It’s almost here! The time of year children dream about while they sit at their desks, eyes glazed, glaring at their teacher. Summer. What every child looks forward to. Three months of fun and sun, and NO homework! Make sure summer 2012 is the best one yet for your child, sending them back to school energized and ready to tackle the next school year. But before you do, here are the top 10 pool toys expected to fly off the shelves for 2012!

Does your child love sea life? Are turtles, sharks, and dolphins among their favorite animals? Then your child is sure to love our top 4 picks for 2012.

Available in a variety of animal shapes, including a classic dolphin, a fun shaped turtle, and realistic squid (complete with tentacles!). Your child will be amazed as they watch these sub bugs zip around the water.

2 – Topedo sharks. If sharks are your child’s favorite sea critter, be sure to snag one of these for the 2012 summer! Torpedo sharks dive and rise just like a real shark! Toss one into the water and watch it “dive” down and rise with a fin cutting through the water.

Is Watching TV Bad For Healthy Kids And Their Food Choices?

Denise — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:39:40 +0000

I just read in the “Chicago Tribune” via Reuters, that children’s TV time is tied to unhealthy food choices. Does this mean kids that watch television are not healthy kids?

The complete story is here Kids’ TV Time Tied To Unhealthy Food Choices. According to the article, kids that watch a lot of television tend to be less healthy and choose snacks such as chips and soda and less fruits and vegetables. Bottom line it seems that kids are more likely to take a bag of chips versus an apple while they are watching TV. From my seat, nothing has changed since the invention of TV.

When growing up in the 60′s, believe it or not we had only 3 channels AND we had to get up and change those 3 channels. On Friday evenings after dinner, we would sit down together and watch a show such as Brady Bunch or Patridge Family. Yes, we had chips and soda. BUT the difference between then and now is that we would have been outside playing with our friends until the street lights came on and our chips and soda would have been one time a week not every day.

Healthy Food Choices For Healthy Kids

When a child watches TV for long periods of time, yes, they may gain weight by eating junk and not getting as much exercise. TV commercials targeting kids are all about the kids meals, candy, cookies and whatever else can be squeezed into the expensive 30 second spots. However, when a child is young, the parent is the one that is bringing the food into the house. The child is not going to local grocery store and buying soda, candy, and chips. It is the parent.

It is important to keep everything in perspective including how much time a child watches television. Is watching television bad? Absolutely not. Is eating chips every so often a bad thing? No, as long as it is not every single day. Parents need to step up and take control of what their child is doing including their free time. Kids will be kids and if they have access to chips, candy and soda with no restrictions, they absolutely will eat them.

Take time and talk to your kids about their food choices and why it is better for them to eat a banana instead of a cookie. Also be sure to explain to them that TV is not a bad thing but there are other activities just as important like riding a bike or playing in the yard with some outdoor toys. Balance is the key.
