Summarize the following:
Use a coin that’s the size of a quarter or larger for your trick since it will be harder to perform the trick with something small. Hold your left palm face-up and pinch the coin horizontally between your index finger, middle finger, and thumb. Hold the coin up so your audience can see it clearly in your hand.  You can also hold the coin on your right hand if you want. If you want to add more performance to your trick, ask a member of your audience for a coin so they feel more involved. If you don’t have a coin, you can also use a small ball or similarly-sized object instead. Hold your left hand and the coin out in front of you and quickly reach over with your right hand. Make sure your right palm faces you as you reach over or else it will be difficult to conceal your next movement. Slide the thumb of your right hand underneath the coin and place your fingers over it to hide it from the audience. This movement will make it look like you’re about to grab the coin. Don’t linger too long on concealing the coin or else your audience may catch onto the trick and won’t be fooled by it. At the same time you’re concealing the coin, pretend to grab it with your right hand. Instead of taking the coin, let it fall into your left palm. As you drop the coin, make both of your hands into fists to hide the coin from your audience and make it seem like you took the coin. Keep the coin pinched in your palm tightly so it doesn’t fall out of your left hand. Once the coin drops into your left palm, move your right hand toward the right side of your body and hold it up by your head. As you bring your hand up, watch it the entire time so your audience follows your gaze. This will help distract them from your left hand, which is still holding the coin. Lower your left hand toward your side quickly so your audience doesn’t pay attention to it. Don’t pay any attention to your left hand after you “grab” the coin since your audience will look at it if you are. Clench your fist tighter so it appears like you’re crushing the coin in your palm. Slowly raise your fingers one at a time to reveal that the coin has disappeared. Your audience will think that you grabbed the coin and made it disappear as long as you don’t draw any attention to your left hand. Try the trick in front of a mirror or a small audience when you’re first starting so you can build up confidence and make the trick look natural.

summary: Hold the coin between the tips of your fingers and thumb of your left hand. Reach your right hand over the coin to conceal it. Drop the coin into your left palm. Pull your right hand away and follow it with your eyes. Open your right hand slowly to show that it’s empty.

Your guavas should be soft to the touch and have a strong, heady scent before you refrigerate them. If the guavas aren't ripe yet, let them sit on the counter for 2-3 days until the skin yields when you press on the fruit.  Avoid placing guava near a window because the heat and light can make it ripen too quickly. If the guava is taking a long time to ripen, try placing it in a paper bag with the top slightly open. Before you refrigerate the guava, place the entire fruit in a bag to protect it in the refrigerator. Other fruits can give off gasses that encourage ripening, and the bag will ensure that the guava is safe.  Make sure the bag is clean and dry before putting the guava in it. Dirt and water can cause the guava to ripen further in the refrigerator. Remember to label the bag with the date for future reference. Be sure to set the crisper drawer to a medium humidity to ensure that the guava doesn't become too dry or too moist. Leave the bag open slightly at the top to let air circulate through the bag and the drawer. If possible, store the guava in a separate drawer from other fruits such as apples or oranges, which can cause the guava to go bad quickly. Refrigeration will slightly prolong the life of the guava, but be sure to use it in a timely manner. After 4 days in the refrigerator, the guava will be past ripe and should be thrown away. If you can't tell how ripe your guava is, press on the skin to feel if the fruit is very soft. Over-ripe guava will dent when you press on it.

summary: Leave the guava on the counter to ripen if they're still firm. Put the ripe guava in a plastic or paper bag. Place the bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Use or eat the guava within 3-4 days of refrigerating.

If you know what situations cause aggressive behavior in your child, you can be proactive in preventing the behavior. You can try to prepare the child for a new situation or let others around you know not to startle or upset your child until they are used to the situation.  For example, if you are going to take your child to a group gathering, you may want to play pretend to help them get used to the group situation. Place a bunch of dolls or stuffed animals around and lead your toddler around as you introduce them to your child. Have your child pack a bag and pretend to be going away to grandma's for the weekend to get used to the idea of being away from you. You may want to explain to the people at the gathering that they shouldn’t try to hug or touch your child until the child is familiar with them. If your child feels aggressive when their daily situations change, you should let them know the change is coming so it won’t be out of the blue. This helps mentally prepare the child for what is coming and reduce the aggressive behavior. If you know that you are going to have to go to the store soon and your child will have to stop playing, you should let them know. For example, you can say, “You can play for 10 more minutes, then we have to get ready to leave.” You should watch your child as they play for any aggressive behavior. Your child may be playing in an aggressive way, which may eventually become physical aggression. Tell your child not to play that way so that they know aggressive actions are not tolerated.  For example, if your child has their dolls hitting each other, you may say, “Your dolls don’t hit each other. It’s not good to hit others.” You may try suggesting a non-violent alternative. Say, “Dolls love and hug each other.” Letting your toddler witness violence may make them think it’s okay to be aggressive. This may be a problem if you have older children who watch certain movies or television shows or play video games. Be careful what toys you let your children play with. Consider limiting the amount of violent toys you let them have.  Be careful which programs are on the television when your child is around. This includes movies, television shows, and even the news. Some cartoons are violent, so monitor what your child watches. This includes violence between other members of the household. Seek help if you are concerned about violence in your home.
summary: Try to anticipate the aggressive behavior. Prepare your child for change. Watch out for aggressive playing. Limit exposure to violence.
