How to argue with parents successfully
Pick your battles.
You shouldn't argue with your parents every time you disagree with them, if only because this strategy will make it harder for you to win when the argument is about something that is really important to you.
Weigh the benefits versus the costs.

OPTIONS:
- If the topic of the argument is significant to you, it might be worth the effort and the possible consequences of engaging in an argument with your parents. However, if there are minimal worthwhile results, it might be best to let this one go.
- For example, you might argue that your parents don't have enough hours, for example, or your parent may not be able to take you to court every weekend because you don't like to do chores. Your parents may try to argue back however.
- Arguing over something that you really don't care about is not appealing to your parents. They might, for example, raise medical bills or the difference between lunch money and gas money for you, because you argue over the need to use the bathroom while your parents cook dinner.
- Arguing with your parents about something that is really important to you will probably not be as effective as it could be, and it won't make you feel better, especially if the argument will come with little or no concessions. Fighting may seem obvious, but dealing with your parents individually can be a huge difference.

How to catch a football
Keep your eyes on the football.
You want to be watching the football the entire time it's in the air. Pick a spot on the football-the white strip or the tip of the ball-and lock your eyes on that spot until the ball is in your hands.

OPTIONS:
- You don't want to catch a football before it is in your hands, but you want to keep your eyes on the ball. Turn the ball over, so your hands are about level.
- Note the four flags that the offensive team uses. The flags run from left to right and hang vertically or horizontally on the ground.
- Use your fingers to catch the football, not your palms. Your fingers should be the first thing to come into contact with the ball.
- Also try scanning the field for defenders or fans in particular. Sometimes, defenders will come in pretty close and flick their hands open in order to help catch the ball, while other times, they may come in not far enough to catch it.
