Volume 26, Issue 2 Spring, 2007 Doctor’s Orders: Kids Need to Play Parents know it. Teachers know it. And now pediatricians have weighed in with an official opinion about it. What’s the big consensus? Kids need regular doses of constructive play for healthy development, says the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and play is an important factor in building strong parent-child bonds. In the January 2007 issue of the journal Pediatrics , Kenneth R. Ginsburg, MD, MSEd states, “Free and unstructured play is healthy—in fact, essential—for helping children reach important social, emotional, and cognitive developmental milestones as well as helping them manage stress and become resilient.” Judy Aagard, co-owner and buyer at Tiny Tots Diaper Service and Baby Boutique, who is dedicated to carrying toys that encourage children to use their imagination, develop social and emotional skills, and stay physically active, also applauds the pediatricians’ report. “We see so many parents who are deeply committed to their child’s healthy development. If your pediatrician says that you need to let your child have more free play time, that can give parents confidence that slowing down is not only okay—it’s actually recommended.” Many parents will agree that it’s hard to be a relaxed, bonded family with all the emphasis on achievement and the belief that lots of organized activities are important for their children. Aagard points to some specific recommendations contained in the AAP report that she feels are especially useful for today’s parents. It’s not about what the toy can do, but rather what the child can do with the toy. The report encourages parents to look for toys that encourage imaginative, rather than passive play. “It’s a happy talent to know how to play.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Aagard suggests that parents take note of these recommendations as well: ♦ Building academic skills and other skills like competence in a sport or in music may be important goals, but they should be balanced with the equally important (if not more important) goals of promoting the healthy development of social and emotional skills. Many social and emotional skills—for example, self-confidence, self-regulation, resiliency, and stress management—are best learned through experience, which for kids generally means play.” ♦ Kids don’t need to have a long list of wide ranging accomplishments to be successful or to compete in the adult world. The most important quality that will lead to their success will be a sense of personal security and confidence. ♦ Claims made by some compa- nies in marketing their products, suggesting that kids can become “super children” if they use the product, play on parents’ desires to be “good parents.” Parents should learn how to filter out advertising messages that promise things their children don’t really need. There are plenty of people willing to escalate your worries that you’re being a bad parent if you don’t buy the latest thing for your child or if you don’t sign them up for more lessons or sports than your family can handle. Stay focused on what your child and your family really need and what you can afford—in terms of dollars, time, and the extra stress. “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Plato The complete article about play which appeared in the American Academy of Pediatrics journal can be found online. Visit the AAP website at: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/ current.shtml#ARTICLES to find the article titled The Importance of Play in Promoting Health Child Development and Maintaining Strong Parent-Child Bonds. Alec enjoys receiving his blue bag of clean diapers each week. His family writes, “when we started looking for day care programs, we were worried that we would have to give up cloth diapers, but sometimes all you have to do is ask. The care providers have been very accommodating of our choice.” From left to right, triplets Preston, Erik and Thomas keep their parents and big sister busy. Earth Day Diaper Haiku A cotton diaper Protector of skin and trees Small, powerful shield Submitted by long time customer Lisa of San Francisco Did you know? If you forget to set your soiled diapers out for pick-up, you can either set out two weeks worth the following week or if it is convenient, you can bring them in to our store, Tiny Tots Baby Boutique. We have a purple cart in the parking lot specifically for soiled diapers. If you choose this option, please make sure the bags you drop in the cart have your name and account on them. Please also pop in and let us know you dropped them off. If you need to pick up additional diapers or exchange sizes this can also be done at the boutique. Nolan Graduates A recent honor roll inductee’s mom wrote, “I believe cloth diapers are the only way to diaper a baby. As a nurse, I see the benefit of pure cotton on our son’s smooth as silk, never had a rash, bottom. Cloth diapering is the healthy choice for our baby and environment. Nolan is the youngest of 5 and all the older kids can easily change him. Cloth is best!” Cynthia, mom to four Tiny Tots graduates, Meredith (13), Cecelia (9), Fallon (5) and Nolan (3) 2 Leonard is happy playing with his fresh cotton diapers. Sporting a curious mind and a Bumkins vented diaper cover, Stephen helps pull weeds (mom’s note: garden soil washes right out)! Practice Earth Day E v e r y d a y Nolan, pictured at 14 months, joins his older siblings as a noted Tiny Tots graduate. Leila Joi enjoys her tummy time in her cloth diaper.