Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a pediatric behavioral therapist for your child. Go through a parental behavior management program with a therapist. Enroll your child in therapeutic summer camps, activities, and sports. Talk to your child's teachers about options during school hours. Join a support group if you’re having trouble coping with your emotions.

Answer: A good therapist can make a big difference in your child's life and help them manage their condition. Initial appointments may include at least 1 parent, since the therapist will want to learn about the child’s structure and routines. From there, you might continue seeing the therapist as a family or allow the therapist to work with your child one-on-one.  Experts recommend that children ages 2-5 go through behavioral therapy before resorting to any other type of treatment.  One-on-one therapy may include talking, playing, and other activities that help your child express feelings and thoughts in a constructive way. Family therapy can be helpful for older children with disruptive behaviors. Positive communication and conflict resolution techniques are usually the focus. A combination of cognitive and behavioral therapies might be helpful for ADHD children with anxiety and depression. It’s important for you to arm yourself with the skills and tools required to help your child. This therapy focuses on effective discipline strategies, like using rewards and consequences in a constructive way. The goal is to learn about ways to manage your child’s negative behaviors and increase positive behaviors. Behavioral parent training usually lasts for 8 to 12 sessions.  Behavioral management training is recommended for parents who have children with ADHD regardless of the child's age. Training can help you significantly whether your child is a toddler or a teenager!  A therapist can also help you create a structured routine for your child. They are also qualified to help you address the difficult emotions associated with parenting an ADHD child. Signing your child up for social activities like scouting, sports teams, and summer camps can be fun and also help them learn to socialize, which is a particular problem for kids with ADHD. Ask your child what they’re interested in and send them off to a summer camp or community program where they can learn and interact with other kids. You can also consider activities that you can do together, like volunteering at a food bank or soup kitchen. When your child is at school, you can't be there to make sure they're following the routine. Consider getting your child evaluated for special education and inquire about an individualized education plan (IEP). If your child qualifies for special assistance, you can work with school staff to create a routine and provide assistance tailored to your child's unique issues.  It's important that teachers understand your child's condition, so be sure to communicate with them openly and honestly. Ask for their assistance in providing a productive routine at school. For example, if your 11-year-old child's school breaks lunch into a few separate sessions, request that your child attend the lunch period that's most consistent with the timing of their home routine. Parenting a child with ADHD can be difficult! It’s easy to get stressed out and you may wonder if you are somehow at fault for your child’s condition. Talking to other parents who are in similar situations can be helpful. Check out local support groups and try attending a few meetings.  It is absolutely not your fault or a result of bad parenting if your child has ADHD. ADDitude Magazine is a free online resource you can turn to for more suggestions: http://www.additudemag.com.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Walk away. Tell someone so the bully will stop. Ask the bully to stop if you feel safe doing so. Stay calm

Answer: If the situation seems threatening or dangerous, it's best to get away from the bully. Even if it is not a dangerous situation, remember that you don’t have to listen to someone saying mean things to you. The best thing to do might be to calmly walk away from the person. This will send the message that you won’t put up with this kind of treatment. Try to walk towards other people, such as towards a teacher or someone else who will not put up with bullying. It's important to report bullying right away so that someone in authority can put a stop to it. By telling someone that you are being bullied, you will be standing up for yourself and showing the bullies that you will not put up with their abuse.   Find a teacher, parent, school counselor, or someone else who can help you and immediately tell them what the bully has been saying or doing to you. Try saying something like, “Joyce is bullying me. She keeps making fun of my weight and she will not stop. I have asked her to stop, but she is still doing it. I think I need some help to make it stop.” You can also write a note to explain what is happening. Deliver the note to your teacher, school counselor, or principal. Tell someone else if the first person you tell does not do anything about the bully. Don’t accept that you will have to put up with the bullying. If you don’t feel physically threatened, using direct, assertive communication and body language is a good way to address a bully. If a bully continues to harass you even after you have walked away, calmly let them know that you will not put up with the behavior. Turn and face the bully and tell them to stop.  Don’t try to confront the bully if you feel like doing so might put you in danger. To use assertive body language, stand up tall and face the bully. Look the bully in the eye when you are speaking to them. Don’t look down and don’t try to make yourself smaller, such as by folding your arms or bringing your knees in close to your body. Pull yourself up to your full height, keep your arms at your sides, and your feet about shoulder width apart. Keep your request short and direct. Try saying something like, “Stop it, Jennifer,” or, “Cut it out, Craig.” As you say this, make sure that you look the bully directly in the eye and speak in a calm, clear voice. Don’t compliment or insult the bully. If you say nice things to a bully after they have been insulting you, putting you down, or physically threatening you, then this will only increase their sense of power.  Calling the bully names may enrage them and increase their efforts to hurt you. . It is the bully’s goal to get an emotional response out of you, so do your best to keep calm and avoid showing them how you feel. Try your best not to show that you are angry, sad, or frightened. The bully may feed off of these emotions and increase their efforts.   Take a few deep breaths and think about something that makes you happy, such as getting a good grade on a test, playing with your dog, or something fun that you are planning to do with your family over the weekend. Doing this may help you to take a step back from the situation and avoid reacting to your emotions. Make sure that you keep your eyes open and maintain eye contact with the bully as you do this. Respond to the bully in a calm way. For example, you might say, "Jack, I know you think you're funny, but you're not. Stop." Or, "Stop now or I'm asking the teacher to move you away from me." Be sure to talk about how the bully made you feel with someone else later on. Talk with your parents, a school counselor, or a teacher.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try laser hair removal treatments to reduce face and body hair. Work with a plastic surgeon to change your facial structure. Talk to your doctor about using hormone treatments. Look into gender reassignment surgery.

Answer:
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective methods for permanently thinning and reducing face and body hair. Make an appointment with a dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon to get a consultation and find out if this procedure will work for you.  Laser hair removal works better for some people than others. It's most effective for removing relatively coarse, dark hair. Some of your hair will likely regrow after a treatment, so you will probably need to return for multiple maintenance treatments in order to get the best results. Follow your dermatologist's home care instructions carefully. For example, they will probably advise you to protect the treated area from the sun until it has time to heal in order to avoid scarring and discoloration. If you want to permanently alter your appearance to look more feminine, there are surgical options available. Look for a reputable plastic surgeon who specializes in facial feminization surgery (FFS). Your doctor may be able to recommend someone who can help. Depending on the natural structure of your face, FFS may involve a variety of different procedures. Some common ones include lowering of the hairline, reduction of the chin and jaw, reshaping of the forehead, and reduction of the Adam's apple. If you're interested in transitioning from male to female, using hormone replacement therapy is a common approach to creating a more feminine physical appearance. You'll need to work closely with your doctor and therapist and carefully weigh the risks and benefits of starting this treatment.  Taking female hormones won't change your voice, but it will change your body and make you appear more feminine. Some changes you can expect include a more feminine distribution of body fat (e.g., your hips and breasts will become larger), a reduction of facial and body hair, and a loss of muscle mass. It may take several months for you to notice any significant changes. Another treatment option is to undergo gender reassignment surgery. This can involve getting implants to enhance your breasts (“top surgery”), having your genitals reconstructed (“bottom surgery”), or both.  Gender reassignment surgery may be covered by your insurance, especially if you have a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Check your plan carefully to find out which services are covered and which are not.  Talk to your doctor or surgeon about what to expect during and after your surgery. Be sure to carefully follow their instructions for both preparation and aftercare.
