  • Baby Café: Kids and Technology

    • 23 May 2013
    • 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
    • Toronto, Don Mills & Finch
    Register
    Speaker: Vanessa Cassie

    This week:   Kids and Technology
    "How are you raising your children in a technology laden world? Do your kids have access to mobile technology, internet or TV? Many parents have concerns surrounding how to balance encouraging our youngsters to become tech savvy with not entering tech overload. Have questions or ideas on how to keep your young ones safe while venturing onto the internet? Come share your stories, struggles and successes with other parents on this hot button topic."

    "Schedule" for the morning: We sing some silly songs with the kids around 10:15, then we let the kids/babes play with the babysitters while we have our discussion/hear from someone.  After the "learn & discuss" time, we have a snack and just hang out until 11:30ish.  There's volunteers who take care of our little ones and provide the snack so we can rest a bit.  We're in the room right next to the kids while they play so we can hear them, but the great thing is someone else is taking care of them!

    • What are the risks of talking or not talking, about these tough topics?
    • How can you teach your kids to be safe online? What are the myths? At what age is Facebook safe for kids?

    Heather Chauvin, BSW (Family Support Strategist)   

    Heather is a passionate mental health and self-esteem advocate who has made it her mission to enhance the lives of parents and children. A mother of 3 children, Heather has a refreshingly honest and entertaining speaking style. Heather's talk will answer these important questions:

    • What is your child's negative behaviour REALLY telling you?
    • How can you get your kids to listen (without the power struggle)?
    • What is the 'magic pill' when dealing with your child's anger, anxiety and low self esteem?
    • What is 'parenting guilt' and HOW can you make sure it doesn't run your life?
    • How you can wake up every morning feeling energized and ready to take on the world (kids and all)?
    There will be a $5 minimum donation collected upon registration. The money collected will be used to being more Life With a Baby Events to our community.

    A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Remember Aja

    This week

    "Schedule" for the morning: We sing some silly songs with the kids around 10:15, then we let the kids/babes play with the babysitters while we have our discussion/hear from someone.  After the "learn & discuss" time, we have a snack and just hang out until 11:30ish.  There's volunteers who take care of our little ones and provide the snack so we can rest a bit.  We're in the room right next to the kids while they play so we can hear them, but the great thing is someone else is taking care of them!

    • La Leche enrichment meeting - Mothering Without A Map

      		•
        17310 Yonge, Newmarket, Ontario - Gates of York Plaza
      • Society has seemed to have lost the value in mothers. How have we lost value in Grandmothers, in great grandmothers and in those feminine feet who have walked in our footsteps before us?.

        How have we lost value in female knowledge and the family in the raising of a child. Our society now is so masculine, so materialistic, so authoritarian. We have lost our way, we need a maternal influence, whatever our age, whoever we are.

        Every woman longs to be a good mother. But what about those women who grew up “undermothered”undefinedwhose own mothers were well-meaning but unavailable, absent, distracted, or depressed? For those that limit or deprive them of “mothering” due to georgraphy, relationship issues, or loss. How are they to become the mothers they aspire to be?

        One doesn’t have to have had a good mother to become one.

        Just as Kathyrn Black in her book Mothering Without A Map ... this enrichment meeting will explore other paths to discovering the mother within. We will evaluate and explore answers from experts in psychiatry and psychoanalysis, social work, biology, and other disciplines and confirm there are other paths to discovering the mother within. We will also explore the
        importance of the dynamic and the sharing of parenting wisdom through generations.

        We can give our own children a legacy of security, happiness, and love.

        Please feel free to bring a friend or a nutritious nut free snack to share.

        Expectant Mothers and Mother’s with their nursing babies/children are welcome. La Leche League Newmarket Group meets at the Newmarket Ontario Early Years Centre @ 17310 Yonge

        Street, Unit 6 (Gates of York Plaza) Newmarket.

      Panda Party Playground and Party Place

      With concerns of childhood inactivity and obesity on the rise in Canada, kids need a place to play now more than ever. Panda Party Indoor Playground and Party Place, an exciting addition in the heart of York Region, is providing a sanctuary for safe, fun-filled activity – a place where kids can be kids and parents can relax. Panda Party offers a healthy and enjoyable alternative to the sedentary forms of entertainment that have come to occupy children’s time. An abundance of play structures provides the kind of variety that kids need to stay engaged and entertained. Educational toys, yoga courses for kids, ponies to ferry them around the vast play area – the high-energy, high-quality facilities at Panda Party are ripe for exploration. With the region experiencing an annual average of 200 days of rain or snow, its outdoor spaces can be less than inviting. That’s where a comfortable place, available throughout the year, can make a difference: Panda Party’s weatherproof indoor playground is open six days a week, Tuesday to Sunday. Taking the stress out of birthday planning, Panda Party handles every detail.

