Grandparenting 101

Grandparents play a special and important role in any

family; however, times have changed, as well as information related to

child-rearing. That’s why it’s important to be familiar with current baby-care

issues. This class focuses on infants through three years of age, and will

include information on safety issues, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS),

infant development, schedules and routines, along with a car seat overview. If

you are new or soon-to-be grandparents or are currently raising your

grandchildren, this class is for you.

Increasing Calcium in Your Diet

May is Osteoporosis Awareness Month. The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) recommends that adults consume 1,000 milligrams of calcium

per day, based on a 2,000 calorie a day diet. Adolescents, especially girls,

should get 1,300 mg a day. And post-menopausal women should get 1,200 mg a

day.  So how can you get enough

calcium in your diet?  This cooking

class will provide a demonstration and tasting to answer that question.
