Q: Children who are sexually abused often display mistrust with everyone and everything. This is because the person abusing them is generally someone they trusted, and their trust was betrayed. They start viewing everybody with suspicion and make it a point to double check everything in their environment to ensure that there are no perpetrators of this abuse around and that their surroundings and environment are all foolproof. Pay particular attention if the child suddenly displays fear or high anxiety. If they are startled by sudden movements, loud noises, or someone touching them, there is a possibility that they have been sexually abused. Children who are sexually abused may have bruises in odd places. They may also have trouble walking or sitting. In some cases, these children will also avoid any sort of physical activity. If you notice these signs, talk to someone you can trust about the problem as these are signs that the child is being abused. The child may find it difficult to form close bonds and relationships with any of their peers. This inability to form relationships is caused by the fact that someone they trusted abused their trust. To protect themselves, the child may deliberately stay away from others in an attempt to avoid being exploited or taken advantage of. If you notice a child suddenly trying to avoid a particular person, ask the child about it. They might lose all interest in studies and those activities which they were previously actively involved in. They might find it difficult to focus and concentrate on anything. They may seem to be constantly lost in their own thoughts. Often, when a child is sexually abused, they don’t understand what is happening to them and think that the pain is their fault. As a result, they will begin to blame themselves and start to isolate themselves from others because they are afraid others may discover their secret and blame them. Another sign of sexual abuse is a child refusing to wear just one layer of clothing. Instead, they may insist on wearing three shirts. They may also refuse to change in front of anyone--even a parent who is not abusive. You should also be concerned if a child shows a fear of going to a particular place. If you are a parent and you notice that your child seems terrified to go back to a certain daycare, you may have cause to worry. Similarly, if you are a daycare worker and you notice that a child seems scared to go with their parent, you should be concerned.
A: Notice if the child suddenly becomes very suspicious of everyone. Look for any bruising or other physical evidence. Notice if a child has a hard time socializing. Pay attention if the child suddenly becomes disinterested in everything. Note if the child starts showing signs of guilt. Notice if a child insists on wearing many layers of clothing.

Q: Digging can be made very difficult if you're having to dig in rainy weather. If your hole is large enough, rain will eventually pool up at the bottom of your hole, which can pose its own challenges depending on the type and depth of hole you're going for. Moreover, it goes without saying that yard work is more enjoyable when it's done in reasonably good weather. Waiting for a good day is ultimately optional but it will have a major effect on the way you experience the work. Frozen soil is very difficult to work with, so it's best to dig in months without extreme weather. Instead of going straight in with a shovel, you will save time and effort if you prep the area first with a mattock. A mattock is specifically designed to pierce topsoil and rip out roots. For the most part, you'll find the most resistance to your digging at the top. Once you break through the surface level, you can switch to a shovel and let the grunt work commence.  A good steel digging bar with a point in one end and flat or pry point on other end works well also. Especially if you must dig deeper than 6" to 8", which a Mattock cannot do. If you don't have a mattock, using a spade to tear up the sod will suffice as well. Once you've broken the topsoil, it comes to the grunt phase of getting the soil out of the hole. This may be a short step, or quite intensive, all depending on how big you want the hole to be. While you are shovelling, it's a good idea to shovel the perimeter first, and shovel inwards from there. That way, you'll have a set perimeter, and won't be making the hole any bigger than you need to.  Wear heavy boots when shoveling dirt. Step firmly and straight down on the shovel. Rock and wiggle the shovel side to side and forward to back to loosen the dirt and help the shovel go in. As with depth, it is better to err on a the side of a hole being too big than too small. It's important to keep a tidy workspace in most situations, and digging a hole is no different. Having your disposal pile next to the hole is preferable, as it minimizes the turnover time between shovelling loads of soil. Just make sure it's not so close that it will fall back in the hole. If the project is big enough, it's a good idea to offload the shovel loads directly into a wheelbarrow. Once the wheelbarrow is full, you can offload it somewhere further away and bring it back for more. Keep a 25-foot tape measurer handy while digging, or mark your desired depth on a stake you can use to measure the depth of the hole. Only measure the hole once you have cleaned out all the dirt.
A: Wait for a dry day, if possible. Loosen the dirt with a mattock. Shovel out the soil from the outside, moving inwards. Keep your disposed soil in one place. Measure the depth of the hole.

Q: Professional fishing spears are sold at most sporting goods stores. Find the straightest branch you can and carve the tip to a sharp point with a knife if you have to make a fishing spear.  Green willow wood works best if you have to carve a spear, but any strong, straight branch will work. Try to find a branch with 2-3 prongs at the tip you can carve into a trident to snag fish more easily. If you buy a professional spear, you can even get one with a launching mechanism, like a speargun or a bow with fishing arrows. This method only works for catching large fish. It requires a lot of skill and patience. Stand somewhere where any light won’t project your shadow onto the water. Your shadow will scare away fish and make it hard to spear any.   Pick a spot near shallow water where you will be able to easily spot fish as they pass by. You can also spear fish at night with a flashlight or headlamp. Aim for the base of the head where it connects with the body to kill the fish immediately. Pull the spear back to you with the fish hooked on the end once you have speared one. This will take a lot of practice and patience. You will also need to learn to adjust your aim because water refracts light and causes the fish to appear in a different location than that which they are actually in. You need to aim lower than you think you do, so shoot just under where it looks like the fish is.
A:
Buy a fishing spear or carve one out of a branch. Find a place on the shore to hide your silhouette from passing fish. Jab your spear at the fish as they swim by.
