Problem: Article: If a child is being disrespectful, you should acknowledge the behavior right away. Ignoring the behavior will encourage them to continue until they get your attention.  For example, if they're interrupting you while you're on the phone, you could say: "Sweetie, I know you're trying to get my attention, but I'm busy right now." This shows them that you see them and aren't ignoring them. You could even add: "...so you'll have to wait until I'm done." This will tell them what to do in the meantime and promises them that you won't forget about them. If you tell your child to stop with no explanation, they may not see a reason to stop. Once you have identified what your child is doing, explain to them why their behavior is wrong or disrespectful. This will help your child understand the necessity of good manners.  Continuing the phone example: if they keep interrupting, say something like, "I'm on the phone. It's not nice to interrupt me while I'm talking to someone else as I'm unable to give them my full attention." You can also suggest an alternative behavior. For example, say something like, "Can you wait for a pause in the conversation if you really need something?" If you try to talk rationally with disrespectful children, and they still continue to misbehave, you need to explain the consequences of their actions. Then, if they continue to disrespect you, make sure you carry out the consequences.  Always follow-through on the consequences. If you don't, your child won't take you seriously next time and continue to misbehave. Make sure you tell them a consequence that can be definitely carried through. Think about it carefully and choose your words wisely. For the most impact, choose consequences that are directly related to the behavior in your child you want to change. If you have to discipline a child, make sure you do so appropriately. Not all forms of punishment work and punishment types depends on the age of the child and the severity of his or her behavior. For example:  Avoid physical punishment, like spanking, which can be frightening to a young child. Isolation is another form of punishment that should be avoided since it doesn't let them come to terms with their behavior. Ideally, punishment should teach children how to connect, communicate, and work through negative behaviors. Think less in terms of discipline and more in terms of consequences. Taking away a favorite toy may not teach a child why interrupting your conversation is wrong, but having them dry dishes will show them the value of time.
Summary: Point out the behavior right away. Give the child a reason. Explain the consequences. Discipline appropriately.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before trying any type of removal, it's important to cleanse the area where the thorn entered your skin. Use a gentle soap and wash the area with warm water before you begin the removal process.  Don’t scrub the area, or you could push it in deeper. Pat the area dry with a clean cloth. It might be tempted to push and prod the area around the thorn to get it to come out. However, you may end up pushing it in further or breaking it into pieces, leaving you with a more difficult problem on your hands. Leave it alone and try better methods for getting it out. Check out the angle and depth of the thorn to figure out how to remove it. Different methods are better for removing thorns at different angles and depths. See how close it is to the surface and whether a layer of skin has grown over it. You may need to use a magnifying glass for a closer look.  If the end is poking out, you might be able to remove it with tweezers or tape. If it’s deeply embedded, drawing it out will be required. If it's covered by new skin, you may need to use a small needle or razor, which will need to be sterilized first. If the thorn has been in your skin for a few days and you see signs of infection, see a doctor to get it removed. It's better not to attempt getting it out yourself since you could further injure yourself. A doctor will be able to safely remove the thorn and dress the wound to cure the infection.  If it’s leaking pus or blood, go to the doctor. If it’s itchy, red and swollen, go to the doctor.
Summary:
Cleanse with soap and water. Do not try to squeeze it out. Inspect it closely. Know when to see a doctor.
