ULTIMATE GUIDE TO NAUSEA BY BABYNS

If you are pregnant or have been pregnant, there is one thing that most women would say they would totally pass on and that is nausea. Not all women who are pregnant go through the "nausea stage" but those who suffered through it, know exactly how horrible it can be. Pregnant women experience nausea during the first and second trimesters, it is one of the early signs of pregnancy although not constant to all women.

You do not necessarily have to be pregnant just to have nausea, some women suffer from painful periods, and can be seriously affected by this on a monthly basis.

Recently, I came across the "Ultimate Guide to Nausea," which can be found in Baby ns, a website for women by women, that provides information on pregnancy, labor and information on children from birth to 12 years old.

As someone who personally suffers from nausea monthly, I found the guide to be extremely informative and useful. It provides plenty of information and tips on how to deal with the effects of nausea.

For example, some of the breakdown of the guide consists of:

It is a great read, whether you suffer nausea because of pregnancy, periods, migraines or eating certain foods, because it helps give you tips and ways to combat the nausea, no matter what the reason for it is.

Take a look at the guide and read for yourself. I am sure you too will find it as informative as I did: Ultimate Guide to Nausea.

DOES MY KID HAVE ADHD?

Recently, during my son's parent/teacher conference, his teacher told me how poorly he is doing in school and how he has trouble focusing and "staying on task" and has a poor attention span. I was thrown for a loop, as his grades are all A's and B's. She also emphasized how bad, his "test-taking skills" are. She went on to explain how one time he scored extremely poorly on a reading test and then weeks later, scored above grade level? So, I have a smart kid who gets A's & B's but sucks at test-taking and can't focus during test. Is this her conclusion? What am I to do with this kind of information?

I know my child does not have a learning disability and honestly, I am not oblivious to my child's behavior, because I do know that he is not the "best listener" around, but I never expected such a gloomy outcome to the conference.

In recent weeks, I have noticed, a change in his behavior, pushing the "limits" more and more, but I thought perhaps he was testing his "behavioral boundaries" with me combined with his near entrance into his "pre-tween years. Regardless, now I must do something immediately to help him, both academically and emotionally, so he does not fall behind because I know very well, that even if you have a smart child, once a teacher and the "system" start labeling your kid, it does not go well or in the favor of the student.

Since having had my parent/teacher conference, I have already looked into resources at our local school district and I plan on making some calls to a couple of his previous teachers to consult with them, as he had a great rapport with these teachers, as well as the ESE Specialist and the principal of the school, which I have known for years. Independent of all these things, the conference and the teacher's comments left me wondering now, if my kid actually could have ADHD,(Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.)

I know that poor-test taking does not equate ADHD, but it is the combination of the symptoms and patterns of behavior I have noticed, coupled with the teacher's very specific details of his classroom behavior and his overall demeanor recently, that has lead me to my reading and research. Plus, to top it off, I read a list of symptoms that are common in children that have ADHD and I was able to check the majority of the bullet points. Yikes!

Symptoms in Children

Symptoms are grouped into three categories:
Inattention. A child with ADHD:

Is easily distracted
Doesn't follow directions or finish tasks
Doesn't appear to be listening
Doesn't pay attention and makes careless mistakes
Forgets about daily activities
Has problems organizing daily tasks
Doesn’t like to do things that require sitting still
Often loses things
Tends to daydream

Hyperactivity. A child with ADHD:

Often squirms, fidgets, or bounces when sitting
Doesn't stay seated
Has trouble playing quietly
Is always moving, such as running or climbing on things (In teens and adults, this is more commonly described as restlessness.)
Talks excessively
Is always “on the go” as if “driven by a motor”

Impulsivity. A child with ADHD:

Has trouble waiting for his or her turn
Blurts out answers
Interrupts others

My online research regarding the topic of ADHD, lead me to an interesting post on alternative (homeopathic ) ways to try to deal with a child's ADHD or at least try to lessen some of the symptoms. I know obviously, these are not cures and many kids have much more serious problems but, I found it to be quite informative and a good alternative to try, even if my child has not been officially diagnosed with ADHD or other behavioral issue.

