Parents as Teachers
By Amanda Anderson
Stress buster for kids
Children sometimes get wound up
as the holidays approach. Here are
some ideas to help them wind down.
Gel Bags: fill a sturdy llip-top plas-
tic bag partway with hatr styling gel.
Tape it shut for good measure. Gel
bags are relaxing to squeeze, poke and
smooth out. Add a few drops of food
coloring that your child can watch
spread as they squeeze.
Rocking and swinging: sounds like
something you'd do on the dance floor,
right? Not when you've got an upset
child wrapped around your knees•
We're talking about using rocking
chairs and swings, of course. The
steady back-and-forth movement al-
most always comforts kids.
Corn starch and water: put equal
amounts of corn starch and water in a
plastic dishpan. Let your child stir it
with his hands. Playing with this mix-
ture has the same relaxing benefits as
.finger-paint, but has a constantly chang-
mg texture. It doesn't stain. Spills can
be brushed off or vacuumed up after
they dry.
Washington firms
plans expansion
Two Washington, Kan., firms, Liq-
uid Glass and Bradford Built, have
announced expansion plans.
Liquid Glass produces clocks and
other items made from melted bottle
glass, The company expects 'to have
four full-time and six part-time work
ers next year.
Bradford plans to construct a new
building to house the comlrany' s paint-
ing department.
Lighted Horse Parade
Earlier this month the small north
central Kansas community of Barnes
sponsored a lighted horse p~ade to
begin the Christmas season.