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to help out with some of the “dirty work”. We hope the diapering years have been a time of wonderful memories for your family. A single-use product cannot accurately be labeled “ecofriendly” simply because it doesn’t contain chlorine, dyes, perfumes or latex. It is not our normal business practice to confront other companies, but in lieu of the anniversary of Earth Day we feel compelled (and find it easier to justify) exposing an environmental and health inconsistency. We personally shop at Whole Foods Markets because we believe they maintain a higher standard then other markets and trust that the products we purchase have been pre-selected and accurately reflect our shared values. Whole Foods recently introduced their private label paper diaper. Each bag of 365 Whole Food diapers says, “At Whole Foods Market, we care about your baby’s health as much as we care about the health of the world he or she will inherit…..super-absorbent gel helps to keep your little bundle of joy comfortable and dry, in the most ecologically conscientious way possible.” Disposable diapers of any type, including the private label that Whole Foods sells, do not offer the eco benefits a customer assumes they are getting. The reality is that every disposable diaper made is a brazen denial of the reduce, reuse, recycle priority of conservation. A single-use product cannot accurately be labeled “eco-friendly” simply because it doesn’t contain chlorine, dyes, perfumes or latex. Single-use and eco-friendly are an oxymoron. Health concerns are even more disturbing. Every brand of paper diapers, except Tushies*, contain super-absorbent gel called sodium polyacrylate. This chemical has been linked to toxic shock syndrome, an increase in childhood asthma and scrotal temperature increase in boys. It is troubling that Whole Foods would choose to include this chemical in a product they privately make and sell for use on babies. The following excerpts from the Whole Foods website are inconsistent with their decision to carry a diaper that contains chemicals and is 100% garbage: ♦ We provide personal care products that support health and well-being. ♦ We carefully evaluate each and every product we sell. ♦ We take a look at your environment and try to eliminate any unnecessary chemicals. ♦ We are committed to offering you products with natural ingredients, free of unnecessary additives. ♦Our Whole Baby line includes eco-friendly diapers. Please let Whole Foods know if you feel they should stop advertising their disposable diapers as eco-friendly and healthy for babies. Or better yet, maybe they could stop selling disposable diapers altogether and offer a reusable option in their place. There is hope they will listen and change their diaper product line. *Tiny Tots sells Tushies Disposable Diapers because to our knowledge it is the only disposable diaper available that doesn’t contain sodium polyacrylate. Even though they are chlorine, dye, perfume and latex free, we make no eco-friendly claims regarding their use. We carry them solely because they are a healthier alternative to the other single-use diapers on the market.

They are a healthier single-use diaper than the Seventh Generation, Nature Boy & Girl, Tendercare Plus, the G Diaper, Whole Baby Diapers from Whole Foods, and the mainstream brands, but they offer no environmental benefits. Flushable diapers require the same amount of raw materials to produce, including crude oil, for just a few hours use. There is no such thing as an environmentally friendly single-use diaper. See for yourself: Cut open the padding of a Tushies diaper and you’ll find a natural blend cotton and wood pulp fluff. Chemical-Free! Open the padding of any other disposable diaper and you can shake out white granules. These are the acrylic acid polymer salts. Put the granules in water and watch them turn into gel. This is the chemical connected with increased child asthma, increased scrotal temperature and toxic shock syndrome. Tushies (33% cotton/66% wood pulp Snappi Diaper Clips Simple pinning alternative.

Easy Audit For Your Diaper Count An easy way to have us audit your diaper inventory is to write a 2-word note on the label on the soiled bag before you set it outside - “25 left”, or whatever number of clean diapers are left in your home. These labels are cut off the diaper bag and turned into the office after the soiled diaper counter counts your bag and writes the count on the label. When we add up the number left + the soiled count + the number of diapers delivered that day, we can determine if your rotation is correct. Some customers do this every week. Some do it once a month. Memorial Day Schedule In honor of Memorial Day, the boutique will be closed the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the Memorial Day weekend, May 26 - 28. Monday diaper deliveries will be as usual.
