ice cream cone fans
Summer is the time for frozen treats! Here’s the scoop for making an ice
cream cone fan craft that’s super easy and super cute. Plus, this cool
cone can keep your child cool during the
hot days outside.
You’ll need the following supplies to
make one fan:
• 2 sheets of colored paper
• 1 sheet of white card stock
• Brown paint
• Paint brush
• Fork utensil
• Scissors
• 1 red pompom
• Tape
• Glue
Start by painting the white sheet of card stock with the brown paint. While
the paint is wet, use the fork to make diagonal lines across the paper, going
in both directions to create a grid like an ice cream cone pattern. Let the
paint dry.
Fold the two sheets of colored paper accordion-style, folding along the
short edge of the paper. Then fold the accordion-folded sheets in half. Pull
apart the folds to create a fan and tape the edges to hold in place. Next,
tape both of the paper “fans” together to
create a circle. At the top center of the
paper fan circle, glue the red pompom
to make a cherry. After the brown paint
has dried, cut out a cone-shaped triangle.
To finish the craft, glue the fan circle “ice
cream scoop” to the brown painted cone.

a letter from the EDITOR
S
ummer is finally here and it’s time to
relax and enjoy the summer with your
kids. But, how does one relax with house
full of kids for the summer? This is the
ultimate mom challenge to make the best of a
lighter schedule, but less structure. I eventually
found an equation that worked in my house…
send the kids to camp! When my kids were small
I felt like a camp counselor myself keeping the
kids busy enough, yet allowing spontaneity to
create down time and relaxation. This summer
treat yourself by taking time to fill your own
bucket. South Jersey MOM writer, Patricia
Mooneyham has compiled a list of reminders of
things you can do for yourself this summer, True
Love Starts With Yourself (page 8). I know the
kids take up most of your time, but how many
times have we heard the expression to truly love
someone else we need to love ourselves first. An
hour yoga class, walk in the park or buying a
new lipstick can feel like a new start. The article
that stands out the most for me this month is
Stranger Danger (page 6). Summer is a time
that kids have more freedom to be out riding a
bike or playing in the neighborhood and children
need to understand different safety measures for
different circumstances. When my son was about
3 or 4 years old he liked to play in the backyard
while I was preparing dinner. This gave him some
needed space to play without me helicoptering as
we usually spent all day, everyday together. We
had talked about stranger danger and he learned
about it at preschool. I thought he got it, but I
was wrong in my assumption. I asked him one
day, “If you’re playing in the yard and a person
comes to the gate and says come with me to get
an ice cream, what would you say?” His reply
was, “Thank you!” What, are you kidding me?
No, that’s good manors, not stranger danger!✲

What Most Parents
Don’t Know About
H
ave you ever taught your child “don’t talk to strangers?” If so,
you’re not alone. While child safety is every parents primary
concern, this is just one example of a misguided or outdated
tactic many parents use to teach their children
about safety. Are you teaching your child the right
ways to stay safe? Good Stranger vs. Bad Stranger
According to the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children (citing U.S. Department
of Justice reports), more than
2,000 children are reported
missing every day. While
most of these cases don’t
end in disaster, it is still
important to equip our children with the right safety
tools. Let us begin with that
simple statement almost all
parents teach their children,
“don’t talk to strangers.” The
challenge with telling them
“don’t talk to strangers” is that
when a problem arises when they
are faced with a true emergency,
they may not know how to handle it.
Explain that if they cannot find you and
they refuse to communicate with anyone, they
could be in serious trouble. However, if you teach
them the right kind of strangers to talk to, they can analyze
the situation better and find help when needed. Typically, the best types
of strangers to talk to are police officers in uniform, or a mom or grandma
with children. And, what exactly is a bad stranger? If an adult asks your
child for help, your child should be able to tell that something is not right.
An adult should ask another adult for assistance, not a child. Teaching
your child to distinguish between a good stranger and a bad stranger is
critical for child safety.
Phone Number and Address
Let’s fast-forward a bit. You taught your child the right kind of stranger
to talk to and shortly after, they need to use what they learned. For example, they get caught in an emergency, find a uniformed police officer,
and inform the officer that they are lost and need help. The police officer
By Robert McQuade
will ask for a phone number or address. As a Martial Arts Instructor, I am
amazed at how many children do not know their phone number or home
address. The best thing to do, as a parent, is to prepare them by making
them memorize both and testing them on it every 6 months or so.
Safe Word or Code
Some ‘bad strangers’ are very smooth talkers. Let’s
imagine they come up to your child with the following dialogue: “Hey Sara, I’m good friends with
your mom. Your mom was in a car accident
and she asked me to come pick you up so
I can take you to her.” Sounds like a pretty legitimate story, right? The child will
probably be even more convinced of the
stranger’s honesty because they knew
her by name. What your child doesn’t
realize is the stranger could have either
read it off their book bag or overheard
one of her friends using their name.
What if your child had a way to verify if there actually was an emergency?
This is where a safe word comes in. The
safe word should be something ONLY
you and your child know. Your child just
needs to know when to ask for the safe word
and to scream if the stranger does not know it.
Teach assertive behaviors
Teach your child to scream, “I don’t know you!
You’re not my mom/dad!” It’s been my experience
that most parents teach their children to throw a temper
tantrum in an emergency in order to draw attention. That’s not
wrong, however, what child does not throw a temper tantrum occasionally? A temper tantrum may generate some attention, but that might not
be enough. It certainly won’t generate as much attention as your child
screaming the words “STOP! I don’t know you! You’re not my dad/
mom.” By saying these words, your child can effectively alert anyone
nearby that something is truly wrong. The sooner you teach your child these techniques the better. Just like anything else of critical importance, make sure you review these steps with
your children from time to time- making sure they are updated with any
new information.✲

