Breathe for Weight Loss
Ever tried to shed a few pounds? It’s not easy. According to the
National Institutes of Health, 97% of dieters who lose weight
gain it back within five years. This statistic illustrates what
most dieters already know. Permanent weight loss is frustrating
and often seems unobtainable.
 What most dieters don’t know, however, is that they carry a
powerful weight loss tool with them at all times: Breathing.
Proper breathing is the one exercise that helps your body do
what is necessary to lose weight. In fact, some weight loss
programs maintain that proper breathing is more important than
exercise or diet when it comes to burning calories.

Helping your child with homework
Homework is an opportunity
for children to learn and
for families to be involved
in their children’s
education. However, helping
children with homework isn’t
always easy. At
parent-teacher meetings and
in conferences with parents,
teachers often hear
questions such as:
ß How can I get Michael to
do his homework? Every night
it’s a struggle to get him
to turn off the TV and do
his homework.
ß Why isn’t Maria getting
more homework?
ß Why is Jonathan getting so
much homework?
ß When is Suki supposed to
do homework? She takes piano
lessons, sings in her church
choir, plays basketball and
helps with family chores.
There’s hardly any time left
to study.
ß How can I help Robert with
his math homework when I
don’t understand it?
ß Do homework assignments
really help my child learn?
This booklet helps answer
these and other questions
that parents, family members
and others who care for
children in elementary and
middle school often ask
about homework.
The booklet also includes
practical ideas for helping
children to complete
homework assignments
successfully. |
