Page 15 In the past smoke detectors were supposed to be placed on every level of the home, in the hall outside of every bedroom. The law now requires that all new buildings/homes have electric smoke detectors hardwired into the home's electrical system. The good thing about the new smoke detectors is that when one goes off-they all go off. They should be placed INSIDE bedrooms, as opposed to outside in the hall as in the past. For homes where the older, battery-operated smoke detectors are still in use, be sure that you know how the smoke detector works. Does it beep when batteries are low? How do you know it's in good working order? Extra batteries for smoke detectors should be on hand at all times.
Page 122 When child do not eat well, or they avoid particular food groups completely, supplements should be considered. Over the counter multivitamins have bee used almost exclusively, however whole food multivitamins are more nutrient-rich. However, care should be taken to endure that children are not receiving more than the recommended amount of certain vitamins. Vitamins that are non-soluble can be harmful. One creative way to endure children are getting enough nutrients is to use a "juicer." Juicers are machines that grind fruits and vegetables into liquid. The juice of raw fruits and some vegetables can be added to store-bought fruit juice or used to make frozen treats that taste very sweet. Juices can be added to gravies, or any recipe that requires liquid. Juicers are a wonderful way to ensure that children get vitamins and minerals they need.
Page 229 LOSS: is a painful yearning and a deep sense of loneliness. Loss can be described as a crushing blow or a sense of inadequacy and can evoke a broad range of feelings that are difficult to cope with. Ultimately, what determines the impact of loss is the significance of that which is lost.
