Article: Help the child get some exercise by going for a walk, riding bikes, or going to a park. All kids get built-up energy that needs an outlet, and it may be particularly the case for a hyperactive child. Getting fresh air and a change of scenery can be really useful in redirecting a child’s disposition. Find a sport that the child enjoys doing. Do not pressure them to do a sport they don’t like, as this can increase their hyperactivity and lack of focus. Give your child a chance to take a breath and relax by reading a book with them or singing a soft song. Giving them a warm bath is also a good idea. Add lavender essential oils to the bath to create a calming scent. Nature can have a calming effect on people, even if it’s just spending time in the yard or garden. Taking a walk or hike in a forest can also be very beneficial, as the child will get fresh air, exercise, and a chance to clear their heads. If there is an activity that seems to trigger your child’s hyperactivity, such as something that is noisy, frustrating, too chaotic, and so on, redirect their attention to another activity. This can help refocus their attention. Meditating is, for any age, a good way to calm the mind and body.  When children are unable to handle thinking about stressful situations, you can help them visualize how they can respond to those situations. This can help calm them down. Search online for examples of these, or find a book at your local library on meditation and guided imagery for children. For example, have the child sit and close their eyes. Ask them to imagine a calm space, like a beach or a forest. Have them pay attention to the sounds that they hear, the wind they feel on their face, and the details they see around them. Using a regular imagined calming space can be helpful. Teach your child how to take deep breaths to relax. Take a deep breath in through the nose and slowly breathe out through the mouth. Focus on different parts of the body while taking these deep breaths.  For example, have your child think about their legs while breathing deeply and rhythmically. Have them tighten up their leg muscles when they inhale, and relax those muscles with every exhale. Go through different parts of the body until the entire body is relaxed. Have your child imagine a warm color or light that surrounds them as they breathe. Imagine this color or light wraps them up to calm them down. Calming meditative practices like yoga and tai chi are not just good for adults. They help kids get centered and find balance in their lives. Find a DVD at your local library that guides kids through yoga or tai chi. Similarly, search online for one. If the child is old enough to write, give them a notebook or journal to write their feelings in. They can write a page or two every day, jotting down their thoughts, problems and concerns. They can either keep the page intact or crumple it up and throw it away. Do not read your child’s journal. They should feel that they can be totally honest in their journal, and respecting their privacy will help them feel safe enough to write what is really on their mind.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Give your daughter positive encouragement when she tidies up her own room. If you notice things accumulating, try addressing it with humor rather than reprimand. Teens tend to react better to humor than strict approaches because of the stubbornness that comes with adolescence. Try a quip like, “Were you planning on getting back into the organizing groove soon, or should I get out my galoshes?” Often teenagers don’t understand how to keep their room clean and organized. Show her how to achieve this by doing one manageable task at a time. For example, Tuesdays can be vacuuming day, and on Thursdays she can make sure that all of her dirty laundry is in the hamper. Consider letting her choose which day she does specific chores. If you’re met with resistance, you can then remind her, “You chose Tuesdays for vacuuming; it’s important to stick to your word.” Set days periodically where you sit down together and go through items that are no longer needed. This time can refresh the good feelings you two shared organizing the room together, and reinforce the importance of upkeep. Use several bins to designate what should be done with each item.  For example, items in good condition that are no longer wanted can be given to charity or passed on to a younger sibling. Broken or worn out items can be trashed. Seasonal items can be moved elsewhere for storage.  Try asking, “Do you really use this item, or is it just taking up space?”

SUMMARY: Praise her accomplishments and avoid being harsh. Divide cleaning into small tasks. Have sorting days.

Choose a medicine for wart removal that contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid in high concentrations will cause the wart to die. You can find salicylic acid wart removal medications in the foot care section of a drug or grocery store. Apply the medication directly to the wart before you cover it with duct tape. Try to avoid getting the medication on the skin around it. The medicine will cause the skin to die and turn white.  Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for how to use the medicine. This is optional, but it might help to make the duct tape therapy go faster. Using duct tape alone to get rid of the wart may take up to 8 weeks.