I always appreciate alternative methods to medicine and believe that some of these tips can benefit many children, independent of whether they officially have ADHD or not.

After reading the list below, I have to say that I have to make a very conscious effort to implement some of these, especially, No. 1, regarding food-coloring!

1. Forgo food colorings and preservatives

Alternative treatments may help manage some symptoms associated with ADHD, including:

difficulty paying attention
organizational problems
forgetfulness
frequently interrupting

The Mayo Clinic notes that certain food colorings and preservatives may increase hyperactive behavior in some children. Avoid foods with these colorings and preservatives:

sodium benzoate, which is commonly found in carbonated beverages, salad dressings, and fruit juice products
FD&C Yellow No. 6 (sunset yellow), which can be found in breadcrumbs, cereal, candy, icing, and soft drinks
D&C Yellow No. 10 (quinoline yellow), which can be found in juices, sorbets, and smoked haddock
FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine), which can be found in foods like pickles, cereal, granola bars, and yogurt
FD&C Red No. 40 (allura red), which can be found in soft drinks, children’s medications, gelatin desserts, and ice cream

2. Avoid potential allergens

Diets that restrict possible allergens may help improve behavior in some children with ADHD.
It’s best to check with an allergy doctor if you suspect that your child has allergies. But you can experiment by avoiding these foods:

chemical additives/preservatives such as BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and BHA (butylated hydroxy-anisole), which are often used to keep the oil in a product from going bad and can be found in processed food items such as potato chips, chewing gum, dry cake mixes, cereal, butter, and instant mashed potatoes
milk and eggs
chocolate
foods containing sali-cylates, including berries, chili powder, apples and cider, grapes, oranges, peaches, plums, prunes, and tomatoes (sali-cylates are chemicals occurring naturally in plants and are the major ingredient in many pain medications)

3. Try EEG biofeedback

Electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback is a type of neuro-therapy that measures brain waves. A 2011 study suggested that EEG training was a promising treatment for ADHD.
A child may play a special video game during a typical session. They’ll be given a task to concentrate on, such as “keep the plane flying.” The plane will start to dive or the screen will go dark if they’re distracted. The game teaches the child new focusing techniques over time. Eventually, the child will begin to identify and correct their symptoms.

4. Consider a yoga or tai chi class

Some small studies indicate that yoga may be helpful for people with ADHD. Research published in 2013 reported significant improvements in hyperactivity, anxiety, and social problems in boys with ADHD who practiced yoga regularly.
Some early studies suggest that tai chi also may help improve ADHD symptoms. Researchers found that teenagers with ADHD who practiced Tai Chi weren’t as anxious or hyperactive. They also daydreamed less and displayed fewer inappropriate emotions when they participated in tai chi classes twice a week for five weeks.

5. Spending time outside

Spending time outside may benefit children with ADHD. There is strong evidence that spending even 20 minutes outside can benefit them by improving their concentration. Greenery and nature settings are the most beneficial.
A 2011 study, and several studies before it, supports the claim that regular exposure to outdoors and green space is a safe and natural treatment that can be used to help people with ADHD.

6. Behavioral or parental therapy

For children with more severe cases of ADHD, behavioral therapy can prove beneficial. The American Academy of Pediatrics states that behavioral therapy should be the first step in treating ADHD in young children.
Sometimes called behavioral modification, this approach works on resolving specific problematic behaviors and offers solutions to help prevent them. This can also involve setting up goals and rules for the child. Because behavioral therapy and medication are most effective when used together, it can be a powerful aid in helping your child.
Parental therapy can help provide parents with the tools they need to help their child with ADHD succeed. Equipping parents with techniques and strategies for how to work around behavioral problems can help both the parent and the child in the long term.

What about supplements?