True Love Starts with
Yourself
By Patricia Mooneyham
M
any may have heard the expression
to truly love someone else we need
to love ourselves first. While we
think we are showing love all the time with doing and being everything to everyone we think
is important to us, we are very often not loving
or “filling the emotional tank” for ourselves. I
recently did a book club gathering of the “Five
Love Languages” and although the original
concept was for married couples if you check
out the book on Amazon you can see the additional titles that have come as an extension of
the concept. We all have a love language and
what fills our tanks is as different as we are. So
this summer in an effort to challenge women to
be open to receiving the love that they deserve
I want to recommend a few things to help in the
self-love department.
• Schedule a date night even if it is with yourself. It can be a night with your significant
other or with your BFF but make it a priority. Just like a dentist appointment for your
kids would be. Try to make this at the very
minimum a monthly ritual.
• Ask for what will really make you happy,
you don’t have to wait for a holiday. Whether it is affection, attention, help with the
laundry, flowers once a week or to be told
you are beautiful make it easy for those you
love to love you back and give you what you
need. Tell them. Don’t demand or nag, just
communicate your needs.
• Find a Nordstrom and let one of the make-up
artists do your make up. It is usually free if
you are asking about the product line. I am
not saying we all aren’t beautiful the way we
are, but it is fun to have someone do your
make up and I like Nordstrom because it reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
“Ask for what will
really make you
happy, you don’t
have to wait for a
holiday”
• Light some candles, buy a bath fizzy and
soak in the tub. Hire a babysitter if you
have to but nothing feels like you are loving
yourself than to indulge in a little “Calgon
Take Me Away” therapy. Make it special and
don’t forget to moisturize when you get out
of the tub!
• Pick something new for your health and do
it. Positive focus on an area in our lives creates more positive energy in that area. What
better place to create that than our health.
So whether it is to drink more water, take
a multi vitamin or a yoga class do something for yourself in this area. It is a great
example for your kids and it is good for you
which makes it a win-win.
These are not huge things to incorporate in
your life. There are minimal costs involved but
the return on the investment in yourself will
yield a windfall in return. Once your tank is
filled this summer, you will have even more
love to give those you love the most!✲

their 8th grade trip to Chincoteague Bay Field
Station, a fall trip where they visited a marine

had special memories at Camp Onas, the annual
6th grade fall trip that focuses on environmental education, team and individual challenges.
This experience allowed them to form lasting
bonds with their teachers and classmates. One
student, Joshua, called his school journey, “the
best experience a child could ask for.”
Equipped with the academic and experiential knowledge they gained from Friends
School Mullica Hill, graduates will further
their achievements at some of the finest independent schools in the area. The 2016 alumni will go on to The Tatnall School, George
School, Bishop Eustace, Gloucester County
Institute of Technology, St. Augustine Prep,
Friends Select, Wilmington Friends and elsewhere. While their career aspirations are diverse, they will always share one common
bond: their incredible memories during their
time at Friends School Mullica Hill.✲

