Drop 5 Pounds But Watch Your Friends


According to an article in the August 2010 Good Housekeeping issue, when you are trying to lose weight your best friends can be our worst enemies, if you're trying to stick to good-for-you fare. When University of Miami researchers asked 154 students to choose snacks for their buddies, 75% of the "shoppers" picks were unhealthy (chips, cookies, fruit roll-ups, and more). But when the same students selected treats for themselves, only 50% of their choices were junk foods. The chum-yum connection? People tend to think their pals don't watch what they eat as carefully as they themselves do, explain researchers. The bottom line? Wrong, they do.


If your trying to watch your weight, ice pops aren't just for kids. For cold treats with mom-and-pop appeal, try Edy's new Antioxidant Fruit Bars. I personally love these ice pops. The acaiblueberry and pomegranate flavors will satisfy your sophisticated taste buds and, at60 to 70 calories each, these pops still make the low-cal cut. (Sadly, that is not the case for the pomegranate margaritas.) Available nationwide (as Dreyer's Fruit bars in Western states) $4.19 for a six-pack.

Parent-Teacher Relationships: Part I

The relationship between teachers and parents is an extremely powerful component in student success. Yet, so many parents go through the school year without communicating with the teacher or understanding what to do (or avoid) to make the most of the year. So, Lisa Capretto interviewed a third-grade teacher, Stacey Nelson, a devoted and successful educator in Tennessee. Stacey shared several things teachers wish parents knew before sending their children to school.
Today, Ms. Nelson discusses how teachers wish that parents and students
"Respect the Teacher".

1. Most teachers truly care about your children and want them to be successful
2. Trust in the teachers feedback. If a teacher reports a particular behavior that you haven't seen before, don't rush to judgement. Listen to what the teacher has to say and work with him/her to find a solution.
3.Don't show up for a meeting unannounced. Instead, schedule a time to meet. This will show you respect the teacher's time and give him/her time to prepare for the meeting.
4. Don't go over the teacher's head. If you an issue with the teacher, talk to the teacher before going to the principal or other administrators. 95% of problems can be resolved between the teacher and parent without any other interventions.

On Monday, Stacey Nelson gives her thoughts on being involved in your child's education.

PTA Involvement Ideas

The National PTA states that whether you spend three hours or three months volunteering in a way that works for you, remember that you're not just helping your child for the year, but you're setting your child up for success throughout their entire academic career. Below are additional ideas for parental involvement in schools.

1. Participate in PTA's Teacher Appreciation Week by organizing a breakfast or lunch.
2. Get to know your child's teacher by introducing yourself and scheduling a brief meeting.
3. Create a community bulletin board at the school to post information or ideas.
4. Participate in PTA's Take Your Family To School Week, celebrated each February.
5. Participate in American Education Week, sponsored by the National Education Association by visiting the school and classroom.
6. Record yourself reading books onto tapes so children with reading challenges can enjoy them.
7. Host a block meeting at your home with other parents to discuss/share school issues and information.
8. Offer to drive other students/families to school-related events they wouldn't otherwise be able to attend.
9. Invite other parents to join you when you volunteer at school.
