Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos cultural celebration

Halloween may be almost behind us but the the 7th annual Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos cultural celebration is Saturday, November 4, 12-5 p.m., at McAllister Park Center, 750 W. 96th Ave., in Thornton. This popular Mexican holiday celebration is a family-friendly event to remember and honor deceased loved ones with food, flowers, music, and mementos. It’s presented by Thornton’s Arts & Culture Division and Thornton Arts Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO).

“TASHCO and Thornton have partnered again with the Mexican Cultural Center, as well as with various local artists and small businesses so the community can gather and celebrate this festive holiday,” says Thornton Arts & Culture Manager Alisa Zimmerman. “We are looking forward to another year of record attendance and are encouraging everyone to return for more fun activities and food on this special day.”

Activities include:

  • face-painting
  • music by Elisa Garcia and Mariachi Sangre Mexicana

  • a stilt walker
  • art market
  • ancestor altar
  • photo booth
  • food trucks
  • Catrina costume contest with prizes.

New this year is the Butterfly Pavilion with their monarch butterfly information table. These butterflies are native to Mexico and are believed by some to represent the souls of the dead returning to visit the living on the Day of the Dead. The event is free except for face-painting and food vendors. Activities will take place indoors and outdoors.

Event sponsors include TASHCO and the Mexican Cultural Center with funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) and the city of Thornton. This event is subject to change.

Denver middle schoolers can receive $1,000 for afterschool programs

 In a kids town hall meeting, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced My Spark Denver, a new pilot program that will provide 4,000 Denver Public Schools (DPS) middle school students with $1,000 to enroll in afterschool programs. As students enroll in participating programs, My Spark Denver will invest $4 million in after-school activities. 

“Many of us have a story about the activities we loved as kids. For me, my spark was soccer and theater. I didn’t become a professional athlete or actor, but the lessons of teamwork and collaboration have stayed with me,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “While my administration takes on the urgent issues of ending homelessness and ensuring public safety, My Spark Denver addresses many of the underlying causes of these issues by investing in the wellbeing of young people now to help them weather life’s storms and build positive connections to their community.”

Mayor Johnston and City Council Members Chris Hinds and Diana Romero Campbell heard from middle school students about their interests and favorite afterschool activities. The students, some of whom are enrolled in My Spark Denver, also asked city leaders about how they’re including youth perspectives in policy-making, reducing stigma and finding joy in supporting youth mental health, and creating spaces where young people feel safe. Mayor Johnston also addressed students’ concerns on important issues in the city like homelessness and safety.

Participation in afterschool programs improves youth self-confidence, self-awareness and positive social behaviors. However, nearly 60% of parents say the high cost of afterschool programs keeps them from enrolling their kids.

“Parents often echo what the research tells us – that their child discovers something new about themselves through dance, that a new friendship is formed thanks to chess or that a kid builds confidence through sports. These experiences aren’t nice to have but critical to youth wellbeing and mental health,” said Angie McPhaul, Director of Youth Success at Gary Community Ventures. “This is a community-led effort and one step closer to making it possible for every child to pursue their passions and find their spark.”

Parents can apply for My Spark Denver on mysparkdenver.org. Once approved, parents will receive a debit card with $1,000 in funding that can only be used to enroll their child in a participating My Spark Denver afterschool program. More than 100 providers are participating and offering activities that range from art, sports, chess, tutoring, dance, martial arts and music. These offerings continue to grow as new providers join the program. The 2023-2024 school year is the first year during which My Spark Denver has been piloted. Researchers will study the outcomes of the program and advisory groups composed of community leaders, kids, parents and afterschool providers will inform My Spark Denver’s development.

13 best tips for new moms: from routines to self-care to delegation

Adjusting to life with a new baby can be both incredibly rewarding and challenging. It’s a major life transition that requires physical, emotional, and logistical adjustments. Here are some tips to help you navigate this exciting but often demanding time:

Tips for New Moms

  1. Accept Help: Don’t hesitate to accept help from family and friends. They can assist with tasks like cooking, cleaning, or running errands, allowing you to focus on your baby and yourself.
  2. Prioritize Self-Care: Taking care of yourself is essential. Get enough rest, eat well, and make time for relaxation when possible. Nap when your baby naps, and don’t be too hard on yourself if the house isn’t perfectly clean.
  3. Create a Routine: Babies thrive on routines. Establish a consistent daily schedule for feeding, napping, and bedtime. This will help your baby feel more secure and make it easier for you to plan your day.
  4. Communicate with Your Partner: Maintain open and honest communication with your partner. Discuss how you’ll share responsibilities, whether it’s baby care, household chores, or emotional support.
  5. Seek Support: Joining a new parents’ support group or connecting with other new parents can provide valuable advice, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging during this time.
  6. Learn About Infant Development: Understanding your baby’s developmental milestones and needs can help you respond to their cues more effectively and reduce frustration. Check out the bestseller Caring for Your Baby and Young Child
  7. Practice Patience: Parenthood is a learning curve, and there will be challenging moments. Be patient with yourself and your baby. It’s okay to ask for help or take a break when you need it.
  8. Delegate Tasks: Delegate responsibilities and tasks to other family members when possible. If you have older children, involve them in caring for their new sibling to foster a sense of responsibility and bonding.
  9. Maintain Your Relationships: Don’t forget about your relationships with friends and family. While your baby will require a lot of attention, maintaining connections with loved ones can provide emotional support.
  10. Take Time for Bonding: Spend quality time bonding with your baby through skin-to-skin contact, cuddling, and talking to them. These interactions are essential for their emotional development.
  11. Plan Ahead: Plan ahead for outings or events to minimize stress. Make sure you have all the essentials packed in your diaper bag and a plan for feeding and napping while you’re out.
  12. Accept Change: Recognize that your life will change significantly with a baby, and it’s okay to mourn the loss of some aspects of your pre-baby life. Embrace the new experiences and joys that parenthood brings.
  13. Ask for Professional Help: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common and treatable. Reach out to the Colorado Chapter of Postpartum Support International

Remember that adjusting to life with a new baby is a process, and it’s okay to make mistakes and learn as you go. Trust your instincts as a parent, and don’t forget to cherish the precious moments with your little one. You’ve got this, Mamas!

