PlumSmart is safe for kids, and it's great for kids! While some children tend to refuse fruit, it's easy to make sure they are getting the necessary fiber, vitamins and nutrients with the delicious taste of plum juice. PlumSmart is 100% juice, which means that it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and naturally occurring phyto-nutrients that contribute to good health. Fiber as a general term refers to non-digestible plant material.

It depends on the person drinking it and their overall dietary intake, but typically, one to two eight-ounce servings will relieve constipation within 24 hours. Making it a part of your daily routine is a great preventive approach to healthy digestion.

We organize the practice schedule so kids work with other kids their same age, size, talent, and ability.

Develop a safety plan with them. For example, “Always ask Mom before going anywhere past the sidewalk with anyone.”

The Kids Safe Chemicals Act is a Senate bill, introduced by Senators Lautenberg and Jeffords, that would require chemical manufacturers to provide health and safety information on chemicals used in consumer products instead of presuming a substance is safe until proven dangerous (see We’re Loaded with Toxins: Analyzing the Toxic Body Burden of Americans by Judy Chinitz Gorman).

If you have no shoulder belts in the back seat, use the lap belt for now. A lap belt at least keeps a passenger from being thrown out of the car in a crash, which increases the risk of death four times compared to staying in the car. If shoulder belts are available but the child is sitting in a center lap belt, move the child to the side. Use the lap AND shoulder belt with a belt-positioning booster until the child is big enough to fit well without a booster.

We recommend one eight-ounce serving each day to maintain regularity. That one, eight-ounce glass of PlumSmart every morning provides a full serving of fruit along with the essential nutrients that keep the digestive tract moving. Eating foods rich in fiber and essential minerals should be a daily, healthy habit for good digestive health.

Generally, Boys & Girls Clubs serve young people between the ages of 6-18.

Yes, but as with all medications, please consult with your doctor before using on children under age two.

There may be some reduction in the volume of your stools. That's normal after a decrease in food intake, because you eat less fiber. This should not cause severe problems. If difficulties do arise, check with your doctor. He or she may suggest you take a mild laxative and drink plenty of water for a while. Drinking plenty of water is a good idea, anyway. Your needs will vary, but you should drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day.

Pendulum Foundation is seeking funds to take restorative justice and life skills programs into juvenile detention centers, as well as adult prisons.

If you do not have shoulder belts in the back seat, use the lap belt since it at least keeps the passenger from being thrown from the car in a crash. Being thrown from the car increases the risk of death by four times compared to staying in the car. However, a lap belt alone should be your very last option. If shoulder belts are available, place the child in one of the side seats instead of in the center, so that your child has upper body protection.

No, PlumSmart is not prune juice. Prune juice is made by soaking dried plums (prunes) in hot water and then extracting the juice and solids. PlumSmart is made from fresh plums. The juice is extracted almost immediately after the fresh fruit is harvested. However, the plums are of the same variety as those which are dried to make prunes. PlumSmart delivers all the digestive benefits of prune juice, but is clear, tart-crisp, and refreshing.

My recommendation is to tell them it's a party for the new baby. I don't think very young children need to have the surgical aspects of a bris explained. In general, I also recommend that children under the age of twelve not be permitted to watch the bris. I try to include the older siblings in the ceremony (before the actual bris takes place); you can tell them that part of the celebration is a big brother/big sister party.
