NEW!!! AAHA REMODEL SPOTLIGHT
Your Board of Directors
would like to spotlight your
remodel project. We are
looking for homes that have
recently remodeled either a
Kitchen, a bathroom,
outdoors or perhaps another
project. Ideally, we would
like to take some pictures and
interview you (and possibly)
your contractor about the
work you had done. It's a
great way to show how
remodeling and updating can
increase the value of the
homes in our neighborhood.
It does not matter the size of
the project but if you have a
contractor that you were
happy with it's a great way to
help them get more business.
We will even contact our local
realtors John Rohwer and
Char Smith and ask them
what your project might have
added to the value of your
home.
Please contact either Nancy
Sayles @ 402.934.8004 or
Dave Campagna @

Positive Communication With Your Child
Communication involves expressing
your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. An
essential part of positive communication
is listening.
With children, positive communication
can help them feel comfortable talking
about their thoughts and feelings openly.
They can also learn to respect the
opinions, feelings, and thoughts of other
people.
As parents and child care providers, you
can take important steps to build healthy
communication with your children.
Several elements are needed to build
healthy communication skills: Having a
loving attitude, listening, and
understanding what is being said. Your
child can learn to be a positive
communicator through your example.
By practicing positive communication
skills, children can grow to be
responsible and thoughtful individuals.
HEALTHY COMMUNICATION
Parents and caregivers can help children
share their questions, thoughts, feelings,
and ideas in a positive and appropriate
manner by:
- Listening patiently: Your child may not
understand his own behavior or the
expected, appropriate behavior. Help
him understand by listening to what he
says before correcting or disciplining
him.
- Clarifying: Repeat back to your child
what she said. Check if you understand
her correctly. This will help your child
feel you are listening to her.
- Allowing children to solve their own
problems: Gently guide your child to
discover his own solutions by
acknowledging his thoughts and actions.
Respond with brief answers, such as
“Yes” or “Really?” This encourages
your child to express emotions with
words and find solutions to concerns.
Asking your child open-ended questions
also helps him find answers, for
example,“How would you feel if that
happened to you?”
- Speaking in a calm and respectful tone:
This will help your child learn to listen
and speak appropriately. A loud, harsh
voice may cause your child to be too
scared or angry to listen.
- Choosing the best times to talk about
important issues:
If your child is hungry or tired, she may
find it difficult to listen or manage her
emotions.
- Using positive language: Avoid
negative statements like, “I don’t care
what you say,” or, “You never do what I
ask you to do.”
- Focusing on behavior, not on
character: Instead of saying, “You are a
bad boy because you never put your toys
away,” say, “It makes a big mess when
you don't put your toys away.”
- Being specific with instructions: This
will reduce the chance for your child’s
mistakes and your frustration.
For example, instead of saying, “Clean
up your room,” say,“Please pick up your
books and put them on the shelf in your
bedroom.”
- Role-playing: If your child is having
difficulty understanding why she is
being disciplined, you can role-play to
help her see the situation from a different
perspective. For example, if your child
hits another child, use puppets or other
toys to “replay” the situation.
OPPORTUNITIES TO
COMMUNICATE
As parents and child care providers, you
can create opportunities to communicate
with your children and be involved in
their daily lives by:
- Reading with children. Ask questions
about the story or how they would
handle a specific situation in the story.
- Being involved at school by attending
important events \such as parent/teacher
conferences, artistic performances, and
athletic events; volunteering to
chaperone for field trips; or helping with
school projects.
- Asking open-ended questions about
daily activities so your child will
respond with more than “yes” or “no.”
- Having family nights, outings, and
trips for the purpose of spending time
together.
- Making time to play with children.
- Scheduling weekly or monthly family
meetings to share information and
discuss important family issues.
- Being involved with school projects or
volunteering to chaperone for school
events.
- Eating meals together whenever
possible, and allowing each family
member a chance to talk about their day.
C O M M U N I C AT I O N W I T H
YOUNGER CHILDREN
As your infant or toddler begins to form
words and phrases, you can develop
positive communication with your child
by:
- Holding your child close to you when
you speak.
- Making eye contact.
- Using a soft, soothing voice.
- Speaking clearly
LONG-TERM EFFECTS
Practicing healthy communication skills
with your children will have positive
effects on their lives by:
- Encouraging an open relationship,
letting them know they can talk to you
even when they are scared or angry.
- Cultivating responsible and
independent children by teaching them
to think about options and the
consequences of their actions.
- Building their confidence to express
themselves.
- Helping them develop skills to get
along well with others.
Although children should be
encouraged to communicate their own
thoughts and feelings,
it is important for parents to protect and
speak on behalf of their children when
they are harmed. Children will develop
confidence to speak for themselves.

