Q: When you believe that your child is ready and motivated to stop wetting the bed, a bedwetting alarm may offer the most effective solution. The basis for the alarm is to arouse the child immediately upon wetting, prompting him or her to rise and finish in the toilet. When this happens repeatedly, the child is conditioned to awake when his or her bladder is fullbefore any bedwetting occurs. The pad alarm is positioned on the bed beneath the child; this type of alarm is not attached to your child's undergarments. The pad alarm may work very well if your child remains in one place while asleep, otherwise this type of alarm may not be effective. Some alarms require 2 steps to shut off, making it more difficult to turn it off without arousing. Wearable alarms may be wireless, attached to the underwear, or even built in the underwear. Many of the alarm units are attached to the bed shirt to make it harder to ignore. That being said, some kids find the wearable systems to be uncomfortable, in which case, there may be poor cooperation on your child's part. Ultimately, wearable alarms have evolved to solve the problem of bedwetters missing the pad-style alarms. In choosing between pad and wearable alarms, take into account your child's temperament, motivation, distance from your bedroom, and ease of arousal. The same principle applies for mattress products as well. All of these devices work by detecting moisture. When this occurs, an alarm or warning vibration is triggered. When deciding what to purchase, remember that a vibrating signal will not alert the parents, although alarm and vibration together may be useful. The volume of some alarms is adjustable. This may be useful for particularly sound sleepers or to provide a sufficiently loud signal that you can hear. Some of the alarm units can sit by the bedside, making them more easily heard. Also, some products offer, at additional cost, a remote unit that can be located by the parents' bedside if they need to be awakened as well. A parent plays an important role in alarm training. If the child does not quickly arouse and go to the bathroom, the parent must promptly awaken the child. Eventually, most kids with uncomplicated bedwetting will start responding on their own. Many children who wet the bed are described as sound sleepers, and indeed many are. This often raises concerns from parents that their child will not awaken when the alarm is triggered. In fact, at the beginning of alarm treatment, this is the rule, not the exception. It is quite interesting that a significant portion of children who stop wetting the bed after using the alarm do so by sleeping through the night dry rather than needing to awaken and go to the bathroom. Most of the causes of daytime wetting have one thing in common: timing. The strategy of timed voiding is to get children with urinary urgency and incontinence to empty their bladders on a strict schedule that gets them to the bathroom before they have the urge to go. This also helps them to understand the feeling of a full bladder before wetness occurs. In addition, there are daytime alarms that attach to the underwear during the day to sense wetness and alarm similar to a nighttime alarm. To optimize bladder training, a regular alert is very useful. At home, this can occur using an alarm clock or smart phone that can be set to multiple times. In school and while at play, consider an alarm watch that can be set to alert as often as is recommended by your doctor. Aim for 2 hour intervals if your child can manage this without the urge to urinate. You will need to alert your child's teacher to the plan so that your child is allowed to use the bathroom when the alarm goes off. Some children feel embarrassed when the alarm goes off frequently during the school day followed immediately by going to the bathroom. This may be addressed by using an alert watch that has the option to vibrate rather than give an audible signal.
A: Try a bedwetting pad alarm. Try a wearable alarm. Consider how the alarm sounds. Know that with nighttime alarms, you may need to help. Try a daytime alarm, too.

Q: You can find this information by looking for art directors' names on the mastheads of magazines available at either your local library or bookstore, consulting reference books such as The Artist's and Graphic Designer's Market or the Thomas Register, or through web sites such as the Graphic Artist's Guild. You should also develop the habit of looking at such things as posters, murals, restaurant menus, comic books and other items that you work might be suitable for, depending on the kind of illustration work you do. Your list should focus on primarily on the subjects you most like to draw. For example, if you prefer to draw animals, your list should include magazines about animals and magazines for children, and other publications likely to use such drawings. If you have a large list, break your list down into groups of 5 or 10. Target your samples to the publications or employers you've identified as the most likely to need your kind of work. Choose one particular style of rendering your subject matter and stick to that; don't send both a car https://www.creativebloq.com/advice/how-to-promote-your-illustration-businesstoonish lion and a realistic lion to the same publication. (You can of course send one style to one publication and the other to another, provided you send each publication a style appropriate to its needs.)
A: Look for employers who use work like yours. Compile a list of your best prospects. Send out samples.

Q: Look for a hot water bottle at your local drugstore. Most hot water bottles are made with a liquid that can be heated in a microwave. You can also use a more traditional hot water bottle that uses boiled water. Simply boil water on the stove and pour it into the hot water bottle. Place the hot water bottle under your sheets or a blanket, by your feet. It should stay warm all night long, warming your toes and your body. By morning, it will cool to a tepid temperature. Wool is a great material for insulation and retaining warmth. Your feet are often the first body part that starts to feel cold and due to poor circulation, you may have a hard time warming them up with just a blanket. Get several pairs of high wool socks and keep them by your bed. You may reach for them in the night, in the event you can't get warm. You may also want to invest in house slippers to keep your feet warm throughout the day. Look for thick slippers with rubber soles to keep your feet cozy and give you traction when walking around your home. A good way to stay warm at night is to move closer to your sleeping partner and reap the benefits of natural body heat. If you have a pet, you may consider allowing them to sleep in your bed, if only to keep you warm throughout the night. Drafts are openings between doors, window panes, and sometimes even the slates in your floors, that let cold air into your room. If you keep getting woken up by cold air in your room, check for any drafts by your door, your window panes, or in the corners of your room. Block these drafts with a rolled up blanket or a long pillow. This will help to prevent cool air from circulating in your room as you sleep. You can also hang long blankets over your door and your windows to prevent any cold air from outside from coming in through small cracks into your room. If you continue to wake up at night shivering due to the cold room, try layering your blankets over your sheets, alternating between a thin layer and a thick layer, to create more warmth. Down comforters are great for retaining heat and keeping you warm, as are wool blankets. Down sleeping bags, made for camping, will also keep you very warm throughout the night. Look for them at thrift stores, Goodwill, or camping stores.
A:
Use a hot water bottle. Put on wool socks. Use body heat. Block any drafts in your room. Layer your sheets and blankets.
