 Schools Out for the Summer!
Summer is a special time and with the kids being home from school parents have an increased responsiblity to plan healthy treats and meals.
Studies show that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, as well as children with other behavioral diagnosis, are especially sensitive to the foods they eat. This is especially important to consider due to the negative effects of sugar on children's brains, behavior, and mental health. To help kids eat healthy, reduce sugar and have fun visit www.ChooseMyPlate.gov for more information.
Encourage children to eat vegetables and fruits by making it fun. Here is a quick and easy snack idea: Bugs on a Log...use celery, cucumber, or carrot sticks as the log and add peanut butter. Top with dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries, depending on what bugs you want!

 Happy Thoughts
We gain strength and courage and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face.
We must do that which we think we cannot. - Eleanor Roosevelt
