Tips on Addressing News Issues with Children

Tips from Dr. Phyllis Ohr, Child Psychologist for Press4Kids, on how parents can address news issues with children and what children can do to feel better:

1.      When the event does not personally affect the child, reassure them that everything is okay with the people they love and that nothing has changed for them.

2.     Be sure to stress to children that if they do have questions to ask parents, teachers as well as friends. Other children having the same feelings may be comforting.

3.    Begin by giving the child a brief synopsis of what happened by using age appropriate language. Ask if there is something they want to know more about or if they need something explained further. If so, stick to pointedly answering their question or clarifying. Do not add on or digress.

4.    Do not assume the news will make children feel a certain way. Ask if they know how they feel, but stress that kids feel all different ways when they hear important news and sometimes do not know how they feel or do not feel anything which is okay. However, if children are affected by it, it is their own feeling. Reassure children that no matter what they are feeling, their feelings are okay.

5.    If they are upset but don't want to talk, suggest a fun activity for distraction or help them use calming skills like playing, drawing a picture or writing a story. These activities help release any upset feelings and make children feel better.


You can simply download the News-O-Matic app (available for the iPad or iPad Mini in the Apple App Store for a free, three-issue trial).


News-O-Matic gives children the opportunity to explore the latest current events through the app, while also giving them a voice to express their views.  Children can interact with the Editor-in-Chief by rating stories, drawing pictures, asking questions or expressing opinions about current topics in the “News Room” section of the app.

Created by a skilled team—including child experts, designers and entrepreneurs—News-O-Matic

aims to transform the news experience for children in a safe, interactive environment while encouraging them to become knowledgeable, productive members of society.

 

Making sense of the current tragedies around the world from the Boston marathon bombings, to the Oklahoma City Tornadoes to the recent terrorist attack in London can be quite a challenge for adults, let alone children. As parents know, children process these things differently.  They may be asking difficult questions and parents may need suggestions to help discuss what happened and address their concerns. Since directing them to the New York Times to read about it or any other news source is not an option, Press4Kids developed News-O-Matic.

News-O-Matic is an educational news app that covers breaking news, sports, science and much more in an accessible and kid-friendly way.
                        
Targeted to kids ages 7-10, News-O-Matic is a week day newspaper application which includes five daily news stories, detailed images, videos, illustrations, maps, timelines and games. P4K’s objective is to inspire a generation of children to become habitual news readers and well-informed global citizens.

News-O-Matic gives children the opportunity to explore the latest current events through the app, while also giving them a voice to express their views. Children can interact with the Editor-in-Chief by rating stories, drawing pictures, asking questions or expressing opinions about current topics in the “News Room” section of the app.

Customized Shirts, Personalized Messages Sign My Shirt Review

I found a new website to order personalized shirts from.  It's called signmyshirt.com and they have so many different styles to choose from.  I chose to get a shirt for my husband with his high school and basketball on it, since he played basketball in high school.  The ordering process is so simple.  I love how the website is easily navigated for a quick custom order. 

That's the shirt we chose.  We got it in a nice blue.  The shirt is very soft material and so comfortable.  My husband has worn it a few times and washed it.  The color doesn't fade and the shirt doesn't shrink.  I highly recommend Sign My Shirt.com for all your custom shirt needs.

Disclosure:  I received the shirt at no cost to facilitate a review.  The opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Copperhead Movie Ticket & Signed Poster Giveaway Ends 6/1/13 at 7 PM EST

 
I am proud to announce the arrival of a Civil War movie unlike any you’ve seen before. Copperhead, a film for the whole family, opening in theaters June 28!

Did you know that this year marks the 150 year anniversary of the Civil War & The Battle of Gettysburg?

We were all taught about the Civil War in school, but how much do we really know about the challenging stories of the brave families during the era?  Mothers, fathers, and children all experienced intense hardship as family members left to fight in combat.  150 years later the timeless stories of families affected by war still remain especially pertinent.

 
Commemorate the 150 year anniversary & keep your kids learning during the summer by catching Copperhead, a Civil War movie the whole family can watch together and talk about!

About Copperhead:
From director Ron Maxwell, (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals) Copperhead is unlike any other Civil War movie.  Far from the Virginia battlefield, it’s the exciting story of Abner Beech (Billy Campbell), a peace-loving but stubborn dairy farmer in upstate New York.  He detests slavery, but opposes the war for the sake of the “union.”  Abner is neither a Yankee nor a Rebel. He is a Copperhead. This is an extraordinary story of family and community.  Learn more: http://www.copperheadthemovie.com

Giveaway:    

Enter to win the Official Copperhead Movie Pack:

CIVIL WAR SKILLFUL SCHOLAR!

