Q: 2 year olds have short attention spans and can be easily distracted. That means you can often redirect them away from bad behavior simply by distracting them with the mention of something else.  For example, if they raise their arm to throw a block because their tower keeps falling, try something like “Hey, let's go outside and play with that new soccer ball you got” or “I want to bake a cake for tonight. Can you help me mix the batter?” Use redirection right before they start misbehaving, or right as it begins to occur. Otherwise, it might seem like you're rewarding them for misbehavior by offering a fun alternative. Use a different form of discipline if the misbehavior is well underway. You want them to associate good behavior not only with you being happy, but also with them having fun. Describe or demonstrate the positives of the alternate activity for them.  If your 2 year old refuses to clean up their toys, for example, you could suggest that you play a game to see how fast they can do things. Get out a stopwatch and time them doing a few tasks, then say “Let's see how quickly you can put these toys away.” As you play your game of putting the toys away quickly, remind them why it's important to do so. If they still refuse to take part in putting the toys away, move on to another form of discipline. You can proactively redirect 2 year olds as well. If they always end up getting into trouble in your room or the laundry room, keep the doors closed to these rooms. Centralize their favorite activities in rooms with fewer temptations or distractions, like a playroom or their bedroom. Whenever you leave the house with a 2 year old, always assume that you'll need to redirect them from bad to good behavior at least once, if not multiple times. Keep your bag stocked with a rotating array of distractions that will redirect their focus when needed.  For instance, if a tantrum breaks out at the grocery store when you say no to a bag of candy, pull out a favorite fruit or a container of crackers from your bag to redirect the child's hunger or desire. Keep in mind that if distractions fail, you should have a talk with your child about the rules right away.
A: Offer an alternate activity when they start misbehaving. Make the alternate, good behavior seem like lots of fun. Direct them away from potential problems before they happen. Be prepared with distractions when you leave the house.

Q: Don’t just send a message out of the blue. Instead, learn as much as you can about their interests by scrolling through their feed, pictures, and posts.Then reach out to them indirectly by liking or commenting on one of their posts. To make a comment seem less random, ask mutual friends to tag you in pictures or posts for a few days beforehand, so they'll have a chance to learn about you. Getting an introduction works best when the friend mentions something that you both have in common.This will provide you with a conversation starter. A friend could say something like, "Pat, have you met Jamie? You're both totally obsessed with Star Wars, by the way." Pick an item like a computer or a book they're reading. It helps if you know a lot about the item or topic. Begin by expressing interest in the item. Then move on and compliment something about them. Start by saying something like, "Is that a new smartphone? I really like the decal on the case. Did you draw it yourself?
A: Use social media to connect over shared interests. Ask a mutual friend to introduce you. Use their possessions as conversations starters.

Q: If you’ve encountered a large knot that you can’t get out using your fingers, use a product that will help ease out the knot. Apply the product to the knot according to the instructions on the label.   For fine hair, use a spray. For medium thickness hair, try a lotion. For thick and coarse hair, or kinky hair, use a cream. After you have put the detangling product on the knot, use a wide toothed comb to comb at the knot. Be gentle, using small strokes to work at the knot. You should be able to get most of it out.  If you don’t have a wide toothed comb, you can also use a paddle brush.
A: Apply a detangling product. Use a wide toothed-comb on the knot.
