PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM OZONE POLLUTION

Children are more sensitive than adults to ozone air pollution. Children
breathe faster and spend more time playing outdoors. Their developing
lungs are smaller. Exposure to ozone sparks asthma attacks and has been
linked to childhood leukemia. Ozone is a serious health risk from May to
October.

There are many things parents can do to protect their children from
ozone air pollution.:

Prevention tips:

�Check for ozone alerts or daily air pollution forecasts. These are
provided via TV weather reports, newspapers and the Internet
(http://www.esp-global.com/esp/dip/9/index.html).

�Limit your child's outdoor exercise when ozone levels are high; the
best times for children to play outdoors are before 11 a.m. and after 8
p.m. on high-ozone days. Hot, clear, dry and windless days create high
levels of ozone.

�Identify fun activities and games that you can play inside your home
during high-ozone days.

�Take refuge in air-conditioned bookstores, museums, cafes, movie
theaters and shopping malls during high-ozone days.

�If you must be outdoors, choose an activity that's less strenuous; try
to avoid things that cause you and your child to breathe pollution deep
into your lungs.

�Keep your child's outdoor activities as far as possible from busy
roadways, because motor vehicles are a primary source of air pollution.

�If your child has difficulty breathing or coughs persistently on high
air pollution days, share your observations with your pediatrician.
Children with asthma are especially sensitive to air pollution.

�Teach your child how to reduce air pollution by walking, biking and
using public transportation with him/her.

�Encourage your child's school district to look at ways to clean up
school buses. Most buses use diesel engines that heavily pollute the
air children breathe, newer fuels and engines are cleaner.

MOMENTS FOR MOM
By Elisabeth K. Corcoran

I was listening to a woman giving a message the other day and she was
talking about being authentic. Her grown daughter was in the audience
and at one point she turned her attention to her and said something
like, 'You always knew I loved you...I always took you to your events
and activities, I kept you organized, I kept you well-fed, but I want to
say I'm sorry for not being the fun mom, the carefree mom, the...' And
then for some reason, I tuned her out. And here is what I started
thinking.

I pictured my Sara, now 8-&-1/2, in her early 20's. And she was sitting
with her girlfriends in a college dorm, or with a boyfriend on a date,
or,let's be honest here, in a therapist's office. And I could hear her
saying, "I know my mom loved me, but..." And I started to think about
all things that could end that sentence. "I know my mom loved me,
but..." ...but she actually told me that she didn't like to play Polly
Pockets. What kind of mom tells her daughter that? ...but she always
seemed to be going to a meeting at church...I know she worked part-time,
but it didn't always feel
like it... ...but she sure spent a lot of time on that computer of
hers...writer or no writer...she always seemed to be on it.   ...but she
said, 'just a minute' a lot or 'okay, but only for ten minutes' when I
would ask her to play...

Oh, this list could go on and on, trust me. Frankly, it was all I could
stomach in one sitting. When I first let my thoughts drift down that
path, I wasn't trying to make myself feel like a terrible mother. My
purpose was that perhaps if I could picture some of those sentence
endings now, maybe, just maybe, I could reverse a couple of them while I
still had the time.

No, I'm not going to start liking to play Polly Pockets. But maybe the
next time Sara asks me to play, I could do so without glancing at the
clock. Or maybe the next time I go to turn on the computer, I could
grab Sara and a book and hit the couch for a few minutes instead.

Moms, take a few moments in the next few days...picture your child all
grown up and having one of those 'when I was a kid' conversations with a
friend. What have they got to say about you? Anything you can do about
it while you've still got the time?
