Apple Cranberry Natural Fruit Leather

This is a great way to use autumn's abundance of apples. Plus, you can control the amount of sugar in the recipe, ensuring a healthy snack for your kids.

Ingredients

* Vegetable-oil cooking spray
* 3 pounds (5 to 6 medium) baking apples, such as Gala or Macoun, peeled, cored, and chopped (8 cups)
* 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
* 1/3 cup pasteurized apple juice or cider
* 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
* 3 tablespoons honey
* 3 tablespoons sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Generously coat two 13-by-9-inch rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray, and line with a Silpat baking mat if desired.
2. Working in batches, puree apples, cranberries, apple juice or cider, lemon juice, honey, and sugar in a blender. Pour into a bowl to combine.
3. Divide puree between prepared pans. Let stand 1 minute, then drain excess liquid. Smooth with an offset spatula. (The puree should be almost 1/4 inch thick.) Bake, with oven door open slightly, until dry to the touch (but not browned), about 6 hours. Close oven door, turn off oven, and let dry overnight in the oven. (Fruit leather should be stiff, but still pliable.)
4. Remove fruit leather from pans. Trim uneven edges, cut into desired size, and roll up if desired. Fruit leather can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Main Story
"Biofeedback Enhances ADHD Treatments"
- By Sid Kirchheimer
Special from WebMD

Read about how biofeedback therapy helps children reduce or eliminate conventional medication while treating ADHD. How amazing it would be to help the numerous amounts of kids to get off the commonly prescribed Ritalin.

Biofeedback, a therapy in which patients are taught to control physiologic functions such as heart rate, muscle tension, and even their brain waves, is emerging as an effective treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). And new research suggests that it may be especially beneficial to patients who can't tolerate or don't benefit from often-used stimulant medications.

Kid's Yoga: Stress Management Sessions for Children
by Paul Jerard, Platinum Quality Author

Let’s think about it: Being a kid these days is not what it used to be. If you grew up watching “Leave it to Beaver,” you cannot really relate to the current peer pressure, multi-tasking, sub-par education programs, and daily distractions that our children and grandchildren accept as part of daily life.

Ten Tips for a Stress-Free School Year

Fall brings with it a return to the work world for adults and to school for children. Whether it's kindergarten, grade school, high school or college, school has its challenges and so does work. The US Government recognized that school was actually children's "work" when it permitted disability allowances for children who couldn't perform adequately at school. How children perform in school isn't only a function of their individual abilities, but it's a part of the equation where parents and community play a major role.

The number of children who will be diagnosed as having anxiety disorders or depression is sufficient for us to recognize that it's a very real problem that has life-long consequences. I've seen estimates of 19 million children diagnosed with anxiety.
