In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The United States style of dining uses the same starting grips as the European style. Hold the fork facing downward with your index finger on the back of the handle and the knife with your index finger along the back of the handle as well. The United States style of eating with a fork and knife is also referred to as the zig-zag method. Use your fork’s tines to hold the food stable while you cut a piece. Place the knife at about a 45-degree angle on the top right edge of your plate, with the blade facing in, when you are done cutting. Placing the knife on the edge of the plate is known as the resting position. You should still not place the knife on the table in this method to avoid getting the table dirty. Transfer the fork from one hand to the other and reverse the position so you are holding it like a spoon. The index finger of your dominant hand will now be below the handle and your thumb will be on top.  For example, if you are right-handed then you started with the fork in your left hand facing down towards the table. You should now have the fork in your right hand with the tines facing up towards the ceiling. This method of switching the fork and knife back and forth is where the United States style of using cutlery gets it’s zig-zag name. If you are eating something that doesn’t require a knife, then you would just keep your fork in your dominant hand, face up, the whole course. Eat with your fork as if it was a spoon. Don’t use your fork to spear food like in the European method of using cutlery unless it is absolutely necessary. You should never hold your fork with your fist completely wrapped around it. Always keep it with your thumb on top and your index finger underneath the handle. Place the fork with the tines up and put the knife right next to it. Angle the handles down and to the right of the plate. Remember to put any unused cutlery that was meant for that course on the plate as well. If you’re at a restaurant and you don’t do this, the waiter will still do it for you and bring you new cutlery for the next course. It’s proper etiquette to do this yourself.
Summary: Hold the fork in your non-dominant hand and the knife in your dominant hand. Cut a piece of your food and place the knife down on the top edge of your plate. Switch the fork to your dominant hand and flip it so the points face up. Use your fork to scoop up the food and bring it to your mouth. Put the fork and knife side-by-side on the plate when you finish at an angle.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your teen may be motivated to steal due to other issues or problems. Identifying the root cause of your teen's actions will help you prevent your teen from stealing again. Teens tend to steal for several reasons, including:  Peer pressure can be a big motivator for your teen's stealing. They may want the latest smart phone or the cool, new sneakers and feel the only way to get them is to steal them from others, or steal money from you to buy these items. A big part of adolescence is fitting in with peers, and your teen may feel pressure to have certain items so they can blend in with the other teens at school. The need for attention is another possible reason why your teen is stealing. Any attention from others, especially authority figures, can seem better to your teen than none at all. Your teen may be stealing because they know it will get your attention and make you notice them. Embarrassment or anxiety around certain items, like condoms, tampons, emergency contraception, or a pregnancy test, could lead your teen to steal these items. Your teen may be too embarrassed to go to the clinic for these items or to ask you for money for these things, so they feel their only resort is to steal them. The thrill of wrongdoing could also be a motivator for your teen. Often, teens enjoy the thrill of doing something wrong and participating in risky behavior. Most teens are interested in things that are off limits or considered wrong. So stealing may be one way they are pushing the boundaries and trying to see how much they can get away with. If your teen is stealing because they feel they cannot afford items their peers own, have your teen get a part time job after school or take up odd jobs to earn some money. This will help them learn responsibility and money management, and allow them the freedom to purchase items they want, rather than steal them. You want to suggest your teen create a budget and learn how to  manage their money so they develop good money management habits. Encourage your teen to focus their energy on improving their skills and abilities with others in a productive way through joining a sports team or a club at school. This may help them connect with peers who are interested in other things besides material objects or the latest must-have items. Stealing can be seen as a cry for attention from your teen. Don't ignore this. Instead, try to spend quality time with your teen on a consistent basis. Show your teen you care about them and what they're interested in by suggesting you do a favorite activity together or you both go see a band they like. During this quality time, you may want to discuss contraception, condoms, tampons etc. with your teen if you find out embarrassment or shame was their reason for stealing. Let your teen ask specific questions and provide these items so your teen does not have to feel embarrassed about having them. Talk to your teen about sex if this is part of their motivation for stealing. If you catch your teen stealing again, it may be time to reach out to a family counselor or a therapist. Some teens steal due to deeper issues that may require hands on therapy, with your family or at an individual level. Don't let your teen's stealing become a habit, as this can lead to more serious consequences and a skewed moral code for your teen. Some teens can develop kleptomania, a rare compulsive disorder where the person feels anxiety or tension before stealing and then feels relief or gratification after stealing. Talk to your doctor or a therapist if you suspect your teen may be developing this disorder.
Summary:
Ask your teen why they feel they need to steal. Provide other sources of income for your teen. Get your teen involved in healthy extra curricular activities. Spend quality time with your teen. Speak to a family counselor or therapist if your teen keeps stealing.
