In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Considered to be a safe and highly effective form of behavioral conditioning, a bedwetting alarm consists of a special sensor for wetness placed in the child’s pajamas or on the mattress of the bed that triggers a vibration or sound, waking the child.  Bedwetting alarms can range in cost from $50 to $150. While insurance usually does not cover the cost, flexible spending account funds can be used to purchase the alarm.  Consider cost, durability, reliability and ease of set-up when purchasing an alarm.  Most physicians recommend a vibratory alarm over a sound device since it is more effective at waking up children who are sound sleepers. This can help reduce mattress damage and reduce the amount of laundry after a bedwetting incident.  Place towels or other absorbent material between the waterproof cover and the bottom sheet Use a blanket that can go straight into the washing machine and dries quickly. If necessary, make up a spare bed or couch ahead of time to encourage your child to go back to sleep quickly after a bedwetting event. Having clean pajamas, and bedding in your child’s room can help with quick and easy changes during the night. Some children may benefit from feeling like they can take charge of the situation. This includes stripping and remaking the bed, and operating the washing machine. Make sure your child drinks enough liquids during the day, so he does not feel dehydrated before bedtime. Your child or teen should avoid tea, soda, coffee, or energy drinks that contain caffeine, which acts as a diuretic. Limit liquids before bedtime.  There is some evidence that food allergies may increase bedwetting, so be sure to discuss your child’s reactions to food with your doctor.   Have your child eat less salt. Salt can cause the body to retain more fluids, so steer him clear of salty snacks like chips. Sleeping away from home can be a source of anxiety for children and teens suffering from nocturnal enuresis.  Make sure your child knows to go to the bathroom before bedtime. Emptying the bladder completely may help reduce the risk of wetting the bed during sleep. Provide your child with absorbent, disposable underwear. There are discreet and effective products on the market for helping older children and teenagers manage bedwettings.  Send your child with an extra set of clothes, as well as a waterproof storage bag for wet clothes. Discuss the issue with the other adults involved. Making them aware can make a bedwetting incident less traumatic for the child. Talk to your child's doctor about medication. Having a child take antidiuretics for the short time she is away from home may help.
Summary: Try a bedwetting alarm. Use a waterproof mattress cover. Keep extra clothes and sheets nearby. Have your child manage the clean-up. Help your child manage his diet and fluid intake. Prepare for sleepovers or nights away from home.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The Transtheoretical Model of change  says that we go through stages leading up to our awareness of a situation. The individual goes through a process that finally ends by accepting the new behavior. These stages include:   Pre-contemplation: During this stage, the individual is not ready to change. Often, this is due to being uninformed or under-informed on the issue at hand.  Contemplation: This stage involves considering making a change. The individual begins to weigh the positive angles of change, although he is aware of the negative sides of changing.  Preparation: During this stage, the individual has made a decision to change, and has started making plans to institute the change.  Action: During this stage, the person is making efforts to change the behavior. This may involve a reduction in certain activities, or an increase in other activities, for example.  Maintenance: This stage involves maintaining a level of activity to ensure that the behavior has changed and remains changed.  Termination: During this stage, the behavior has changed so that the individual does not experience relapse, even under stress, depression, anxiety or other emotional states. We only focus on certain aspects of the person we idealize, and they become a grandiose fantasy that we create.  We choose only to look at those features we idealize while we reject other characteristics that were not appealing to us. When you compare yourself with others, you may view yourself negatively. If you have negative thoughts about yourself, tell yourself to change those thoughts into something about yourself that you are proud of. For example, if you know someone else who can write well, instead of envying her talents, think about your talents. Tell yourself, “I may not be the best writer, but I can draw very well. Besides, if I want to improve in writing, I can work towards this goal for myself instead of envying others for their talent."
Summary: Understand the process of changing your behaviors and thoughts. Realize that idealizing someone is unrealistic. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your mask will have 2 layers to make it more effective. It's best to use different fabric for each layer so it's easy to recognize which side is which. Look for fabrics that have a fun print so your mask looks cheerful. For best results, choose a thicker fabric for your outer layer and a thinner cotton fabric for the liner.  Based on recent research, the best material for homemade masks is the sterile wrap used to protect surgical instruments. It may block up to 99% of germs and particulates.  For the outer side, you might try a non-stretch fabric like denim, twill, canvas, duck-cloth, or quilting fabric. For the liner, you might use cotton or cotton-blend, as long as it's non-stretch. You might not have fabric at home and may not want to rush out to a craft store. Fortunately, you can use an old T-shirt to make your mask. Just boil the shirt in a pot of water for 10 minutes to sterilize and shrink it. Then, let it air-dry. For best results, pick a shirt like Hanes Heavyweight 100% preshrunk cotton T-shirts. However, you can use your old T-shirts if that’s all you have. Why not turn an old pillowcase into a medical mask? While a pillowcase isn’t an ideal option, the fabric provides some protection against germs. Pull out an old pillowcase if it's the only fabric you have. A T-shirt will typically provide more protection than a pillowcase, so make that your first choice. Wearing a face mask when you go out could get annoying, but a fun print might make it more fun. Additionally, accidentally wearing your mask inside out might expose you to germs, so having 2 different fabrics provides added protection. Use a patterned fabric on at least 1 side of your mask.
Summary:
Pick a heavyweight, tight-woven fabric for both layers of the mask. Use a preshrunk 100% cotton T-shirt as an easy option. Cut up a pillowcase if you don’t have a T-shirt. Pair different colors or patterns so it’s easy to identify the front.
