Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ignore bad behaviors. Tell your child when you’re happy. Use praise only when appropriate. Give them rewards for some behaviors. Don’t bribe! Use physical contact, but not spanking.

Answer: When your child does something bad, don't reward them by giving in or paying a lot of attention to them (even if that attention means yelling at them). They are trying to get your attention, so "reward" their behavior by completely ignoring them. If you can, put them where they can't see you, and at a minimum don't make eye contact with them and avoid touching them. When your child does anything right, tell them how happy you are. Children naturally want to please you, so let it show when they do that so that they are more inclined to do that good behavior in the future. Or at least, be specific about what you’re praising. Telling your child "good job" for everything they do tends to devalue good behavior. Save really serious praise for when they've really earned it. Plus, "good girl" or "good job" mean little to children. Say it specifically, describing exactly what you love about what the child did.  it.  Notice that telling them "Wow, you did a great job!" is very different from saying "Oh, Mommy loves it when you do that. That makes Mommy so happy." It's also a good idea to specify what you are praising. You could say, "You did an excellent job putting your toys away," or "I'm proud of you for staying calm at the doctor's office." Sometimes rewards or other positive reinforcement may be in order. It should be used sparingly, saved mainly for occasions where it is easy or especially warranted. For example, sharing toys is worth a reward, such as a piece of candy (because this is something that is very hard for them). The same can be said of potty training. Toddlers don't need much. An M&M or Smartie should do the trick. Absolutely under no circumstances should you bribe a child into appropriate behavior. Negotiations are frowned upon, as this just teaches your child to ignore you until they get what they want, or that if they hold out long enough they can get their way. Once you let it start, it's a very difficult behavior to stop, for both of you. Stay vigilant! If you're struggling to get your child's attention, don't resort to spanking. This is a very ineffective technique. Instead, firmly grab an arm or take their face in your hands and make them look at you. The second is especially uncomfortable for toddlers and is much more effective than spanking (without teaching them negative lessons, like "solve problems with violence").


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Step forward but not directly at the ball. Rotate your hips as you prepare to make contact. Transfer your weight forward off your back leg. Extend your arms as you make contact. Continue your rotation and extension in your follow-through.

Answer: Aggressive batting means attacking the ball instead of waiting for it to come to you. Step forward as the ball approaches, but also "clear your front leg" by stepping outward from the ball. This will open up your hips so they can rotate through the swing.  You don't want to lunge at the ball, though, or you'll sap much of your power before making contact. Practice your timing and ball-tracking skills so you can drive through the ball as you make contact. The location of the ball will impact whether you can step out with your front leg and open up your body. If the bowler has placed the ball in a position which doesn’t suit an aggressive swing, fall back on your defensive swing principles. By stepping forward but outward with your front leg, you'll naturally begin to rotate your hips outward. This twisting motion, along with the forward drive provided by your back leg and your extended arms, provides the power during an aggressive stroke. As you open up your front leg and your hips begin to rotate, your back knee should move forward toward the ball. Lift your back heel and drive your back knee forward just as you are about to make contact with the ball. Practice making this weight transfer in a controlled manner. You want to be able to keep your eyes focused on the ball the whole time, which you won’t be able to do if your body is flailing away. While your hips rotate and your weight shifts off your back leg, extend both arms fully as you make contact with the ball. During an aggressive stroke, your bottom arm and hand will supply more of the power, and your top arm and hand more of the control. If your timing and alignment are correct, you should be able to extend your arms and make contact on the bat's "sweet spot." Most batters say this spot is about two-thirds of the way down the flat blade of the bat, but you'll also learn to identify it by the solid "feel" of making contact there. Follow-throughs are largely a matter of personal preference, with some batters preferring to sweep the bat over their shoulder, and others twisting the bat to keep it in front of them. The important thing is to drive through the ball instead of stopping your body once you make contact. Cutting your follow-through short will sap you of much of the power in your aggressive stroke.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask someone to test you. Review your notes and flashcards. Review easy facts. Make a list to guide you.

Answer: By reviewing what you have studied with another person, you'll be able to see how much you know. Ask them to jot down or underline the facts that you aren't familiar with. Also, be open to suggestions from them, as they could come up with good ways to help you memorize facts. It might be helpful to do this with someone who isn’t in your class, like a parent. Go over the information that you have studied, highlighting facts that you know as you go. Be sure that you thoroughly understand the notes. Hopefully you will have a good command of the terms on the flashcards by now. If there are any you still can’t remember, put these aside and spend some extra time just on these. Although you might know them well, it may become easy to forget them if you have filled your head with other knowledge. You have most likely concentrated on things you were less certain of, but it’s a good idea to have a look through some of the easier things before the exam. While you should not spend all your time going over information that you know, you should not completely ignore them. You will keep it fresh in your mind this way. Include the facts that you found easy to study, as well as the ones that you had difficulty with. You can use the list as a reference if you decide to ask a teacher for help. After you have done the exam you can see where you lost marks and whether this matches up with areas you struggled with when you were studying. This experience can help you to study for future geography exams too.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add baking soda to a dampened cloth. Scrub down the entire shower curtain. Rinse with warm water. Clean any remaining stains. Rinse the curtain again.

Answer:
Get a clean microfiber cloth slightly damp. Then, sprinkle baking soda over the cloth so the cloth is coated in a light layer of baking soda. Use your cloth to scrub down the curtain. Give the curtain a light scrub at first, leaving set-in stains alone for now. Focus on removing basic grime and dirt only. Take a new cloth and get it damp with warm water. Swipe it over the shower curtain to remove all of the baking soda and water. Make sure to scrub the curtain until all traces of baking soda are gone. Add more water to the cloth as necessary. After giving the shower curtain a general cleaning, get your cloth damp again and sprinkle it with baking soda. Scrub out any set in soap stains or mildew this time around. Focus on areas you glossed over during the first round of cleaning. Get another clean cloth damp with warm, clean water. Rub down the shower curtain again to remove any baking soda residue. Do not leave any lingering baking soda on the shower curtain. Make sure you keep rinsing the shower curtain until your cloth runs clean.
