The Florida Department of Health, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Get Outdoors Florida! are proud to announce the 2015 renewal and expansion of the Nature Play “Prescription” Program. Created in 2014, the program was designed to increase healthy activity for children and their families through access to Florida’s award winning state parks.

“Nature Play “Prescription” is a great opportunity for Florida families to get outside, get active and enjoy our outstanding state parks,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “This collaboration is a great example of state agencies working together for Florida’s families in an effort to improve the health of families, residents and communities.”

As part of the program, healthcare professional’s give out “prescriptions” that offer children and their families free one-time entry into a state park. Nature Play “Prescription” began last year as a pilot with 10,000 “prescriptions” distributed across 47 counties, and this year the program is expanding to 25,000 “prescriptions” that will be distributed across 51 counties.

“While in a park, “prescription” recipients can hike a path, swim in a river, ride a bike, play on a playground or join in many other forms of resource-based recreation,” said Donald Forgione, director of the Florida Park Service. “They will create a lifelong link between physical activity, nature and health.”

The Nature Play “Prescription” Program offers opportunities for children and families to increase physical activity and represents the most recent effort of Healthiest Weight Florida. For more information about Healthiest Weight Florida, visit http://www.healthiestweightfl.com.

The Florida Department of Health has confirmed a local case of measles in an unvaccinated six- year-old child in St. Lucie County. Local health officials immediately notified the St. Lucie School District superintendent and are working closely with district staff to limit any potential exposure and protect the community. Measles is a serious respiratory disease caused by a virus of the same name (Measles). The disease is highly contagious and can spread to others who are unvaccinated. Interviews by the health department are underway to identify all potential contacts and exposures.

“I encourage all residents and visitors to protect themselves, their families and their communities by getting vaccinated,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “Measles is a very serious disease, yet thankfully, we have a safe and proven method to prevent measles through vaccination.”

The Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) shot is the best way to protect against measles. Those who are fully immunized have very little risk of developing measles. Ideally, children should receive two doses, the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at four to six years of age. Children and adults who have not ever received MMR vaccine in the past should also get vaccinated. Pregnant women should talk with their doctors about vaccination as there are serious risks associated with measles and unborn babies.

The symptoms of measles generally begin approximately seven to 14 days after a person is exposed to someone with measles, and include the following:

Blotchy rash Fever Cough Runny nose Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis) Feeling run down, achy (malaise)

Tiny white spots with bluish-white centers found inside the mouth (Koplik’s spots) People who develop these symptoms should contact their health care provider right away. Measles is spread through the air by infectious droplets and is highly contagious. It can be transmitted from four days before the rash becomes visible to four days after the rash appears.

Adolescents and adults may require two doses of MMR, people with underlying health conditions should discuss additional booster doses with their health care provider to determine need. The department encourages all Floridians who have not been immunized to get vaccinated immediately.

Measles is very rare in countries and regions of the world that are able to keep vaccination coverage high. There are still sporadic cases of measles in the United States because visitors from other countries or U.S. citizens traveling abroad can become infected before or during travel and spread the infection to unvaccinated or unprotected persons.

For more information about measles and vaccination information, go to http://www.flhealth.gov or www.cdc.gov/measles/index.html. Residents who have questions about measles or how to get vaccinated are encouraged to call their local county health department. A complete listing of county health departments is available at www.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/county-health-departments/find-a-county-health-department/index.html

What happened to the days when kids played outside until dinnertime? In today's world,

children spend an unprecedented amount of time in structured activities and in front of a screen. This summer why not get your kids outside and engaged in the outdoors by throwing a garden party. Grab your family, friends, and neighbors and plan for a day of fun in your own backyard. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Get Your Hands Dirty

Let your guests start their own seedlings. Provide them with plastic cups with holes poked in the bottom or small terra cotta pots, potting soil and a variety of seeds to plant. Ask everyone to pitch in a bit and help get your garden started for the season. Or make it a progressive gardening party and move on to other houses and help with their gardens. Many hands make the work fast and fun. Be sure to have the necessary gardening tools available including a spade, shovel, rake, trowel, and watering can. Provide smaller gardening tools for pint-sized participation.

