Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Help your child find other introverts. Encourage new experiences. Avoid forcing your teen to do things they don’t want to. Use technology to communicate. Allow your teen to prepare for new situations.

Answer: Just because your child is an introvert doesn’t mean they don’t want to have friends or socialize. They will probably do better becoming friends with other introverts than extroverts. Take your teen to places where they might meet other introverts, like library teen events, teen book clubs, or board game cafes.  If your child has introverted friends already, make your home a safe space for them to interact without expecting them to be extroverted or going out of their comfort zone. Ask your teen’s teachers or other parents if they know any introverted students who may be similar to your child. You should help your teen try new experiences even though they may be nervous. Do this slowly and gradually. Don’t force them to go somewhere they don’t want to, but also don’t let them miss all new experiences. Gently encourage them to do things, like go to a birthday party they were invited to. However, respect their limits if they refuse to do certain things.  If your child is resistant to trying new things, talk to them about it. Tell them, “The way you feel about things is normal. However, you should try some new experiences. There’s nothing to worry about when you try something new. You may discover you like something you didn’t know you liked. If you don’t like it, then that’s okay. At least you tried.” Reinforce the positive outcomes when your child takes a chance. For example, if your child goes to a party, say, “Even though you were hesitant, you went to the party and had a great time. You even made new friends.” Give positive reinforcement when your child goes outside of their comfort zone and tries something. Say, “I’m proud that you tried that new activity. I know that was difficult for you.” Many people try to force introverted kids to be extroverted. Introverts are sometimes passed over because they’re not as outgoing, or they are told they are wrong for being introverted. This leads to people trying to force them to socialize more, be more outgoing, and go out of their comfort zone. Try to avoid doing this with your child. Realize that your child has their own unique personality. Not everyone needs to be outgoing to be happy or fulfilled. Don’t make you teen do things they are uncomfortable with or act in ways they don’t want to. For an introvert, talking or interacting in person may be overwhelming or difficult. Many introverts pull away from crowds or others, or choose their words carefully and have trouble getting out their ideas verbally. Try using technology to communicate with your teen.  Texting is a great way to talk to your teenager. Your teen may open up more if you text, “How was your day?” than if you ask them in person. Introverts may not feel comfortable calling their friends on the phone, but they can text and e-mail to keep in touch and communicate. Your introverted teen may feel overwhelmed when approaching new situations. You should allow them to get used to the idea of a new situation at first. You can do this by letting them arrive somewhere early so they get used to the area or discussing the situation and experience beforehand.  Your teen may feel more comfortable arriving at a party early so they can get there before too many people are there and get used to the environment. Your teen may want to go to a new place and observe everything before joining in or entering. This helps them process. You may let your teen go to the school before the school year to check out where their classes are, the route they will have to take, and how close it is to their locker.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get into good shape. Don’t rely on supportive garment to keep hernias in place. Use good posture while lifting objects. Quit smoking Wear loose-fitting clothing. Stay upright after eating.

Answer: Hernias are more common in people who are overweight or who are in poor shape. If you are overweight or if you are not in good shape, then try to lose some weight by changing your diet and incorporate more exercise into your routine as well.  Start by doing something low impact, such as walking or biking, and add intensity as you get stronger. Focus on preventative strengthening exercises for your core (your abdominal and back muscles). This may help to reduce your risk of some of the most common types of hernias. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day 5 days per week. Such support is only good for short term use after surgery.  Using supportive garment in order to be able to lift more weight does not protect or prevent you from developing a hernia. It is best to avoid lifting heavy objects to prevent a hernia. However, if you need to lift a heavy object, make sure to use good form. Using bad posture when lifting an object may also cause a hernia. Start checking your posture before you lift an object to ensure that you are using good lifting posture. Some things to keep in mind when lifting objects include:  Keep your back straight and your abdominal muscles tight. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Use your leg muscles to do the work rather than your back. Don't turn by twisting at the waist. Turn with your entire body. . Smoker’s cough can become severe and this frequent, hard coughing lead to a hernia. Smoking also increases your risk of developing cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and many other serious conditions. If you smoke, ask your doctor about medications and smoking cessation programs that may help you to quit. Sometimes hernias may be caused by wearing clothing that fits too tightly around your waist. To eliminate this factor, make sure that you wear clothing that fits comfortably and that does not put too much pressure on your waist.  Wear clothing a size larger than you need to provide some extra space around your waist. Wear clothes with an elastic waistband instead of fitted clothes. You are also at a higher risk of developing a hernia after you have eaten. To reduce your risk, don’t bend over or lay down for about 2 to 3 hours after eating. Sit upright or recline in a chair after eating and avoid doing anything that requires you to bend over.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Seek help from family members. Consult with someone in your organization. Consider the local authorities.

Answer: If you haven’t already discussed the issues you’re facing, now is the time to talk with family members.  This is particularly important for younger people, as parents may need to be involved per the school’s policy. For adults, seeking advice from your spouse is often helpful in knowing what to do next. Most importantly, you should have an outlet, someone to talk to about how you’re feeling and what you’re experiencing. If your immediate authority figure, such as a teacher, isn’t responsive to your issue; find someone who is.  At school that might be a principal or a guidance counselor. In the workplace, if it’s not your boss, it may be a human resources representative or another supervisor. Ideally you want to find someone in your organization who will support you and help to resolve any bullying issues. If you aren’t able to resolve the issue within your organization, it may be time to seek help from local authorities.  Call your local police station ahead of time to find out what information they need. They can give you a better idea as to what the procedure is and what steps will be taken once a report has been filed.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Push off the wall, keeping your whole body under water. Bend your knees slightly and extend your legs behind your body. Bring your legs forcefully forward. Extend your feet fully. Keep your body underwater.

Answer:
Stretch your hands in front of you in a streamline position. Keep your feet and legs straight and together, and keep your core tense.  You should start off low enough in the water that you’ll be able to keep your whole body underwater while you execute the stroke. You might need to start off at a slight downward angle in order to achieve this, and it will probably take some practice. Be sure to breathe in fully before starting, since you’ll be under water for a while. You can do the dolphin stroke on your back, your front, or even your side, but when you’re learning it, it’s probably easier to start prone, with your face toward the bottom of the pool. Tilt your pelvis forward slightly to drive this motion. This part of the stroke is the backward kick, and it is meant to get your body into position.  Focus on achieving a full extension with your legs. Tilt your pelvis backward to drive this part of the stroke. This is the forward kick, which provides the stroke’s propulsion. Your legs should extend in front of your body line during this part of the kick. Feet, like a dolphin’s fins, generate much of the thrust in this kick. Fully extending your ankles can maximize this effect. This is an unusual position in daily life, but strong, flexible ankles will improve all of your swimming kicks, not only the dolphin.  In essence, you are pushing water, not only up and down, but also backward with this kick. Flexible, extended ankles are crucial to doing this effectively.  Strengthen and stretch your ankles by tracing the alphabet with your feet. Lie on your back in a comfortable position and write each letter, lowercase and uppercase, in the air with each foot. Don’t use the motion of your hips to stay underwater. Instead, control your depth using your arms. By keeping your arms in streamline position and pointing them slightly toward the bottom of the pool, you will resist the tendency of your body to float to the surface. The kick’s power is based in part on the insight that kicking underwater avoids the resistance created by turbulence and air at the surface.