Making Your Home Safe from Fire and Carbon Monoxide
The safety issue is extremely important
today, as thousands of injuries and
untimely deaths are occurring
needlessly. Many of these injuries and
deaths can be prevented.
Everyone wants to live in a safe and
worry-free environment with their
families, spouse, and children.
However, most people are closer to a
disaster waiting to happen than they
think. You, the consumer, may feel safe.
Safety may not be an issue that comes to
mind as you go about your daily routine.
Yet, lurking in your home are dangers
that can take lives and destroy property.
General Fire Prevention Tips
Do not plug too many appliances into an
electrical outlet.
Make sure that combustibles are not too
close to heaters, stoves and fireplaces.
Never smoke in bed or overstuffed
furniture, or leaving a burning cigarette
in an ashtray.
Do not use damaged or frayed electrical
cords or extension cords.
Keep matches and lighters out of the
reach of children.
Teach your children about the dangers of
playing with fire.
Never use extension cords with heating
or air conditioning equipment.
Purchase smoke alarms and fire
extinguishers for each floor of your
home.
Have an Emergency Escape Plan!
Practice it frequently!
Develop an emergency exit plan and an
alternate exit plan. The most obvious
way out may be blocked by fire. A
window will usually be the second way
out of a bedroom. Make sure that screens
or storm windows can be easily
removed. If you lice in a two-story
home, you should have an escape ladder
for each occupied bedroom. Escape
ladders are available for purchase, and
they can easily be stored under a bed or
in a closet.
Establish a meeting place outside your
home to be sure everyone has escaped.
Every family member should participate
in practice escape drills at least two time
per year.
In the event of fire, do not stop to get
dressed or gather valuables. Seconds
count - do not search for the family pet.
Teach your family that in a fire they must
stay low to the floor to avoid smoke and
intense hear. Passageways may be
completely filled with dense smoke, so
everyone should practice exiting on
their hands and knees while blindfolded.
Train family members to feel closed
door before exiting. If the door is warm,
open it slowly, and close it quickly if
heat or smoke rushes in.
Establish a rule that once you're out, you
never re-enter under any circumstances.
As soon as two people have reached the
meeting place, one should call 911 from
a neighbor's house.
ones for different kinds of fires. Install
fire extinguishers on every level of the
home and include the kitchen, basement
and garage.
How To Protect Yourself
To avoid CO exposure in the home, it is
important to:
Make sure heating appliances are
installed and used in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure chimneys and vents draw all
gases out of the home.
Have the heating system, chimney and
vents inspected and services annually by
qualified heating contractor.
Never use charcoal grills indoors.
Never heat your home with a gas kitchen
range.
Always use a kitchen range hood, vented
to the outdoors, when cooking on a gas
range.
Never warn-up or run vehicles or other
gasoline engines in garages or indoors.
SmokeAlarms
Partly because of efforts by the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
and local fire departments, many
jurisdictions require smoke alarms for
homes and businesses. Through
education and media campaigns, most
people now realize the importance of The U.S. Consumer Product Safety

2015 Armbrust Acres Baseball Field & Park Shelter
Reservation Guidelines For Coaches And Neighbors
Armbrust Acres resident Shane
Belohrad has been responsible for
scheduling the Armbrust Acres baseball
field and the park shelter in the past. We
are thankful to be able to say that Shane
will continue to manage the scheduling
in 2015. The park shelter and the
baseball field are part of Armbust Park,
which is owned and maintained by the
Armbrust Acres Homeowners
Association. Park rules and guidelines
are standardized to ensure all Armbrust
homeowners and every eligible team
has an opportunity to use the field,” said
Shane.
Please contact Shane via email at
shane_belohrad@ajg.com for more
information about the usage rules and
the availability for the spring sessions
(March-July). Once the rules and
availabilities have been discussed,
coaches may start to schedule the time
slots requests with Shane via email as
early as noon on Sunday, February 8th.
If you would like to make use of the Park
Shelter for a family event or something
similar, call Shane at (402) 676-7854 to
make a reservation for your special
occasion.
