How To Be A Better Parent
It's not a secret that children do not come with a manual,
but most of us wish they did!
However, if you want to know how to be a better parent read the Brain Color article entitled "How knowing your brain color can make you a better parent" in Chicago Parent Magazine.
Last month, free lance writer, Sara Fisher interviewed me for the article, which has been published in the February issue.
The article discusses how Parents can:
1. Determine their child's Brain Color
2. Parents communicate with their children more effectively
3. Speak fluent Brain Color
4. Learn to discipline their children more appropriately,
according to their personality
5. Understand why they were attracted to each other
6. Improve their relationship
Happy Parenting!
P.S. Many Thanks to Sarah and Tamara for the article!

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Used Toothpicks for Dental Hygiene
Years ago, my mother began using The Doctor's BrushPicks to prevent gum disease. I found it rather odd because she was such an elegant and proper lady. I find it difficult to write about toothpicks and my mother in the same sentence. The words and image are an oxymoron.
However, the toothpicks are a lovingly referred to "Mimi Picks" by our family members and friends who are devoted to these little "plastic pastel plaque preventers".
Periodontist Sally Cram, DDS, a spokeswoman for the American Dental Association said, "There are a lot of studies that suggest that oral health, and gum disease in particular, are related to serious conditions like heart disease." Our dental hygienist is pleased with how healthy our gums and teeth are because of our "Mimi Picks".
I used to purchase the large 250 count containers at our local Walgreens Drug Store, However, they no longer sell them and stopped carry the small toothpick packages. The alternative was to find another pick, but I couldn't. My "Yellow Brain" loyalty is to a superb product, so I researched purchasing my supply online.
I was pleased and amused when I found them on Amazon. My amusing surprise was not the good ratings or price, but the advertisement:
Toothpicks, colors may vary, 250 picks
Buy new: $2.75
1 Used & new from $2.75
Amazon.com Search Results for "doctors toothpicks"
Brushpicks, 250 Ea
Buy new: $2.99
4 Used & new from $2.54
4.3 out of 5 stars (15)
Notice anything strange...
Used
Who would want to purchase Used toothpicks.
Keep you teeth healthy and try our "Mimi Picks"...
just remember to order the new ones!

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Childhood Obesity and Adult Weight Loss
I was impressed when I learned that First Lady, Michelle Obama has taken on childhood obesity as her focus for 2010.
However, I would really be really excited and encouraged if her focus also included an greater awareness and more education about the increase of children who are over weight and are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
Today, while I was waiting for my chiropractic adjustment at Dr. Randy Horning's office I noticed a shocking sign on the wall that halted my "Green Brain" processing, until read the sign aloud...
"For every 10 pounds you are over weight.
you add 40 pounds of pressure to your joints."
That's a huge amount of pressure. I also learned the 68% of Americans are over weight. Another reminder that obesity is linked to heat attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, depression, cardiovascular disease and, of course,Type 2 diabetes.
This also got me thinking about the medical device exhibitors I met when I presented my Brain Color Workshops at the AOHP national conference last September. EZ Way, Inc., Dane Technologies, Inc. and PHS West, Inc. all manufacture devices to keep health care workers and over weight patients safe.
Weight loss is a call to action for Americans to encourage the people we care about to lower the numbers on the scale, which will lower health risks, medical cost and insurance premiums!
Let's tip the scale towards better health for children and adults!

Another fascinating "Green Brain" email and brilliant innovation from my friend Danielle.
This one caught my "foot" instead my eye!
It's the Mag Shoe!
If the US and other governments are smart they will invest in the Mag Shoe, which is manufactured by IDO security 2000- Ltd.! It is sure to save time and aggravation. Plus, we will longer resemble clumsy rejects from Cirque du Soleil struggling to remove our shoes and going bare foot, if we forget a pair socks, while attempting to keep our feet clean and uncontaminated as we pass through the airport security check-in.

