Talbot Humane Issues Pet Danger Alert

With summer weather approaching, Talbot Humane is reminding pet owners that leaving a pet in a parked car on a warm day can be deadly.
Temperatures inside cars can climb to over 120 degrees in minutes, even with windows left partially open.  Surface temperatures of seats and dashboards can exceed 180 degrees. Pets may suffer brain damage or die from heat stroke.
“A hot parked car is a deathtrap,” emphasized Talbot Humane Executive Director Brian Metcalf. “Your pet feels heat a lot worse than you do. Imagine a typical 80-degree day with high humidity. How would you feel if you were wearing a fur coat on a day like that, trapped in a parked car with the temperature soaring?”

Pediatricians Discourage Drinking Alcohol

 

Pediatricians Discourage Drinking Alcohol
 
A new policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics says pediatricians need to work hard to discourage children and teens from drinking alcohol because it damages brains, increases their risk of addiction and can cause accidents that lead to an early death.
 
The policy statement, in Pediatrics journal, points out that alcohol use among kids and teens:
• Is the major contributor to the leading causes of teen deaths: accidental injury (particularly car accidents), homicide and suicide.
• Increases greatly the chances teens will engage in other risky actions such as substance use, unsafe sex and violent behavior.
• Is more likely to result in binge drinking than alcohol use among adults. That can be fatal. For young people, binge drinking is three or four drinks on one occasion, Williams says.
• Affects developing brains and general health, including possibly harming liver function and ability to fight infections
 

7 Things Every Parent and Educator Should Know About Learning Challenges

7 Things Every Parent and Educator Should Know About Learning Challenges

1. Attention problems are often a symptom, not the real issue...
In her book, Why Our Children Can't Read Dr. Diane McGuinness says, "The worse you are at something, the more brain cells you need to do it, the harder it is to keep doing it, and the harder it is to keep your attention focused on what you're doing" When it takes more effort to do something, the brain burns more glucose, using energy, which can eventually lead to exhaustion. In order for the brain to efficiently process information, it has to regulate levels of attention.
