Internet Safety For Eugene Kids

May 18th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Internet Safety For Eugene Kids

No Eugene parent wants their child to be exposed to Internet pornography, however, this tragedy occurs everyday. Why is there such a disconnect?

Some Eugene parents may not realize that their young child can navigate the computer like a pro. Others may believe that their child would never go looking for inappropriate material.

If you think your Portland kids are too young to worry about it, don’t be so sure. Oregon parents continue to report that they found out too late that their child was exposed. I urge you to take precautions now.

With Internet pornography increasing everyday and young people succumbing to this cybermonster, Portland parents wonder what they can do to prevent this from ever happening to their kids.

This advice bears repeating: Eugene parents should put the computer in an open area so that it can be monitored. In addition, many forms of web protection are available for free. Though it is time-consuming, Eugene parents would be wise to only allow their child use the Internet with Mom or Dad present.

Talk to your kids and ask them if they have encountered Internet pornography. Ask them what they did or what they would do in such a situation. Though this is a secondary concern: explain to them that certain web pages and ‘pop ups’ contain viruses that can damage the computer. Open communication is essential.

If your Eugene children have encountered pornography, perhaps at a friend’s house, emphasize its destructive nature and teach them that what they saw is degrading to men, women, and healthy relationships. Internet pornography is a plague with many Eugene victims, including children. It is up to Eugene parents and youth leaders to help Eugene children be safe online.

My name is Pat Parsons and I care about Internet safety for Eugene kids. For more information about child raising topics, or to hear about a new healthy kids snack, contact me today at parsonschocolate@gmail.com.

Artificial Sweeteners And Your Eugene Child

May 17th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Artificial Sweeteners And Your Eugene Child When Eugene parents try to limit sugar in their children’s diets, they often turn to sugar substitutes. There are dozens of sweetening options available.

NutraSweet, Splenda, Equal, Sweet’N Low, Xylitol, Sorbitol, highly refined Stevia (Truvia, Pure Via) possible benefits:
May help kid’s consume fewer calories
Doesn’t contribute to tooth decay
Generally safe for Eugene children with diabetes (check with your doctor)

Don’t overdo it. Some Eugene children experience diarrhea and other intestinal problems if they consume artificial sweeteners. If your Portland child is trying it for the first time, go easy until you know how they react to it.

Many people believe artificial sweeteners cause cancer, contribute to weight gain, and cause health problems. Talk to your Eugene pediatrician for children’s nutritional guidance.

To improve your child’s nutrition, ask me about The Nugget today by calling 503-409-8153. It’s a hit with children all over Oregon and I am sure your kids will love it also!

Portland Injuries: Get The Ice, Fast!

May 11th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Portland Injuries Get The Ice Fast!

If your Portland kids are active on the field, the court, or in your own backyard, chances are you have dealt with many bumps, bruises, and sprains. Prompt medical care can make all the difference when it comes to how quickly an injury heals.

Despite medical advancements, when it comes to a sprain, strain, break, or bruise, the best way to reduce pain and swelling is the same as when you were a kid: apply ice.

For the best DIY ice bag, fill a zip-top bag with ice cubes or crushed ice and a little water. The liquid will help the bag conform to the body and distribute the cold evenly. You can also use the frozen peas trick, which does essentially the same thing.

Don’t apply the bag to bare skin, however. This could cause frostbite or even a burn. Wrap the pack in a thin towel or article of clothing.

Don’t take the ice off too soon. Removing it after just a few minutes, when the skin is cold to the touch, won’t have a lasting effect. Leave ice on the injury until the area goes numb, but not more than 20 minutes. Repeat this once an hour for up to four hours.

Remember to get the ice on as soon as possible. Preventing and reducing inflammation speeds up the healing process. The sooner you get ice on it, the sooner your Portland child will be back in action.

Fun Exercise Ideas For Bend Or Kids

May 2nd, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Fun Exercise Ideas For Bend Or Kids

When I was growing up in Bend Or, my friends and I never ran out of things to do, and most of our activities provided at least a little bit of exercise. I have fond memories of playing kick-the-can on warm summer nights and swimming at the old Bend Or community pool.

Unfortunately, many of today’s Bend Or kids spend hours daily in sedentary activities. Exercise benefits our physical, mental, and emotional health. Perhaps you might enjoy participating in some of these with your son or daughter.