What should I do when my kids talk back to me?

It seems almost as soon as kids start talking (and even long before) they start forming strong opinions. But what should you do when those opinions turn to sass?

Dealing with children who talk back can be a challenging aspect of parenting, but it’s important to handle it in a constructive and supportive way.  Be sure to check out How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk and also these helpful steps. 

  1. Stay Calm: It’s essential to remain calm when your child talks back. Responding with anger or frustration can escalate the situation and make it harder to resolve.
  2. Listen Actively: Try to understand why your child is talking back. Are they feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or upset? Listen to their perspective before responding.
  3. Set Clear Expectations: Ensure your child understands the rules and expectations for behavior in your household. Be consistent in enforcing these rules and consequences for breaking them.
  4. Use Positive Communication: Model respectful communication by using “I” statements and a calm tone. For example, say, “I feel hurt when you talk to me that way” instead of becoming confrontational.
  5. Offer Choices: Giving your child some degree of autonomy can help reduce the likelihood of them talking back. Offer choices within reasonable boundaries to help them feel more in control.
  6. Teach Problem-Solving Skills: Encourage your child to express their feelings and concerns in a respectful manner. Teach them how to find solutions to problems rather than resorting to talking back.
  7. Ignore Mild Backtalk: If the backtalk is minor and not disrespectful, you can choose to ignore it rather than engaging in a power struggle. This can discourage the behavior if it doesn’t get a reaction.
  8. Set Consequences: Be clear about the consequences of disrespectful behavior. For example, if your child talks back, they might lose privileges or have a timeout. Be consistent in enforcing consequences.
  9. Praise Good Behavior: Reinforce positive behavior by praising and rewarding your child when they communicate respectfully and follow the rules.
  10. Lead by Example: Children often mimic the behavior they see in their parents. Make sure you model respectful communication in your interactions with others.
  11. Seek Professional Help: If talking back becomes a chronic and severe issue that disrupts family life or your child’s well-being, consider seeking guidance from a child psychologist or therapist.

Remember that talking back is often a normal part of a child’s development as they assert their independence and test boundaries. Be patient and understanding while guiding them toward more respectful communication.

Is your child anxious? Help them manage it effectively

Dealing with anxious children requires patience, understanding, and a supportive approach. Anxiety in children is a common issue, but with the right strategies, you can help them manage their anxiety effectively. Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Educate Yourself: Learn about childhood anxiety, its common signs, and symptoms. Understanding what your child is going through will help you provide better support. A great book for kids is Anxiety Relief Workbook for Kids: 40 Mindfulness, CBT, and ACT Activities to Find Peace from Anxiety and Worry
  2. Open Communication: Create an environment where your child feels comfortable talking about their feelings. Encourage them to express their worries and fears without judgment. Listen attentively and validate their emotions.
  3. Maintain Routine: Consistency and structure can help reduce anxiety in children. Stick to a regular daily routine for meals, bedtime, and activities. Predictability can provide a sense of security.
  4. Teach Relaxation Techniques: Teach your child simple relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, yoga or progressive muscle relaxation. Practice these techniques together, so they can use them when they feel anxious. Yoga for Children has 200+ Yoga Poses, Breathing Exercises, and Meditations for Healthier, Happier, More Resilient Children.
  5. Positive Reinforcement: Praise and encourage your child’s efforts to confront their fears or worries. Focus on their bravery and progress, no matter how small.
  6. Avoid Avoidance: While it’s natural to want to protect your child from distress, avoiding anxiety-inducing situations can reinforce their anxiety. Gradually expose them to the situations that trigger their anxiety in a controlled and supportive manner.
  7. Limit Media Exposure: Be mindful of the media your child consumes, including TV, movies, and the Internet. Some content can be anxiety-provoking, so monitor and limit their exposure to distressing or violent content.
  8. Healthy Lifestyle: Ensure your child gets enough sleep, eats a balanced diet, and engages in regular physical activity. These factors can have a significant impact on their mood and overall well-being.
  9. Professional Help: If your child’s anxiety is severe or persistent, consider seeking help from a mental health professional, such as a therapist or child psychologist. They can provide specialized interventions and strategies.
  10. Lead by Example: Show your child how to manage stress and anxiety by modeling healthy coping mechanisms. Children often learn from observing their parents.
  11. Promote Social Connections: Encourage your child to spend time with friends and engage in social activities. Positive social interactions can help reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety.
  12. Be Patient: Overcoming anxiety takes time. Be patient and understanding. Celebrate even small victories, and reassure your child that you are there to support them.

Remember that every child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Tailor your approach to your child’s specific needs and consult with professionals if you have concerns about their anxiety. Your consistent support and understanding can make a significant difference in helping them manage their anxiety effectively.
