Snowballs & Sleds: Keeping our Kids Safe
For many children, the fun of winter centers around snow. As your
child
"bundles up" to greet the elements, please remember that the
brain needs
protection, too. The human brain is the most amazing and complex structure
in our universe. Billions of interlinked nerve cells, called neurons,
create
all thoughts and actions. The brain continues to develop through teenage
years, and it is of the utmost importance to protect it. When a child's
brain is injured, it does not heal like a broken bone or a skin
laceration.
The brain does not repair itself. When neurons are damaged, they stop
functioning.
A traumatic brain injury occurs every 15 seconds in the United
States,
resulting in 5.3 million Americans living with a disability. This is an
alarming statistic, when you consider that the population of Chicago is 3
million. Relating this to children, head injury is the leading cause of
death. Each year more than one million children sustain brain injuries
classified from mild to severe.
Brain injury is often referred to as the "silent
epidemic." There is a
widespread lack of public awareness about what brain injury is and how it
can be prevented. The only known cure for brain injury is prevention.
Throwing snowballs is a natural outdoor game for children.
Snowballs
should be made from soft snow, since icy snow can cause puncture wounds or
skin lacerations. The head should never be the target. Also, instruct your
child to never place a stone inside a snowball, or to throw with force.
Sledding accidents often result from poor control, resulting in
collisions
with stationary objects such as trees, fences, cars, or buildings. It
important to first walk the slope before sledding, inspecting the hill for
hidden dangers such as rocks, tree stumps, or protruding branches. Parents
should teach children to:
. Never sled head first! Sled in a forward facing sitting position,
with
feet first.
. Choose hills that have a flat end for stopping,
. Wear protective accessories, including a helmet, gloves, and
boots.
. Sled on snow covered slopes, not icy ones.
. Sled away from buildings, roads, and other inanimate objects.
. Learn to steer and use breaks on small hills, before moving onto
steeper
slopes.
. If using a snow tube, be sure to use hand holds. This prevents
bouncing
or sliding off.
For additional information about Winter Safety for Children, or other head
injury prevention programs, phone the Brain Injury Association at
800-321-7037, or visit www.biausa.org.

I have recently been contacted by The itsy bitsy Entertainment Company in
New York City. This company represents the Teletubbies. They are planning
an
exercise outreach, which will attempt to incorporate exercise into the
lives
of preschoolers.
Teletubbies Get Up and Go! 1st Annual Exercise Day
Preschools around the country will have the opportunity to participate in
the 1st Annual Teletubbies Exercise Day on March 20th 2001. This
event is
endorsed by the International Prince's Youth Sport Trust, Kids First,
Healthy Child Care, American Center for Children and Media, National
Association of Sports and Physical Education, and Project Aces.
The schools that elect to participate will receive the following for free:
- A kit printed, packed and shipped to pre-schools
- 26 min. Go! video with specific exercises for children to follow along
- 4-color poster with reproducible information created by the National
Association of Sports and Physical Education on back.
- Coupons for opportunity to purchase t-shirts. The first 5,000
schools to
submit orders of 10 or more t-shirts will receive a free Teletubbies
Nursery
Rhymes CD.
They estimate that approximately 25,000 schools (350,000 children) will
participate. The program will also be broadcast on PBS with a
3-minute
introduction by the creators of Teletubbies, potentially reaching another
1.5 million children nationwide. They are looking forward to holding this
event in years to come!
I have already signed up for my kit. It sounds like it will be fun. If you
would like a FREE kit, please fax your information to them directly so
that
they can mail the kits to you...
This is what they need:
Name of school
Contact teacher name
Address
City, State, Zip
Phone
Fax
Email
Please fax the information to Susan Chung, fax # 212 741 9493
Important! Please note the deadline to join is: January 19th

Hello,
Well one week in and so far so good. I have kept my New Years
resolution
for this month. I resolved to at least add one new theme to the site a
month. Well so far this month you got two. Of course I will be filling in
more ideas in each theme as time goes on. And your ideas are always
welcome.
Don't forget to check to enter the Sesame Street contest mentioned
at the
top of the page. You can also get to it from the front page of Preschool
Education .Com. Use these links everyday. I know I will. I would love to
see
the sesame street set. What a once in a life time chance for a preschool
teacher.
Enjoy,
Christa
