and don'ts. one of the modn questions coming can be confusing... with so many do's and don'ts. one of the modern questions coming electronics smart phones and computers. recent data suggests letting young kids use one of those devices might actually be a good thing. reporter adam mccoy explains. "for 2 year old bennett lambert, it's not unusual to spend some time on a tablet. and his tablet time started earlier than it did for his sisters - twins who are now six. recently the americanancademy of pediatrics changed their guidelines for screen time for

from no time to well... thirty minutes. and a recent study from the university of london suggests that kids get on tablets as early as possible because of how quickly they learn things by using them. and the key here is the word "educational". ( dr. jacob eichenberger/prof of pediatrics, augusta university) if there are specific things we're learning languages puzzles using a tablet to read a book to a child there is even the simulation of it's your voice great. note it's not just the how it's used. eichenberger/prof of pediatrics, are they learning simply a way of placating a child so you? for health minute, i'm adam mccoy. jessica rae: watch out for when giving electronics to if your child buries their face in the tablet and won't respond to you, or if they throw a temper tantrum when you take it away. jessica rae: after the break... we'll have the perfect christmas

holiday parties this year. jessica rae:

those holiday parties? well you're in luck... howard has a recipe that has a secret ingredient that will bring the house down! "whenever we share a recipe that has a secret ingredient, it's always a hit. so we dug out an old favorite that we came up with almost 30 years ago. and whetetr you serve it for chanukah, christmas or just because, these bite- sized buttery, rich rugelach always disappear fast. to make them, all we do is cut a good amount of butter with some flour. and if you're not familiar with cutting flour and butter together you can do it with a pastry cutter like this, or with a couple of knives. once it's crumbly, we add our secret ingredient.some softened vanillalace cream. that gives the

flavor. once it comes together, we pop it in the fridge to firm up. now after sprinkling the counter with a cinnamon, walnut sugar mixture, we cut the dough into chunks and roll out one piece at a time and top it with some chocolate chips. after cutting it into wedges, we roll them up (starting from the wide end) before baking them off. what we end up with is an old world pastry that looks and tastes bakery y fancnc but was so eaea to make. i do hope you'll go online and get the recipe for our, "chocolate chip rugelach," so you can share these with your family and friends. i'm howard in the mr. food test kitchen, where today we found a "secret shortcut way" that'll have everyone saying . "ooh it's so good!!" jessica rae: if you would like a copy of that recipe you can send us a self addressed stamped envelope here to a-b-c 9 news. our addrdrs is 625 douglas street. the zip...51101. be sure totorite "chocolate chip

slow down i.e. our metabolism slow down then we really something else to calorie expenditure and that's with exercise." rae: because our basal metabolic rate slows as we age, we can longer ingest calories, off the same amount so dr joyce says of exercises, aerobic exercises... although it's good to perform both types of exercise, as we age, it's more important to focus on a specific one. joyce: "but really it is the aerobic capicity that we should be working on so that is again, the walking, jogging, biking, swimming, and that sorts of things and those can all be done middle age or older age, we just have to realize our bodies limits. rae: dr joyce also says preparing our bodies for a slower basal metabolic rate, starts early on... joyce: "we should start improving our life style changes probably in our 20s, even teens, and we know that kids arar't as active as they should be, so we should start preaching it then. but as far as being aware of our basal metabolic rate and our slowing

in your 40s is when you're going to start really noticing that and that's when we should be aware of it and really concerned on making lifestyle changes before that so they're already engraved." and next week on get going... if you plan on traveling for the holiday... yoyomay be stuck in a car or on a plane for hours... i'll explain the dangers of blood clots, and how you can prevent them... you can catch the fulltory next monday at 5 and 6 a-m. jessica rae: scott's up next with a final check of our forecast. stay with us.