Today, my friend, Danielle, sent me a link to a YouTube video. I always watch or read what Danielle send me. She is a "Green Brainer" and researches her information before sending it to others.
After I watched that video I saw another video on the side of the page entitled "Breakthrough Diabetes Research from Israel." I immediate clicked on the link to learn about this encouraging research.
The video stated that the drug Alpha 1-Antitrypsin, which already has FDA approval, could be the key will unlocks the mystery to curing Type 1 diabetes and also help individuals who have Type 2 diabetes.
Let's keep our carrots and our fingers crossed
that a cure for diabetes has been discovered!

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) A Glazov Returns to Russia via Pravda
Today, I opened a Google News Alert and discovered a stunning surprise!
I clicked on the link and found an article entitled "Colour Theory May Help Parents to Understand Child Behaviour." The article had been translated from the Portuguese version, which had appeared on the iG portal last week. The writer was Lisa Karpova,an independent journalist. Lisa also writes for Russiansentry Blog, which offers readers a fascinating perspective of world news.
Next to Lisa name I read PRAVDA.Ru the English version of Russian newspaper. My "Green Brain" could hardly process what I was reading. I had to read PRAVDA.Ru again to make sure I had read it correctly. Yes, it was Pravda the Russian News paper! To be absolutely sure I scrolled up the page until newspaper's logo appeared, then my excitement exploded!
I'm sure my maternal grandmother who was born in Zhytomyr; my maternal grandfather who was born in Petefka (no longer on the map); and my father-in-law, who was born Alexandrovsk, and who's last name pre-Ellis Island was Beloglazov (the same as Sergei and Anatoli, the famous twin brothers who were champion Olympic wrestlers) would all be shocked and delighted with this news. Just as I was.
I can just imagine my family members reading
the newspaper article and "Kvelling!"
(The Yiddish word for bursting with pride.)
Now, my family teases me and says,
"Were in the World is Sheila Glazov?,
instead of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"
Lisa, Thank you for returning a Glazov
to Russia via Pravda!

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) An Insult or Courtesy to Assist Senior Citizens
My husband and I shop at our local Costco to stock up our freezer and household pantry. Jordan usually organizes and packs the boxes. It's in his DNA. My father-in-law could have won an Olympic Gold Medal for packing suitcases, car trunks and organizing desks, closets and drawers. Papa Joe was a professional organizer before it was a popular profession.
The last time we were loading our carts at the check out a young man asked,
"Do you need any help?"
The time before that were in the parking lot loading our truck and a young woman asked, "Do you need any help?"
Each time we replied, "Thank you for asking, we are fine."
Each time they replied, "Are you sure?"
Each time we responded, "Yes, we are sure, thank you for asking!"
Last Saturday, I attended our granddaughter's ballet class. After our ballerina was settled, my daughter-in-law ushered me into a small waiting room. It was crowed with young mothers leaning against the walls or perched on a limited number of chairs.
Those who were seated sequentially asked me,
"Would you like to sit down?"
Each time I replied, "No thank you, I'm fine."
Each time they replied, "Are you sure?"
Each time I responded, "Yes, I'm sure, thank you for asking!"
Lately, my "Yellow Brain" has been wondering...
1. Is "I'll be 65 on February 2nd" written across my forehead?
2. Are Jordan and I finally looking "old"? People have always told us, "You're in such good shape, you don't look your age."
3. How lovely and refreshing... people are respectful and polite!
4. I don't feel like about to receive Medicare benefits.
5. I don't feel like a "Senior Citizen".
6. I don't feel that I need the assistance (lifting is an excellent preventative for osteoporosis).
I might be undergoing a transformation...
I may no be sensitive or shocked by people's comments,
I might be delighted that people are courteous and caring.
What do you think?

