Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk your teen about what they’d like, where, and when. Plan out the guest list. Make sure the invites get sent out appropriately. Consider having a theme. Provide all the fixin’s for your party. Keep a watchful eye, but allow them their fun.

Answer: Now that your child is old enough, they should have a big say in their party. Do they want it at home or out? What do they want to do? Do they want it during the day or at night?  If they have a bunch of ideas, narrow it down for them to 3 or so that you've preapproved – they can then pick which one they want from there. Talk about a budget and scheduling constraints. You'll have to be the voice of reason in this conversation. Be honest and let them know what's doable and what's not. Ask your teen to come up with "the short list" – 8 or so people they want at their party. Ultimately the party should be determined by where it is (if it's somewhere else, that's less work for you) and how long it's going to last. 8 people out for pizza is manageable, but you'll only want to take 3 or 4 to the amusement park.  You're finally at an age where it matters who gets invited – some people may not get along or not want to do certain things. Talk to your teen about what the people they're inviting are like, if they know each other, and any problems they foresee. Consider doing it elsewhere, like at a restaurant, trampoline park, bowling alley or arcade. Your teen likely wants freedom, and it's easier on you, too. Teens are at an age where feelings can get hurt. If your teen is inviting some kids at school and not others, find a way to make it so the invites are sent out discreetly. If they're not, it might start unnecessary drama that could dampen the event. If possible, send them via email. Ask for RSVPs so you know who is coming and can have a head count. Have your teen send reminder texts or phone calls, too, before the big day. Theme parties are fun for 4-year-olds, 40-year-olds, and everyone in between (though the themes change over time). Talk to your teen about having a theme – the kids can then dress up, you'll have fun planning out themed food, and it'll make it easier to decorate and find matching additions. This should be your teen's decision. As long as it's appropriate and doable, it should be a go. If you don't like it, give your teen a good reason why and offer alternatives. This is especially important if you're having the party at home: plan and arrange all the food and decorate till the cows come home. With a theme it'll be easier to pick out; if you don't have one, it's up to you. Here's a few things to keep in mind:  Keep the snacks coming; worry less about the main food. You can always whip up spaghetti or order pizza, depending on what the party-goers feel like. But don't forget the cake! To keep the mess better for you, buy plastic plates, forks, knives, and cups to keep the after-party clean-up to a minimum. Don't be nervous to ask other parents to bring along a few dishes if the party is at your house. A few bags of chips or some liters of soda is an easy way they can chip in. You need to be there to problem-solve and diffuse any tension, but when things are going well, allow them their space and their fun. They're at an age where they can take care of themselves. Be as far away as you feel is appropriate. Odds are your teen will need you to order the pizza or take care of any mess they create. While it may not be in the way you want, you'll likely be needed to stay relatively near.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider the way you learn best.

Answer: Each person has his or her own best way of learning something. Knowing how you learn best and choosing a method for learning WordPress that fits your learning style can help you master it more easily. A list of learning styles is given below, along with available methods for learning WordPress for you to consider:  Aural: You enjoy learning through sound and music. You might like to learn WordPress through classroom lectures or podcasts. Logical: You enjoy learning opportunities that require you to think things through. You might want to attend WordPress classes that focus on figuring out how to do things in WordPress. Physical: You enjoy “hands-on” learning. You’ll want a class with ample time to practice what you’ve just learned or else pause the video frequently to try out the concept you see displayed. Social: You enjoy learning with other people, working in groups when possible. You’ll want to be part of a WordPress group that meets in person. Solitary: You enjoy learning things on your own. You may learn best from the WordPress sites, a third-party blog, a YouTube video, or some combination of these. Visual/spatial: You like to learn from pictures. You’ll want to refer to the screenshots in the WordPress pages and in YouTube videos frequently to help you learn.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a suit or button-down shirt. Choose the right shoes. Add a belt and other adornments.

Answer: If the dance calls for formal attire, rent or buy a suit and wear a button-down shirt and tie underneath. You can opt for an optional vest or cumberbund under the suit, too. Or go without a jacket altogether and stick with nice dress pants and a button-down for more semi-formal dances. If you’re going with a date, coordinate with them first to see if part of their outfit can match yours. If your date is a girl, their dress, top, or accessories could match your shirt, tie, or vest/cumberbund. Get dress shoes made of leather or similar material. Match them with the color of belt that you’re wearing. Wear a nice leather belt, and choose a watch and a piece of jewelry if you like, such as a ring or a simple necklace. Get cufflinks to fasten the sleeves of your button-down shirt. You can wear a top hat or other dressy hat if you want, but anything like a cap or beanie isn’t acceptable for a formal dance. For a prom or other very formal dance, you can follow the tradition of wearing a boutonniere that complements your outfit and a girl’s corsage. You can tell your date what color to buy you, or you can just buy or make your own! Wear your boutonniere pinned to the lapel of your suit.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Empty your pockets and wallet of loose change at the end of the day. Check for loose change in your home or car. Keep your eyes open when out in public. Borrow or rent a metal detector. Find ways to create more change. Check for valuable coins.

Answer:
Not only will your purse be lighter without the change weighing it down, but you will also ensure that you actually make note of and save that change. When cleaning your car or vacuuming your sofa, check for loose change in the seats, between the cushions, or on the floor. You’ll be surprised by how much you can gather by just looking for it. Loose change can often be found on the ground in parking lots, in change slots in vending machines, and near drive-through windows. Make it a habit to check these areas for loose change, and you can add to your growing collection. If you’re looking for a hobby that can potentially help your bottom line, using a metal detector to find loose change could be for you. When you go out with your detector, practice the “low and slow” method by keeping the detector coil close to the ground and giving the machine enough time to process what’s below. Then, when you hear a beep, carefully dig and look for buried coins or other treasure.  Parks, sports fields, and beaches are popular places for metal detecting. If you want to use your detector on private property, be sure to ask permission first. Make it a habit to pay for small items in cash, and pay a whole dollar amount instead of providing change. For example, if your coffee is $4.35, pay with a $5 instead of four singles, a quarter, and a dime. The more change you create, the more change you can save. When gathering and picking up change, keep an eye out for coins that may be worth more than face value. Silver coins (like dimes and quarters) minted prior to 1965 may have enough silver in them to be worth more than the $0.10 or $0.25 you may think they’re worth.
