Tribal Head Start says watch out for stress in children By Lori Jay-Linstrom, Parent Involvement Coordinator December can be a busy and stressful month for families. Whatever your special holiday is, the holiday season can cause stress in our young children. They respond to stress in their own ways - crying, tantrums, clinging, exces sive energy or temporary regression such as thumb sucking. Here are some tips you might find helpful for your young children: • • Establish predictable routines. Eat regular meals. Make sure children get enough sleep. Plan for rest time. Children need to know what is going to happen. Take time to explain the day’s activities. Prepare ahead for a hectic day. Put your children's clothes out the night 2012/2013 HUNTING/FISHING INCENTIVES Reminder to all Siletz Tribal members: Please report all harvests of deer, elk and salmon to the Natural Resources Department. The name on the tag will be submitted into a drawing after the seasons end and could receive one of the following Cabela’s gift card incentives. HUNTING INCENTIVES $100 ~ $75 ~ before. Plan for snacks. Quick take- along snacks such as crackers, veg gies and fruit require no refrigeration and can be shared when shopping lines are long or hunger makes tem pers flare. • Allow time for children to play. Plan frequent activity breaks. Find fun things you can do together. Check your child's weekly Head Start packet for more holiday stress tips. On Dec. 10-11, all Head Start class rooms will invite parents in to make Christmas crafts. This is a fun activity for all and the crafted items are things families will cherish for years to come. Before the end of the year, our Head Start programs will have completed all 45- and 90-day requirements of devel opmental testing, health screens, dental screens, heights, weights and BP. We have had our first parent meetings with a volunteer training and the selection of Policy Council and Parent Committee positions. Thank you to all parents who self-nominated at the parent orientation and first home visits. 2012 ARCHERY TAGS LATE SEASON $50 CABELA’S GIFT CARDS Deer and Elk FISHING INCENTIVE First Distribution Oct. 22-Nov. 4,2012 Issued to those who have not received a deer archery tag or any elk tag in 2012 $50 CABELA’S GIFT CARD Please report all harvests to: Mike Kennedy 541-444-8232 mikek@ctsi.nsn.us or Rosie Williams at 541-444-8227 rosiew@ctsi.nsn. us Second Distribution Nov. 5 - Dec. 9, 2012 Remaining tags issued to any eligible Siletz Tribal member • Salem Head Start — no classes from Dec. 19, 2012, through Jan. 3, 2013.

Photo by Natasha Kavanaugh Rusty Butler Hello, my name is Rusty Butler and 1 am currently working as the Prevention coordinator for the Tribe. There are many struggles in life and I believe if we are given the opportunity and support, we can make a difference in our lives and community. 1 also believe that through our culture and teachings, we have the power to heal. It is difficult to do this type of work without the help, support and guidance from our community. I will focus on prevention and intervention strategies, cultural awareness and positive alternatives. 1 am currently looking within our Tribal programs and community to see if there are people willing to work together to achieve some of these goals. 1 also will engage in school activities as allowed. If we can utilize resources and be consistent with any plan of action, 1 feel we will be successful. Volunteers are needed and welcomed, following the approval through your program. 1 am open to any suggestions from the community and look forward to working together.
