INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are using a smartphone, there are programs that let you record effortlessly whenever you have a phone conversation. Although not everyone with a cell phone is using a smartphone, this is by far the easiest option for those who can do it.  Browse the app store for your phone's operating system. Search for call recorders. Most of them are free or very cheap. Double check what you're getting. Read over the developer's description for the app to be sure it's what you want. Most call recorders only work with certain phones or brands; some only work with the speakerphone on. Find one that suits you. Make sure the app is properly working by doing a test phone-call with a friend. If the app seems to work, but your recording quality is low, snoop around on the Internet for solutions. There are often workarounds for such things.

SUMMARY: Use a software program to record your conversations. Tap the “Install” or “Purchase” button to download and install the app. Follow the app's instructions to record your calls.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Let the child choose a meal to eat. Offer options that you can make from selected foods and let him choose what he wants to eat or how to prepare the food you've chosen. Set limits on time and offer only two choices. Show your toddler pictures of meal time so they understand what their options are. Let your child help with choosing the food in the grocery store. This can be a good opportunity to find out exactly what your toddler likes and to teach them the names of different foods. Involve your toddler in the preparation of food. Give your child an apron and chef hat and call them your assistant. Let them hand you the food you need to wash or chop, allow them to mix ingredients or give them a piece of dough to knead. Children prefer to eat food that they created themselves. If you have the means, let your child help you to grow vegetables in your garden. Watering together and picking the fruits, vegetables, and herbs together will help to get the child more invested in the food they are eating before you even begin to prepare it. Let your toddler put the plates and cutlery on the table. Provide the child with his own special cutlery, in a unique color or shape, or adorned with the child's favorite cartoon character. Allowing the child to pick flowers for a centerpiece may also be helpful in making the meal feel “special”, which in turn will make your toddler feel more invested in the meal.

SUMMARY: Let your child pick out what's for dinner. Bring your child shopping with you. Let your child help in the kitchen. Grow your own vegetables. Have your child set the table.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a sharp knife to do this. This will make the chestnuts roast faster, allowing the steam to escape from the chestnuts. You can also just pierce each chestnut several times with a fork. You can also just place them right on the grill, with the cut side facing up. Sprinkle them lightly with water to help them roast. Roast them until they're tender and the shell comes off easily. While they're roasting, use a spoon or spatula to move them around every few minutes so they don't burn. When they're done roasting, remove them from the oven. Wait 2-3 minutes for the chestnuts to cool off and then wrap them in a towel and squeeze them until the skin is crushed. Leave them in the towel for another five minutes. Do this while they're still warm to make the process easier. Take out the inner skin along with the shell. If any nuts are hard to peel, you can heat them briefly for a few more minutes until they're ready. Enjoy these nuts on their own while they're nice and hot.

SUMMARY: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Cut an "X" shape into the flat side of each chestnut. Place the chestnuts on a baking sheet. Roast the chestnuts for 15-20 minutes. Crush their skins. Peel the nuts. Serve.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The perineum is the area between your vagina and your anus. During childbirth, this area can suffer some injury, so it is important to make sure that it is clean and does not become infected. If it becomes infected, the infection may move up into your body and change the color of your discharge. Cleaning your perineum will also help to make passing your discharge as comfortable as possible. To clean:  Wash your perineum with unscented, gentle soap and warm water. Scented soaps can contain chemicals that can lead to infection. Use clean wipes, like baby wipes, to wash, rather than a washcloth (this is simply for cleaning purposes—if you don’t have baby wipes, you will just have to wash the washcloth after you use it). Clean the labia first. Using separate wipes, wipe the area from least contaminated (pubis/vagina) to the most contaminated (anus). This is to prevent transmission of microorganisms from one area to the other. If you plan on breastfeeding your child, start doing so as soon as possible. When you breastfeed your baby, your body is prompted to release oxytocin, a natural chemical that helps your uterus to contract fully. Oxytocin is also used to control the intensity of your discharge. If you do not plan to breastfeed your child, you can get oxytocin supplements (this is covered in Step 1 of Method 4). As discussed in the step about cleaning your perineum, you should avoid scented soaps while you are still producing discharge. Scented soaps can contain chemicals that can alter the pH levels in your vagina, making you more susceptible to infection. The same goes for douching. It is best to avoid putting anything in your vagina, be it a douche or a tampon, while you are dealing with discharge. Putting anything foreign in your vagina can introduce bacteria that could lead to an infection. After you deliver your baby, your bladder becomes less sensitive for a period of time after childbirth. You might not notice that the bladder is full, which makes it harder for your bladder to contract. When you bladder is full, your uterus also has a harder time contracting, meaning that your discharge could be heavier than it should be. To make sure that your bladder remains as empty as possible, go to the bathroom and urinate as frequently as you can. You have just given birth to a living, breathing human being—you should take some time to rest. Resting helps your body to recover and repair itself from the crazy thing it has just gone through. When you avoid overworking yourself, your uterus also has an easier time contracting, which will make your discharge lighter and easier to manage. Try to drink as much water as you need to stay hydrated; doctors generally recommend between 8 and 12 glasses a day. Water helps to flush out substances like discharge. Being hydrated also helps your body combat any infections that might be trying to take root in your body. If you get tired of water, add some fruit juice to it to give it some flavor. When you wear tight underwear that does not let your skin breathe, you increase the chances that you will develop an infection. This is particularly true when you are dealing with discharge. Because of this, it is important to wear loose underwear that let’s your skin breathe. Cotton is a good fabric to go with when looking for breathable underwear. The fabric is light and does not stick to your skin. It also absorbs sweat, which reduces the chances that you will develop a fungal infection.

SUMMARY:
Clean your perineum often. Begin breastfeeding as soon as possible to increase your oxytocin levels. Avoid using scented soaps or douching. Do not ‘hold’ your urine—go to the bathroom frequently. Rest as much as possible to help your body recover. Stay hydrated. Wear loose, light underwear.