Treatment with supplements may help improve symptoms of ADHD. These supplements include:

zinc
L-carnitine
vitamin B-6
magnesium

However, results have been mixed. Herbs like ginkgo, ginseng, and passionflower may also help calm hyperactivity.

Supplementing without a doctor’s oversight can be dangerous — particularly in children. Talk to your doctor if you’re interested in trying these alternative therapies. They can order a blood test to measure current levels of a nutrient in your child before they start taking supplements.

There are a lot of natural remedies out there, and each day, different natural remedies come out promising great things. Caveat emptor! Discuss treatment options with your doctor, as some natural remedies may interfere with remedies that your physician is providing.

ADDENDUM: Also, if you have a child who happens to have a learning disability, here is a
guide that provides information on specific rights and services offered to help families of children with learning disabilities such as:

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
Individualized Education Program
504 Plans

Sometimes families may be forced to pay out of pocket for treatment costs so their child can get the help they need. To help with this issue, The Simple Dollar created a resource that outlines treatment plans and how to afford them based on the type of disability, including ADHD.

"FRESH" LITTLE GIRL

For most of my years as a mother, I have spent my time as a blogger but before my "Mommy Warrior" days, I spent 10 years in the music business and those were some of the most entertaining years of my life. It was a privilege to go to work every day and listen to amazing talent being developed.

I was fortunate enough to work for one of the Top 5 music labels during some of the best years in the music industry with some extremely talented national and international recording artists. I was also lucky enough to be part of the process of developing young talent, working with A&R in finding the artist, developing their album, (CD) their artwork, working on their promotion, and eventually seeing them perform in concert. It was an amazing opportunity - a true privilege, especially for someone who is so passionate about music. I miss those days.

In the years since, I have come across a few young singers online, who have made it in today's (new) digital music world, but today, I came across an amazingly fresh new talent! As a "Mommy blogger" I have been asked to share this with you!

Some of you may have heard of this spunky and talented young artist, if you watch America's Got Talent, but if you don't, let me introduce you to SKYLAR ("SKY") KATZ. Sklyar, known to friends as Sky, is an 11-year old with an incredible talent for rapping. Her passion and enthusiasm is contagious. She has been rapping since she was 5-years old.

It is so refreshing to hear someone so young with a passion for old school hip-hop, especially hearing her hit single "Haters," which is a re-vamp of Biz Markie's "Just a Friend," which has received positive reception worldwide and critical acclaim. Even more exciting was Skylar's performance on the hit TV show, America's Got Talent, where she wowed the panel with her single "Fresh."

The judges all gave her a "yes," and Howie Mandel told her she had swag and style and Simon Cowell, said, "You are the coolest 11-year old in the world," and "You scare me," which in Simon's language, means, he was very impressed!

As a mother, I love that this young girl has positive messages for today's youth and through her rap music, she expresses her thoughts and feelings and teaches young people not to listen to the "haters." I also love that she is a well-rounded individual, who loves her family, friends and excels in sports as well, playing on three travel basketball teams in her hometown of Long Island, NY.

Skylar Katz's debut album is slated for a 2017 release. Remember, when you hear everyone talking about this fresh new rapper on the scene, you heard it here first - her future is bright, so expect to hear big things from her very soon! In the meantime, make sure to follow her on all her social media platforms!

The Sky's the limit!

PARENTING TEENS IN TODAY'S TECH-FILLED LIFESTYLE

Guest Blogger: Angela Linders

Parenting may be a practice that is older than humanity itself, but it’s something that every mother or father is still trying to master. Each generation comes with a new set of knowledge, ground rules, cultural changes and lifestyles that require what the previous generation new to evolve and the right parenting habits be altered. Today’s kids are being raised in a completely different set of circumstances from their parents and those adults didn’t have the same upbringing as the grandparents of their children.

