Engage your child in a fun home dental activity to promote oral health awareness and establish family routines. Craft “plaque” slime to demonstrate how it adheres to egg carton “teeth”, simulating the buildup of real plaque. Emphasize the importance of brushing and flossing twice daily to prevent plaque accumulation, which hardens into tartar if not removed. Explain that only a dentist can remove tartar, underscoring the significance of regular oral hygiene. Create the slime by mixing white glue and cornstarch, then apply it to the egg carton “teeth”. Encourage your child to remove the simulated plaque, fostering hands-on learning about dental care.

Life is About Living Fully
The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. When fear runs our hearts and our lives, it shuts us down and it creeps into every crevice of our being. It builds up walls that trap us inside ourselves. When we allow fear and indifference to run our relationships and our life choices instead of love, it strangles us slowly and boldly until one day there is nothing left but a shell of disconnect and dis-ease. Life is about living. Living fully, boldly, courageously, openly, lovingly, embracing and drinking in new experiences and exploring the laboratory we call “life” to its fullest. Learning firsthand what you love and works for YOU and what doesn’t work. When we allow ourselves to embrace life fully, we fill our hearts with meaning and connection and allow our life force to flow by both giving and receiving interchangeably.