Craft Some Garden Fun

Create unique flower pots by decorating

the outside with acrylic paint, markers or stickers. Collect or purchase smooth rocks to paint with special words or pictures. Let your guests brings their rocks home to place in their gardens. Buy a garden mosaic kit at a local craft store and create a unique keepsake with kids' handprints, colorful glass and stones. Put together bird seed packets or wreaths for everyone to bring home to feed the birds in their own yards. Provide materials for older kids to make-their-own birdhouses. Or provide a few plain ones already made and ready for decoration. Get some pipe cleaners and colorful tissue paper to make paper flowers.

Picnic in Your Backyard

One of the pleasures of warm weather is eating outside. Serve your guests sandwiches cut into shapes with seasonal cookie cutter designs. Let the kids decorate flower, butterfly, bunny or bird sugar cookies. And of course provide a nice platter of veggies arranged in garden rows with some favorite dipping sauces. Offer worms in the dirt for the daring: small cups of chocolate pudding mixed with crushed Oreos and gummy worms.

Go on a Hunt

Send the kids searching around your backyard for bugs. Provide jars with holes poked in the

top as bug catchers. Provide a plastic magnifying glass so they can view their catch up close before releasing back into nature. A few days ahead, make craft butterflies to clip onto branches and leaves in your yard. Give the kids butterfly nets for a pretend butterfly hunt.

Help Others

Volunteer as a group to help an elderly neighbor with their yard cleanup or to work in their garden. Help a local organization with outdoor

clean up around your community. Whether it's picking up trash in a park or planting flowers in the parkway, it will add beauty to your local surroundings. In the spirit of May Day, secretly hang a basket of flowers on the door knob of a neighbor's house. But don't let them catch you!

Write It Down

Provide plain notebooks for everyone to decorate and take home as their own garden journals. It's a good way to keep track of what's been planted and how everything is growing. You can list your favorite plants and write down anything new you discover. You can also note new ideas for next year's garden.

Celebrate Your Bounty

Buy and plant a birthday tree for each of your kids. On their birthdays, chart the growth of each child along with that of "their" tree. Consider planting a mango, orange or other native fruit tree and enjoy its harvest each year. Plant seeds your kids will enjoy tending, picking and maybe even eating like carrots, corn, tomatoes, pumpkins and sunflowers.

So get outside and throw a garden party this season. Once your planting is done, encourage your kids to tend their garden every day. They'll watch their plants grow and enjoy outdoor beauty they helped create.

Honesty – and dishonesty – are learned in the home. Moms and dads are often concerned when their child or teenager lies.

Lying that is probably not a serious problem—

Young kids (ages 4-5) often make up stories and tell tall tales. This is normal activity because they enjoy hearing stories and making up stories for fun. These young kids may blur the distinction between reality and fantasy.

An older child or teenager may tell a lie to be self-serving (e.g. avoid doing something or deny responsibility for their actions). Moms and dads should respond to isolated instances of lying by talking with the youngster about the importance of truthfulness, honesty and trust.

Some adolescents discover that lying may be considered acceptable in certain situations such as not telling a boyfriend or girlfriend the real reasons for breaking up because they don't want to hurt their feelings. Other adolescents may lie to protect their privacy or to help them feel psychologically separate and independent from their parents (e.g. denying they sneaked out late at night with friends).

Lying that may indicate emotional problems—

Some kids, who know the difference between truthfulness and lying, tell elaborate stories which appear believable. Kids or adolescents usually relate these stories with enthusiasm because they receive a lot of attention as they tell the lie.

Other kids or adolescents, who otherwise seem responsible, fall into a pattern of repetitive lying. They often feel that lying is the easiest way to deal with the demands of parents, educators and friends. These kids are usually not trying to be bad or malicious but the repetitive pattern of lying becomes a bad habit.

There are also some kids and adolescents who

are not bothered by lying or taking advantage of others. Other adolescents may frequently use lying to cover up another serious problem. For example, an adolescent with a serious drug or alcohol problem will lie repeatedly to hide the truth about where they have been, who they were with, what they were doing, and where the money went.

What to do if your child or teenager lies—

Moms and dads are the most important role

models for their kids. When a child or teenager lies, parents should take some time to have a serious talk and discuss alternatives to lying the difference between make believe and reality, lying and telling the truth the importance of honesty at home and in the community

If a child or teenager develops a pattern of lying which is serious and repetitive, then professional help may be indicated. Evaluation by a child and adolescent psychiatrist would help the child and parents understand the lying behavior and would also provide recommendations for the future.