Water Safety Brush Up:
The 5 essential water safety rules
to follow this Summer
N
ow that the warmer weather is finally here, it’s time to refresh
your water safety skills before you and your loved ones head out
to the pool. Follow along with these 5 essential water safety tips
for a safe and splashtastic Summer!
1. Always Supervise Your Little Swimmers
The absolute most important rule in water safety is to always keep supervision. No matter the swim proficiency of your children, it is essential
to have an undistracted adult keep constant supervision of the pool area.
Very young children can drown in less than 2 inches of water, so keep an
eye on them even when they are in inflatable pools, fountains, or even
near buckets! That being said, you should make sure your little ones won’t be able
to reach the pool area without an adult present. Consider pool fences that
are at least 4 feet high or taller, with a self-closing and self-latching gate
that is beyond a child’s reach. Don’t forget to keep the gate area clear of
any toys or objects that can be used to reach the gate latch!
2. Make Sure You and Your Kids Know How to Swim
Children aged 1-4 with formal swimming lessons have up to 88% less of
a chance of drowning. Children can learn how to swim from a very young
age. However, do not assume children who knows how to swim are not at
risk for drowning. They will still need to be supervised by an adult at all
times to ensure water safety.
3. Be Swim Proficient, Know CPR, and First Aid Certified
Although this may seem like an obvious step, many people, even experienced swimmers, underestimate the need for knowledge of CPR and First
Aid. Be sure you are up to date on your First Aid knowledge and certifications so you can take charge in case an emergency situation arises.
Effective CPR can double a child’s chances of survival, so make sure the
supervising adult is not only swim proficient, but also know basic CPR
and First-aid training in case of a swimming emergency. During the time
it takes for the ambulance to arrive, CPR training could save a life.
Due to popular demand, many swim schools offer water safety and
first aid courses for parents, so be sure to check!
4. Establish Pool Rules
Adults and children have different sets of rules to follow in the pool.
Adults, including babysitters, should make sure that they know the location of pool safety equipment, such as first aid kit, throw rings, and a
phone for emergencies. On the other hand, children should understand
that good pool etiquette is essential to their safety. Some examples of
rules to follow near the pool include no running near the pool area, no
pushing or dunking others in the pool, and never pretend or ‘play’ drown.
5. Don’t Forget About Sun Protection!
Sun safety is just as important as water safety when it comes to swimming. Many of us tend to forget to reapply sunscreen, but the American
Academy of Dermatology recommends at least 1 ounce, or 1 shot glass’
worth, of sunscreen, applied all over the body every 2 hours. For swimmers, the best kind of sunscreens should be at least SPF 30 and waterproof. Parents should also consider bringing along hats, UV sunglasses,
and protective clothing for longer sessions in the outdoors!
Swimming is a fun and healthy activity, but you’ll enjoy your water
experience so much more when you practice these safety precautions.
Happy swimming!✲

Here Comes the Sun and a
Summertime Menu
By Lisa Ann Panzino DiNunzio
The air is filled with the sound of twittering, chirping birds; the ground’s producing beautiful, sun-kissed daffodils,
and the temperature’s on the rise! These are just a few sure signs that summer has truly arrived, and, with it, comes the
desire to put aside the heavier, comfort foods most people enjoy during the cold winter months and replace them with
lighter, summertime meals. Here are three recipes that are filling yet not too heavy -- perfect for a summertime menu!
Almond Coated Chicken
• 10-12 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• Sea salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 3 eggs, beaten
• Extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick
olive oil cooking spray, set aside. In a bowl, add the almond flour, parmesan cheese and seasonings, set aside. Dredge the chicken tenderloins
into the beaten eggs, then into the almond flour mixture until well coated
on both sides. Place the tenderloins in one layer onto the prepared baking pan. Drizzle the chicken lightly with extra virgin olive oil and place
pan into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove pan from oven, flip
chicken over and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until clear juices
flow when the chicken’s pierced. Serve.
• 1 small onion, diced or sliced small
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 English cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
In a large saucepan, cook the quinoa in water for 15-20 minutes or until
tender, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool. In a small bowl, whisk
together vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, set aside. In a large
bowl, gently toss the quinoa together with the olives,
parsley, onion, tomatoes and cucumbers. Pour the olive oil mixture
over the quinoa. Add salt and pepper to taste and gently toss in the feta
cheese.
As always, Bon Appetit!
Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan & Breadcrumbs
• 1 head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
• 3–4 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder, to taste
Preheat oven to 400º. In a bowl, toss florets with olive oil, bread
crumbs and cheese. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet greased
with non-stick cooking spray. Season with garlic powder, salt and
pepper. Roast 25-35 minutes or until nicely browned.
Greek Quinoa Salad
• 3 cups cold water
• 1 1/2 cups quinoa, uncooked
• 1/4 cup apple cider or balsamic vinegar
• Juice from one lemon
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
• 3-4 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Ask the Doc
Is This Going to Hurt?
In a procedural specialty caring for children,
this question comes up more often than any
other (from children and parents alike). I know
it is foremost on my mind when I take my son
to the doctor—or anywhere else for that matter.
Unfortunately, examining and treating children
often involves some discomfort and distress.
However, there are simple and effective ways
Dr. Ryan Walker
to minimize pain and make children feel safe.
Even young children can often express their fears in a clear
and considered manner. Children should be told what will and will
not happen in the course of their visit. Often, acknowledging and
addressing their anxiety up front can be enough to allay their fears.
Explaining there usually aren’t any shots at our visits calms the
nerves of children who have come to associate doctors’ visits with the
unfriendly needle.

When a procedure does involve discomfort, we must be
particularly sensitive not to dismiss children’s pain. We should
anticipate and treat it to the best of our ability. In infants, we use sugar
water prior to releasing tongue ties since it has been proven effective
at treating pain. In older children, we work with parents to develop
a plan if pain is anticipated. Tonsillectomy, for instance, can cause a
sore throat for up to two weeks. With newer techniques and a clear
postoperative plan, we are able to reduce and manage this pain more
effectively.
Explaining the nature and duration of the exam is critical to
gaining children’s trust and coaching them through the exam. Any
procedure, even if painless and brief, can be anxiety-provoking.
Explaining and demonstrating the instruments before slowly working
up to the actual exam can make this process easier for children,
parents, and medical staff alike.
