In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Being over-scheduled or overcommitted are major problems for modern teenagers. Oftentimes, a teen will resist beginning or completing a task due to too much stress.  Allow your teenager to decide on his own what commitments are truly important to him. If he's overdone it on after school activities, for example, there's nothing wrong with allowing him to cut back a bit. Loosening up a schedule can allow the flexibility to help your teen stay motivated in regards to what's really important to him. Help your child break down what he needs to do into manageable chunks. This can help combat stress. Say your child has five things to do that day. Break down those five tasks into individual components and help him make a schedule to complete the tasks in order of their importance. Arguing with a teen, or excessive lecturing, often does not pay off. It only increases tension in your household, which can distract your teen and lessen his motivation.  Remember, most people are only willing to listen to advice when they request advice. Your teenager is no different. Rather than repeatedly telling him what he should be doing, wait until he comes to you with a problem. You can also give him the opportunity to ask your for advice. If he seems to be struggling staying on task, say something like, "I see you're having trouble with this subject in school. Is there anything I can do?" Arguments are an inevitable part of any relationship, including your relationship with your teenager. However, you can minimize arguments by taking a break from conversations when things get heated and giving you both a time to cool down. Most people, not just teenagers, find it easier to engage in an activity if it is fun. Finding a way to make work and school enjoyable for your teen can help him stay motivated.  Teenage boys especially respond to competition. Encouraging him to get involved with team sports might help him learn about teamwork, motivation, and self-reliance.  If there's a video game, television show, or movie that can be educational, see if you can get your teen to watch or play it.  Try to get a sense of what your teen enjoys and build fun activities around their personal interests, goals, and ambitions.
Summary: Understand the role of stress. Limit arguing and lecturing. Make things fun.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you go to the doctor’s, call their office and let them know you have a fear of doctors. Explain your phobia as well as what you are afraid of specifically. The doctor should try to accommodate your phobia and provide options to make you feel more comfortable. For example, you may tell the doctor, “I have a fear of needles and enclosed spaces. What can you do to help me feel more comfortable?” They may then outline a few options to help you feel less stressed about coming to your appointment. You may have a fear of enclosed spaces, such as the doctor’s waiting room, and dislike the anxiety of waiting a long time for the doctor. Remedy this by asking for a shorter waiting time at the doctor’s office. Waiting for five minutes rather than 15 minutes can make all the difference, especially if it will help to calm your nerves before your appointment. You may make your appointment time earlier in the morning, such as the first open slot in the day, so you have a very short wait time. For moral support, ask a friend or a loved one to come with you on your doctor’s visit. This can help to quell your nerves and make you less fearful of the doctor. The friend or loved one may sit with you in the waiting room and accompany you into your appointment.  Make sure your doctor is comfortable with you bringing a friend or loved one with you into your appointment. Most doctors will be fine with this, especially if it will help to calm your fears. If you are a parent and your child has a fear of doctors; you may accompany them into the appointment, so they are less afraid. Consistency can be a big part of feeling comfortable and secure. Try to make appointments with the same doctor every time so you can grow more comfortable with them. Going to the same doctor will also ensure they know about your phobia and can take steps to make you feel more at ease during your appointments. You may book several appointments with the same doctor, spread out over the year, to ensure you see them on a regular basis. This can help you to confront your fear in a safe way.
Summary:
Call your doctor and tell them you have a phobia. Request a shorter wait time at the doctor’s office. Ask a friend or loved one to come with you on the visit. Go to the same doctor every visit.
