PUBLIC SCHOOLS START ON MONDAY! 
It's almost here! The first day of school is probably a child's most exciting day of the year,...new friends, new teachers, maybe even a new school! Even as an adult, I can still vividly remember the excitement I felt. I just loved all of my new school supplies and always felt quite important carrying my stack of new notebooks and textbooks that we covered with brown paper grocery bags. (We had no backpacks....however did we do it?) The height of your stack was something that indicated your age. So the higher stacks summoned a sense of respect. Then there was the excitement of seeing old friends, finding out who was in my homeroom class, meeting the new kids, deciding what to wear...so many exciting things! I was always given instructions from my mother to be nice to the new kids and invite them to sit with me at lunch. I passed the same advice to my children and I encourage all parents to do the same. In today's world it is also a good idea to tell them not to tolerate bullying of themselves or others. Take the time to explain the best way to report any bullying. This has become a major problem in schools, and we need to do what we can to stop it.

HOW MUCH SLEEP DO WE NEED?
We have published this before in FLASH, but with school starting, we thought it was worth printing again. The amount of sleep you need depends on various factors - especially your age. Consider these general guidelines from Mayo Clinic for different age groups:
| Age group | Recommended amount of sleep |
|---|
| Infants | 14 to 15 hours | | Toddlers | 12 to 14 hours | | School-age children | 10 to 11 hours | | Adults & Teens | 8 to 9 hours |

If your child won't eat vegetables, try this. What kid doesn't like spaghetti? If the sauce is based on tomatoes sautéed in olive oil, and the pasta is whole wheat, you've already got a healthy dish going. Sneaky extra: Boost the sauce's nutrition by adding minced steamed carrots or stirring in pureed baby-food carrots. Your kids will never notice the extra veggies. Next time you may want to try adding another baby food veggie or one that's gone through the food processor. Shhh! We won't tell! |

Crops in the Midwest have suffered from the lack of rain and because of that, consumers will see increases in the prices of meat, eggs, dairy and corn products. (The cost of fruits and other vegetables should not change much because the main areas for producing those crops are not under drought.) With corn, soybean meal and sorghum used as major ingredients for animal feed, costs to feed animals will be rising sharply in the next few months. That increase in animal feed cost will be passed on to the consumer toward the end of this year and the start of 2013. However, initially, meat costs are expected to decrease because of a large supply entering the market as producers rush to sell their livestock to escape the inflated expense of feed. You may want to purchase meat for your freezer when this drop occurs because it won't be long before they start on the uptick again.

 WARNING TO PARENTS!
DANGER OF TIDE PODS
Since the debut of Tide Pods almost 300 kids have been sickened by consuming the highly concentrated laundry detergent found in the small laundry packs. Kids are mistaking the colorful look of the packs for candy and are eating them! Some kids have also been reported as developing rashes and burning eyes caused by exposure to the liquid in the pods. Tide Pods are sold in large containers which look a lot like popular candy containers on the market. This double threat has led to Tide rethinking their design of this product. Tide is now in the process of creating a redesigned Tide Pod packet and will add a double latch lid to the product container. Meanwhile keep all detergents out of children's reach! |

TROUBLE LOSING WEIGHT?
 TRY DR. OZ'S METABOLIC FAST
What's the difference between fasting and metabolic fasting to lose fat? According to Dr. Oz, the reason you may have trouble losing weight is that your blood sugar levels are high. This not only stops you from burning fat and losing weight, it's also very unhealthy. Regular fasting slows down your metabolism and causes your blood sugar levels to rise due to the stress fasting places on your body. A metabolic fast provides your body with the nutrients it needs to stimulate your metabolism to push your body into fat-burning mode. If you want to try it, you can print Dr Oz's plan. Click Here