Many of the basics may be the same, but the details in parenting teens nowadays, couldn’t be more different than they used to be. Never before has a society been more dependent on technology. The concept of social media and teens alone can be rather overwhelming. Today, the average tech teen needs a smartphone and to purchase a power bank and external battery charger case just to make sure they can get through an average day.

Gone are the days of massive desktops that required us to stay tethered to the wall while we prayed that the power wouldn’t fail. Now, a power bank and good quality external battery charger case will keep a smartphone running and safe regardless of where they are and what they’re doing. This makes the experience for today’s teens far different from those of generations before. So, what are the right parenting habits for this generation? Do we really know what we’re doing?

Studies have shown that parents with kids younger than 8 years old will play or watch content before their kids are allowed to see it (57 percent.) Many parents (34 percent) will listen to recommendations provided by friends and family before showing content to their child. Another 31 percent will trust a company’s reputation when deciding whether its content is acceptable for their kids. Surprisingly, 1 in 4 parents simply let their young children find their own content for viewing, while 13 percent will look at the website’s reviews first and 5 percent will look at magazine or newspaper reviews for a site.

In the case of teens, the relationship shifts a little bit. Where it’s easier for us to see things in black and white for younger kids, teens are older and have greater independence and freedom. Most teens – 90 percent, in fact – feel that their parents trust their ability to be responsible with their online activities. That said, 45 percent said that if their parents were watching, they would alter something about the way they behaved online. Even among pre-teens, nearly 70 percent have admitted to hiding some of their online activities.

With that in mind, it may be worth a second look at what is hidden inside a teen son or daughter’s external battery charger case.

MOURNING THE LOSS OF SOMEONE YOU DID NOT KNOW

Jose Fernandez, age 24 (Image Source: Miami Marlins)

Is it possible to mourn the loss of someone you did not know personally? How do you put that loss into perspective? After someone's death, people tend to remind you that you should "live life to the fullest" or "enjoy life as if it was your last," or "tell your loved ones you love them everyday." Well, even when we do all these things, does it really make losing a loved one or someone we cared about any easier? I think not. Death is never easy to accept and it is something we, as humans have enormous trouble coming to terms with. Well, what happens when you feel a huge loss over the death of someone you never knew personally?

I feel like I am always writing about death and grief, but it just seems that it is a constant flow of "only the good die young." I have experienced enough loss first-hand but this week was a new one for me, especially as a parent.

Upon hearing of the un-timely death of young baseball superstar, Jose Fernandez, in a tragic boating accident, on September 25, 2016, my 9-year old was devastated. At first, when he heard the news, he was a little saddened, even saying "he knew he was in a better place," but as the day went by and the story was all over the news, the reality that his favorite baseball player had died, hit him hard. He was crying intermittently all day, as he recalled seeing him pitch at various Miami Marlins baseball games.

Source: AP

Even in the afternoon, when he was at the hockey rink, his favorite place to be, he over-heard adults talking about the loss of this amazing young baseball player. It was everywhere. I thought I could distract him by allowing him to go on his PlayStation when we got home, but that only lead to having more tears come streaming down, as number #16 came up on his virtual roster of his Miami Marlins PlayStation team.

As the day worn on, there were moments when he literally sobbed. It broke my heart and scared me a little too that he could be this affected by the death of someone he did not know personally. He has always been a very sensitive & self-less kid, being extremely concerned about the feelings of others and being overly sympathetic to the well-being of animals or to someone who is not being treated fairly, but this death, this was hitting him hard.


So excited to go see a Miami Marlins game

He has experienced death in the family before, as his aunt died of cancer and his great-grandmother passed away last year. However, he never really got to interact with either of them very much. He did cry and was saddened upon their passing but this, this was too much, for his young heart to bear and I struggle to understand it, this is also why I write, in an effort to make sense of things.

Which leads me to now - How in the world do I explain to my child not to mourn the loss of someone he never really knew? I am not an insensitive person, I just do not want my child to suffer every death in the future and every bad thing that happens in the world as if it was only upon his shoulders. I recognize it is still too soon, for him to understand that "no one gets out alive." Even for us adults, it is extremely difficult to accept the death of someone so young and so full of life, however, I need him to know the difference - or do I?