Lies come out of kid's mouths for a variety of reasons:

Because she is imaginative and the truth is boring.

By mistake. Sometimes lies seem almost involuntary, and a lie just slips out, especially if your child gets caught in a misdeed. (“Who broke the antique chair? “I didn't!”) Then, soon enough, it's Sir Walter Scott: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!”

Fear. When kids are scared of the consequences of their actions, they often lie to cover up. (Are the rules too strict? Are the limits too tight? Does your child feel free to talk with you?)For love, for approval, and because kids like to impress people quickly and effectively.To avoid an unpleasant task. (“Did you brush your teeth?” “Yes, Dad!”)

To protect somebody else.

Lie Prevention Techniques—

No, you can't keep your kids from lying, but you can make lying a less rewarding activity. Many lies come from self-protection, and you

can help by not creating a situation where your kid feels pressured to lie or suffer the consequences. Here are a few suggestions:Before you talk with your kid about a lie he's told, make sure that he did lie. A false accusation, or not believing a child when he is telling the truth, can devastate.

Don't cross-examine (“After you left school, which route did you take home? And this was at precisely 3:10 p.m.?”), forget the fierce white lights and the sleep deprivation techniques. Remember that the object of talking with your child is to communicate. Grilling will make him close down, not open up, to you.

Don't reprimand your child for telling the truth.Keep the conversation focused on what happened or what the problem is, rather than casting blame.

Lies are easy to slip into, and even easier to compound themselves, lie upon lie. Many kids slip into lying as painlessly as sliding into warm, tropical ocean water. It's more painful getting out (shiver, shiver).

Looking for the positive intent? Lies are a misguided survival technique.The truth is hard to tell. It's risky to confess (and risk is always hard). If your child confesses

a misdeed to you, you need to 1) thank him for the truth, and give him positive reinforcement for his bravery and his sense of ethics, and then 2) deal with the misdeed by applying appropriate consequences. Doing step 2 but not step 1 is as bad a mistake as doing step 1 without step 2. He needs to have positive feedback for telling the truth and he needs consistent consequences. The positive feedback will make the consequence easier to take,

and help build his ethical sense.

When your kid has misbehaved, don't trap him into a lie, or set him up in a no-win situation. Confronting him with leading questions is more likely to elicit a lie than talking calmly with him about what happened. If Tony comes home with a black eye and you scream at him, “I swear I will kill you if you got into a fight! Did you fight today?” you are putting Tony into a situation where he's either got to lie (“Oh no, I walked into a wall.” “Oh honey, get an ice pack for that”) or face your wrath. A better approach would be, “Oh my! What happened? Let's sit down.”

Seven Quick Steps to Dealing with a Lie—

Discovering your youngster has lied can be quite distressing. Lies are often an additional layer of misbehavior (the child misbehaves, and then lies about it) and it's this layer that often makes moms and dads go ballistic. (“I'm furious that you stole my silver coin collection and bought candy with it, but the fact that you lied to me about it, too, well, I can't stand it!”) If you've discovered a lie (“layered” or simple), try this:

Breathe, run around the block, take 10, calm down. Take as long as you need to take in order to deal with the situation, not the lie, or the fact that your youngster wasn't honest with you.

Focus on the misbehavior, not the lie your youngster used to cover it up. Give her the benefit of the doubt (she may be caught in a compound lie).

If you don't want a youngster who lies, don't label her a liar. Kids tend to internalize the labels we give them.

Once the situation she lied about is resolved, talk with her about the problems lying can cause. Knowledge (and your obvious disapproval) will help her avoid lying in the future.

Talk about values, and let her know that you don't value lying.

Talk with your youngster. Let her know that you aware of the truth. (Be as calm and level-voiced as possible.)

A few years ago my husband and I decided to take a small space in the very corner of our yard and transform it into a raised garden. The space was already fenced in, because once upon a time it contained some grass and a small plastic playground where I could corral my four small children to play.

As it turns out, the kids area was never used much. It had an annoying plot of lawn that needed to be mowed. My mother suggested I turned it into a raised bed garden and immediately I knew that this was the perfect useful solution to the corner space of unused property in my yard. Three reasons why raised garden beds are a great for my family because:

1) Fruit from the grocery store generally leaves me wanting more and it is expensive – especially organic produce. The raised garden beds provide us fresh fruit and vegetables all year round for a family of six.

