In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Snails need to lay eggs in moist soil. Since they typically lay eggs while they’re active at night, you want the ground to dry out before nightfall. If you water your plants in the morning, the ground should dry out over the course of the day. If you can, opt for a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose, which will help manage the ground moisture so that snails can’t easily procreate. Snails are very attracted to moist, decaying organic matter, so they’ll likely stick around if you don’t clean up often. Check your yard and garden for debris at least once a week. Be sure to remove these items and place them in a compost or your trash. Keep in mind that a compost pile is going to be a carnival for your snails. Place it far away from your yard and garden. Additionally, surround it with an abrasive barrier to reduce snail activity. Great options include broken eggshells, diatomaceous earth, gravel, wood ash, and cedar chips. All of these items are hard for snails to cross, which effectively keeps them out. Put down a thin layer around the location you want the snails to avoid.  Crush up eggshells for an easy, at home option. You can find diatomaceous earth, gravel, wood ash, and cedar chips at a local gardening store or online. Since snails are sensitive to caffeine, they will naturally avoid used coffee grounds. Spread the coffee grounds on top of the soil or around the base of your home, as needed. If you don’t drink coffee, check with your local coffee shops, as they may give away their used coffee grounds. Copper gives snails a tiny shock, so they will instinctively avoid it. You can apply copper tape around potted plants, around your garden edges, or wherever the snails are going. If you’re using wire, tie it around your pots or make copper garden stakes.  As another option, you can sprinkle pennies around the area, as they contain copper. You can find copper tape at a local gardening store or online. These include foxglove, euphorbias, Japanese anemones, day lilies, succulents, astrantia, salvia, and fennel. Each of these plants has either a smell that snails don’t like or an uncomfortable surface that makes it hard for the snail to climb around it. If you have these in your garden or around your home, snails are less likely to stick around.  For example, you might put a potted plant near the area where snails are crawling on your home. Keep in mind that foxglove is toxic, so it may not be a good option if you have children and pets in your home.
Summary: Water your soil in the morning to reduce egg laying. Remove moist, decaying debris from around your yard and garden. Surround your garden or home with an abrasive barrier to deter snails. Sprinkle used coffee grounds around your garden, as caffeine deters snails. Use copper wire or tape to discourage snail activity. Add plants that naturally deter snails.

Problem: Article: A variety of psychological problems in children reveal themselves through anger. Speaking with your pediatrician or therapist may help you understand if this is why your child seems to experience bouts of anger that aren’t appropriate to you. If you get a diagnosis, medication or therapy may be the answer. ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism, and sensory processing issues may cause a child to feel a higher level of anger than those without them do. Learning disorders and trauma and neglect are also potential causes of hostility in children. A natural response to pain in anyone, child or adult, is anger. If your child is in pain and you aren’t aware of it, they may become angry sooner or at a more intense level than what you think is necessary. They may not understand the pain or why they are in pain, or it may confuse or scare them. They act out in temper tantrums or fits of rage as a way to manage it. Chronic headaches, allergies, stomach issues, problematic teeth, or even juvenile arthritis are all common causes of pain in children. Ask them if something hurts, and if they say yes or aren’t at an age where they are able to communicate it well, take them to a doctor for testing. Once the pain subsides, you may see an improvement in their behavior. Children often respond in anger when they feel hurt, threatened, or insecure. Anger is an emotion that is used to shield other emotions, such as shame, guilt, sadness, or fear. It is important to help your child identify the source of their emotions. Take a good, hard look at what is happening in your child’s life and you may find the answer. You can ask your child if anything is occurring that is upsetting them, but you may have to do some investigating on your own. Ask your child your child’s teacher if they are being bullied at school or experiencing any other issues. If so, this may be the reason for the anger. Additionally, consult with your child’s sports coach, the parents of their friends, or other adults in their lives that may know something your child is experiencing that you don’t know about. Sometimes, your child may feel angry, but isn’t exactly sure why. Talking to them about it and helping them to pinpoint why they are upset can help them to fully understand the situation, and then perhaps not become so angered by it. Your child may also feel better just by talking about what is going on. Pull them away from the situation, get down to their eye level, and then ask questions to determine the cause of the rage.  For example, if your child’s friend has to stop playing and go home and your child responds with an outburst, say, “It would be great if your friend could stay here longer, but they can’t. They are needed at home. They can come back another day.” Or, you could simply ask them if that’s the problem. Both techniques validate your child’s feelings and if you are able to redirect them by telling them what they want will likely happen again in the future, it may buffer their disappointment and anger.
Summary:
Determine if your child has a psychological issue. Rule out any physical pain. Figure out if something is occurring that you don’t know about. Help your child identify their feelings.
