Problem: Article: There are many types of air fresheners that are designed specifically for cars. To pick a scent, simply find one that appeals to your sense of smell. No matter what kind you get, be sure to place it in an area that gets lots of airflow, so that the scent circulates throughout the car.  Vent clip and dashboard air fresheners are meant to be clipped to or positioned over the vents. Tree-style and other air fresheners can be placed hanging from the rear view mirror, or under the dash—where the passenger’s feet go—to get the most circulation. Spray or aerosol-style air fresheners can also be used in cars to mask smells and leave a fresh scent. Spray the liquid into the air in the car, rather than directly onto the seats, dash, floor, or roof. You can use a regular house and home spray like Lysol or Febreze, or you can purchase one that’s made specifically for cars, such as:  Chemical Guys new car smell K1 air freshener for cars Armor All new car smell air freshener Instead of purchasing an air freshener, you can also use a few spritzes of your favorite cologne or perfume to make the inside of your car smell nice. As with the air freshener, don’t spray the liquid directly onto any of the car’s surfaces. If you have an old tree-style air freshener lying around that doesn’t have any scent left, you can spray perfume directly on this and place it back in the car. Scented candles come in hundreds of different smells, and there's no reason you can't use them to make your car smell nice. Look for a smaller candle that will fit under the driver or passenger seat. A tea light or votive will be a good size. Don’t use candles that are in jars, otherwise you won’t be able to smell them. Take a new box of dryer sheets and open the box. Place the box under the driver or passenger seat to give your car that fresh laundry smell. To make for a slower release of the scent, keep the box sealed and poke a couple holes in the top and sides.
Summary: Hang an air freshener in the car. Apply an odor-eliminating air freshener. Spray perfume in the car. Place an unlit scented candle under the front seat. Keep dryer sheets under the front seat.

Problem: Article: You can more actively be involved with your child's education by making sure that you communicate with her. One of the best ways to do this is by asking questions. This shows that you care and are interested in her school life and what she is learning.  Ask open-ended questions. Try to avoid questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. Instead of saying, "Did you have a good day?", try "What was the best part of your day?". This will give you a better opportunity to develop the conversation. Kids want to feel like you respect and value their feelings and opinions. When you ask a question, make sure that you actively listen to the answer. There are many ways to demonstrate that you are listening.  Ask follow-up questions. If your child says, "Gym class was cool today," ask a question like, "What made it great? What did you do?" Use positive body language. Maintaining eye contact and nodding your head are excellent ways to show that you are paying attention. Set aside time each day to spend with your child. This will allow you to get a more accurate sense of what is going on in her life, including school activities. If possible, try to eat dinner together each night. Meals are a great time to talk about the day.  Schedule time to attend your child's activities. If she sings in a choir, make sure to attend concerts. It will show her that you are interested in her life. Offer to help with homework. Set aside time each evening to help your child with any problems that are giving her trouble. Providing supportive words is one of the best ways to help your child succeed. Be an active participant in her education by cheering her on when she succeeds and offering support when she struggles. Your feedback is important to helping your child learn more and grow as a student.  Offer positive reinforcement. If your child gets an "A" on a spelling test, that is cause for celebration. If your child struggles on an assignment, try to figure out what went wrong. Ask her if she needs more time at home to work on projects, for instance.
Summary: Ask questions. Listen carefully. Make time for your child. Offer encouragement.

Problem: Article: Simon says is a simple and fun game played by children all over the world. Although Simon says is normally reserved as a children’s activity, people of all ages can play and enjoy the game. Normally, all the players in Simon says remain standing for the duration of the playing round. However, you could also play sitting down. Within your group of players, designate one person to be Simon. Whoever is chosen to be Simon will then stand in front of and face the rest of players in the group. Simon is the leader and commander of the group of listeners. Simon gives commands to the group of listeners. Simon’s commands can be given in two different ways: beginning a command by saying, “Simon says…” or simply stating the command. Simon’s goal is to eliminate as many listeners as possible, until there is one listener remaining as the winner. Depending on which way the command is phrased, the group of listeners will either obey the command, or not. Simon eliminates listeners by having them incorrectly obey or not obey commands. Listeners must listen closely to what the leader, Simon, commands them to do. If Simon gives a command by first stating, “Simon says…” the listeners must obey Simon’s command. If Simon gives a command without first saying, “Simon says…” the listeners must not obey his command. If a listener incorrectly obeys or does not obey Simon’s command, they are eliminated from the rest of the game round, and must sit out until another game round is started. Because you are trying to eliminate as many listeners as you can, you should try and make your commands tricky to follow. For example, frequently switch up when you give commands preceded with, “Simon says…” Give your commands quickly so your listeners have to make quick decisions on whether to obey your command or not. When someone incorrectly obeys one of your (Simon’s commands), call them out so they can be eliminated from the remaining group of players still in the game. As Simon, you can get creative with your commands; however, some common commands Simon can give include:  Touch your toes.  Hop on one foot. Dance around the room.  Do some jumping jacks. Give yourself a hug. As a listener, you have to listen and pay attention very carefully to the commands given by Simon. Simon will try to trick you into obeying commands you shouldn’t by giving the commands very quickly. Wait a split second before you go to perform a command, to think back if Simon preceded the command by first saying, “Simon says…”  After Simon gives a command (assuming the command is preceded by, “Simon says…”), perform the command until Simon moves on to the next command. If the next command is not preceded by, “Simon says…” continue to perform or hold the previous command. Keep playing until there is one remaining listener left. The remaining listener is the winner for the round, and becomes the new Simon. At the start of a new game round, all the eliminated players are back in the next game.
Summary:
Gather your group of players. Designate someone as Simon. Understand the role of Simon. Understand the role of the listeners. Give commands as Simon. Obey commands as a listener. Start a new game.