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) How Parents Can React Positively To Misbehaving Children
I received another email from Clarissa Passos, the iG Manager of the Entertainment section in Brazil. Clarissa told me that she posted her interview question and my "Brain Color Clues" about parents reacting positively to their children's misbehavior on the iG site. Her email prompted me to share my responses with you.
“Yellow Brain Parents” are responsible and dependable organizers who value orderliness and have traditional views about their children’s behavior. They expect their children to be respectful and to follow their rules. “Yellow Brain Children” need to know what is expected of them at home and at school. They become stressed and misbehave if their schedules are disrupted. Parents need to inform them about their plans.
“Blue Brain Parents” are affectionate and devoted nurturers who love spending time with their children and desire harmonious relationships. They want their children to be cooperative and communicative. “Blue Brain Children” love spending time talking and playing and sharing with their family. They misbehave when they are not given the opportunity to talk about what is disturbing them and often will feel guilty that they might have caused a problem. Parents need to listen carefully to their upsets.
“Green Brain Parents” are undemonstrative and objective problem-solvers who need a place where they can have peace and quiet from their family. They require their children to be independent and self-sufficient. “Green Brain Children” prefer time to themselves or playing with one friend at a time. They misbehave and stress out if they are required to talk and participate with others, when they do not want to. Parents need to offer them privacy and time to process their thoughts.
“Orange Brain Parents” are enthusiastic, energetic and open-minded. They enjoy having fun with their children and consider themselves a “Kid at Heart.” They encourage their children to be resourceful and to take risks. “Orange Brain Children” like a variety of hands-on activities and sports they can play with their friends. Following somebody’s rules and having their freedom curtailed causes them to misbehave. Parents need to give them time to have fun and be themselves.
I would encourage you to utilize these ideas and practice them with your...
"Little Darling"
or your...
"Dennis the Menace!"

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Shopping For Shoes In Brazil
Yesterday, after retuning from a pre-planning conference workshop with the several members of the Illinois Risk Management Services IRMS department, which is a subsidiary of the Illinois Hospital Association, I checked my website statistics. I was astonished and excited to see 50,698 hits on the site and 1,357 visitors.
Evidently, my interview with Clarissa Passos, the Manager of the Entertainment section of www.ig.com.br, had been posted. iG is turning 10 years old this week. iG made history in the webJournalism with its news website, Último Segundo, and became the secondmost visited web portal in Brazil. Today, they are the only Internetportal with exclusive offices in Rio e Brasília.
Clarissa had learned about the book when she relieved an e-mail press release from the publisher, Editora Novo Conceito, about the Qual a cor do seu cérebro? (What Color Is Your Brain?). Clarissa said, "I read it and found it very interesting." I was honored and delighted by Clarrisa's request and appreciated the her thorough interview.
"Blue Brain Synchronicity," again. My site was redesigned by two young men who had worked for our son when he lived it Brazil.
I logged onto the iG site and typed my name in the "Buscar" (Search) box. I was able to translate the Portuguese interview using the SDL FreeTranslation.com. The extensive interview for the Brazilian audience discussed many of the topic I have already blogged about in English, so I decided not repeat them in this blog. However, I wanted to share the following question and answers that I thought would be amusing and helpful.
IG: Let's talk about daily situations and the brain colors... For example, can you illustrate some classical attitudes of a blue brain woman in front of a shop, when she sees that marvelous pair of shoes, but wonders if she has the necessary cash to buy it this month? What about an orange brain, what would she typically do? And the yellow? And the green?
I laughed when I read this question because it is so very Brazilian! Our Brazilian daughter-in-law and Brazilian/American granddaughter LOVE sapatos (shoes)! We joke that Brazilian women's love affair with shoes is part of their DNA. It was amazing to watch our granddaughter, when she was only 2 1/2 years old, walking in her mother's 4” red patent leather stiletto heels. One of her favorite activities is shopping in my closet for a pair of shoes to play in. I laugh and say that she is going to have to get a job at an early age "to pay for her passion for pumps."
“Brain Color Shopping”
A “Blue Brain” woman likes to shop with her friends at Shopping Iguatami (one of the finest shopping mall in São Paulo). While window shopping, she falls in love with a marvelous pair of shoes and knows they would be the perfect accessory for her new dress. If she feels good about the shoes, she will buy them and hope she has enough money in her checking account. “Blue Brainers” do not concern themselves with money and don’t keep track of their account balance. They focus on feelings and intuition, not finances and not logic.
A “Yellow Brain” woman will have planned in advance to go to Shopping Iguatami and look for a marvelous pair of shoes, even before she discovers them. She knows she can check that task off her list when she sees shoes that are practical and affordable. She knows exactly how much money she has because she responsibly organizes her finances and saves her money. She will buy the shoes only if they meet here pre-planned criteria and budget.
A “Green Brain” woman prefers to shop on line and avoid the crowds at Shopping Iguatami, but will go to a store to actually see and try on the shoes before making a decision. She will have completed her research for the best online price and will have looked for sales in the newspaper advertisements. She is purposeful about her purchase and will buy the shoes, only if she truly needs them, from the source with the best price.
An “Orange Brain” woman falls in love with several “I must have those” shoes at Shopping Iguatami. She did not plan on of looking for a pair of shoes, her purpose was to have fun and enjoy the experience. She has a difficult time deciding which pair of shoes she likes best, so she purchases all the shoes that strike her fancy, regardless of cost. Her attitude about money is: “Money is meant to be spent”, which she does, even if she cannot afford or doesn’t need the shoes.
I trust shoe shopping, no matter where you life or how you handle
your finances, will be more comfortable!

