SlIL 3 YAY TYMOO WAKM SPRINGS, OltKKO.N 9776 1 April 25, 1986 u Look for No parent intentionally contri butes to feelings of low worth in their children; however, some times carelessly or thoughtlessly, the best of pictures are not presented to children. Here are a few items to think about: Appropriate expectations. Few children can live up to parental expectations. Standards are im portant to work toward but can become detrimental to children's views of their abilities. Children do their best to learn manners, remember rules, sit still, and share, measure themselves by your standards, do you make them feel that they're improving? A child who cannot meet a parent's expectations, soon gets the message, "I have little faith in you when you aren't measuring up." Remembering what children of each age can do will help you have more realistic expectations. Promote trust. Let children Treat for As the weather warms early in the year, many insects emerge and begin spreading out in search of food and nesting areas. Fre quently these insects, including ants, invade homes. Many homeowners are con cerned that ants they see in the house come from nests in the walls or in the subflooring. In many cases these ants come in from outdoors, but if they are present in fairly large numbers, they may have a nest inside the home. To find the source of the ant invasion, first take steps to keep ants from coming into the house. Apply an emusificable pesticide in the form of a spray around the foundation of the house. Diazinon is one formula tion available for this purpose. In preparing the spray, dilute the concentrate with water according to label directions. Do not use more pesticide per gallon of water than is specified on the label and do not reuse measuring devices for any other purpose. Take a challenge Are you ready to take a chal lenge?

Mr t.t 1) CHECK THE BOARD The Oregon State Extension Office put up a board on which all 4-H Clubs schedules are posted Molly Marsh stated the schedule was put up so parents and 4-Hers could just stop by, take a look and know where and when the meetings would take place. the best in your child show unhappy or angry feelings without fear of rejection. It's easy to share in accomplishment and joy, but other feelings are also part of getting along in different situations. You enhance self-image when you understand and comfort children in different times. Avoid degrading them in front of others or allowing others to tease or belittle them. Pre schoolers must believe you're on their side. Respond immediately when children behave well. "You were helpful when we were in the grocery by sitting quietly in the cart" makes a child proud. They strive to hear you say it again. Too often children's desirable behaviors are taken for granted while attention is focused on mistakes. This makes it difficult for children to gather enough positive pictures of themselves to build a high self-image. Con- ants If this pesticide application doesn't stop the spread of ants in home, you may have ant nests inside. To eliminate the nest, use a household pressurized spray. Many brands are available at garden stores. Apply the spray as near as possible to where you believe the nests are located. Apply the pesticide on nearby surfaces and into any cracks or openings that ants can use to enter a room You may have to treat such places as cracks along baseboards, window frames, and door frames; cracks in floors or walls; areas around electrical outlets and plumbing or heating pipes; and areas around sinks, and bathtubs. Treat ceiling molding if you have high-climbing ants. Limit the treatment to places frequented by the ants. If ants continue to appear after a treatment, they probably are entering over surfaces that have not been treated. Treat surfaces that may have been missed before. Give the treatment a few days to take effect. Take mother to breakfast The annual Mother's Day Breakfast sponsored by the 4-H leaders association will be held May 11, from 8:30 to 11 :30 a.m. Cost is $2.50 each and $ 1 .00 for pre-schoolers.

Be sensitive to children's feelings. Shyness, anger, extreme dependence on you, misbehavior, or nervous habits may signal a troubled self-image. Put yourself in your children's shoes, Is there enough recognition, tenderness, and encouragement flowing their way? Some children need more encouragement than others to help them feel good about them selves. Psychologists define love as helping someone to grow. Aside from the unconditional affection you freely give your children, helping their growth lies in under standing the world from their point of view. Control diabetes through meals Careful meal planning is an essential part of the treatment program for type II diabetes. Many people with type II diabetes have learned to control their blood glucose simply by making minor, but strategic, changes in what they eat, how much they eat, and how often they eat. You may think that "watching your diet" means that you'll be restricted to tasteless foods or have to cut down drastically on calories. This isn't usually the case. While some foods may have to be avoided, you will soon discover that many of the things you like ice cream, breads, can be included in a well-planned diabetic diet. Weight control is important in managing " ur diabetes. By Prune hedges after flush of spring There is no time like the present to trim shaggy hedges in the home landscape. Hedges are generally trimmed to promote compact growth and to make the individual plants blend with one another. The best time to trim a hedge is after the flush of spring growth which is generally sometime in March, or in some years as late as April. Trimming after the flush of growth will help the Budgeting may spell relief Here's help from the Oregon State University Extension Service.

For many Foods to avoid, and substitutes Added sugars like those in candies, cakes and sodas raise . blood sugar minutes after they're consumed. Read labels and watch for sucrose, dextrose, fructose, honey, or corn sweetners. Animal fats raise blood fat levels after a meal. If you eat fatty foods often, blood fats are apt to remain high. This may aggravate such diseases as atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Low fiber foods are deficient in a non-digestable plant substance (fiber) that slows the absorption of sugars.

Trimming after the flush of growth will help the hedge hold its desired shape longer because growth later in the year will not be as dramatic. When shearing a hedge, remem ber to make the bottom wider than the top so the light can reach all the leaves. When the end ot the month comes, sorting through the bills and deciding which ones you'll pay and which ones you're not going to pay is another sign of financial distress. Unfortunately, the various brands of antacid on the market won't spell relief for financial stress. Earning more can be one answer.
