Slinky Art

Everyone needs a slinky right?  Well being the awesome mom I am, I put slinkys in the kids Easter baskets.  My oldest Marco tends to take regular things and make them his own and as a mom I have struggled to let that creativity shine through.  My first reaction to his creations is to freak out and I have to tell myself he is expressing himself and to just 'Let it Gooooo!' Thank you Frozen for giving me a song to sing on a daily basis!  Marco has an Art of seeing the different and I live that in him and as a mom I am learning that it's ok to not always follow the crowd and play with a slinky the way everyone else does but to make it your own!  Thank you Marco!

This is my entry proposal...

Educate our Youth in the Art of Label Reading

I am on a mission to help others educate children how to be proactive about the toxins in their everyday environment. Label reading is the beginning of the path to knowledge for our youth and changing the "fixed mindset' of, it's safe because the kids on the commercials use it or eat it. I would like to guide adults in the simple task of introducing children to reading the label then researching those hard to read words and how they affect ones body and mind. I am a mother of three children 8, 9, 10 yrs old and have been guiding them through this process of empowering them with knowledge.

  2. What would happen if we didn't assess the outcome of continuing to use products with toxins and could we as a community accept the responsibilities of those outcomes?
  3. How would you prioritize the products you use with toxins and demonstrate a commitment to eliminating these from your life?
  4. What conclusions can you draw from educating our youth in label reading and researching the ingredients of the products we use or eat daily?
