In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: At least, don't do so where your child can hear it. If your child hears you saying bad things, they will start questioning their relationship with your ex. Also, it can cause your child stress to hear bad things about someone they love. Therefore, try to save those conversations for your friends, not your kids. In an environment where they are shuffled back and forth, the child can feel a little lost, especially if your spouse isn't as encouraging of your child and their independence. Therefore, it's important that you take the time to nurture your child, and encourage them to explore their strengths and skills.  One way to encourage independence is to let your children tackle projects by themselves, or at least, mostly by themselves. Giving them a chance to try new things without hovering helps them learn how to solve problems and grow. Another thing you can do is praise the child's accomplishments. When your child has worked hard on something, let them know that you noticed their hard work, even if the result wasn't quite what they wanted. For instance, say your child got a B on a spelling test, but they worked very hard through the whole week to get that B. You could say, "I know you wanted a higher grade, but I'm proud of you for working so hard. Sometimes, we don't get the result we want, but if you do your best and work hard, you can still be proud of yourself." Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify emotions in yourself and others. It also involves being able to deal with those emotions positively. Helping your child to develop emotional intelligence will help them deal with the other parent if your ex isn't being as emotionally nurturing. In addition, it will teach your child coping skills they need later in life.  Start by helping your child identifying what they're feeling. For instance, when your child throws a toy, don't just react. Instead, sit the child down and say, "I think you're feeling frustrated because you couldn't figure out the toy. Frustration is when you are annoyed because you can't get something to go how you want." Show empathy. When your child is upset, show you understand how it feels. For instance, you could say, "I know how upsetting frustration can feel. I feel frustrated sometimes, too." Help the child see how to deal with the emotion better. "I understand that you were frustrated, but throwing the toy isn't an appropriate way to deal with that emotion. If you're frustrated, you can ask for help or choose to play with something else."
Summary: Don't say bad things about your ex. Encourage your child to learn and grow. Help your child learn emotional intelligence.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set the glass on small plates so you can catch the overflow from the fizz. Pour the soda slowly to keep it from overflowing.  For best results, start with chilled soda. You can also chill your glass by setting it in the freezer for about 10 minutes beforehand. Pouring the soda first and then adding the ice cream will result in a small amount of foam. If you prefer a float with more foam, add the ice cream to the cup before the soda. Slowly add one scoop of vanilla ice cream into each glass. If you have more room, and you prefer more ice cream, add another scoop.  For best results, make sure your ice cream is very cold. If it gets too hard to scoop, you can leave it on the counter for a few minutes to soften. If the ice cream sticks, use a spoon to push it off the scooper into the cup. Drizzle a small amount of cola on top of the ice cream. This will turn to foam. Keep pouring until your glass is full.  Tilt your glass slightly and pour the cola slowly to reduce foam. Fill your cup until the coke is just higher than the ice cream. Let your float sit a while. Give it about 5-10 minutes for the ice cream to melt but not too long, or it won't be cold enough. Stir until it reaches a consistency somewhere between "ice cream soup" and a milkshake. Add cola to thin it or ice cream to thicken it as you desire. Dip a spoon in your cup and top it off with a straw. Eat your float slowly, starting with the cold frozen foam on top, scooping ice cream and cola together with your spoon. Use the straw to sip the remainder of creamy cola left in the glass.
Summary:
Fill a glass 3/4 with cola. Add the ice cream. Top off your float. Mix it up (optional). Serve.