Do I want him to stop being an overly sensitive, caring soul? Do I want him to stop having empathy and compassion for those he loves, respects and admires? No! I don't.

The death of Jose Hernandez has hit those of us who did not know him personally, very hard, because I think, we can innately recognize a soul that is pure love, pure life. His exuberance and his joy on the field was evident. If we, the strangers, feel this enormous loss, I cannot even fathom what his family and friends are going through, and I cannot even begin to imagine the unfathomable pain of loss that his mother and grandmother are experiencing.

It is in the passing of this wonderful young man, who was only 24-years of age, that I have come to realize, that it is okay to feel the loss of someone you never met, especially someone of such an amazing character, as was Jose Fernandez. While, I still believe it is unhealthy to harp on the death of someone you did not know, it is also a sign of true compassion and empathy and those are the qualities I have always tried to instill in my children.

So as the baseball community and South Florida bids farewell to Jose Fernandez, I will make sure to let my son know, it is okay to express sorrow for someone he admired so much. I am sure my son will learn to watch his favorite team again without being sad but as the days go by, I will also make sure to teach him about what an amazing human being Fernandez was. How he was a philanthropist and did all that he could to help children with cancer. I will teach him how Fernandez risked his life to leave the oppressed country of my parents, Cuba. I will remind him how he jumped into the dangerous waters during this escape to save his own mother, at only age 15. I will point out to him what an amazing community member he was and how he lived his life with extreme joy and passion. I will teach him, that like my own parents and grandparents, he left a dictatorship seeking freedom to live the American dream and how important it is to stand up for what you believe in.

And some day, maybe someday, he will understand that no one lives forever, and that God sometimes takes those who have accomplished their "mission" on Earth, a little too early.

Jose meant a lot of things to many different people and in writing this, I realize now, just how important he was to my son, as well, and how it is okay to mourn someone you never knew.

However, life does go on...

FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING

FOE - Family Over Everything: Surrounding your kids with the love of family is so important! Whether it is with cousins, older siblings, grandparents, or friends, who are like family - having that feeling - that sense of "family" is an amazing emotional motivator. It helps a child (and even an adult) feel loved and welcomed and makes them feel part of something bigger.

If you have family close by, treasure them, spend time with them. If they are not close, reach out and call. Appreciate those who love you unconditionally! ❤️🙏🏻

FRESHMAN YEAR - MOMS BE AWARE

Here is another great article from Guest Blogger, Ani Brioso, of Solo Love! When I read this article asking if I had a freshman in high school, I immediately answered yes! Then, I was floored as I read the content. We are living in seriously different & dangerous times, although I guess every older generation before us, must have thought the same thing.

Nonetheless, this is a very serious topic, one which is well-worth sharing. Thank you Ani, for sharing this with other parents!

IMPORTANT FOR MOMS TO BE AWARE OF....

Do you have a Freshman girl in High School? Well I do & I am soooo grateful that I have the relationship that I do with her up to now.

I have always tried to build a very good relationship with both of my daughters in the hopes that they can always know that they can count on me, talk to me about anything, know that I will have an open mind or try to and give them the best advice that I know how. I sit here thinking to myself how this was a story that needed to be told and I had to tell it before I went to bed tonight.

Well, today I was super grateful and I will tell you why....

Today, I went to drop off my oldest with a group of friends who gathered for a study group for there physics class. It was a group of 10 students who truly help each other out and am happy because it is a group of kids with very good grades. As I dropped off my oldest, I decided to have some mother/daughter bonding time with my 15-year old and go have pizza at a recently new pizza place in town. As we were sitting at the table, after we placed our order, she looked at me and told me "Mom, you know how I always tell you things?" And of course, I replied "Yes," as I was thinking inside of me "Oh No, what is she about to tell me & am I ready for it?" She proceeds to tell me "Well, today I decided that I really do not want to go & I am glad that you have not allowed me to go to the high school football games because I found out about a club called the Freshman 500". So I, of course, do not think much about it and ask her what is the Freshman 500. She then tells me that it's a club for boys to see who can have the most sex with girls Freshman year in high school and if they have it at a football game they will get more points and end up getting $500.

