July - September 2012

“The only thing constant in life is change.”

- Francois de la Rochefoucauld

As I write this Editor’s letter, my family and several

of my friends are preparing for “graduations.”

We have children graduating from pre-school,

kindergarten, elementary school, middle school,

and even high school. All these children are

starting a new phase of their lives, and their parents are facing the changes as well. In

the past we have all made transitions --- from just being an adult to being someone’s

mommy, from being the parent of a nursing infant to trying to feed a picky eater toddler,

from delighting in the crawler to overseeing the walker, from listening to baby talk

to answering the non-stop questions of a curious pre-school child. There are always

changes, some large, some small, each season, each year.

The goal of Moms in the Know is to make navigating all of these transitions easier. We

fill our issues with information on great local businesses, fun-filled camps, helpful tips,

and articles about topics relevant to parents. We always want our readers’ input on

what they find helpful on their current stage. Please share your knowledge with us so

we can include it in a future issue of Moms in the Know. You can email us at info@

momsintheknow.com, call us at 843-573-4846,or join us on Facebook. Our Facebook

fans get up to the minute information and are eligible for fun contests and giveaways.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Moms in the Know and that it helps you navigate

whatever stage of parenthood you are in.

Rethink the Garage

Did you know that people are using their garage to meet all kinds of needs and

wants? Hobby Rooms, Flex Space, Workshops, Collectible Car Storage, Media Rooms,

Office Space, Art Studios, Gyms, Guest Suites and even parking the family car!

c u S T o M G a r a G E r E M o D E L i N G

custom Garage remodeling is becoming the fastest growing segment in the home

remodeling industry. Why? People’s lives are becoming cluttered with stuff and it

usually ends up being piled - Where? – That is right! In the garage! In recent years we

have seen the real estate market take quite a hit. This has resulted in families staying

put and upgrading the home they have. In the past, kitchens and bathrooms led the

charge in home remodeling. However, today we are seeing a trend develop where people

are considering the vast possibilities that their garage space has to offer.

if you simply need space to park your car, store collectibles, or organize the vast array of

stuff you have collected over the years here is a list of basic Diy things to consider:

F L o o r c o v E r i N G S

There are a lot of options when it comes to garage flooring. The purpose of the floor will

determine which product to use. Whether it is epoxy paint, a rubber mat or interlocking

tiles, my theory is, if you are proud of your floor then you will keep it clean. Not to

mention it makes the room look spectacular!

Rethink the Garage

c a B i N E T S a N D S H E L v i N G

When it comes to organization there is no better tool than shelving to control clutter.

cabinets do a great job of storing things you prefer not to be on display or lock away

possible hazardous items while offering a sleek design element to the garage.

W A L L O R G A n I z A T I O n S Y S T E M S

Walls are very valuable storage space and are often overlooked as storage possibilities.

Slatwall and accessories such as hooks, racks and bins offer a great way to get items up

off the floor and stored neatly. This makes your stuff easy to access when needed.

o v E r H E a D S T o r a G E

never underestimate the use of overhead storage for those larger items you seldom need

access to such as tarps, fishing poles and beach umbrellas or even perhaps hurricane

shutters.

The above referenced materials can be found at your local Lowes or Home depot.

T H E F I n A L F R O n T I E R

The garage offers so much more than we give them credit for. The Garage is the final

frontier in home remodeling and by far the most necessary.

Setting Limits on Screen Time


The world seems to be changing so rapidly----all of our lives are filled with things

that didn’t even EXIST just a few years ago. One in eight people on the planet are on

Facebook (including me). i used to fill albums with my photos -- now they are in my

computer, and i am learning to make scrapbooks through Shutterfly. Every morning

while I drink my tea I check out several blogs, and I can listen to a podcast on my long

walks. I am learning a lot, and I am enjoying developing my own relationship with new

technology. As a parent, though, I need to know how to handle the relationship my

children have with all of these exciting developments. There are studies that show

that violent video games alter brain activity in kids; there are parents who claim that

their teenage sons are addicted to video games. I’m alarmed by news stories about

cyber bullying and sexting. Bottom line, we don’t know what the impact of all the time

we spend on social media, games, and technology will be on our children-- we are all

making this up as we go along. We can’t possibly understand it all, but we have to do

our best to set age-appropriate limits -- and we need to start when our children are as

young as possible.

W H a T i S S c r E E N T i M E ?

Experts define “screen time” as the total time spent in front of screens of all kinds--Tvs,

laptops, phones, ipads, video games -- and other digital devices with a screen. A Kaiser

Family Foundation study reported in 2010 that children ages 8-18 spend an average of

almost 11 hours a day interacting with electronic media. This is an increase of three

S E T T I n G L I M I T S O n Screen Time

By caroline Baxter Lambert

H E a LT H y c H i L D r E N / H a P P y Fa M i Ly



hours a day since 2004. One very basic strategy for coping is to delay each electronic

purchase as long as possible. Put off the purchase of the x-box; don’t give a young teen

a cell phone until you deem it absolutely necessary. one mother of three has a rule: no

Facebook or cell phone until after 8th grade. Once you do make the decision to put this

new technology in the hands of your precious child, think of it like putting him behind

the wheel of a car -- he needs a big safety talk and a lot of supervision. communicate

and make rules. discuss safety, protecting identity, managing time, and setting

boundaries, and model this behavior yourself. Discuss cyber bullying and sexting. There

are many parental filters, apps, and programs to help, but start with your own rules.

