Reading aloud to your child encourages the love for good literature.  When you read aloud to your child, try reading books that are one to two grade levels above their current ability  This will build vocabulary and comprehension.  Below is an  article submitted by Tara_Librarian.  As a bonus, she gives her favorite books to be read aloud.

Preventing Cancer

According to the American Institute for Cancer Research a recently reported study found that a striking 38 percent of breast cancer, 45 percent of colon cancers, and 70 percent of endometrial cancers could be prevented if we all did just three things:

1. Follow a plant-heavy diet

2. Exercise

3. Maintain a healthy weight

Now how hard is that?  You may not be able to guarantee that you or someone in your family won't get cancer, but if there are easy steps that can be incorporated into your lives, do all you can do.  Especially for our children.  The earlier we start our children on good healthy habits, the easier it will be for them to maintain that lifestyle.

Good Fish 4U

I love to share health information with families, so they can make intelligent choices.  According to an article from the March 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, the next time you're shopping for seafood, check out your choice before buying.  Simply text the word "fish," followed by the type (say, "tilapia"), to 30644.  The nonprofit blue Ocean Institute will text you right back to alert you if the fish has high levels of mercury or (PCBs - contaminants that pose a health risk.  The message will also tell you whether it's a sustainable species, so you'll know when your selection is safe for your family and the planet.