2) It’s important for kids to get their hands directly in the soil and be involved in the process of learning where our food comes from.

3) I have total control over my garden so I know there will not be chemicals. The debate continues on whether GMO is bad for consumption, but it doesn’t matter in my garden because there is no GMO. The process of building your own raised garden is simple. I will break down the building of a garden in six simplified steps.

Step 1: Designing The GardenFirst we needed a design for an odd shaped space in our yard where the garden would grow. We brought in our neighbor who is an engineer to help conceptualize the best use of space. He designed four raised box planters to maximize the space. The choices you make here will dictate whether you spend $200 or $1,000. Cheap lumber or natural redwood? Nails or galvanized screws? Irrigation or hand water? We decided to go for quality in materials, which cost us more money. We opted to use untreated redwood planks that is more expensive but redwood is known to withstand weather and the test of time. Treated redwood looks prettier, but you don’t want the chemicals of the treated wood seeping into your beautiful organic garden.

Galvanized screws are more expensive than the alternative but will last longer and are worth the investment. Nails will rust over time.

Mesh for the bottom of the boxes to prevent animals from coming up and eating our plants.

Gravel to layer below the mesh to help with

drainage.

Irrigation adds to the cost of the project but offers a lifetime of convenience to your garden.

Many online blogs suggest concrete to cement the posts into the ground. We found this time-consuming step unnecessary so we opted not to do this and it has worked out great. Step 3: Building simple boxesWe took a simple approach to building our boxes screwing three six inch planks to 4×4 posts gave us a solid structure and ample height for our garden. Step 4: Dirt Matters

We splurged with our soil and chose Super O organic soil. With the organic soil, we also added in one half of a bag of Llama manure

to each raised bed as a fertilizer. The cost difference between using fill dirt and good organic soil was several hundred dollars. This is where you can save money because non-organic fill is dirt-cheap. Step 5: Watering System My husband did a lot of research on whether to use a drip system or sprinklers or nothing at all. There is plenty of debate on the best approach to watering a garden. WE built an irrigation system that would allow for micro-sprinklers or drip depending on the needs of our garden.

Step 6: Planning The PlantsFind a local nursery that will talk to you about your climate and which plants will do best together in a raised bed.

Here is what we came up with:Bed #1: The Bruschetta Bed. This bed is made of six tomato plants. There are heirloom tomatoes, little Sungold tomatoes, and a big prolific beefsteak tomato. In between all of the tomatoes are basil and parsley plants.Bed #2: The Vegetable/Pepper Bed. This bed has cucumbers and zucchini; red and yellow bell peppers, and a jalapeño plant.Bed #3: The Melon Bed. This bed has two watermelon plants and two cantaloupe plants. We couldn’t plant too many in this bed because the melon plants spread and get very big.Bed #4: The Bean, Corn and Butter Lettuce Bed. I planted 12 corn stalks and four bean vines in this bed. I filled in some empty space along the edge of the box with six butter lettuce plants.

Each bed has a marigold plant in each corner for a natural way to keep insects off of my fruits and vegetables. There is something exhilarating about growing your own organic fruits and vegetables. Every time I see a new bud about to burst into its fruit, it reminds me of life, health and self-sufficiency. The entire project cost around $1,000 from start to finish. You can definitely build your own raised garden for cheaper, but we are happy with the end result.It’s well known that the healthiest and most sustainable way to buy produce is to buy local. It doesn’t get more local than your own backyard. Find some unused space in your yard, rip out that water-wasting lawn and build yourself a raised bed garden.

Few parents know what to expect when their child enters the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of a hospital.

Although a traumatic situation can be confusing and overwhelming, the PICU provides a sick child with the highest possible medical care from a specially trained group of pediatric critical care specialists who carefully monitor each patient with technology, medications, and treatments that are only available in the PICU and are specifically designed for children and adolescents.

What is the PICU? The PICU is the part of a hospital that provides critically ill children and adolescents with the highest level of medical care. A PICU’s medical team is usually lead by a pediatric intensivist, a doctor who has an additional three years of pediatric residency and another three years in intensive care fellowship training. Other team members may consist of physicians assistants, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists, social workers, child life specialists, family advocates, case managers and subspecialists, such as cardiologists and neurosurgeons. What Medical Cases are Admitted to the PICU?

