Problem: Article: Bilingual immersion is a particularly effective mode of education that incorporates foreign language lessons with traditional academic curriculum. All lessons, as well as conversation and instruction, are delivered in the second language of choice, which allows children to learn through constant exposure. Dual language programs provide instruction in all subjects in the students’ native language 1 day, followed by instruction in all subjects in the second language the next day. This is a good alternative to receiving instruction only in a new language. There are many kid-friendly programs available online that will enhance your child’s ability to pick up a second language. Many of these programs are tailor-made to immerse children in a second language through interactive games, videos, and quizzes. This approach is particularly helpful for parents with busy schedules. Look into options for private classes in your area that will serve your child's age demographic. Private lessons will provide quality instruction, and will allow your child to learn alongside their peers. If a family member is fluent in the second language, invite them over, and encourage them to speak exclusively in that language. Consider hiring a nanny or a babysitter who is a native speaker, and who can help further expose your child to the language. Depending on the language, there are a variety of different extracurricular spaces that can provide your child with a language-immersive environment. Look into different singing, dancing, acting, or cooking classes conducted in a different language. Travel to a foreign country where your family will be fully immersed in the language your child is learning. If you live in a city, consider taking your child to culturally-specific neighborhoods (i.e. Chinatown, Little Italy, etc.), or go out to a culturally-specific restaurant, for an immersive experience closer to home.
Summary: Enroll your child in a bilingual immersion school or dual language program. Invest in a language-learning software. Sign up your child for a foreign language classes. Expose your child to a native speaker. Find extracurricular programs that are conducted in a foreign language. Take your child on a language-immersive trip.

Problem: Article: Maine Coons require a high-quality cat food to stay healthy. Choose a brand name cat food that is meant for cats. If your Maine Coon has any special dietary needs that your veterinarian has identified, then make sure that the food you select meets those needs. For example, if your Maine Coon is overweight, then your veterinarian may recommend feeding him food that is meant for overweight cats.  If you are not sure if a food is considered high-quality, then ask your veterinarian. When choosing food for your cat, look for taurine in the ingredients list. Taurine is an essential amino acid that cats require. Not getting enough Taurine or other required nutrients may result in heart and eye problems. Cat food packages list the amount of food that you should give your cat each day. You can use this amount to help you develop a regular feeding schedule. Divide the total amount of food that your Maine Coon is supposed to eat per day into two portions. Then, feed these portions to your cat about eight to twelve hours apart.  For example, you might give your cat her breakfast at about 7:00am and then give her dinner at around 6:00pm. Since cats prefer smaller meals, feeding your cat her daily food intake in two separate meals will make it more likely that she will eat all of her food. Maine Coons need to have access to a source of fresh, clean water at all times. Make sure that you clean your cat’s water dish daily and keep it filled with clean fresh water at all times. Do not place your cat’s food and water bowls near a litter box. Cats do not like to eat and drink near their litter boxes. Treats provide your Maine Coon with a little reward now and then, so it is nice to keep some cat treats on hand. Just make sure that you do not give your Maine Coon too many treats or he may become overweight or obese.   Try to limit treats to about 5% of your Maine Coon’s daily intake. Look for treats that can help to clean your cat's teeth as she chews. These treats can help to maintain your cat's dental health along with regular tooth brushing.
Summary: Choose a high-quality cat food. Develop a regular feeding schedule. Provide plenty of fresh, clean water. Give your Maine Coon treats.

Problem: Article: Before cutting, make sure to leave enough yarn so you can close any places where beans might be able to escape.   When done with this, stick the tapestry needle into the center of the ball and pull it to the other side.  Pull tightly and then cut the string so the end is somewhere inside the hackysack.  Do this same thing to tie off the end string on the other side. Use the stitching as a guide so the reinforcements can be hidden.
Summary: Use a tapestry needle to close this last stitch.

Problem: Article: Tuck the sleeves inside the shirt first, so that you have nice, curved edges for the arm holes. Place the shirt on top of the craft foam. Trace around the shirt, including the arm holes, stopping a few inches below each arm pit. This will be the base for your chest plate.  If you can't find craft foam, thin, flexible cardboard may also work. Make sure it's white. Stay on the safe side, and add a few extra inches to the top of the shoulders. Test it over your own chest. The top edges should wrap over your own shoulders. The bottom edge should extend a few inches past your armpit. Don't worry about it wrapping all the way around your torso. Make sure that the breast cups are touching each other in the middle (this forms the cleavage). The top edges of the breast cups should be just below the arm pit of the chest plate. The bottom edges will likely hang over the bottom edge of the chest plate. The thinner part of the breasts should be pointing upwards. The thicker, fuller part should be pointing downwards. Once the glue dries, flip the chest plate over. Trim off the excess chest plate until you can see the entire inside of each breast cup again. This will make the breasts more comfortable to wear, especially if you are a girl.
Summary:
Trace the upper part of a t-shirt onto a sheet of white craft foam. Cut the chest plate out. Glue the breast cups to the bottom of your chest plate. Trim off the excess chest plate behind the breast cups.