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Diabetes Capital and Artificial Pancreas
I recently read two astounding article about diabetes management.
The first article focused on Logan County, West Virginia, which has been called the
"Diabetes Capital of the United States." The article said the residents of Logan County, population 36,00, know about the risks of diabetes, but find it difficult to change their eating habits and way of life. Family genetics, bad eating habits, lack of exercise, obesity, poor lifestyle choices and denial have contributed to the diabetes epidemic in the United States, which is rapidly growing world wide. There were 10 million people in the United States with Type 2 diabetes in 1975, today there are 23 million.
The second article was most encouraging because of the exciting news about an experimental artificial pancreas that will be available for testing on people with diabetes. Dr. Aaron Kowalski, research director of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's artificial pancreas project said the commercial model could possible be available within 4 years. The device was developed by Johnson & Johnson.
This is exciting news for approximately 6 million people (and their families) in the United States who have Type I diabetes and are insulin dependent. However, the device is not a cure for diabetes, but a device to help people improve their diabetes management and prevent life threatening complications.
The first article my "Blue Heart" Sad.
The second article made my "Blue Heart" Smile!

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) A Birthday Salute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
My memory of the Civil Rights Movement is vivid and the TV, radio and newspaper coverage still resonates with me. How different that coverage would be today with the Internet, social media and the technology connects us to a people and places we might have only read about in books or magazines.
The United States had been in civil turmoil because of long-over due changes. We needed to be a country of inclusion instead of exclusion. Sadly, today in some areas of our country that need still exist. I believe, that Dr. Martin Luther King's words must be remembered as a mantra for another change to end the terrorism and hatred that has become pervasive, not only in the United States, but around the world.
I only listen to NPR radio. The other day, the news hour began with a BBC report. All four stories were about war and terrorism.
The earthquake in Haiti has brought so many people together to help the victims of a natural disaster.
How encouraging it would be if people and governments used their "Blue Brains" to communicate and collaborate with one another to prevent and put an end to the ongoing man-made disasters of hatred and bigotry, which has cause wars and terrorism.
It always amazes me to think about the "Green Innovative Brain Power" that has created the technological changes in the world. Just image if that energy could be harnessed to create ways to offer people education, food, jobs and a safe home for their families.
I am always fascinated by that fact that throughout history the "Haves" and the "Have Nots" have fought for power and control over one another, made peace with one another and then forgiven one another for killing each other.
Dr. King said, "The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood."
I think the optimum words are "secure and liveable world."

