INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before creating glow-in-the-dark slime, collect the following ingredients and tools:  Disposable Cups Sealable Sandwich Bags ¾ teaspoon Polyvinyl Alcohol ½ Cup Water ⅛ teaspoon Green Glow Paint ¾ teaspoon Borax Powder ½ Cup Warm Water To create glow-in-the-dark slime, you must first create a PVA solution.  Measure ¾ teaspoon polyvinyl alcohol. Pour it into a disposable cup. Measure ½ cup water. Pour the water into the disposable cup. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are combined. The addition of green glow paint causes the slime to illuminate in the dark.  Unseal a sandwich bag. Measure 2 teaspoons PVA solution and pour it into the bag. Measure ⅛ teaspoon green glow paint. Add the paint to the PVA solution in the bag. Seal the bag well. Squish the contents with your fingers to combine the PVA solution with the paint. In a separate bag, produce a borax solution.  Unseal a new bag. Measure 3/4 teaspoon borax powder and pour it into the bag. Measure ½ cup warm water. Pour the water into the bag with the borax. Seal the bag. Squish the contents with your fingers. Continue to mix the ingredients in this manner until the powder is dissolved. The glow-in-the-dark slime is a mixture of the PVA-paint solution and the borax solution.  Retrieve and new sandwich bag and unseal it. Pour 2 tablespoons PVA-paint solution into the bag. Pour 2 teaspoons borax solution into the bag. Seal the sandwich bag. Combine the solutions by kneading the contents of the bag. Allow the slime to charge for a few hours. Set the bag in a windowsill or near a light. Take the slime into a dark room or bring it outside at night to watch it glow.

SUMMARY: Gather the ingredients and tools. Make a PVA solution. Combine the PVA solution with glow paint. Create a borax solution. Combine the two solutions. Charge the slime and watch it glow.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a safer example than monsters. Find something your child created or enjoys and take a moment to discuss the difference between imagination and reality.  During the day, have your child draw pictures of the monsters he imagines at night. Then, take time to discuss it with him to help demystify the monster. If your child enjoys drawing special or funny cars then take time and draw a silly one that could never exist and ask your child if they ever saw such a crazy car. Take time to explain how you used your imagination to draw the car. Then explain the same concept to them with the monsters. Ignoring, devaluing, or extinguishing your child’s fears about monsters will only let your child believe that something is wrong with her. If you belittle her fear, most likely she will still believe in monsters and will no longer talk to you about it.  Refrain from saying things like "Big girls don't believe in monsters," or "Don't be a baby," or "The Boogie Man will get you tonight if you don’t go to sleep." Instead, relate to your child by explaining that you once believed in monsters too, and that eventually she will conquer her fears, too. Watch movies like Monsters, Inc. or read books such as Happy Monsters that would be helpful in alleviating the fear of monsters. If there is any part of the movie or book scares her take time to discuss it with her. Role play as monsters. Either you or your child is the monster and have fun with it. Use masks or costumes to make it more real but make sure your child is in complete control and laughing. This should be a fun exercise to give your child a different perspective, not a scary one. If you child’s nighttime fear and anxiety of monsters becomes too severe or manifest during the daytime, then it might be time to get a psychological evaluation to better identify and treat your child’s fears.  Be clear about the difference between fear and phobia. If your child is only afraid of monsters at night when you turn off the light and shut the door, it is most likely fear. If your child refuses to go into the bedroom or gets anxiety when the sun goes down, it is probably a phobia. Fears last a couple of weeks or even a few months, but if your child’s fear lasts longer than six months and continues to get worse, don’t ignore the issue or it could damage your child’s psychological development. Studies have demonstrated that children who have severe nighttime fears often suffer from daytime anxieties, impulsivity, or abnormal attention control. If these fears or anxieties begin to disrupt your child’s normal daily activities, then you should contact your pediatrician or child psychologist. Be aware that this can happen to a child at any age, even an infant.
Summary: Discuss reality and imagination. Acknowledge Her fear. Talk to a therapist.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get a wire coat hanger and shape it into a ring. The easiest way to do this would be to slide it over a 5-gallon (18.5-L) bucket. Pull the hanger off of the bucket when you are done. Use some pliers to untwist the wire at the top of the hanger. Open up the hanger; you will be stringing the flowers onto the hanger, then twisting it back together. Leave the hook intact; do not cut the hanger. Purchase a bunch of fake flowers with wired stems; they must have wired stems or the next step won't work. Use wire cutters to cut the flowers so that the stems are 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) long. If there are any leaves on the cut stems, be sure to pull those off too.  Large flowers, such as roses or peonies work the best for this. How many flowers you buy depends on how big they are and how full you want the wreath to be. You are not attaching these to the hanger just yet. Instead, twist the flower stem into a loop about halfway down. When you are done, you'll have a flower with a short stem that has a loop at the bottom.  Repeat this step for all of your flowers. Use a skewer or knitting needle to form the loops. They need to be small enough to slide onto the hanger. The wreath should be full enough so that the flowers don't slide around.  You can fit more flowers by rotating the flowers around the wreath in a spiral rather than stacking them together. Do not cover the twisted part of the coat hanger, or you won't be able to reassemble it. Move the flowers aside if needed, then twist the wires back together like they used to be. Once your wreath is reassembled, hang it up somewhere using the hook. You can reuse this wreath base simply by untwisting it, pulling off the old flowers, then adding new ones.

SUMMARY:
Bend a wire coat hanger into a ring. Untwist the hanger, but leave the hook intact. Cut fake flowers into 4 to 5-inch (10 to 13-cm) lengths. Twist the stems into small loops for stringing onto the hanger. String the flowers onto the wire hanger. Re-twist the coat hanger, then hang the wreath up using the hook.
