Announcing Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta, Inc., A New Georgia Nonprofit that Supports Families, Educates Community about Food Allergies.

Cumming, GA (PRWEB) September 24, 2010

Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta, Inc. strives to build a community of families afflicted with food allergies while educating the public about food allergy prevention and the risks involved. Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta is Georgia’s first formal food allergy support group. About 12 million Americans (1 in 25) have a food allergy and children are the largest group affected. There is currently no cure for food allergies.

Although Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta is relatively new, the non-profit has been a labor of love for one of its creators, Karen Harris. Mother to a young daughter with multiple severe food allergies, Harris learned quickly after diagnosis that their lives would be changed forever. In her efforts to reach out and find other food allergy afflicted families, she discovered that there was no formal support group in Atlanta.

“One of the toughest moments as a parent with a newly-diagnosed food allergic child is when you leave the doctor’s office, wondering how you will protect your child while dealing with the emotional implications of food allergies,” Harris states. “Suddenly grocery stores, restaurants, schools and churches are danger zones in which your child will be exposed to danger in the form of snacks, meals and desserts.”

Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta supports families who manage food allergies, educates those who care for children, and creates a safer environment in the local area for food allergic individuals.

The nonprofit has also created a medical advisory board, a panel of specialists within the local community. In just a short time, Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta is making an impact in the community and local schools, and has been featured on the radio and in local news stories. Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta offers local support meetings and safe events for food allergic children in the Atlanta community. Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta also supports the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) and will be a participant in this year’s 2010 Atlanta FAAN Walk. For more information, visit the Food Allergy Kids of Atlanta web site or call 404-512-7983.

Tips for parents of children with newly diagnosed food allergies:

Seek medical advice immediately should you suspect a food allergy
Find local and national support groups (online, offline) (Kids with Food Allergies, FAAN)
Educate yourself and others
Pack safe snacks when outside the home

Food Allergy is an immune system response.

It occurs when the body mistakes an ingredient in food — usually a protein — as harmful and creates a defense system (antibodies) to fight it. Food allergy symptoms develop when the antibodies are battling the “invading” food.

Symptoms of a food allergy can range from mild to severe, and the amount of food necessary to trigger a reaction varies from person to person and can even be triggered by just a trace amount of an allergy-causing food.

Symptoms of a food allergy may include:

Rash or hives
Nausea
Stomach pain
Diarrhea
Itchy skin
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Swelling of the airways to the lungs
Anaphylaxis (a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction)

Give Children a Financial Education for Christmas

Agoura Hills, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2005

Money Mama the Smarter Piggy Bank shows children the road to financial freedom. Children get excited about money and love what money provides, but learning only how to spend will set children on a path to financial failure. When children spend as much as they receive, they are learning the habits of living paycheck to paycheck.

Old piggy banks teach children how to save and spend; the new Money Mama the Smarter Piggy Bank teaches children how to set aside a portion of their income for charity, investments and savings and to spend the balance wisely. If children practice the habits of dividing money before they spend, they are learning a secure financial lesson that will help immensely through out their lives.

The priceless gift of an early financial education has many rewards. Not only will children start to learn the importance of funding their retirement, with the award-winning children’s book Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs, they will understand why. Children will hear and see the benefits of saving money, how money grows through investing and helping others. They will understand the benefits of becoming a wise consumer and respect the items they own.

Money Mama the Smarter Piggy Bank is the first award-winning system designed just for children, which teaches them the habits necessary for a secure financial future. Knowing that parents are children’s #1 teacher, http://www.prosperity4kids.com, where Money Mama and the Smarter Piggy Bank can be purchased, also has plenty of resources for parents for teaching their children all they need to know about the fundamentals of money management.

Need an Idea for Teach Your Child to Save Day? Teach Children to Get and Stay Smart About Money

Lake Bluff, IL (PRWEB) March 27, 2007

April 24, 2007, Teach Your Child to Save Day, is just around the corner and it is the perfect opportunity to not only teach kids in elementary school the important behavior of saving, but where saving fits into the larger money management picture. “As a former financial services professional and now as an educator, I’ve learned that you cannot begin too young to develop in kids a sense of delayed gratification and to teach them the crucial life skills associated with responsible money management,” explains Susan Beacham, founder and CEO of Money Savvy Generation.

Almost three quarters of parents feel unprepared to teach the basics of personal finance skills to their children, yet they really want this message taught. Teach Your Child to Save Day presents a unique opportunity for banks, credit unions, and other financial service organizations across America to help parents teach their children how to get and stay smart about money. This Teach Your Child to Save Day, share with parents 5 quick money savvy tips:

1) They have choices. There are four choices for money: Save, Spend, Donate, and Invest. Children should be taught that they don’t have to spend every dollar they get.

2) They need goals. Saving without a goal is like playing football without touchdowns. No fun!

3) They should pay themselves first. A child should be taught to save a portion of every dollar.

4) They need an allowance. Pay children in cash and let them manage that money. That way they will learn that when money is gone, it’s gone.

5) They need good role models. Children are keen observers of parental behavior. So pay bills on time, use cash rather than credit where possible, and take them to the bank when you make a savings deposit.