Children who need acute medical care or treatment are admitted to the PICU. These include children who have undergone major surgery, suffered serious injuries, have severe infections, breathing difficulties, heart problems, or are undergoing complex tests and treatments that need close monitoring. What to Expect at the PICU: When a child is first admitted to the PICU, team members attend to his or her immediate needs. Once a child is settled-in and evaluated, team members are able to explain their condition, and a planned course of action to parents or other family members. Parents should use this time to ask any questions they

may have about their child’s condition and care.

A PICU’s medical team will usually meet every morning to discuss each child’s medical case in detail and to assess short and long-term goals. If a hospital’s PICU practices family-centered care, parents will be allowed to participate in their child’s daily rounds, will be included throughout the collaboration process, will have direct access to team members, and unrestricted visiting hours. In addition, families may be taught resuscitation and other training techniques to help administer care when a child is discharged.

Equipment in the PICU:The technology and equipment found in the PICU can be overwhelming, but are vital to monitoring a child’s condition and keeping them as comfortable as possible.

• Almost all children in the PICU are fitted with an intravenous catheter, or IV, which fluids and medications are administered through

• Children in the PICU are attached to electronic monitors that transmit a child’s heart rate and rhythm, breathing, blood pressure and other essential measurements

• If a child needs extra help to breathe, they may need an oxygen mask, or may be connected to a ventilator through a breathing tube. While the breathing tube is connected to a child’s windpipe, they will receive proper sedation or pain medication

• Sedation equipment may be used to calm an anxious child, or during medical treatments. A PICU’s medical team is specially trained to manage a child’s sedation treatment Making a PICU Stay More Comfortable:

A child may only need to stay at a PICU for a day, or a few. Some cases are more complex and may require weeks or even months of

intensive care. In order to make a child’s stay as calming and personalized as possible, family members should bring in a child’s favorite toys, movies, and books, as well as family photographs. Ask family and friends to send mail, cards and other get-well-soon messages.

Discharge from the PICU:From the PICU, children may either be sent home directly, or are transferred to another area of the hospital for follow-up care. PICU team members work closely with pediatricians, physicians and other subspecialties to ensure that a child’s medical condition and care is thoroughly communicated during their stay. Upon discharge, a detailed overview of a child’s stay and any needed follow-up care is provided to a child’s primary doctor. About Pediatric Critical Care of South Florida Pediatric Critical Care of South Florida (PCCSF) is a group of leading pediatric intensivists and hospitalists who are board-certified and fellowship-trained in pediatrics and pediatric critical care medicine. They currently operate the pediatric critical care unit (PICU) facility at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. For more information, please visit www.pccsf.com or call (954) 454-5131.

At The Salt Suite, little ones don’t notice the therapy, and that’s the point. Just imagine if mom or dad had to explain to their child that they were going for treatment of their asthma or allergies. Images of a sterile doctor’s office, needles and nurses would come to mind. But when going to The Salt Suite, parents only need ask, “Are you ready to go play?” The salt therapy room for children is cleverly disguised as a wonderful playroom, complete with games, toys and puzzles. Boys and girls enjoy walking and playing in the mounds of dry salt that is aiding their respiratory systems. They enjoy the smell, and even the taste, of the dry salt aerosol that is being circulated throughout the room by a special machine, called a Halogenerator. While they play, the children are receiving a painless, undetectable, yet thoroughly effective form of therapy. The Salt Suite is one of a growing number of salt therapy locations that are giving parents an option for managing their children’s asthma, allergies, bronchitis, cold/flu prevention and sinusitis. The therapy also assists with skin disorders, cystic fibrosis and ear infections. The session itself is a time for parents to relax, while their children interact in a calm, safe and convenient location. Inside the therapy room, an environment is

Jennifer Martinez

created to mimic the salt mines of Eastern Europe, where in the mid-1800s, it was discovered that mine workers rarely suffered from any respiratory disorders. Unrefined rock salt, which is primarily sodium chloride and other mineral salts, coats the walls and covers the floor. When the dry sodium chloride enters the body, its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties do a number of healing maneuvers. Lung functions improve; nasal passages and lung tracts clear of toxins and pollutants and bronchial inflammation reduces. During a treatment, client may cough, as their sinuses begin to clear and open.

