O2 Media’s Hit Morning TV Show ‘The Balancing Act’ Welcomes Tenmarks Education, Oxbow Animal Health, and COTA to the Program!
(Pompano Beach, FL— June 2010) On this episode of The Balancing Act, we cover topics from education and pets to an organization that helps children in need. Make sure you tune in Tuesday, June 8th we air at 7:00am (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television.
Many parents and teachers are concerned with how much math learning and understanding students lose over the summer months. At the beginning of every school year, math skills and concepts -- once mastered -- need to be re-taught. Andrew Joseph, creator of the TenMarks Education program and Educational Consultant Dr. Chris Moynihan join the show to help teach our viewers a lesson or two. Joseph says, “Being able to share our summer math program on ‘The Balancing Act’ will help educate parents in knowing that there are affordable alternative learning programs available.”
With school systems across America suffering from lack of funding, many after-school programs are cut. TenMarks offers a creative online solution for students where they can work at their own pace reviewing last year’s math concepts, and previewing the year ahead. It’s totally interactive, and kids really enjoy it. For more information check out http://www.tenmarks.com/.
Now, from summer education programs to pets! Veterinarian Dr. Micah Kohles from Oxbow Animal Health joins the show to talk about having and caring for small pets. Dr. Kohles says, “’The Balancing Act’ is a great platform to discuss alternative options in owning a small pet.” Sometimes circumstances don’t allow us to have a cat or dog, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a pet. Small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even rats make great pets, too. Dr. Kohles gives great advice from choosing the right pet and prepping your family for your new pet’s arrival, to your small pet’s nutritional and care needs. Visit http://www.oxbowanimalhealth.com/.
Next, Rick Lofgren, President and CEO of The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) stops by The Balancing Act to talk about the importance of organ donations and the thousands of children in the United States alone who are waiting for a miracle. Lofgren says, “Being able to talk about our organization on ‘The Balancing Act’ will help families gain more knowledge about who we are, and what we do -- which is helping families and communities in raising funds for transplant-needy patients, focusing most of our efforts on children.” The process starts by giving 100 % of everything COTA raises to the patients. Then they help the patient through the entire process from beginning to end, from getting on a transplant list to the actual surgery, and then after.

Doug Campbell, Founder and Executive VP of Programming for The Balancing Act says, “Having Tenmarks Education, Oxbow Animal Health, and COTA on ‘The Balancing Act’ has brought many great solutions to women that will have real impact, and help them balance their lives.
