<i>Uggghhhh..... School .... :-S</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you are all getting back into the swing of the school year.... we are trying to adjust! I much prefer the late nights and lazy mornings of summer and I miss the children tons now that they are back! My attempts at developing a routine thus far seem to be in vain - I have spent the last two days running about. So, that is back on the agenda for next week ;-) One routine I am hoping will stick: posting <i>What to Do this Weekend</i> on a weekly basis again now that the summer break is over....that is the goal at least ;-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This weekend brings <b>Doors Open St. John's</b> when several establishments throughout the City open their doors, free of charge, to visitors. It is a great opportunity to explore that place you have always wanted to see, like The Basilica, Clovelly Stables, the Central Fire Station and many more! See the <a href="http://www.doorsopendays.com/">website</a> for more details and a complete list of participating establishments! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Also this weekend we have the <a href="http://torbay.ca/userfiles/files/BIGSMALL.pdf"><b>Family Fun Extravaganza - Big & Small at the Jack Byrne arena</b></a>. This promises to be fun for he young ones: <i>Big & Small</i> award winning family singer Markus is performing; , Douglas John and Oucho the Monkey from <i>Ants In Your Pants</i> will be there AND after the show kids will have the opportunity to meet Howie from <i>Almost Naked Animals</i>! You need tickets in advance <a href="http://torbay.ca/userfiles/files/BIGSMALL.pdf">(see link)</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are many other fun family activities on around town! See below for a snapshot <a href="http://stjohnsmom.blogspot.ca/p/advertising-listings.html">(full details can be found in the calendar)</a>. And, summer may be drawing to a close, but I will point out that there are still many playdates and playgroups for pre-schoolers and their caregivers! Why not check out the Family and Child Care Connections drop-in playgroups; Active Start program at the NL Sports Plex; St. John's Kid Hava Java Playdate or the Playdate in the Park with Oh The Joys of Discovery Toys? They offer great opportunities for your younger children to socialize :-) </div>

The Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States is aware of one incident with a similar water-absorbing polymer ball product in which an 8-month-old ingested a polymer ball and it had to be surgically removed.<br /><br />The recalled products were sold at various retailers and websites from September 2010 to November 2012. (Canadian distributor may have been distributing up to the present).<br /><br /><strong><u>Corrective Action:</u>Consumers should take this recalled product away from children immediately and contact Be Amazing! Toys for a refund.</strong><br />

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
How is your summer thus far? Ours is moving along wonderfully - we have been enjoying the weather, going to the Splash Pad at the Park, lazing at Topsail Beach, having water gun fights, playing street hockey and sleeping under the stars!<br />
<br />
Here is the Short & Sweet list of <b>events and activities around town for the second half of July</b>. You can find full details in the calendar (at the bottom of every page on the blog or<a href="http://stjohnsmom.blogspot.ca/p/advertising-listings.html"> find it here</a>). There are lots of fun things on the go this month - <a href="http://www.aamp.ca/"><b>AAMP</b></a> has a series of kid and family friendly events several times a week at Admiralty House; <a href="http://shakespearebytheseafestival.com/"><b>Shakespeare By The Sea</b></a> is performing at the St. John's Farmers Market and at the Mt. Pearl library in addition to their regular venues; <a href="http://www.mountpearl.ca/?Content=News/Mount_Pearl_City_Days_-_July_19_-_21">Mt. Pearl City Days</a> are celebrating 25 years with several activities including an outdoor showing of <u>Wreck it Ralph</u> and a classic car show ...and ... the <b><a href="http://www.terryrielly.ca/index_files/a.htm#teddy">Teddy Bear Picnic</a></b> is coming up! And MUCH more besides!<br />
<br />
My next What To Do post will be at the end of the month with listings for August. In the meantime, if something comes up and you want to get the word out, please feel free to post it on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Johns-Mom-Blog/146577425398111">Facebook page</a>!<br />

<br />
Sorry about that! While it has been kind of slow here on the blog, everything else has been quite hectic of late! I am hoping to get back to some sort of schedule with the blog in the coming weeks - settle into a summer routine and then be back to "normal" for the Fall. In the meantime, I encourage all my followers to join my<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Johns-Mom-Blog/146577425398111?ref=tn_tnmn"> Facebook page</a> and check it frequently as many event organizers post on the page and can keep you in the loop when I am not around :-)<br />
<br />
Cheers and thanks for sticking with St. John's Mom Blog!<br />

Health Canada is now taking action to identify and have these dangerous products removed from the marketplace. See <strong><a href="http://www.healthandsafetywatch.com/HSWEvents.aspx?EventID=bcd3902e-2572-47e0-8c34-d56159d7e9cd&EntityType=1)">HSW Hazard</a></strong> tab for details.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">▲</span>Swallowing incidents have often resulted in considerable damage to the gastrointestinal tissues and required emergency surgical treatment.

