Summarize the following:
Your first priority should be to create rules around the behaviors that are causing the most disruption or have potential risk for harm. If you are the main caregiver for the child, you can develop the rules on your own. If your child spends a great deal of time with another caregiver (another parent, grandparent, or paid caregiver), then work with that person on the rules.  Make sure that the rules you develop are clear and simple. For example, for a child who has trouble with physical aggression, the rule could simply be worded “no hitting.” Children need help replacing an undesirable behavior with something new that will help them learn to control themselves. Depending on what behaviors you are working on, you can try one or more different alternatives.  Stop, think, choose. Stop the current activity, reflect on what you are thinking, and then consider consequences for yourself and others before you choose your next action. Personal time-out. Leave the room and take a few minutes to calm down before you return to the situation. Talk about how you feel. Tell a person you trust about how you are feeling by naming the feelings you are having and how the feelings are affecting you. Deep breaths. Take several deep breaths to help you if you are overwhelmed by feelings. Put meaningful rewards in place for when the child follows the rules. The consequences you choose should be minor and should not involve spanking or hitting the child. Consequences should also be age-appropriate.  Positive reinforcement of good behavior is very powerful. Meaningful rewards don’t need to be expensive toys or outings. Spending time with a child playing a game she enjoys might be a very inspiring reward for a child. And praise from you is a very meaningful reward for every child. When it comes to consequences, keep them minor. For older children, docking allowance or assigning an additional chore might be effective. For younger children, a brief time-out (no more than one minute for each year of the child’s age) would be more appropriate. You do not want the child to have any confusion about what the rules mean or what “counts” as breaking the rules. Focus on what you want the child to do instead of the bad behavior.  For example, tell your child that instead of hitting someone, you would like him to come to see you and tell you about feeling angry. Try role-playing with your child using “real-life” situations you have the child become upset and exhibit the bad behavior. One way to help children understand how to behave is to show them by example. If you and your child have agreed that the best way to avoid hitting is to take a few minutes alone to calm down, then you can try doing this yourself in front of your child. If your child breaks a rule, always use the consequence, and move to the consequence right away. If you wait until later or only enforce the rule sometimes, you are much less likely to see a behavioral change in your child. Similarly, when children follow the rules by using the replacement behavior you have worked on together, you should make sure to reward and praise them immediately. Parents who do not enforce the rules consistently and quickly tend not to see change in their child. If your child spends weekends with another parent or after-schools with a caregiver, then communicate with that person about the system you have created with the child. Consistency across settings will help your child be more successful.

summary: Create a set of family rules. Give your child alternatives to bad behavior. Define meaningful rewards and consequences. Take the time you and your child need to discuss the rules together. Model the behaviors you want to see in your child. Consistently enforce the rules right away. Communicate with all caregivers about the rules.

Humans are supposed to have earwax — it has the important job of protecting our ears from bacteria and fungus. It’s rare to have so much earwax that it has to be removed; however, if you have ear pain, a feeling of fullness or pressure in your ear, or hearing loss, see your doctor to make sure that the problem is excessive earwax and not something else.  Earwax removal is most safely done by a healthcare professional.  Using peroxide can cause ear damage if your ear problem isn’t due to excess earwax. If your doctor okays it, you can proceed to using peroxide at home. Ask for advice on selecting and using at-home ear cleaning products. Pharmacies and drug stores often sell ready-made earwax-removal kits that can be easy to use at home. Often, these kits contain earwax-softener like Debrox or Murine — products that contain a mild form of peroxide. The kits may also include bulb syringes or other tools you might need. If you want to use products you already have at home, you can. The cleaning process should take about 30 – 45 minutes. Gather and prepare the following materials before you start to clean your ears:  An oil to soften the earwax, such as mineral oil, baby oil, olive oil, or glycerin Hydrogen peroxide, or a carbamide peroxide solution available at most drug stores The peroxide must be diluted — make sure you get peroxide that is 3% or lower in strength.  Two medium-sized bowls An eyedropper A rubber bulb syringe A clean towel Putting cold fluids in your ear can be uncomfortable, so warm up the oil and peroxide before using them. Fill two bowls with hot water. Place the bottle of peroxide in one, and the bottle of oil in the other. Let them sit for a few minutes to warm. You could also put the oil and peroxide into two smaller bowls and place those in the hot water. Test the temperature of the oil and peroxide on the skin of your hand before putting it into your ear. It should be warm, not hot.
summary: See your doctor before trying to clean your ears at home. Consider purchasing an earwax-removal kit. Gather your materials. Warm the oil and peroxide.
