Buckle your children up and save their livesSafety in a car is alwaysone of the biggest aspectswhen you buy a car. Thequestion always asked arehow many airbags or howgoodthebrakingsystemis.But themainsafety featurein the carare the seat belts.How often do we drive

homeoreven toworkwith-out our seatbelts fastenedbecauseit’s justaroundthecorner and nothing couldhappen to me? Or, I won’tbe in an accident because I’m a good driver. Ex-cuses that paramedics hear include: I’m afraidthe seatbelt will keep me trapped in the car incaseof anaccident; it isuncomfortableor Idon’tneedaseatbeltbecauseIhaveairbags.Then,un-expectedly you or your children are involved inanaccidentandsustainseriousor fatal injuries.Wetakeit forgrantedthatnothingcanhappen

to us. Most fatalities in accidents are becausethe occupants of the motor vehicle were eitherejected or where thrown around inside the carasthecarrolledorcollidedwithanothervehicle.

ER24’s paramedics arecalled to accidents dailywhere children and adultssustainedinjuries.Whenitcomes to children, parentsoftenask:Howdidthishap-pen, why did my child die?The concern is,wheredo

weasparentsdrawthe linein safety for our children.Especially when our chil-dren are travelling withotherroadusersandtheve-hicle they are travelling in

maybe overloaded. Children are extremely vul-nerable in collisions.

) Children should be seated and fastened ina car seat where possible.

) Never travel with your child on your lap.) Never share a seatbelt with your child.) Children have no say or choice whether to

wear a seatbelt or not, it is the responsibilityand legal obligation of the driver to make surethey wear it.

) It takes just a few seconds to buckle up tohelp save a life.

Rooibos tea can be juiced up for kidsAs the weather gets warmer, mothersshould give some thought to hydra-tion when packing their children’slunchboxes.Ensuringchildrenget enoughof the

right kinds of liquids, particularlyduring the hot summer months, canbe as important as making surethey’reproperlyfed.Mildormoderatedehydration can lead to sleepiness ortirednessandevenheadachesanddiz-ziness,making it difficult for childrento pay attention in class. In more se-vere cases delirium or even uncon-sciousness can occur.Packing a water bottle isn’t always

a guarantee that children will drinkenough to compensate for fluids theylose during break times or playingsports. Water can be bland and taste-less, particularly after a couple ofhours in a plasticwater bottle, so chil-dren simply don’t drink it. The alter-native is to add some sort of cordialand while this may make it more ap-pealing, not all of these areparticular-ly healthy options.

Many people tend to think of rooi-bos only as a hot drink, but it is anexceptional flavourenhancerandnat-urally sweet,whichmakes it a favour-ite ingredient for iced teas, fruitshakes, smoothies and iced lollies.Furthermore it contains no caffeine,fats or carbohydrates and its provenhealth benefits include boosting im-munesystems, relievingallergiesandpreventing heart disease and cancer.According toProf JeanineMarnew-

ick of Cape Peninsula University ofTechnology,rooibosisanatural thirst

quencheranddrinkingtheequivalentof six cups a day – hot or cold – willprovide sustained health benefits.Making a simple rooibos iced tea is

easy. Simply make a litre of rooibostea using four to six teabags. Sweetenthe tea with honey to taste and leaveit in the fridge to cool overnight. Youcan then experiment with this basiciced tea, adding mint, lemon, orange,granadilla,mangoorappleoracombi-nation of flavours until you find onethat your children really love.Juicedorsqueezedfreshfruitusual-

ly deliver the best results, but you canalso use preservative-free fruit juice.Mixing it with cold rooibos will makeit go further and keeping a jug of thechildren’s favourite iced tea in thefridge should mean you don’t have tokeepbuying juice.Coldrooiboscanbekept in the fridge for up to two weeks.Bypouringsome iced tea intopopsi-

cle containers or ice-cube trays andfreezing it, you can also make fun, re-freshing, healthy after school orsports treats.

A glass of rooibos tea the perfect drink.

SOLE MANDATE

Keep stress under controlduring examsWITH the end of the year examsaround thecorner,youmayalreadybe feeling thepres-sure.There are ways to make your life less

frantic during this period so that you canperform at your best. Remember cram-ming, an exam trademark, is not going todo your brain or nerves any favours.“That’s why it makes sense to start plan-

ning for your exams as soon as you receiveyour exam timetable,” says Dr Judy Jaye,training development manager at TheStress Clinic in Johannesburg, an affiliateof The Voice Clinic situated in Johannes-burg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban.Here are someuseful tips to keep inmind

when you clean your desk and start study-ing in earnest:

) Determine the amount of work youhave to cover, the time that itmay take youto do so and set up a study schedule. “Yourbest bet is to set four weeks aside for study-ing and two weeks for revision. This willgive you ample time to internalise yourstudy material and ask for help with diffi-cult subjects or topics.

) Divide your study material for eachsubject into bite-sized chunks and allocatethem to specific hours or days on yourschedule. Although tempting, don’t makeyour least favourite subjects, your last pri-ority”, says Judy.

) Plan your time, draw up a realisticscheduleandstick to it. Include somerelax-ation as it is not healthy to have your nosein your books all the time. Break up yourtime with short breaks.

) Don’t be unrealistic. You have a goodideaofwhatyouarecapableof.Beingrealis-

tic about your resultswill help prevent youfrom being disappointed when the resultscome.

) Avoid alcohol or recreational drugs;that is not the way to deal with your stressright now. Also try not to drink too muchcoffee, the caffeine won’t help you to con-centrate.

) Revise methodically; simply readinglong swathes of text is not going to help youremember facts and figures.

)Write out important dates, facts or pas-sages, use lots of coloured pens and under-line key phrases. Go back over these notesaday laterandaweekafter that.Yourmem-ory will be better and you will feel moreconfident about your exams.

)Testyourself or get someone to test youon your notes. Regular testing means thatyou remember facts better and any gaps inyour knowledge can be picked up in goodtime and that makes the actual exam a lotless stressful

) Stick post-its with key facts and phras-es on themaroundyourroom.Afterawhilethese facts will sink in.

) Ignore your friends, not entirely ofcourse. Don’t use them as a benchmark,know yourself and know what you have todo. You are in this for yourself.

) Thereisagreatsourceofsupportavail-able, all youhave to do is ask.Ask a teacherif you don’t understand a particular topic,or there is alwaysyourmomanddador sib-lings.

) Remember, exercise is a great way togiveyourself abreakand tomaximise yourconcentration span. A 15-minute jog or abrisk walk is all you have to do.