      -----

      Bring the kids to play at this nice indoor playground and meet parents in the community.

      We’ve got awesome discounted tickets. Regular price is $8 + tax.

      Exclusive LWAP / LWAB Admission prices:

      Child: $3.99 incl tax
      Baby (under 12 mths): Free
      Adult: Free

      *Please pay directly to Panda Party staff.  PLEASE BE SURE TO EMAIL / CALL IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION FOR ANY REASON AS PANDA PARTY IS SAVING SPOTS FOR US*

      Let's work together to reach our goals! 
      We'll walk, we'll talk, we'll exercise and most importantly, we'll have fun. From cardio to strength training we can run it ourselves. 

      Not professional by any means, but we will get the job done!

      How it will work: After we stretch, we will begin pushing the strollers, after 5 minutes we stop and do an exercise (ie jumping jacks, squats, sit-ups, push-ups etc) for 2 min. You can go as hard or as easy on yourself as you want. When 2 minutes is up, we will continue our walk for another 5, we will repeat with different exercises. 

      Hope to see you there!

      Are you finding that you are still having some difficulty coping with the transition to motherhood?


      Do you love being a mom but feel overwhelmed by all the roles you play?


      Is the pressure to be “super mom” stressing you out?


      Are you plagued with guilt?


      Are you feeling depleted?

       

      Guess what most moms feel this way at some point in their parenting journey! We just don’t walk around with a sign on our forehead so it’s hard to see it!  You are not alone.  Come out and connect with other moms and babies at the same stage of life.  We’ll talk about the good, the bad and the awesome J

      It is a HUGE adjustment, it takes time to figure out the new dynamics in your household. Let’s connect and learn while supporting each other.


      Each month we’ll share various coping strategies and connect with resources.  We’ll also have guest speakers such as Public Health Nurse, Mom Ambassadors who’ve been here and are now thriving and other speakers as requested by the group.

      Join us to share coping strategies, advice or if you just need someone to listen.

      Fathers Day "Make And Take" Craft Gift ~ Newmarket Fairy Lake

      Come celebrate the wonderful "men" of your life by making them an extra special gift for Fathers Day.

      We will be doing foot prints/hand prints of the kids on paper and then creating little frames for them to give "dad".  These frames will be decorated and can easily also be used as a Christmas Decoration / Ornament Keepsake for Dad.

      A $2.00 CONTRIBUTION (per frame created) TOWARDS THE ART SUPPLIES and our local York North Chapter's future event programming WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED (but is not mandatory)! To be collected at the event.

      DUE TO THE MATERIALS THAT WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED FOR THIS EVENT, PLEASE ONLY RSVP IF YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN MAKE IT AND / OR PLEASE CANCEL AT LEAST 1 WEEK IN ADVANCE IF YOUR PLANS HAVE CHANGED.

      Parent supervision and assistance will be required to to the activity, set up and clean up please.

      Please be prepared to get a little "dirty" with the (washable) craft supplies.  Socks and shoes may have to be removed.  There are washroom facilities close by for clean up and wash basins  / wipes will be provided.  Don't wear your best clothes :)

      If you would like to add this poem to your craft (perhaps do your print on top of it, please come with a copy pre-printed to suite your frame / gift).  Limited pre-printed 8x10 copies will be made available

      "Daddy's Footprints"

      Footprints
      "Walk a little slower daddy,"
      said a child so small.
      "I'm following in your footsteps
      and I don't want to fall.

      Sometimes your steps are very fast,
      Sometimes they're hard to see;
      So walk a little slower, Daddy,
      For you are leading me.

      Someday when I'm all grown up,
      You're what I want to be;
      Then I will have a little child
      Who'll want to follow me.

      And I would want to lead just right,
      And know that I was true;
      So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
      For I must follow you."

      Made With Love By:

      Not professional by any means, but we will get the job done!

      How it will work: After we stretch, we will begin pushing the strollers, after 5 minutes we stop and do an exercise (ie jumping jacks, squats, sit-ups, push-ups etc) for 2 min. You can go as hard or as easy on yourself as you want. When 2 minutes is up, we will continue our walk for another 5, we will repeat with different exercises.

      Also if you have any extra play doh "utensils" to share that would be great too.  We have a bucket here of some but the more the better!  **Be sure to write your name on it or know what you brought**
