottle. Your child can refill it frequently during camp and stay hydrated.

8. Deciding whether or not to send your child to camp on a psychotropic medication break is a personal choice, but you should discuss your medication decisions with the camp director and your family physician. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Health Appraisal Guidelines for Day Camps and Resident Camps, “Elective interruption in medications (drug holidays) should be avoided in campers on long-term psychotropic therapy” (AAP, 2005).

9. Make sure you fill out medical history and authorization for medical care forms for your child. Speak with your camp director to make sure he or she has all the necessary information.

10. The American Camp Association’s® parent-dedicated Web site, www.CampParents.org, provides a wide range of educational

resources to help parents make good health-related decisions for children.

Research shows that couples who blissfully stay together for a lifetime have an uncanny ability to downplay the negative and highlight the positive in their mate and their relationship. Do you do that? When you are with your friends, do you talk up your mate’s overall helpfulness or do you prefer to tell a juicy story about the one incredibly thoughtless thing he or she did? It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. Take this joke, for instance:

A woman’s husband has been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came too, he motioned for her to come near her.

As she sat by him, he said, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?”

“What dear?” she asked gently.

“I think you bring me bad luck.”

When you started your relationship, you talked like an optimist, expressing joy and happiness about building a future together. As the years progressed, you and your mate probably shifted into a pessimistic auto-mode, in which you talk more about what is wrong and less about what is right. All the good things you’ve come to expect from your mate, you’ve come to neglect and ignore.

How can you renew the optimistic feeling you once enjoyed? For one thing, find a single positive in your relationship every day and say it out loud.

Even if things aren’t perfect at home, you can still find one upbeat moment to focus on. For instance, if you and your partner bicker a lot, but were more civil on a certain day, point that out: “Hey did you notice that we didn’t argue at all today? I am proud of us.” Just because your mate did something to tick you off early in the day don’t ignore something positive done later in the day.

Next, choose your friends wisely because pessimism and optimism are contagious. Rather than hanging out with a couple who teases or puts down their mate in public, find one who builds their mate up.

Finally, practicing optimism means finding and sharing a variety of activities with people who inspire you. Do you enjoy exercise, yoga, sports or cooking? Find friends who like to do those things. Do you like to write, paint or knit? Then introduce your child to those activities.

If becoming a love optimist seems like work to you, just consider the time and energy you will waste as a pessimist who instills anxiety, anger, and fear into your relationship. Practice these uplifting strategies and in days you will discover that you like yourself, your mate, and your life much more.
