Problem: Article: Once you have observed situations involving sharing, you should be able to determine which issues seem to cause trouble for particular toddlers. Is one child especially protective of a particular toy? Consider letting him or her put that toy away somewhere, off limits, during a play date. Plan to let toddlers play together when they are rested and when they have been fed. Hungry, tired, cranky toddlers are guaranteed to fight over toys. Limit play time to one to two hours for toddlers; anything longer is expecting too much from a young child. Whenever toddlers are playing together, it is best to have clear, simple rules in place. Any toys that are not meant to be shared should be put away elsewhere. All remaining toys should then be shared, with no exceptions. Consider setting a timer for popular toys, and enforce consistent limits. When a child has to give up his or her favorite toy temporarily, offer interesting replacements. If you give a toddler something fun to do, he or she may be too distracted to argue about the original toy. Generally, it's best to have lots of choices available. Have enough options around to have multiple alternatives for each toddler. Instead of grabbing toys from other children, toddlers should be taught to ask for them. Model appropriate language for toddlers: "may I have a turn, please?" If toddlers play a game that requires more than one person, whether it's a ball game or a board game, they will be less likely to fight.
Summary: Avoid unnecessarily stressful situations. Choose your play time wisely. Set clear rules. Offer alternatives. Teach toddlers to discuss sharing verbally. Encourage cooperative play.

Problem: Article: Keep the furniture in storage or an adjacent room until you cut and install the tiles. This will give you a clearer view of the room to ensure accurate measurements. Vacuum or mop the floor as well, and throw away any trash or debris covering the ground. Beginning from the center helps you keep the tiling pattern balanced. Mentally divide the room into 4 different quadrants and start measuring in the approximate middle. Finding the center is easiest for square or rectangular rooms. If your room is oddly shaped, start in the approximate middle. If you are adhering many tiles, making layout lines on the floor can help you make the tile patterning even. Use a tape measure to record the length and width of your tile. Make this measurement your guide as you record how many peel-and-stick tiles you will need to cover the floor. Beginning from the center of the room and outward, use chalk to record where you will lay out the peel-and-stick tiles. While measuring the layout lines, mark them in chalk to use as a guideline when you cut and adhere the tiles. Make partial lines around the sides and corners of the room so you know what shape to cut certain tiles.
Summary: Remove all furniture from the room before measuring the space. Start from the center of the room. Measure the tile layout lines, if desired. Use chalk to mark the layout lines.

Problem: Article: Make sure you know as much as possible about the company and individual who will be hearing your sales pitch. Look up your potential customers' profiles on LinkedIn, and read through the company's website. Find out what the business' specific needs are and how they relate to your product or service. What will they gain by working with you? The person who can decide about using your product or service is the person who should hear your pitch. Find out who makes decisions about buying inventory or using services in the company. Once you've identified the most appropriate person to listen to your pitch, schedule an appointment with them. Find out when it is most convenient for them. Be sure to consider the amount of lead time they might need in order to stock your product, or when they will most need your services. For example, if you are selling a holiday-related item, you shouldn't wait until the beginning of December to deliver your sales pitch.
