Q: Choose a headband that is either the same color as your hair or would look good next to your hair color. This way, your headband becomes a versatile accessory that you can wear with any outfit.  If you’re a brunette, try wearing a headband made of small tan or brown crystals for a touch of subtle sparkle.  If you aren’t sure what colors will look best, stick with neutrals. Neon green or lavender aren’t as easy to match as black or white. Try out a thin, subtle headband that lies flat against your head if you plan on wearing it to most of the places you go.  Pick a headband that’s made of metal, fabric, plastic, or a combination. Thin headbands are classic, and can be worn to work, out to dinner, or even to the gym. Try to keep embellishments and patterns simple. Go for a thinly braided solid-colored headband or a headband that has a thin stripe of pearls or rhinestones across the top. If you’re looking for an accessory to wear on special occasions, headbands that are made of unique materials or have unique structures look great with short hair.  Try a thinner headband that has a larger embellishment on it, such as a feather or flower. Wear a thicker headband made of leather if you’re going for an edgy look. Both thick and thin headbands can look great with short hair, but try not to go too much wider than 1 inch (2.5 cm). The wider your headband, the more your hair and head will be covered up, which may not be as flattering if your hair is only a few inches long.
A: Go with a headband that matches your hair color for a casual look. Wear a simple, thin headband for everyday versatility. Pick a unique, bold headband to wear on a night out. Wear a headband that’s 1 inch (2.5 cm) or less in width.

Q: Learning a new language can be a stressful experience for many adults, and can make them feel like children struggling to pick up something new.  Build on the positives of this perspective by enabling your students to have some fun with it.  Most adults like to reminisce about their own childhood, or that of their growing / grown children.  Let them pick a favorite kids' book from one of those times that is available in the foreign language, and read it together in class.  It will seem familiar but new, and fun but challenging.  Listen to songs, even sing songs together in class.  Use familiar nursery rhymes and lullabyes in the foreign language, along with songs distinct to that language / culture. Most adults will be sympathetic to the experiences of the other students in the class, and want to help each other succeed.  And, according to the notions of task-based learning discussed in this article, having students learn from each other's successes and mistakes is vital to adult language development.  One good paired activity is the aforementioned "information gap" game of having one student describe a picture in the foreign language to another, who must draw it.  A similar option is having students do a variation of the old "pass a secret down the line" game, except having them alternate the language in which the sentence is whispered -- (essentially translating back and forth down the line). Even simply encouraging your students to listen to each other carefully as they attempt to solve problems and answer questions can be quite useful.  Hearing others struggle and succeed provides both consolation and challenge.  Each student will also naturally "notice the gap" between the response given, how they would have responded, and/or the correct response, thereby helping to build confidence and competence. Unlike many child students, adult learners usually have a specific goal in mind for wanting to learn a foreign language.  Crafting activities that support this goal, and offering related goals and rewards along the way can fuel motivation and a sense of achievement.  If your adult student hopes to land in a foreign country and be able to "jump right in," consider having them watch episodes of a program in that language (without subtitles!), and attempt to summarize what they can from full-speed conversations in the foreign tongue.  Set up a pretend restaurant, for instance, in the classroom.  Offer simple prizes for the student(s) who do best in ordering lunch.  Adults like to be rewarded for small achievements just as much as children. No, the adult classroom, just like the child one, cannot be all fun and games.  Most adults will want it to be a fun experience, but in the end, learning the language is the goal.  Some of the traditional methods that have at least partly fallen out of favor may be of more value to adult learners, especially those who are self-motivated to learn the language.  They will be more willing to copy down verb tables and go through flash-card drills.  Speaking of copying down information, encouraging your students to write down information longhand may be beneficial.  (It will also probably be easier to convince adults to do this than their tech-savvy kids.)  Research indicates that handwriting information aids memorization more than typing, as it requires more active participation in the process.
A: Let the adults be kids. Help students help one another. Offer goals and rewards. Don't skip the work.

Q: He may suffer from shame and embarrassment. Remind him that it is not his fault, and maintain a low-key attitude after accidents. Parental punishment for bedwetting at any age is inappropriate. It is strongly associated with childhood depression and reduced quality of life. There are a number of online resources to help manage bedwetting. These can be an important component of dealing with the psychological effects of bedwetting and can complement more formal care. Some sites include message boards, which may be especially helpful for teenagers seeking reassurance. Bedwetting can be a source of major anxiety and distress and the incidence of depression, sadness, and social fear is higher in children who regularly wet the bed. Regular therapy can help your child and your family manage these symptoms. The therapist may help your child with behavioral modifications including positive reinforcement systems, awakening programs, or other methods. There’s no need for your friends or workmates or even the child's grandparents to know there’s a bedwetting problem in your family. By providing your child or teen with incontinence supplies, a safe space to discuss her feelings, and other behavioral or medical treatment, you can help her overcome the feelings of shame and guilt associated with bedwetting. Most children and teenagers “grow out of” bedwetting, sometimes even without treatment. Without treatment, 15% of children who wet the bed outgrow it with each passing year.
A: Provide your child with support and reassurance. Find online community support. Seek professional psychological counseling. Respect your child’s privacy and dignity. Be patient.

Q: Especially when dining with traditional Vietnamese friends or family, you should wait for either the head of the household or the eldest member to eat first. When in doubt, wait to eat until you see one of your adult Vietnamese dining companions also doing so. Depending on your situation, your Vietnamese dinner may or may not begin with a small offering on a family Buddhist altar. Unlike some other kinds of cuisine, Vietnamese food, including pho, is expected to be personalized to your tastes. Even special sauces that have been prepared beforehand can be poured into small sauce dishes and altered with seasonings until it suits your preferences. While eating your pho, you'll naturally gesture as you dine and converse with dinner companions. Avoid pointing at anyone with your index or middle finger, touching someone on the shoulder, or patting others on the back, as all of these are considered rude.  The placement and usage of your feet is also important in Vietnamese culture. Refrain from pointing with your feet or putting your feet on tables. Excessive use of gestures may come across to traditional Vietnamese as rude, especially for women. In Vietnamese culture, when someone feels socially unsure or like they are of lower status, it's common for them to bow frequently and avoid eye contact. This might seem disrespectful to you, but it is actually a sign of respect. Vocalizing disagreement or criticism, especially loudly or publicly, can be viewed as disrespectful. Your comments or suggestions might go over best if saved for a more private time. Though this might be different from you home culture, Vietnamese tend to show deference by seating and serving elders most prominently, then male adults, then other members of the family, like young men, women, and children.
A:
Wait for the host to eat before partaking. Personalize your food without hesitation. Avoid rude gestures. Acclimate to less eye contact. Honor Vietnamese age and gender customs.