Money Savvy Generation has worked with all types of financial institutions who want to teach the basics of money management to children. One approach is to introduce a classroom to the company’s Money Savvy KidsPersonal Finance Fundamentals featuring the four chambered, award-winning Money Savvy Pigpiggy bank.

For even younger children (kindergarten through grade1), another approach introduces them to the Money Savvy Pig hand puppet who tells personal stories from his own life to convey the importance of saving, spending, donating and investing. Each story takes about 10 to 12 minutes and is accompanied by color images, songs, workbook activities and the “When You’re Smart with Money” poem poster.

To learn more about these programs, visit the company’s website http://www.msgen.com or call 1.866.390.5959.

About Money Savvy Generation

Money Savvy Generation, http://www.msgen.com, develops innovative products and services to help parents and educators teach kids the skills of basic personal finance. Money Savvy Generation developed the award-winning Money Savvy Pig piggy bank, supporting curriculum – the Money Savvy Kids Basic Personal Finance – for elementary school age children, and the Cash Cache Beginning Personal Finance Organizer for pre-teens and teenagers. Money Savvy Generation also offers a podcast series and a website discussion forum allowing parents and teachers to communicate one-on-one about the topic of financial literacy education for children.

Creating Realistic Wealth at Any Age: Wealth Virtues Author, James Ward, Featured on The Balancing Act

Port Republic, MD (PRWEB) March 2, 2011

Wealth Virtues author, James Ward, was featured on The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television with host Danielle Knox to discuss how the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin can help us in these modern times to eliminate debt and create wealth.

In discussing the rationale behind the book, James Ward commented, “With my three girls, I want them to succeed like I feel we have with our financial future. We want to make sure that we are not a burden on them, and use the wisdom from Franklin’s virtues to help empower them to be debt-free, and to be successful in whatever they want to pursue.” It is a goal that Ward wanted readers of Wealth Virtues to consider for themselves. James also discusses with Danielle how the creation of wealth is simplistic, and therefore, he wrote Wealth Virtues with simplicity in mind.

James Ward describes how many people mistakenly perceive ‘wealth’ as the amount of money required for one to live like a king. This perception may inhibit many from even perusing a realistic and easily attainable measure of wealth. In his book, Wealth Virtues, Ward redefines wealth as simply the goal of ‘acquiring more money than you spend, and to save more money than you owe.’ To help readers understand why these virtues matter, James Ward provides knowledge and insight on the impact of health, creativity, non-linear thinking, and investing to allow anyone to achieve his or her goals, as well as to become wealthy as defined within Wealth Virtues.

Wealth Virtues is a book that will allow readers to define and achieve their own wealth regardless of their current age or income level. Whether a person measures wealth in monetary terms or as a measure of the quality and meaning of their life, Wealth Virtues will change the way people live if they are willing to follow the easy path set forth by James Ward, with help from one of America’s preeminent Founding Fathers.

About The Balancing Act:

The Balancing Act show airs on Lifetime Television at 7:00am (ET/PT) – and is America’s premier morning show that is about women, for women, and trusted by women. Celebrating life and all there is to accomplish, The Balancing Act inspires and empowers with entertaining and educational segments, placing women in the best position to achieve success in every area of their lives. For information or to view a show, visit http://www.TheBalancingAct.com. For more details about The Balancing Act, LLC please visit parent company O2 Media Inc. at http://www.o2mediainc.com.

Wealth Virtues by James Ward is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online outlets including the Resource Store at WealthVirtues.com.

Embracing Benjamin Franklin’s virtue of Humility, James Ward will donate ten percent of his earnings from Wealth Virtues to First Book, an organization that provides new books to children in need.

About the Author:

James Ward is wealthy. Not “John D. Rockefeller wealthy,” but rather, has more money flowing in than flowing out. He is or has been a successful computer scientist, Coast Guardsman, Army officer, analyst, musician, graphic designer, skier, manager for a defense contractor, business owner, and a writer. He is also a successful investor, but lives well within his means. As the owner of Poor Richard Web Press, he helps businesses, non-profits, and individuals succeed with their Internet marketing goals. He also helps other writers and authors with free online marketing tools at BiblioScribe.com, and is a contributor to First Book, an organization that provides new books to children in need. Although his savings and investments continue to grow from the continual practice of Dr. Benjamin Franklin’s Thirteen Virtues while following the Cycle of Positive Wealth©, he realizes that his only true and most valuable treasure is his family and friends.

MoneyNing.com Offers Insight on Saving Money with Cost of Living at its Highest Since 2009

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) March 27, 2011 –

Personal finance blog MoneyNing.com offers strategies for saving money in its recent post entitled Five of the Worst Ways to Save Money. The post discusses common costly mistakes consumers make in trying to shore up their finances http://moneyning.com/.

Bloomberg.com recently featured an article detailing the specifics of a 0.5% rise in February on the cost of living. It went on to explain that over the past twelve months, consumer prices have risen 2.1%, putting the increase at its highest since June of 2009. The article went on to explain that the cost of energy has risen 3.4%, food prices have increased 0.6% and many healthcare-related expenses rose 0.4%.

Although consumers may be tempted to consider saving money by cutting back on their healthcare costs, this is a money-savings no-no according to personal-finance site MoneyNing.com.

To read the post in its entirety go to: http://moneyning.com/money-beliefs/five-of-the-worst-ways-to-save-money/.
