Quotations About Our Children “Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” – Robert Fulghum “Never help a child with a task at which she feels she can succeed.” – Maria Montessori “All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them.” – Magic Johnson

National Play Outside Day Don’t forget National Play Outside Day. Actually, the first Saturday of every month has been designated as Play Outside Day. Hopefully, all of our parks and playgrounds will be open for our children to enjoy this spring. World Teen Mental Wellness Month On a more serious note, March is World Teen Mental Wellness Month. In fairness to our teenagers, 2020 was an extremely difficult time to be young. Surveys have shown that nearly 50% of teens reported that their mental health has been worse during the pandemic. The quality of our relationships with the teens in our lives is more important than ever. If your teen is struggling, talk, listen, and get professional help if necessary. Things to do with your kids and grandkids in the Terre Haute area this March and April: Nature Hiking for Home-Schoolers Wednesday, March 24, at 1:00 p.m. is Nature Hiking for Home-Schoolers. Hike along the Wabashiki Wetlands. Ages 7 and up. Free. Hopefully, it will be a beautiful sunny day. Trails at Dobb’s Park Walk the trails at Dobb’s Park. I live right next to Dobb’s Park, and I frequently walk the trails with our dogs and grandsons. There is something special about spending time in the woods, relaxing, and enjoying nature. If you are not familiar with Dobb’s Park, you are missing one of the treasures in our community. Kids’ Night Out Friday, March 26, is the Kids’ Night Out at the Vigo County YMCA. Bring towels and swimsuits! A snack will be provided.
I think we will all agree that it has been a long winter, one we hope
will never repeat itself. Spring gives us hope and something to look forward to: new life and a new beginning. Since children love spring — and since our children and grandchildren make our lives more complete — our March newsletter will focus on the youngsters in our lives. Undoubtedly, the pandemic has demonstrated how important our relationships are — particularly the time we spend with our kids and grandkids. I know it has been tough for moms and dads to work from home, care for their kids, and teach their kids. They are exhausted day after day. That being said, the pandemic has given everyone the gift of spending more time than they could have ever imagined with the most important people in their lives. I hope you can use some of the following suggestions to plan and enjoy March with the “youngsters in your life.” Dr. Seuss Day Dr. Seuss Day is in March. Sometimes it is referred to as Read Across America Day. My grandchildren love books by Dr. Seuss. It is hard to only read them once. You might promise the “young ones” in your life that you will read them at least one Dr. Seuss book a day during March. SingWith Your Child March is Sing With Your Child Month. My wife is the singer in our family. She FaceTime’s our 2-year-old granddaughter in Idaho almost daily and sings songs with her. I think I have heard “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider” a thousand times. It always brings smiles and laughter to both my wife and granddaughter.

Dehydration is a big problem. Many people don’t drink
enough water each day — some reports show that 75% of adults in the United States don’t drink enough water, and over a quarter are dehydrated. Though those statistics aren’t widely agreed upon, it’s obvious that most people need more fluids. Even if it feels like you’re drinking a lot of water, remember that water leaves your body every time you sweat, go to the bathroom, and even breathe. Not keeping up with proper water intake can lead to dehydration. Even mild dehydration can cause health problems and impact your brain, heart, skin, and other organs, which can lead to headaches, confusion, fatigue, and gastrointestinal distress.
do we need each day? The amount will differ depending on the person, but one simple way to approximate your necessary daily intake is by dividing your body weight in half and drinking that much water (in fluid ounces) each day. For example, if you weigh 175 pounds, you’d need to drink 87.5 fluid ounces — over half a gallon — of water per day. That might seem like a lot of liquid, but you can easily drink it without trying too hard. All you have to do is be proactive: Start keeping water any place you frequent during the day. Keep a bottle in your car, at your desk, by your favorite
chair, near your workout equipment, etc. Having water easily available in the places you spend the most time each day helps increase your chances of actually drinking it. An alternative approach is to purchase a giant jug that can hold all the water you need to drink in a day. Seeing it all in one place might be intimidating at first, but this method makes things very simple. Keep the jug close, and your water intake will likely increase without too much additional effort. And if you’re just not motivated to drink plain water, you can always add sugar- free flavoring or lemon to make it more enticing.
We all know the solution to dehydration is to drink more water, but exactly how much water
TIPS ON TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR
If you’re injured in an accident, your doctor will probably be your best witness as to how badly you are hurt. We will often talk with your doctor and get a statement and/or deposition from them regarding your injuries. Your doctor’s testimony about the extent of your injuries typically is based upon how well you have communicated your symptoms and how well you have followed their recommendations for treatment. It is very important that you realize your doctor can’t see your pain; you must tell them. Even with all the new medical technology, it is still often difficult for your doctor to see your pain. Your doctor will rely upon your statements as to where and how you hurt. If you have been hurt in an accident, it is critical to tell your doctor about your pain, so they can do a better job of treating you and testifying about the seriousness of your injuries. Follow your doctor’s advice. I recently read the following in a legal brochure: “In every case when a client doesn’t keep their medical appointments, the legal case is hurt.” Throughout my years as a personal injury lawyer, I have found the previous statement to almost always be true.
If you or someone you know has been hurt in an accident, call us. We can help.

3 Ways to Improve Your Harvest Do Something Better in the Garden
Go With the Flow Creating a year-round garden that practically takes care of itself means using principles of permaculture, a philosophy of working with, rather than against, nature. Start by analyzing your space and yard. Determine your soil type and layer mulch or cover crops to protect it. Then, begin planting the same way that’s found in nature — trees grow at the top, shrubs and bushes are below, and other small plants and vines intermingle within. Choose crops that help each other grow (like corn, beans, and squash), and offer aid to your garden without digging up too much soil or disturbing its natural process. Permaculture gardening requires thoughtful planning, but once your crops are in place, nature will take its course.
Plant for Your Health Mass production of your favorite fruits and vegetables reduces their key nutrients. Instead, choose fresh, home-grown varieties to yield greater health benefits. This is good news for those living with heart disease, joint disorders, or other chronic conditions. You can grow a garden chock full of nutrient-rich foods! Colorful fruits, root veggies, onions, and beans are great for joint health, while leafy greens can boost heart health. Grow pumpkins so you can harvest the seeds for better brain function, while berries can support your liver. Before you dig into these new gardening methods, consult with an expert at a nursery or greenhouse to get the best possible results.
There’s something beautiful about cultivating your own harvest, but you can grow more than simple backyard vegetables. Help your garden “grow up” by trying something unique this spring. Grow Fun Foods We plant gardens for a purpose, so why not make it fun! Plant fresh basil, tomatoes, onions, peppers, oregano, and more to create a garden worthy of your next homemade pizza. All you will need to buy is the crust! Pumpkin plants can offer fresh gourds for any Halloween fanatic, while new species of fruits and vegetables can create an exciting home-cooking experience. Try the silver cucumber for a sweet taste or pineberries for a mix between strawberries and pineapples. You just might find a new flavor you love.