THE PIANO GUYS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM THE PIANO GUYS – VOLUME

The Piano Guys are back with a new album, The Piano Guys - Volume 2, with their unique take on music from Pachelbel to The Turtles to Bruno Mars, available for the first time on CD on May 7, 2013 from Portrait, Sony Masterworks’ new adult contemporary imprint.  Also available is the Deluxe version which includes the CD plus the 12 corresponding music videos – available for the first time on DVD!

The recording features imaginative mash-ups and arrangements that made their last album so successful, plus a few original recordings including the previously unreleased song “Berlin” as well as “Waterfall,” creating an incomparable style that appeals to audiences from all walks of life and across generations.

The Piano Guys just released a music video for “Berlin” on YouTube. Inspired by a recent trip to Germany, the song combines both picturesque classical vibes and a pop/dubsteb feel creating an abstract depiction of how the group felt while travelling and performing in Berlin.

Volume 2 also includes violin sensation Lindsey Stirling on the iconic movie theme “Mission Impossible.” Of the collaboration with Stirling, Steve Sharp Nelson says "This has been on The Piano Guys' list for a long time -- and many fans have been clamoring for the combo too. On the video we had to pull out all the stops -- special effects, stunts, and a little slapstick! Working with Lindsey was so much fun. She is super talented and enjoys what she does just like we do!”

The Piano Guys began making music videos for fun and their “hobby” turned into a worldwide phenomenon as their self-made YouTube videos continue to amass millions of views.  Their hit self-titled debut album, released last October on Sony Masterworks, has been #1 on the Billboard New Age Chart for the last 23 weeks and remains on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart. Their unique style has garnered rave reviews and performances on The Today Show, Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Katie, CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends among others.

Ironically, The Piano Guys, who got their name from a piano store in St. George, Utah, are a quartet featuring only two musicians - only one being a pianist. Store owner Paul Anderson devised a Facebook promotional page and a YouTube channel featuring well-established, self-described “New Age Classical” pianist Jon Schmidt, who teamed up musically with Steven Sharp Nelson, an innovative cellist. Together, Schmidt and Nelson form the musical core of The Piano Guys, with Anderson - who has since closed the store. Al van der Beek, the fourth “Guy,” heads up the group’s studio operations, and also assists in co-writing and arranging, as well as percussion and vocal texturing. They create their music videos all together.

The Piano Guys and will kick off a Fall tour in October.  PBS continues to air their dedicated TV special, “Live At Red Butte Garden” which was filmed at Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre in Utah, in March 2013.

Sony Masterworks comprises Masterworks Broadway, Masterworks, Okeh, Portrait, RCA Red Seal and Sony Classical imprints. For email updates and information please visit www.SonyMasterworks.com.

Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover Review & Giveaway Ends 5/31/13 at 7 PM EST

Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover Review

I have been using the soft scrub mold and mildew stain remover for the past few weeks.  It really does a nice job.  I even used it on our shower that tends to get a bit moldy.  I really like this product.  It is high quality.  NEW Soft Scrub® Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is a unique spray gel that is tough on stains, and gentle on surfaces.  Unlike other spray bleach cleansers that product a fine mist of bleach vapors, Soft Scrub® Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is a thick gel that clings to bathroom surfaces to penetrate and remove tough stains without harsh fumes or overspray.
 



Giveaway:  

3 will win a coupon for a free Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remov.

Dynamic Yoga: Elements of Yoga: Fire with Tara Lee Review

Dynamic Yoga: Elements of Yoga: Fire with Tara Lee Review


This dynamic practice was designed to build heat and strength in the body while cleansing and purifying the mind, body and spirit.  The fire element lies at the center of our being so this DVD has been created to strengthen the core as well as give you a strong, fluid practice that will eliminate toxins.

Connecting to the fire element will help you burn up unwanted emotional issues and detoxify the body.

The DVD is divided into three 20-40 minute sequences which can be played in succession or individually.  In addition, there are 4 bonus features:
10 minute balancing series
10 minute core workout
10 minute breathing exercise
5 minute relaxation.

Here is a link to one of the 10 minute extras from the DVD : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG2AqWtDt00

Fire is the final title in Tara Lee's elements of yoga series.

"Tara introduced me to the wonderful world of yoga 10 years ago... I couldn't even touch my toes! I've been hooked ever since. Like every woman, sometimes it's hard to steal, even, thirty minutes for myself, I'm constantly traveling and juggling schedules. But with her yoga DVD even I can find some 'me time', to focus my mind, reset my body and just breathe!" Cat Deeley

I really enjoyed this dvd.  I am not really that big of a yoga fan but Tara Lee makes me want to be better so I try.  Each time I do a workout from this DVD I feel as though I am stronger and more flexible than I was the last time I did it.  I really like the extra core workout and the balancing series.   It's hard for me to do the breathing exercise for 10 minutes but it is good for the soul.  I just have a hard time relaxing and letting go.  I plan to incorporate this dvd into my schedule and continue doing it regularly.

You can connect with Tara on facebook and youtube.
