"In My Quest For Personal Growth The Rest of Me Grew Too!" is an empowering, inspirational, inspira-tional, entertaining and hilarious look at one woman's take on Mother's Day. Shiriey is dreading Mother's Day almost as much as she loathes hauling her very pregnant body to her son's school to be his show-and-tell exhibit. But when she makes a new friend, who gives her a crash course in Life 101, Shirley views Mother's Day in a whole new light, and--even if her husband forgets to send flowers and her mother-in-law "Man of LaMancha" With challenging staging and exceptional vocal requirements, "Man of La Mancha" is not the easiest musical production to stage.

Ask a Specialist How Can I Help My Child Get The Most Out of Organized Sports? Answered by: Tom Lee, Utah State University Extension Family Fami-ly and Human Development Specialist. Most children are not going to pursue athletics as a career. However, their participation in organized sports can bring them enjoyment and help them grow up to be contributing, positive adults. As a parent, support the philosophy phi-losophy of having fun and trying hard as the basis for success. Help your children be properly equipped, and get them to practices prac-tices and games on time. Practice with them to help work on their skills. Give lots of praise and encouragement for effort and improvementnot just for being the best, the first or the fastest. Consider emphasizing these points to help them get the most out of sports. Having fun. The first goal of youth sports should be to have ' fun. If children have fun they will be motivated to continue participating, and improvement will come. The fun comes just by kicking, throwing, running if adults don't add undue pressure to win. Parents' attitudes toward the coach, officials and other players will ultimately communicate communi-cate how important they think winning is, versus participating, having fun and personal improvement. improve-ment. Making friends. Feelings of belonging and being part of a group are basic human needs. Friends are critical to healthy emotional development for children chil-dren and teens. Emphasizing team spirit and unity also teaches important traits of loyalty and cooperation for the good of the whole that can carry over into other areas of life.