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Yummy Gluten Free Bread
My favorite meal of the day is breakfast and I enjoy eating it any time of day!
My "Yellow Brain Breakfast Plan" is: A bowl of fresh mixed berries, a spinach or mixed veggie omelet (usually 2 egg whites), a piece of toast and a cup of tea.
Because of my sensitivities I need to eat foods that are "Free" of Gluten, Corn, Soy, Dairy and Vinegar. My choices are limited. For a long time, I was enjoying Food For Life Millet Bread. However, I recently reread the ingredients and realized that it contained Xanthan Gum, which I have also become sensitive to because it connection with corn.
Good News.... Drum Roll....
Roses Bakery makes a "Yummy" Seeded Sandwich Bread. It's crunchier than the millet bread and the seeds add a delightful texture.
Now, I am enjoying my favorite meal more than I did before.
My "not corny-free" paraphrase of an old expression...

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Easy Tips to Keep 2010 New Year's Resolutions
The tradition of the New Year's Resolutions can be traced back to 153 B.C. Janus, a mythical king of early Rome was placed at the head of the calendar. With two faces, Janus could look back on past events and forward to the future. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions and many Romans looked for forgiveness from their enemies and also exchanged gifts before the beginning of each year.
We are now two weeks into 2010. Some of us we have been keeping our New Year's Resolutions and others have not. I have found it to be easier to keep New Year’s resolutions if I understand my decision making process.
The following Brain Color Clues will help you understand what actions positively or negatively influence your ability to accomplish your resolutions and/or help others fulfill theirs.
Yellow Brainers: Execute a plan in a timely manner, consider their finances
and do not procrastinate.
Blue Brainers: Go with their gut, consider how their ideas affect others, but money is not an issue.
Green Brainers: Research information, calculate risks and outcomes and
evaluate financial ramifications.
Orange Brainers: Improvise solutions, have an “If you’ve got the money,
use it” attitude, and ignore fear.
Each year 40% to 45% of the adults in America make one or more New Year's Resolutions. Most of the resolutions relate to more exercise, handing money better, losing weight, staying on a diet, or ending unhealthy behavior or habits (smoking). If people purposeful commit to theirresolutions they are 10 times more likely to keep their resolutions andreach their goals.
The following demonstrates how well individuls keep their New Year's Resolutions:
75% - after 7 days
71% - after 2 weeks
64% - after 1 month
46% - after 6 months
Serge Prengel of Proactive Change says, "While a lot of people who make new years resolutions do break them, research shows that making resolutions is useful.
Are you keeping your New Year's Resolutions??

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Explaining Death to Children
Today's headlines about the devastating earthquake in Haiti brought to mind the difficult
task of explaining death to children. Having this experience with my own children,
I understand the challenge and the delicacy with which this situation needs to be handled.
The classic book, The Fall of Freddie the Leaf by Dr. Leo Buscaglia illustrates the delicate
balance between life and death. I believe, this beautifully written story is timely and timeless,
and is an essential book for every family's library. It is a simple tale, which gently explains
the often unexplainable process of death that can be appreciated by children and adults.

Is that you?

10% of the royalties from the sale of my book is allocated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Brazilian Brain Book or Livro Brasileiro de Cérebro
On November 17th I wrote a post entitled Book Celebration in Brazil
I was so excited to share my good news that my book,
What Color Is Your Brain?
A Fun and Fascinating Approach to Understanding Yourself and Others
had been published by Novo Conceito in Portuguese and was for sale in Brazil.
Today, I'm thrilled to tell you that two copies of
Que Cor é o Seu Cérebro?
Uma abordagem fascinante para compreender a si mesmo e aos outros
arrived from my publisher.
I am delighted with the cover art!
It resembles some of the art my husband and I purchased in Embu
on several of our trips to visit our son and daughter-in-law in Sao Paulo.
I like the subtle subconscious "Gray Brain Matter" effect on the cover and the
visual of the human brain on the first page of each chapter.
The contrast of the two book covers perfectly represents
the differences of our personalities.
We are going to be seeing our "Brazilians" tonight.
They are very excited to see and read the book.
When I called to tell my daughter-in-law the book arrived,
she said her mother had already seen the book in her local bookstore.
I am eager to see their response and hear their book reviews.
