Find a Cure To Muscular Dystrophy By Playing Laser Tag

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Are you familiar with the disease muscular dystrophy? A quarter of a million kids and adults live with muscular dystrophy making it likely you know someone who has it. If you are a corporation or individual who wants to help those suffering from life challenging diseases, we are here to help you do so and get familiar with Muscular Dystrophy. Read below to learn about Muscular Dystrophy and how you can help those in need overcome this disease.

What is Muscular Dystrophy?

Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder. The Disorder weakens muscles, making it challenging to move the body because the genetic disorder prevents the creation of proteins for healthy muscles to develop in the body. MD is not contagious and those with the disease are born with it.

Life expectancy for those affected by MD varies on how much muscles are weakened, especially when it comes to heart and lung functions.

How Do Doctors Diagnose MD?

Doctors diagnose MD through a physical examination and reviewing the medical history of an individual (a background check of a person’s family health and personal health). These tasks will help doctors discover the type of MD a person has and rule out other diseases that could affect muscles and nerves. Occasionally a muscle biopsy, where the doctor removes some muscle tissue to examine, is necessary.

How Is MD Treated?

MD has no cure but doctors and scientists are doing their best to find a cure by fixing defective genes so that the genes will make the correct proteins for the healthy development of muscles. The other potential cure is to make chemicals that could act like proteins in the body.

Teens with MD can do exercises and physical therapy to avoid stiffening of muscles surrounding joints. This will make moving less challenging and reduce painful positions.

How Can I get involved?

You can help find a cure for MD by playing some laser tag games at ShadowLand Laser Adventures! In celebration of Muscular Dystrophy Awareness week, on Tuesday February 7th , ShadowLand Laser Adventures in all five  of ShadowLand  locations( Centers are located in Columbia(MD),Frederick(MD), Gaithersburg(MD), Chantilly(VA) and Springfield(VA)) is donating $2 for each $7.75 game to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  Have fun and help find a cure to Muscular Dystrophy.

5 Tips on Teaching Your Child Respect

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Are you looking for ways to teach your child how to be respectful? If yes, we are here to help by providing you five great tips on teaching respect to your child. Read below to get started.

 

Teaching your child respect should be a necessary task of parenting. Your child will not learn to respect others unless you teach it, expect it and model it in your own behaviors.

 

As a parent, expect your child to take cues from you on how to socially interact with others. When children are around respectful people, they are more inclined to show respect. If they are around disrespectful people, they will learn disrespectful behaviors.

 

 

It takes years for a child to effectively learn respect. Be sure you set out time to teach your child this crucial life skill. Speak with respect to your child. Do not yell at him or her when you do not get your way.

 

Model Respect

When you show you respect other people, your child will want to respect other people. This is especially important with a romantic relationship with a partner. If you cannot have healthy relationships with your significant other, your child will catch on to it and start a cycle of lifetime unhealthy relationships.

Expect Respect

If you set standards high that respect is mandatory in your home and outside of your home, your child will do his or her best to live up to your expectations. You are one of his or her most important people in the world. Of course he or she wants to make you proud.

 

Teach Respect

State and visually show when you are respecting someone, including respecting yourself. You child will slowly but surely connect statements with actions. An example would be saying “ I am respectfully holding the door for you. Will you respectfully hold the door for me next time?”

 

Discuss Respect

When you see other children being respectful or disrespectful verbally or by behavior, make it obvious to your child. Say, “See that child is being respectful” or say, “ See that child is being disrespectful…do not do or say that.”

 

Praise Your Child for being Respectful

Positive reinforcements work very well in teaching your child respect. Thank your child and reward him or her with a treat or a fun activity, such as a ShadowLand Adventure, when he or she respects people and his or herself.
