Children can often present their adult caretakers with a steady diet of difficult behavior, such as whining, arguing, teasing, fighting, yelling, tantrums and pouting. For this reason, clinical psychologist, Dr. Thomas W. Phelan designed the 1-2-3 Magic program to bring practical, easy-to-use, disciplinary techniques to families and educators. 1-2-3 Magic is a simple, yet powerful approach that will show parents and educators how to:
Control obnoxious behavior
Encourage good behavior
Strengthen relationships
Have more time for fun with children
Teach children to listen better
Teach children about responsibility
Avoid treating children like “little adults”
This program is free due to the generous support of Waverly-Shell Rock Schools and Bremer County Community Partners (BCCP). BCCP is a non-profit, 501(c) 3 organization that strives to increase public awareness of child abuse while promoting area services.
Free child care will be provided. Pizza will be served to parents in group and children in child care.
Registration is required. For more information about this event or to register, please contact Ken Fate, school counselor at Irving and Shell Rock schools. Ken can be reached Monday, Wednesday and Friday at (319) 352-2658 or on Tuesday and Thursday at (319) 885-4311. Registrants should plan to attend all three sessions.

Lipid Profile
, $12, measuring triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL and LDL.
Hemoglobin
, $4, iron level.

, $10, early screening test for prostate cancer.
Body Composition
, $5, measuring percentage of body fat versus muscle mass.
Blood Glucose Testing
, free, can be measured as a fasting or casual glucose level. Screenings conducted by staff from WHC's ADA Recognized Diabetes Education Program.
This service will be available at the June and September screenings.
Blood Pressure Checks
, free, conducted by Home & Community Health staff.
Health Screen or Lipid Profile participants should fast for 12 hours prior to the testing and avoid caffeine products. Individuals who are fasting may have sips of water and take medications on normal schedule.
Prostate cancer can often be found early by testing the amount of Prostate-Specific Antigen in a man’s blood. The PSA is one component in screening for prostate cancer; additional testing should be completed by primary care physicians. The American Cancer Society believes that health care professionals should offer a yearly prostate cancer screening to men, beginning at age 50. Men at high risk, such as African Americans and men who have a first-degree relative diagnosed with prostate cancer at an early age should begin testing at age 45.
The fee structure covers only the costs of the test processing. For more information about the screening, call (319) 483-1360.
Health screenings are scheduled for:
February 26, 2010 from 7 - 9 a.m.
