In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your child is being physically bullied, then he may display unexplained injuries. If you notice any of these signs, it could be an indication that your child is being bullied. Cuts, bruises, or scrapes that your child won't explain. Torn or beat up clothing. Broken or missing toys, electronics, or possessions. Coming home from school hungry. Some bullies will take money or food from their victims and your child may not be eating lunch. Not all bullying involves physical violence. Verbal taunts can be just as damaging as physical attacks. Watch for any unexplained or sudden changes in your child's behavior. A sudden withdrawal from friends or activities. This will often center on activities where the bully is present. For example, if your child suddenly doesn't want to go to baseball practice, there could be a bully on the team. Sudden mood swings or aggression. Sudden decline in grades at school. Difficulty sleeping. Nightmares or night terrors. If you notice any strange marks or behavior in your child, then it might just be as simple as asking if someone is bothering him at school. Some children may be embarrassed or not want to talk about it, but a direct question might give them the push they need to open up. Ask specific questions based on what you've observed. For example, state "I've noticed you're coming home from school hungry lately. Is someone taking your food?" or "I see that your jacket is ripped. Did someone do that to you?" It's likely that your child won't open up right away when you ask. In that case, make sure to leave the lines of communication open and tell your child that you're always around to talk. Ask your child indirect questions if he won't answer direct questions. You could witness a bullying scene on TV and ask how he feels about that. Children are usually more likely to discuss problems with their friends than their parents. If you know your child's classmates, you can try to ask one of them if something is going on at school. Generally you should only take this step if you've witnessed other signs of bullying. Questioning classmates should only be used to confirm your suspicions. Adults involved in your child's life away from home may have observed problems he has had with other children. If you've noticed any physical or emotional signs of bullying, you can arrange a meeting with one of these adults. Ask if anyone has been bothering your child or if your child has complained about anyone. You should never belittle or criticize your child if he tells you about being bullied. It takes a lot of courage for children to confess this to their parents. If you react negatively, you could force your child further into isolation and endanger his or her emotional state. Instead, listen calmly to what your child is telling you. Say that you believe him and that you're glad he told you. Children who are bullied often feel alone and isolated, so it's very important to let your child know you're always there to help.
Summary: Look for physical signs of bullying. Look for emotional or psychological signs of bullying. Ask your child if he is being bullied. Ask your child's friends or classmates if he is being bullied. Arrange a meeting with your child's teacher or coach. Take your child seriously if he tells you about being bullied.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sometimes recycling facilities won't take tires or other forms of rubber because the process to recycle them is so different from other materials. Call or visit your local recycling facility's website to see if they address whether or not rubber can be recycled. If they do accept it, drop it off at the recycling facility during regular drop off hours, which can be found on the website as well. Visit websites that direct you to a rubber recycling solution in your location, such as https://search.earth911.com/. Type in "rubber" as well as your zip code to find out the name and address of places that will accept the rubber. Earth911 tells you the specific type of rubbers that they allow, such as tires, carpet padding, inner tubes, etc. If this site isn't providing any answers for you, do a general search online to look for rubber recycling options near you. One of the main uses for recycled rubber is in the creation of rubber mulch, such as the kind used on children's playgrounds. If there's a business that produces rubber mulch near you, call or look on their website to find out how you can donate your old tires. To find businesses like this, go online and type in "rubber mulch company near me." Visit or call your local tire retailer to see if they take old tires.

You may have to pay a small fee to have your tires taken at a tire retailer. Check with several other tire retailers if the first one you ask doesn't take recycled tires. When your tire retailer does a routine tire switch on your car, ask them what they do with the old tires to see if they recycle them. Schools are always in need of school supplies, and rubber bands are very useful. Post offices also often need rubber bands to hold mail or newspapers together. Reach out to local schools or post offices to ask if they'd like your extra rubber bands.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Chances are, you already have a baby-care kit containing necessary supplies such as diapers, snacks, wipes, and toys. To make sure you're always ready to discreetly and safely dispose of your baby's diapers, tuck a few sturdy plastic bags into this kit and make sure you renew your supply daily. Plastic bags with zips are particularly helpful, as they'll keep waste and moisture contained in the event that you have to travel with the bag for a period of time. You can also find scented bags at many baby supply and general retail stores. While your home diaper disposal routine might not include this step, it's essential when you're out of the house. Pop it into one of the bags you've brought along and tightly seal it before looking for an appropriate waste basket to put it in. If you're near a toilet, you can remove and flush any solid waste before doing this in order to minimize bulk and smell. While it may seem like all trash is created equal, think again. Another person's home, a restaurant or office, or out the car window are all unhygienic an inappropriate options. Only get rid of your diaper-containing plastic bag in an outdoor bin or one located in a bathroom. If you're at a friend's house, ask where you can dispose of the diaper. If none of these hygienic options are readily available, you'll have to carry your bag with you until you find one. Disposable diapers pollute the environment if you leave them out, so you'll need to carry your dirty diapers around with you if you're camping, hiking or on some other outdoor adventure. If you're too squeamish to handle this dirty job, use a public campground or well-maintained trail which provides regularly serviced dumpsters.
Summary:
Pack some sealable plastic bags into your portable diaper kit. Roll the used diaper into one of your plastic bags. Locate a waste bin in an appropriate location. Store soiled diapers in a separate bag if you're in the wilderness.
