In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Create flashcards by hand or online. Whatever method you use, however, make sure that you create your own flashcards. Creating your own flashcards creates neural pathways. These neural pathways will help you retrieve the important information you learned at a later date. Study your flashcards in small 15 to 20-minute sessions.  Make your flashcards by writing down key concepts and ideas on one side, and the answers on the other side. Mix pictures with words on your flashcards. You can use sites like Quizlet, Adobe Spark, or Cram to make flashcards online. Acronyms and mnemonic devices are a great way to memorize difficult information. String together words to make a memorable phrase or sentence. Each word in the phrase should start with the letter of the piece of information you are trying to remember. For example, the phrase, “Never eat shredded wheat” is used by students to remember the order north, east, south, and west appear on a compass. Test your knowledge by reviewing the practice quizzes at the end of each chapter of your textbook. Review the information that you got wrong on the practice quizzes. Re-take the practice quizzes until you get every answer correct  If your textbook doesn’t provide practice quizzes, then create your own. Create open-ended questions based off of your notes and the textbook. Open-ended questions will force you to write out your answers, which will help you retrieve and apply your knowledge during the quiz. Alternatively, have a friend create a practice quiz for you.
Summary: Make flashcards Use mnemonic devices. Quiz yourself.

Move to a place that you can afford, but that also provides you with the opportunities you want. Your money will go much further in some regions than it will in others. On the other hand, the jobs that you'll find in a more expensive area will also typically pay you more. This is the dilemma: the places with the most opportunity are often the most expensive to live, and the most affordable places are often less conducive to building a career. Do not let money be the only deciding factor. Yes, you should move to a place where you'll be able to support yourself and you family. First and foremost, however, you should be excited about where you're going. Factor your current and future career into the equation. Consider searching for jobs in potential new cities just to get an idea for what's out there. Look for areas that feature a lot of jobs in a field that interests you. If you plan to keep your current job, then it may not be feasible to move somewhere that involves a lengthy commute. If you will be moving with children or expecting children, then research which areas have the best opportunities for education. Imagine how the culture and opportunities of a given area will impact the way that a child is raised. Pick a place that will provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for your children to call "home."  Think about the sort of support system that will be available. It can be much easier to raise children, both financially and logistically, if you are living near a network of family and close friends. If you homeschool your child, make sure to look into homeschooling groups for a given area. Some regions are much more friendly to homeschoolers then others.

One-sentence summary -- Take money into account. Think about work. Make the right choice for your children.

Problem: Article: Since small children are constantly making messes and dirtying their clothes, it's easy to feel like your house is always a wreck. If you want your child to help you keep things tidy, make chores or simple tasks into a game. Avoid just telling your child that he has to clean something up. You may need to help him or get him started. You can also make challenges or chores into races where you compete.  For example, get a large bucket and help your child toss toys into it. You might encourage your child to find all of the blocks or balls to throw in. This will help him learn to sort and makes cleaning more interactive. Make chores a competition between several kids. This will make it seem more like a game. Kids like feeling as though they have some control or power over things. If you give your child an option, he'll feel as though he's in control of the situation and he'll be less likely to disobey or throw a tantrum. For example, you might tell your child he can select his pajamas to get ready for bed or he can pick out what story he'd like to listen to before bedtime.  When giving small kids options, keep them simple or your child might become overwhelmed. Also, give your kid a chance to make the decision. If you're caring for several kids, ask "who wants to help me with this project?" Small children don't have a sense of time like adults do. But, they do have a sense of routine. Knowing what comes next and what to expect during the day can be comforting. You don't need to plan out detailed activities for every hour of the day. But, a loose routine will give your kid a sense of security which can improve his behavior and create good habits.  For example, a loose bedtime routine might include getting pajamas on, brushing teeth, snuggling while reading stories, and bed. When handling more than one child, it can help to coordinate their nap schedules so that they both get rest and you get a break. Don't wait for your child to do something naughty before talking about appropriate behavior. Instead, catch your child doing something good and praise him for it. Kids respond better to positive reinforcement than punishment. Just be sure to use specific praises or your child might start tuning it out.  For example, if your child wipes up a spill, you could say, "Good job cleaning up after your mess!" Avoid chastising one child by pointing out how good another child is. This will just make one kid resent the other one.
Summary:
Make tasks fun. Give choices. Create a routine. Reward good behavior.
