Q: A warm fire is a camping classic. Just be sure you have municipal permission (if you are a child, you must have adult supervision) and keep a close eye on your bonfire. Remember to follow all fire safety precautions, keep a hose or fire extinguisher handy, and never leave the bonfire unattended. If your space doesn't allow for a bonfire, consider using a terracotta pot as a fire pit. Line your pot with aluminum foil, fill it with charcoal, and light it up. This will allow you to roast s'mores or other items, giving you that true camping feel. Just remember to keep a hose or fire extinguisher handy, and never leave your fire pit unattended. Make sure children are supervised by adults when near any open flame. Consider drawing a circle around your bonfire or firepit, and teach children not to cross the line. Besides keeping warm, you can also roast marshmallows or hot dogs on your campfire. It is also a great place to just cozy up and stare at the flames. You could ask children to point out shapes in the flames or coals and see where their imaginations take them (similar to finding shapes in clouds). The campfire is also a great location for group activities such as telling stories or singing songs. Cut a circle out of a pizza box and use it as a template to spray different colored circles on your lawn. You'll need four to six different colors to make rows of four to six circles each, each row having its own color. Use a spinner from the game itself, or make your own with paper and markers. Someone could even call out the colors and body parts at random (e.g., right foot blue, left hand yellow, etc.). Use contractor's marking spray paint if you want to easily wash away the paint after your camp out. Make a list of items likely to be found in the yard and hand out copies to everyone who wants to play. This game works well individually and in teams. You can see who can find the most items, or who can find items the fastest. Consider handing out a small prize to the winner(s), such as glow sticks or candy. A few ideas for your list include: a four-leaf clover, a ladybug, something yellow, two identical leaves, a feather, a round rock, etc. Bring a stereo or boombox outside, or even plug your phone into a compatible projection speaker. Music will liven up your camp-out in no time. Take turns being the DJ so everyone gets to hear their favorite tunes. You can even start a dance party! If you have close neighbors, try to quiet down as the evening progresses. Your neighbors may have small children who are trying to sleep. Don't make deafening noises or play loud, booming music all night, especially after 9-10:00 pm. Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunt in which you travel to a specific spot and find containers full of "treasure" left by others. As a general rule, if you take something from a cache, you should leave something of similar value in its place. You'll need a handheld GPS or smartphone for this activity. You can download the geocaching app or visit http://www.geocaching.com to find a source for your caches. If you have a video projector you can hang a sheet in the yard (as the screen) and watch a movie outside. In keeping with your theme, you could even watch a movie about camping. The Parent Trap or Camp Rock are great choices if you are camping with kids, while Without A Paddle and Bushwhacked are better for older audiences. . Stargazing is a great wind-down activity. Spread out blankets on the grass and lay down to look at the stars. You could even see who can point out the most constellations, or teach little ones how to find prominent constellations, like Orion. Apps such as "Sky Map" show you the name of each star and constellation by using your location in real time. Have a camera nearby to take silly snapshots of you, your kids, your family members, and your friends. Take one large group shot with everyone smiling and laughing. Be sure to make copies for everyone! You could even hang a picture frame from a tree branch to create your very own photo booth.
A: Light a bonfire. Use your fire for food and fun. Turn your lawn into a Twister board. Hold a nature scavenger hunt. Turn on some music. Go geocaching. Screen a movie. Stargaze Make memories.

Q: Many Member items tend to cost more money than Non-Member ones. An upside you will find is that some items, armor sets and weapons will actually cost less in Member Worlds than they did in Non-Member Worlds. Do quests, make friends with players that have more experience than you, and explore a little. Indulge in your curiosity, and do a few new quests. Quests revolving around Member skills and areas can be a great way to get to know the game around you.
A: Be prepared to pay money for your new skills and items. Get acquainted with the member world.

Q: The most important thing you can do as you raise your introverted teen is to accept them as they are. Don't try to make them become extroverts or get them to be more outgoing. Accept their personality for what it is. This will help them develop a better sense of self. It is also important to validate your teen, so make sure that you tell your teen that it is normal to be introverted. For example, you might say something like, "Being an introvert is totally normal. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert." According to scientific studies, extroverts and introverts have different brain chemistries, which means their brains are hardwired differently. This means they are naturally and biologically made to be an introvert. People may use negative or unflattering words to describe your child. You can rephrase these descriptions into something positive. This helps your child refrain from adopting negative labels and descriptions for themselves and instead create a healthy, positive image. You should also use positive words in your own mind when thinking about your child. For example, if someone says your child is "standoffish," you can say "reserved" or "careful." If someone calls your child "timid," you may say "quiet" or "contemplating." Many times, introverted teens don't feel like they have a voice or the ability to speak up. This means they may let people bully them or run over them. They also may not speak their mind when they do have an opinion. Teach your teen that their voice is important. If your teen is being bullied, help them learn how to speak to a trusted adult or to address the issue. You and your child may be able to come up with a phrase that can work, like, "Stop treating me this way" or "Do not speak to me like that." When your child speaks, listen to them. Ask questions and encourage them to talk to you. Make sure they know that you value their opinions and ideas. Teaching your child to be more assertive may also help. Introverted teens may have trouble expressing their feelings or talking about what they are thinking. Because they focus on their inner self and keep things internalized, they may have trouble figuring out how to communicate their feelings. Help your child learn how to express their feelings. Create an environment where they feel comfortable sharing their feelings. Don't make them feel embarrassed or wrong for their feelings. If your teen doesn't want to share feelings or ideas verbally with you, try getting them to express themselves in other ways. Get them to write in a journal, create art, or play music to express their feelings. You may also encourage individual sports, like boxing or martial arts, to help them release frustration.
A:
Accept your child for who they are. Describe your child using positive words. Teach your teen their voice matters. Help your teen express feelings.
