Fluoride can help your baby’s teeth before they grow in.  In general, fluoride helps make your baby’s enamel strong.  Most cities and municipalities put fluoride into the drinking water.  If the water you drink contains fluoride, you’re in luck and do not have to do anything extra.  If the drinking water where you live doesn’t contain fluoride, talk to your doctor or dentist about adding fluoride to your baby’s diet.  To check if fluoride is included in your drinking water, you can check your city or municipality website, or call directly and ask. If you live in a remote area where your water comes from a well, it will not be treated with fluoride unless you have installed a system which does that for you. However, fluoride is present in most water naturally to some degree, so you should have your well water tested to determine the amount present. Before your baby’s first teeth come in, and while your baby is teething, you should wipe your baby’s gums with a clean, damp cloth every day.  Wrap the cloth around your index finger, and use your finger to carefully wipe all your baby’s gums. You can also choose to use a small and gentle infant toothbrush directly on the gums if you prefer.  Do not use toothpaste.  Use only water. Once your baby’s first tooth appears, start brushing your baby's teeth once a day.  At this stage you’ll only need to use a tiny amount of toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice) and water.  Use fluoride toothpaste made specifically for infants or children when brushing your baby’s teeth.  Look for fluoride toothpaste that has the American Dental Association’s (ADA) or Canadian Dental Association’s (CDA) seal of acceptance somewhere on the package. Continue to wipe your baby’s gums in-between where teeth are growing. Once your baby has teeth that are located side-by-side and are touching, you can start to floss your baby's teeth regularly. One of the easiest ways to brush your baby’s teeth is to have your baby sit on your lap facing forward.  Your baby’s head can then rest back against your chest.  This puts you in the same position as if you were brushing your own teeth, which will make the process a lot easier.  Brush your baby’s teeth using small circles. Once your baby gets too big to sit on your lap, have your child stand in front of you (on a stool if required).  Your child’s head should be tilted up slightly so you can easily see all her teeth. While it may be convenient, you should not put your baby to bed with a bottle and allow him to fall asleep with it.  The sugar from the milk or juice in the bottle can harm your baby’s enamel.  This is also referred to as bottle mouth. A sure sign of bottle mouth is when your baby’s front teeth are pocked, pitted, or discoloured. Unfortunately if a severe case of bottle mouth develops, teeth may need to be removed before they fall out naturally. On the whole, it's best not to put juice in a bottle at any time, and to limit juice given to babies. In general, you can wait to take your baby to the dentist either at one year old, or when the first tooth has grown in, whichever happens first.  Your dentist will then be able to show you preventative care tips to ensure your baby’s mouth and teeth stay strong and healthy for life.

summary: Check whether fluoride is in your water supply. Wipe your baby’s gums every day. Brush teeth daily with an infant toothbrush. Floss between your baby’s teeth. Learn the best techniques for brushing your baby’s teeth. Remove bottles from your baby’s mouth when falling asleep. Take your baby to the dentist once the first tooth has grown in.

Consistently do your homework, do all your chores, and take your studies seriously to get the best grades you can. Do anything your parents ask of you without complaining, and have a good attitude. It may sound like a lot of work, but keep in mind what you're trying to get in return. Keep a mental picture of what you want in your head. Don't lose sight of the prize: it's the thing that keeps you going. If you do something impressive, like receive good grades on your report card, then take the opportunity to ask. Don't ask for less important things. If you are set on getting the new Pokémon game, don't ask for other games until you get what you want. For example, if you want a car, draw the car you want on a poster, or find a poster of the car and hang it up on a wall in a commonly visited area. Whenever you pass by it, draw attention to it by commenting on it. If your parents have a sense of humor, this can be very effective. You could even make the effort to put together an entertaining PowerPoint presentation that they might enjoy, or a short comic strip.  Consider if your parents are the creative types that would enjoy this type of pitch. Even if your parents deny your request, you will have set up a lighthearted environment. Never beg for what you want. If you constantly ask, argue, or fight for whatever it is you want, your parents will be less than eager to help you get it. Whenever talking about the item you want, keep an ear open for what your parents have to say. Take their doubts about the item seriously. A good way to appeal to your parents is by using their language. If your dad tends to explain things with his hands, try explaining your reasoning with your hands. Get something for them that they have always wanted. For example, if your mom wants a special perfume, get it for her. Tell them you paid for it all by yourself. Parents love it when kids work hard for something. They will notice that you have your own money and that you can handle responsibility. When they're in a great mood, mention to them what you would like to have.  Don't bring up what you want at the same time that you give them your gift or you could come across as manipulative. You don't have to buy them anything. Do something around the house without them asking you. For example: mow the lawn or do the laundry without anyone asking you.

summary: Be on your best behavior to show you deserve it. Stay focused on your goal. Be creative with your request. Act mature throughout the process. Do something nice for your parents.

Choose the important issues to argue.  Don’t try to prove what he says isn’t true, because it is nearly impossible unless he makes specific accusations.  Just say it isn’t true and let it go.  If your history is full of trustworthy examples and integrity, people will believe you. If someone in your mutual circle is helping spread lies, confront them directly, but without emotion, and ask them to stop gossiping and spreading falsehoods. This will only make you look the same in the long run.  Is better to stand up for yourself with integrity and resist gossiping about your ex. Make amends if possible.  Doing so gives you more credibility when refuting untruths and reminds others that everyone is human and makes mistakes. Do not act in order to reach a specific outcome—whether to hurt him back or to get others on ‘your’ side. Your first priority should always be what is best for you.  In each instance, explore the consequences of every option and choose either the one that has the fewest negative ones or the most positive ones for you. For example, if he is trashing you to mutual friends, think over your possible reactions and your friends might take them before blurting something out loud.
summary: Don’t try to refute or counter every untruth. Don’t trash talk your ex. Own your mistakes. Make sure your actions are not just reactions.
