As grocery shopping gets more expensive these days, it’s becoming more important now to stick to the basics when you’re planning your meals, making your list, and shopping in the market. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have great suggestions on how to stretch the dollar without sacrificing health, which includes keeping simple nutrient-rich staples in your pantry. The top three staples they recommend to have in your pantry include oats, beans, and canned tomatoes. Can you guess the rest?

If we ignore our hunger, fullness, or any cues in between, we eventually won’t feel them at all. It is important for us to stay in-tune with these signals during meal and snack times by checking in with how food is affecting your body and emotions. However, remaining mindful throughout the day can be even more difficult; try out some of these tips and activities with your kids to practice such an important and transferrable skill.

Swim Safely this Summer
 
Did you know drowning is the #1 cause of injury-related death for children ages 1-4? Find the best recommendations for optimizing safety at the pool from Children’s Health below.
 
  1. CHECK to make sure you have the right equipment and are taking precautions around your own personal pool.
  2. TEACH your children how to swim properly by enrolling them in quality sim lessons.
  3. WATCH so closely when your children are in or around a pool area. Most drownings occur with an adult nearby.
  4. NEVER JUMP in to rescue a struggling child in the pool or lake because the person in trouble will typically and accidentally pull the rescuer down in panic. Instead, throw out a flotation devise or use a pole/noodle to reach them.