“The benefits and effectives of halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, continue to be researched,” said Jessica Helmer, owner of the Salt Suite. “So much information exists to support our belief that this is a great treatment choice for those who suffer from allergy and respiratory problems.” With two locations in Delray Beach and Lake Worth, The Salt Suite welcomes adults and children to their

customized therapy rooms. Adults enjoy recliners with accompanying spa music in their room, which is completely separated from the children’ play environment. Pricing can be customized for continual sessions, memberships or individual treatments. The first session is free. To learn more, visit www.TheSaltSuite.com or call 561-440-HALO (4256). William’s tale: When Roxy Carlson of Boynton Beach brought her son, William Carlson, 5, to The Salt Suite, he had been diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Surgery had been recommended by an ENT specialist. After using The Salt Suite about four times a week for one month, William's tonsils were no longer enlarged, and he no longer required surgery. Roxy brings William for treatment once a week for maintenance, and his breathing remains normal.

Play Equals Wellness at The Salt Suite


Popovers, French toast, bacon and salad. That was the Mother’s Day menu at my house one year when my daughters were small. That was the year I abandoned my family for the day, walked away from responsibility for five hours, and let them fend for themselves.

My children, ages three, six and nine, were determined to prepare a surprise dinner in my absence. Already, as I headed for the door, they had pulled our collection of children’s cookbooks from the shelves and spread them across the kitchen floor. My husband, his repertoire limited to baked potatoes, chicken breasts and steamed broccoli, eyed the cookbooks with a mixture of apprehension and resignation as he kissed me goodbye and shooed me out of the house.

Snug on a couch at a coffee shop twenty minutes later, I cradled a cup of herbal tea in my hands and watched the steam swirl up and disappear. The tea tasted faintly of guilt. For Mother’s Day my most fervent wish was to get away from my children. True, I didn’t require flowers or an elaborate family excursion. Reservations for a river cruise were not on my wish list. I also did not want to be

left alone for a quiet afternoon in my house where the voices of laundry, dishes and dust bunnies would call to me irresistibly, not unlike

the voices of my children.

I’d spent the past nine years as a passionate adherent to all things attachment parenting. My children had clung to me, hung from me, swathed in vibrant slings. They had snuggled close in my bed at night and nursed until they each

finally gave it up shortly before the age of two. Now my breasts were my own, and the littlest

one had given up both diapers and sleeping in our bed. The endless days of rocking and nursing and carrying, wondering where I ended and my children began had come to a close. But each of my days and most of my nights were devoted to meeting their needs and creating a nurturing and engaging environment for them. My life revolved around my family and there was

scant space for anyone else, including myself. Parenting experts talk about newborns being unable to differentiate themselves from their mothers. I was only beginning to rise out of the mist, stumbling my way toward being more than a mom.

Mother’s Day became my day off and was my first step on a path of finding me again. I needed to remember who I’d been before children, and discover who I wanted to be. Not that those thoughts were in my mind then. I only knew a strong desire to escape, yet here I was at a coffee shop, worrying that I should miss my family more.

Later in the afternoon, I looked up from my tea and knitting and saw a woman sitting across from me, on the other side of a low table spread with newspapers. Two young men sat on either side of her. When they got up to order at the counter, I spoke to her.

“Are those your sons?” I asked.

“Yes,” she said, glancing toward them with a smile. “They’re home from college.”

“I look forward to the day when spending Mother’s Day with my kids will be a treat.” I said. “Now they are little, so the treat is in not being with them.”

This woman, older than me, younger than my mother, nodded. “I remember when it was like that.”

Some of my guilt lifted away like the steam from my cup. Each day as a parent, circumstances are changing. Just as my children move through different developmental milestones, so do I. Single-minded devotion has given way to a more balanced parenting style as I’ve grown and as my children’s needs have changed.

I arrived home at dinner time to a meal I never would have prepared. The menu made up of foods my husband felt safe creating with three miniature chefs. The girls danced around me and pulled me to my seat at the table, eager for me to share in this repast. I was glad to be home, my family had survived without me and I realized there was space in our relationship for me to grow alongside my children.
