Problem: Article: Don’t make the switch to water into a top-down directive, as if it is some sort of punishment.  Help your kids feel like they are actively involved in the process, and give them the opportunity to make (guided) choices and do things for themselves.  If you can make drinking more water seem like something a “big kid” or “grown up” would choose to do, you may be well on your way to achieving your goal.  Remind them when it’s time for a drink, but let them go to the fridge or fill up their cups—as far as spills go, water is an easy clean-up! Let them pick out a special cup just for them—with princesses, superheroes, or a favorite sports team logo or character—on the condition that it can only be filled with water. From height charts to merit badge collections, growing kids like to be able to keep track of their progress.  Try keeping a weekly chart on the fridge and check off each time your child finishes off a glass of water.  Use colorful stickers or markers if that helps.  Compare weekly progress and set goals to beat. If you have multiple kids in the house, you may want to keep color-coded water bottles in the fridge, to make it easier for you (and them) to keep track of their daily progress.  Kids being as they are, things will probably turn into a (literally) healthy competition. If you’ve gotten your kids involved in the process, and found ways to track their progress, offering rewards as an incentive is practically the natural next step.  If you’re charting the progress of multiple kids, for instance, even a small weekly prize for the “winner” can provide ample motivation, especially once their competitive juices are flowing. Offering a soda as a reward may seem counterintuitive or like your best bet, depending upon your perspective and circumstances.  Ideally, make the reward a healthy one, like a trip to the local pool or skating rink, or a half-hour of family play-time in the yard where the winner gets to pick the games. Inadequate water consumption is serious business, but that doesn’t mean getting kids to drink more water needs to be.  You may not naturally associate “drinking water” with “fun,” but kids can turn practically anything into a game, especially with your help.  For instance, give each kid a long, windy, silly straw and see who can suck up their cup of water first.  Or, put a piece of a mystery fruit or vegetable (watermelon, cucumber, peach, etc.) in an opaque cup of water and let the kid guess the contents based on taste.  Even better, have the child eat the mystery fruit or veggie after finishing off the water.  For that matter, who says you can’t draw from your college experience (or ones you’ve seen on TV) and adapt a game of “beer pong”?  Replace beer with water and chugging with sipping, and you’ll have yourself a family-friendly game of “water pong.”
Summary: Get them involved. Keep track with them. Offer rewards. Play games.

Problem: Article: Choose a flat surface, such as a table, bed, or floor, and lay the sweater out with the front facing up. Smooth out the surface of the sweater and spread the sleeves out to the sides. This first fold brings the outer right edge of the sweater to the middle of the sweater. Keep the right sleeve extended straight out and lay it across the left arm so it's almost perpendicular. Fold the sleeve back inwardly just above the elbow, forming a triangle shape. Line the cuff up at the bottom of the sweater with the initial right-side fold. Fold in the left side and the left arm just like you did with the right, forming another triangle with the sleeve and a straight line along the left side. Once you’re finished, the whole sweater will look like 1 long rectangle. This creates a thick rectangle shape that can stand up on its own. Using this method will help keep your long-sleeved sweaters neat and perfectly folded. Once you're finished, store your folded sweaters in drawers standing up. Line them up in a row so you can easily see each piece of clothing.
Summary: Lay the sweater out in front of you, faceup, with the sleeves spread out. Fold the right side of the sweater over with the sleeve straight out. Fold the right sleeve back and down so it lines up with the first fold. Repeat the process on the left side to form a rectangle. Bring the bottom to the top to fold the sweater in half, then in half again.

Problem: Article: To remove the feather edge completely, repeat the same honing process with a finer whetstone, or strop it away from the edge with a strap of leather. A perfectly sharpened edge will not reflect any light, but a couple small nicks are not a big deal.  Most whetstones are two-sided, with a coarse and a fine side. Examples with a finger groove in the middle are safer. Repeat the honing (at least with the coarse stone) each time you're about to use the axe.
Summary:
Sharpen with a fine whetstone or a leather strop (optional).
