Learning Creativity
Today my daughter is playing at a fashion design site for kids. I realized it is fun to create your own fashion style. So I tried it myself and this is what I created. It's like nourishing the child within me...yehey...I created one.
Learning Creativity
Creativity is something kids can learn and work at cultivating for the rest of their life. It is learning to see options: the doors and windows of opportunity. When well developed and nurtured, this skill will allow kids to take a most ordinary existence and turn it into an extraordinary life.
Surprising Requirement
Surprisingly, the requirement for vitamin D — 200 IUs or 5 micrograms per day — is the same from birth to age 50. Vitamin D helps the body absorb minerals like calcium and builds strong teeth and bones. It’s called the “sunshine vitamin” because the body can make it when the skin is exposed to sunlight. But vitamin D production is prevented by smog, clouds, dark skin, and sunscreen with an SPF of 8 or more, so it’s a good idea to make sure your child gets 200 IUs of vitamin D every day from food sources.
FOOD SOURCES:
1 ounce salmon serving: 103 IUs
1 ounce tuna (canned in oil, drained): 200 IUs
1/2 cup fortified whole milk: 49 IUs
1 large egg yolk: 25 IUs
1/3 cup fortified, ready-to-eat cereal: 13 IUs
