MLS#202004171 BASIL CHICKEN SANDWICHES MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES By Monica Sinclair Looking for a quick and easy sup- per to prepare tonight? Don't wor- ry, I've got you covered. You will have this meal together in as lit- tle as 20 -30 minutes. And while the recipe calls for the basil to not be cooked, I think I will try cooking it with the chicken, as I love the aro- ma of cooked basil. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1/2 teaspoon pepper • 1/4 teaspoon salt • Dash paprika • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch slices • 6 tablespoons prepared olive oil vinaigrette salad dressing, divided • 6 ciabatta rolls, split • 18 basil leaves • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained • 1/4 cup shredded Romano cheese DIRECTIONS 1. In a bowl, combine the pepper, salt and paprika; sprin- kle over chicken slices. In a nonstick skillet over me- dium-high heat, cook chicken in 2 tablespoons salad dressing for 4-5 minutes on each side or until chick- en is no longer pink. 2. Brush remaining salad dressing on rolls. Place ba- sil leaves on rolls; top with chicken and red peppers. Sprinkle with Romano cheese. Source: tasteof home.com By Ashley Underwood Youth First, Inc. As the mother of a child who will start kindergarten this fall, I can say the ques- tion "Is he ready? " has come to mind of- ten over the past few months. The aca- demic, social, and emotional demands are much more intensive in kindergar- ten than what has likely been previously experienced. Because of this, however, kindergarten is an amazing opportuni- ty for learning and growth for your child. What are some indicators that your child is ready for kindergarten? The Mayo Clinic identifies some common de- velopmental milestones that can be ob- served when a child is ready for this leap: • Demonstrating curiosity in learning new things • Exploring new things through their senses • Taking turns and cooperating with peers • Speaking with and listening to peers and adults • Following instructions • Communicating how they're feeling • Empathizing with other children • Controlling impulses • Paying attention • Limiting disruptive behaviors While many of these skills emerge nat- urally between ages four and five, there is not a set age limit. Some parents even choose to wait until age six to send their child to kindergarten. What you can do to help prepare your child for kindergarten? The National Association for the Edu- cation of Young Children provides these tips: Teach responsibility. Start transfer- ring small responsibilities over to your child, if you haven't already. They can set out silverware at meals, put new liners in trash cans, or fold pillowcases. Any task that is meaningful to the household and achievable for the child will teach respon- sibility. Develop and follow routines. Set up morning routines that will transfer into a school setting. Getting up around the same time every day, getting dressed, and having an early breakfast together is a great way to transition to school. Read aloud to your child. Read a va- riety of books, read the captions under pictures in the newspaper, even share the comics. Just read together! Engage them in meaningful literacy activities. Encourage your child to help you with thank you cards, shopping lists, or notes. At the store, you can point to each item on the list and have your child check it off when it's put in the cart. At home, you can ask your child to sign their name on cards and give them their own special notebook and pen. Help them develop independence at home. Encourage your child to dress themselves, take their coat on and off and hang it up, use the bathroom without as- sistance, wash their hands without con- stant reminders, and put on their own shoes. Acknowledge their feelings. Your child may express being nervous, not wanting to go or, alternately, feel very excited to start school. Take time to ap- preciate these feelings. You can find spe- cific strategies to do this at youthfirstinc. org/selmaterials. Chances are you're already practicing many of these skills your child will need for kindergarten. Remember to keep it fun and don't make it stressful for you or your child! If your child's school will require them to wear a mask, practice this at home and when you go out in public.
