National Child Abuse Prevention Month recognizes the
importance of families and communities working togeth-
er to prevent child abuse and neglect and promotes the
social and emotional well-being of children and families.
During the month of April and throughout the year, com-
munities are encouraged to increase awareness and
provide education and support to families through re-
sources and strategies to prevent child abuse and ne-
glect. Each year, the White House and many states is-
sue proclamations to raise awareness and to encourage
communities to take steps to improve the well-being of
children. Source: https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/

Meadowview Family Resource Center: April/Abril
April’s Health topic is: Eating less animal
products.
This month we would like to continue the
efforts of shifting to a more nutrient filled
diet with less consumption of animal prod-
ucts and more consumption of natural
foods.
Why should we limit our animal products consumption when possible?
The standard American diet consist of high consumptions of red meats,
processed meats (hot dogs, sausage, ham, bacon, salami etc.), pre-
packaged foods, butter, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, eggs, pota-
toes, artificially sweetened drinks, and lots of salt with minimal intake of
fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains. A diet rich in animal
products and processed meats causes our blood levels to become TOO
ACIDIC causing our bodies to have a weaker immune system. Along with a
weaker immune system we become predisposed to weakened bones, in-
creased body inflammation, lack of energy, higher levels of yeast, digestive
difficulties, bad body odor, increased chances of cavities, altered mood,
inconsistent weight, unclear skin (acne, eczema, rash), heart related dis-
eases, cancers, and an increased mortality rate.
Your diet has great potential to harm or heal; the body requires a balance
so it does not become too acidic and can function properly and fight to
prevent disease.
How to make your body less acidic?
You can consume higher portions of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, nuts,
legumes and whole-grain foods and you can minimize the consumption of
animal products and processed foods. By doing these two things you will
be in control over what you put in your body and less worried about high
intake of sugar, sodium, processed foods, and animal products. It is im-
El tema de salud de Abril es: Comer menos pro-ductos de origen animal.
Este mes nos gustaría continuar los esfuerzos de cambiar a una dieta más nutriente con menos consumo de productos animales y más consumo de alimentos naturales.
¿Por qué deberíamos limitar nuestro consumo de productos animales cuando sea posible?
La dieta estadounidense estándar consiste en altos consumos de carnes rojas, carnes procesadas (salchichas, jamón, tocino, salami, etc.), alimentos preenva-sados, mantequilla, alimentos fritos, productos lácteos con alto contenido de grasa, huevos, papas, artificialmente. Bebidas endulzadas y mucha sal con una ingesta mínima de frutas, verduras, nueces, legumbres y granos enteros. Una dieta rica en productos animales y carnes procesadas hace que nuestros nive-les en sangre se vuelvan DEMASIADOS ACIDICOS, lo que hace que nuestros cuerpos tengan un sistema inmunológico más débil. Junto con un sistema in-munitario más débil, estamos predispuestos a tener huesos debilitados, au-mento de la inflamación del cuerpo, falta de energía, niveles más altos de leva-dura, dificultades digestivas, mal olor corporal, aumento de las posibilidades de caries, estado de ánimo alterado, peso inconsistente, piel poco clara (acné, eccema, ronchas) enfermedades relacionadas con el corazón, cánceres y un aumento en la tasa de mortalidad.
Su dieta tiene un gran potencial para dañar o sanar; el cuerpo necesita un equilibrio para que no se vuelva demasiado ácido y pueda funcionar correc-tamente y luchar para prevenir enfermedades ¿Cómo hacer que tu cuerpo sea menos ácido?
Puede consumir porciones más altas de frutas, vegetales, nueces, legumbres y alimentos integrales sin procesar y puede minimizar el consumo de productos de origen animal y alimentos procesados. Al hacer estas dos cosas, tendrá con-trol sobre lo que pone en su cuerpo y estará menos preocupado por el alto consumo de azúcar, sodio, alimentos procesados y productos animales. Es importante encontrar el equilibrio para sentirse mejor en general.
¡No olvides mantenerte siempre hidratado con agua!
Hands are Not for Hitting (Ages 0- 5)
It’s never too soon for children to learn that violence is never
okay, hands can do many good things, and everyone is ca-
pable of positive, loving actions.
In this bright, inviting, durable board book, simple words and
full-color illustrations teach these important concepts in ways
even very young children can understand.
Lauren’s Kingdom by Lauren Book (Ages 4-8)
Includes one of Lauren’s Kids’ Safer, Smarter Kids activities, encouraging children to establish a “Trusted Triangle,” three
grown-up buddies they can go to when they feel unsafe, sad, or just not quite right. Lauren is afraid of the bigger, stronger nanny’s touching and becomes quiet and sad. But, with the help of her friend Rodney, Lauren finds the courage to use her voice. Together, they learn an important lesson for chil-dren everywhere: If you’re choking back tears and your heart’s filled with fears…you know very well, it’s OK to tell.
I Said No! A Kid to Kid Guide to Keeping Private Parts Private.
By Zack and Kimberly King (Ages 5- 10)
We created I Said No! A kid-to-kid guide to keeping private parts
private to include definitions, scenarios, strategies, and help
kids identify their feelings in a kid-friendly, but clear way. Helping
kids practice what to Think, Say, and Do- took us down a path of
generating real life scenarios kids may encounter. I Said
No! really encourages all sorts of communication on the topic
without shame, guilt or uncomfortable feelings. Also covered in I
Said No is the difficult challenge of Telling. Children are encour-
aged to tell and know that it is never their fault.
Don't Hurt Laurie! by Willo Davis Roberts (6th – 8
th grade)
About a girl who is physically and emotionally abused by her mother, Annabelle. Laurie has a stepbrother and stepsister, and Annabelle never hurts them. Laurie's stepfather and his mother also have no idea what is happening. Laurie is afraid to tell anybody, because she is certain that no one will believe her. If no one believes her, then Annabelle's abuse will worsen.