How to Set LimitsP r E S c H o o L E r S

Preschoolers need dolls and blocks and dress up and drawing to develop their fine and

gross motor skills. an article in Psychology Today calls this kind of imaginative play the

fruits and vegetables of a preschooler’s diet. If you have small children, dole out time

for play on an ipad or your iphone in the same careful way you would allow sweets. The

american academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time to 1 to 2 hours per

day at this age. The time that is allowed -- whether it is games or Tv -- should be good

quality and geared specifically for a preschooler. Experts say not to use digital media

as a babysitter -- but we all know there are those times when we do. Try to make those

times few and far between.

S c H o o L a G E D c H i L D r E N

School aged children - children between the ages of around 6 and 11 are more willing

to have rules imposed on them than teen agers -- so make rules early and enforce them.

Let them know what is off limits -- for example, certain games you think are too violent,

movies rated PG 13. Setting firm rules and establishing good media habits means the

ground work is already in place when the world enlarges and texting and Facebook come

into play.



S E T T I M E L I M I T S

Set time limits. different families do this in different ways. Some use a timer to enforce

the limits. others require balancing online or video time with exercise or reading time.

One mom requires that a reading and math module on “Learning Today” be completed

before any game time. create incentives; make sure each child has chores that must be

completed before allowing screen time. Another mom lets children earn online time by

tallying up minutes; making beds is worth five minutes, cleaning out the litter box earns

ten minutes, and putting laundry away is worth fifteen.

At this age it is important for internet time to take place on a computer out in a public

room in your house, so that you can oversee what sites your child is on. Let your child

know that you will monitor the sites she visits on the internet. If you allow your child to

have an email account, be sure to check it occasionally, as well as the history of sites

visited on your family computer.

If you have a gaming system, screen games for violence and content. You can check

specific games for ratings given by the Entertainment Software rating Board. Encourage

games that can be played with others and use the body, like Wii and xbox Konnect .

If your child is interested in posting videos on YouTube, make sure she doesn’t use her

real name, or show things like names of locations or schools. Explain that you need to

watch videos before they can be posted. Mark videos private so only friends can watch,

and read safety tips posted by YouTube.

T E E n A G E R S

Teens - according to the Nielson company, the average teenager sends six texts

per waking hour. Set expectations for what is acceptable to you. one mom says, “i

absolutely do not tolerate texting or computer use when you should be in conversation

with anyone. This includes but is not limited to: at the table, in a restaurant, in the car

even as a passenger, unless the text is very brief and pertains to our errand, or we are on

a very long road trip.” Make sure that you also follow any rules you set. Another mom

has a rule that all cell phones go in the glove compartment when they get in the car.

She likes that the children aren’t distracted and are more open to conversations with

her, and she also says it helps her be a good example-- otherwise she is often tempted to

check an email or send a quick text. Explain that you know friends are important, but

during these specific times, the people you are with take priority.



On Facebook, it is important to be “friends” so you have access to your teen’s page,

and make sure to check privacy setting regularly. A mom with teen girls says, “I have

tried monitoring Facebook pages, but the content is inane for the most part, completely

benign when I have looked, and I don’t have the time or energy to stick with that kind of

vigilance . . . I just default to trusting them, which so far has worked for me.” In order

to have this kind of trust, it is important to the lay the groundwork, explaining why some

pictures should not be shared, and that people should be treated with the same kind of

consideration on a social network as they are in a real social situation.

E S T a B L i S H H o u r S a N D z o N E S T H a T W i L L B E T E c H N o L o G y F r E E

As our children grow, we lose the control we had had over their worlds. When they were

babies we could decide what kind of food, toys, experiences to offer them. Now you

need to come up with rules that work for you and your family. For example, you may

have decided not to allow a Tv in your child’s room; you may have banned Tv during

meals. Now you have to specify hours and zones where technology will not be allowed,

and respect these limits yourself as well. The dinner table is as obvious no technology

zone, and you may also want to extend that to bedrooms after a certain hour, having

everyone in the family leave phones in a designated place when going to bed.

Spend time with your child while you are unplugged. Amanda, the author of the blog

“High Impact Moms,” recommends instituting a regular time when the whole family

“unplugs.” Her family unplugs once a week every week, a whole weekend once a month,

and for week once a year.

in most other areas of parenting we have at least some experience from our own

childhoods. When my son struggles with math, I remember my own struggles and the

way my parents dealt with it. I can follow a similar course in my parenting or choose a

different one. We don’t have any background for dealing with all the new technology

that is so present in the way we interact with the world, but we have to come up with

our own personal game plan for how we allow it to be a part of our children’s lives.

Caroline Baxter Lambert likes to read, think, and write about parenting issues . She is the mother of two ever-evolving children .

bed times and wake up times the same

Here’s a great idea for the beach. Rinse a

gallon jug well and fill it with tap water. Leave

the water in your car while you are at the beach. Then you can

skip the cold, crowded showers and rinse your kid(s) with the

now warm water you have waiting in your car.

If you have a commute every morning with

your kids, keep a back up toothbrush and

toothpaste in your car. I let my kids brush their teeth on the

way to school and don’t have worry about them running

great for saving time, too.