I was in shock. I was trying not to freak out totally in front of her thinking OMG!!! Then I had lost a bit of my appetite for pizza. Also, I thought..."DEAR GOD, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR HAVING HER FEEL SO COMFORTABLE WITH ME & BE SO HONEST & JUST TELL ME THINGS, EVEN THOUGH THEY PUT ME IN COMPLETE SHOCK & I MIGHT END UP HAVING A POSSIBLE HEART ATTACK"... Then I think to myself "$500?... Where would kids even get that kind of money?...Is this someone lying to her? Pulling a prank?... And for heavens name, the fact that they are even thinking of such things is horrible"

As we keep talking & I my ears are open completely wide & my mind & body are completely focused on this conversation with her, she tells me that this girl that she knows but stays away from, because the girl dresses inappropriate (which I love when she says that) and the girl also is very easy with boys & has already had sex with boys came up yelling, like happy but in shock, that she was part of the club. All I am thinking is "HUH?" Apparently this girl saw nothing wrong with the fact that she was one of the girls that one of the boys had sex with and was trying to reach the highest number. ONCE AGAIN, MY MIND IS SAYING "OMG...OMG...OMG" We proceed to have the conversation and of course, I talk to her & let her know how super proud I am of her & how grateful & happy that I am that she feels she can talk to me about these things. I then talk to her about how boys will say things just to see what they can get from a girl, how once a girl has a bad reputation everyone will know and if a person hangs out with a person like that then people will perceive to believe that everyone around that person is just as easy & the same. I explain to her about how the time is going to come that I will allow her to go to games and how careful she must be and never stay alone or go alone to the bathroom. How she can not trust or just be with a boy alone or her be the only girl in a group of boys and soooo much more. I am not sure if some of you may think it is a bit too much but I have always felt that I rather be honest and warn my daughters about the worse and have them think twice about an action. I always tell them every action has a consequence in everything in life and one must try to think very hard and what the worse might be before taking an action. I tell them, that is now and for the rest of there lives. That does not mean that mistakes will not be made, of course they will, but I explain how it just might save them from unwanted situations like with boys.

Now, regarding this Freshman 500 club. The fact that children, at the age of 15, are talking about this type of stuff is just scary. What happened to be kids and having fun in a descent way. Girls just thinking boys are cute and that is it. About if they might get a disease or even die from a disease. Do they not think how many others a person might be with. If they can become parents at a very young age. Apparently, not and it is very sad. I know I cannot fix the freshman class and the mentality of so many kids but I sure know that I will continue to try my best to talk to my girls, pray they make the right decisions, think before they act, share stories, try to open there eyes & continue every day of my life to talk, talk, talk and just let them know I am here for them. I am not sure if that is something that is happening in many other schools but I sure did not want to just stay quiet and not share this with any parent. Moms or dads. So parents, just be aware & try to talk more to your kids to find out what is going on in there high school. Now, I also want to let you know that my girls attend a very good public high school, in a very good area, with an amazing principal. I have no complaints about the actual school. I actually LOVE it. It just is shocking what teens these days talk about or think about and I think, we as parents, should just keep trying to find out what is going on in there worlds.

To me the coolest part after all of this was when I asked my daughter, "Munchkin, I want to be honest with you and ask you if it will be alright for me to share this story on my blog so other parents can know just in case?" and she answers...."Yes, mom. I think it would be a great idea because hopefully another mom can talk to her kids like you do with us and they will not do anything dumb and many moms will know this story so hopefully girls will not be so dumb".... and that was that!!!