Health Canada is particularly concerned about novelty magnet sets containing more than one small, powerful magnet, regardless of the intended age of the user, where the set is intended for use as a toy or manipulative for general entertainment, such as puzzle working, sculpture building, mental stimulation or stress relief.<br /><br />These sets generally consist of a number of small (various sizes, but commonly 5 mm in diameter) powerful, rare earth element magnetic pieces in spherical, cube and/or cuboid shapes. Rare earth element magnets are many times more powerful than traditional magnets and pose unique dangers. See <strong>Products</strong> tab for a list of identified novelty magnet sets. <span style="color: teal;">Note: <a href="http://www.healthandsafetywatch.com/default.aspx?EventID=875ee407-f9e3-451d-aa82-0f5079ebf099" style="color: #1840a4; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">BuckyBalls brand of magnets </a>have been recalled in Canada.</span><strong><u><img align="left" border="10" height="193" src="http://www.healthandsafetywatch.com/images/eventimages/consumerproducts/magnets2.png" style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 151px; width: 250px;" width="320" />Recommended Action:</u></strong>Health Canada is reminding the public to keep any products with small, loose powerful magnets out of the hands of children of all ages. Retailers are also reminded of the dangers these products may pose to their customers.<br /><br />• Consumers should immediately stop using any novelty magnet sets and contact their municipality for instructions on how to dispose of or recycle the products.<br />• Keep novelty magnet sets out of the reach of children.<br />• Do not allow children to play with small toys or other small items that contain powerful magnets.<br />• Check your children’s toys for wear and tear. Throw away any toys with magnets that have come loose.<br />• Teach children of all ages that magnets and items containing magnets should never be placed in their mouth or nose.<br />• Seek immediate medical attention for any child who has swallowed (or is suspected of having swallowed) one or more magnets. You should also report any injuries or safety concerns.<br />• Read and follow the age recommendations, warnings, safety messages and assembly instructions for products.<br /><br /><strong>Report health or safety concerns:</strong>Health Canada would like to remind Canadians to report any health or safety incidents related to the use of a consumer product or cosmetic.

If you still have time, swing by the Reid Centre in Mt. Pearl for the Crime Prevention Family Fun Day!</li>
<li>Don't forget to have Mexican for supper on Sunday as it is <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo">Cinco de Mayo!</a></b></li>

The cycle of bullying often begins between the ages of four and 11 when children are forming their own social identities at school and through other activities. No matter when it starts, it's important to remember that <em>bullying is not a normal part of growing up</em><strong>.</strong> It needs to be dealt with directly by adults who are willing to recognize there is a problem and take whatever steps must be taken to stop it.</div>

How to help</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
If a child comes to you for help with a bullying situation, he or she may need reassurance as well as practical advice. Use your judgment about the circumstances and get as many details as you can. Here are some things you can say:</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; color: #165c91; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 1em 10px;">
If the child is being bullied</h4>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-image: url(http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/images/template/bullet_theme1.gif); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<li>"Stay calm, try to show you won't get upset. Anger can make things worse."</li>
<li>"As soon as you get bullied, find an adult you trust and tell the adult what happened. It is your right to be safe."</li>
<li>"If you are afraid to tell an adult, ask a friend to go with you."</li>
<li>"Stay close to friends or children you know will stick up for you."</li>
<li>"Stay away from places you know bullying happens."</li>
<li>"If bullying continues, walk away and join other children or ask someone for help."</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="background-color: white; color: #165c91; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 1em 10px;">
If the child sees someone else being bullied</h4>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-image: url(http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/images/template/bullet_theme1.gif); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<li>"Speak out, you can help by telling the bully to stop - nobody deserves to be bullied."</li>
<li>"If you are afraid to speak out alone, ask a friend or many friends to do it with you."</li>
<li>"Comfort the person who was hurt, tell them they don't deserve what happened."</li>
<li>"If you are afraid or telling them doesn't work, find an adult you trust to help you."</li>
<li>"Help children who are bullied. Invite them to participate in your school activities - this will help them not feel like they are alone."</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="background-color: white; color: #165c91; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 1em 10px;">
Assurances you can give children:</h4>

<li>"Despite how it seems, it is not a hopeless situation. Something will be done to stop the bullying, I will help you."</li>
<li>"There is always someone who you can talk to about bullying, whether it's me or another adult/teacher at school."</li>
<li>"Remember, if you walk away and get help, you are part of the solution. If you stay and watch, you are part of the problem."</li>