Fun exercise suggestions:

  • Fly a kite (It’s even more fun if you sing the song from Mary Poppins while you are doing it.)
  • Wheels: bike, skateboard, longboard, inline skates, rip stick, scooter (don’t forget a helmet!)
  • Rake the yard
  • Hula hoop (The Bend Or Wal-Mart carried them last time I checked.)
  • Martial arts
  • Juggling
  • Hacky sack
  • Badminton
  • Weight lifting
  • Hopscotch
  • Jump-roping
  • Tug-of-war

I am concerned about the state of children’s health in Oregon and like to share information about health issues in my blog. If you are looking for a low-fat, high antioxidant chocolate product that tastes like a diet-buster, call me today. I sell X Protein Shake and The Nugget, two tasty treats that help my kids stay healthy.

Individual vs. Team Sports For Portland Kids

April 26th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Individual vs. Team Sports For Portland Kids

There are growing numbers of kids in the Salem area involved in team sports. Participating in these activities can be a very positive experience for Portland kids. They can enhance health and fitness, social maturity, and even cognitive development.

What if your child doesn’t want to participate in organized team sports in your Oregon community? Perhaps they have yet to develop the skills necessary or find team sports too competitive or intimidating.

Fortunately, Salem children who participate in individual sports or even simple playful activities can receive the same benefits. With a team, the child has a coach to guide and encourage them in the chosen sport. Absent the team and coach, the guidance can come from the active role parents play in their child’s chosen sport.

Oregon parents who playfully nurture their child by playing catch, shooting baskets, or tossing pitches, encourage skill and personal development without the possible downsides of competition.

Many parents in Portland are organizing non-competitive sports groups. These allow kids to experience sports, meet new friends, and enjoy the improved health and fitness that comes from being active.

My name is Pat Parsons and I am a local X Protein Shake representative. I advocate for children’s health and would love to talk to you today. Call me to learn more about kids health and The Nugget.

‘Eugene CSRs: Hang Up Your Headsets And Call Me!’

April 26th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Hang Up Your Headsets And Call Me

Some Eugene people without sales experience wonder if they have what it takes to run their own direct sales business. I think customer service experience is more important than sales experience in Eugene because customer service specialists know how to focus on the customer.

Why do some home business owners in Eugene struggle? A common reason is because they focus more on selling than serving their customers. Top selling Eugene home business owners put the customer before anything else. When they do that, everything else falls into place.

The business owner’s passion for the product is important, but not more important than providing attentive customer service. If you don’t satisfy your Eugene customer, it doesn’t matter if you have the most amazing product in the world.

Eugene customer service specialists make great The Nugget direct sellers. If customer service is your forte, hang up your headset and call me today at 503-409-8153!

Hidden Sugar In Eugene Kid’s Snacks

April 24th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Hidden Sugar In Eugene Kid's Snacks Excessive sugar is a serious health threat for Eugene children. Do you know how much sugar your Portland son or daughter is really consuming? I am children’s nutrition advocate Pat Parsons.

Here are some popular Portland kid’s snacks with more sugar than I realized:

Yogurt covered raisins
Fruit Roll-ups, Gushers, and Fruit By The Foot
Quaker Rice Cakes
Yoplait yogurt
Gogurt
Juice drinks: Capri Sun, Minute Maid
Flavored milk

The next time you and your kids are shopping for snacks at your Eugene grocery store, Portland convenience store,  or Vancouver Wa ball park snack bar, read the labels. Sugar content varies among brands.

Limiting the amount of sugar in your Eugene child’s diet is an important step toward better lifelong eating and oral health. To hear about another great way to improve your child’s nutrition in Oregon, call me today!

Underemployed in Salem?

April 17th, 2012 by Pat Parsons

Underemployed in Salem?

While unemployment statistics are the numbers that usually make the news, underemployment is usually more common here in Salem. Working Portland people who are ‘underemployed’ have jobs that are not sufficient. This usually means the position is part-time or it doesn’t pay enough.

One solution for people in the Portland area who find themselves underemployed is to start a home based business. I’m Pat Parsons and I have a home business selling The Nugget in and around Eugene, Vancouver Wa, and Bend Or.

Members of my America Healthy Chocolate team enjoy earning supplemental income in their free time, and they find that the personal nature of direct sales is the optimal way to sell The Nugget.

If you are an underemployed Salem resident who would like the opportunity to earn residual income from home, call me at 503-409-8153. I would love to tell you why I chose America Healthy Chocolate for my Salem home business.
