In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Turning your body towards his is a welcoming and friendly gesture, and can warm a person up to us without them even realizing you’re doing anything. When you speak to him, make sure your legs are pointing towards him. If you’re in a chair, swivel your body so you’re facing him. If you’re standing in a circle and he approaches, turn your body so that it’s angled toward him. Try to keep your body angled toward wherever he is. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself turning your body towards him. Keep it subtle and natural. Happiness is an incredibly attractive feature, and a big smile is sure to catch his eye. You don’t have to plaster a giant grin on your face, but try to smile as much as you possibly can in his presence. When your teacher makes a small joke, when your friend asks to borrow a pencil, whenever. Just show him that you’re a happy, upbeat person.  Fake smiles are pretty easy to spot, so make your smile look genuine and real by thinking of something funny or happy. You don't need to smile 24/7 like a Barbie, but flashing an authentic smile whenever something makes you happy is a great idea. No, you don’t need to give him a giant kiss on the cheek when you say hello or rub his back while he’s doing homework. Instead, find ways to casually touch him. When he makes a joke, brush his arm while you laugh.  For example, you can tap his shoulder if you need get his attention. If he’s passing a paper to you, graze his hand when you take it. Don’t be overly aggressive. The smallest physical contact can get a guy’s attention. This is a subtle little trick to make you seem interested and likable to your crush. Again, it’s a simple way to make him feel connected and welcomed by you. Watch his body language, and mimic it. If he leans towards you, lean into him. If he leans up against a locker, lean up against a locker. If he runs a hand through his hair, wait a few seconds, then do the same. It’s really simple, and it’s really effective. Be sure to allow a 3 to 4-second delay before mirroring his action. You don't want to literally mime him—that will look more strange than endearing.
Summary: Face him. Smile. Make physical contact when appropriate. Mirror him.

Avoid going into the meeting by telling your friend everything they are doing wrong. Your friend is likely to become more defensive if they feel you are attacking them rather than wanting to help them. By making it seem like the meeting is more about how you feel instead of that you are upset by their behavior, they may feel less stressed and more willing to make a change.  For example, use “I” statements like, “I am concerned about you missing work so much,” “I am worried about how much you've been drinking lately,” or “I want to offer my support for you and help you with whatever you are going through.” By starting your sentences with “I,” you avoid placing blame and show that the reason for your talk is because you care and are concerned. People who live in the moment rarely worry about what's going to happen down the road. As such, they may have a “lightbulb moment” when you point out what their behavior is going to cost them. They may not realize it right away, but spelling out the consequences gives them something to think about, which may be what finally gets them to stop hurting themselves.   If your friend has a drug or alcohol problem, say “I am worried that your drug or alcohol use will not only hurt your health, but could cause you to lose your job or even put you in jail.”  If the risky behavior has to do with sexual choices, tell your friend “I am concerned that you have unsafe sex with people and that you may end up with a disease or an unwanted pregnancy because of it.” Again, start your sentences with “I,” and also be clear of the dangers this behavior can result in. Talking non-stop without giving your friend a chance to offer input may make them feel frustrated and left out. Instead, ask questions that get your friend involved. You're more likely to get a positive result out of the meeting when they feel like they have had a say.   Ask “what do you think?” to your friend after you discuss your concerns. Be sure to ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions are those that do not seek a “yes” or “no” answer. The more your friend talks and is open to discussion, the higher the chances are the meeting will be a success. If your friend seems open to talking to you about solutions, propose some possible suggestions from your research. One of the first avenues for help is speaking with a professional counselor. You might help your friend research therapists in your area and even offer to accompany them to an appointment.

Problem: Article: Children with ADHD are often overwhelmed by what might seem like simple tasks.  You can make it easier to achieve tasks by breaking them down into smaller steps, sometimes called "chunking."  Teachers don’t tell students they have a 10-page research paper with citations due in a month, then walk off and expect success. They pass out written instructions with the assignment chunked into milestones with deadlines. Students get feedback at every stage of the process. Parents can do the same with chores, establishing routines that reflect consistent instructions. For example, if your child is responsible for loading the dishwasher, you might break up the task in this way:  First load all the plates on the bottom. Now load all glasses on the top. Next is silverware… and so on. To ensure the child heard and understood the instructions you gave, ask her or him to repeat back what you said. This allows you to verify that the child understood, so you can clarify if necessary. It can also help reinforce the task in the child's mind There are several types of reminders you can provide that can help a child with ADHD stay focused and on task.  For cleanup tasks, you can create a system that uses color-coded bins or shelves. Written labels and pictures can also help the child remember what goes where at cleanup time.  A checklist, day-planner, calendar, or chore-board can also be helpful for children struggling with focus issues.  At school, try to organize a "homework buddy" to help remind the child of school tasks they need to accomplish. Young people in general don't have a very precise sense of time. Children with ADHD struggle with this even more. To help a child with ADHD follow instructions in a timely manner, its important to help with these clock issues. For example, set out a kitchen timer. Let the child know you'd like to see the task completed the before it beeps. Or, play some music the child is familiar with. Tell him or her you want the task completed before the music is over, or before a particular song ends. As the child accomplishes each step of the task, praise him or her. This will help build his or her self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. Providing praise at each step increases the chances of future successes, too. Making chores fun can help reduce the stress that an ADHD child may feel when taking on a new task. Here are a few ideas:  Give instructions using silly voices. Try role-playing. Pretend to be a character from a book, movie or TV show, and/or invite your child to do so. For example, your child could dress up as Cinderella on chore day, while you play music from the movie.  If the child starts to get stressed out, make the next chore a silly one, or assign a silly movement to do or sound to make while working. Don't be afraid to take a snack break if things get too rough.
Summary:
Break it down into steps. Ask the child to repeat what you've said. Provide reminders. Help with time issues. Provide praise at each step. Make it fun.
