Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait until she is ready. Listen actively. Validate her feelings Help her problem-solve.

Answer: When we see those we care about in trouble or pain, we instantly want to fix the situation. Overcome the urge to "fix" her problem or rush her into talking about it. The best case scenario is to just be there. When she's ready to talk, she will. The best listeners don't listen to reply, they listen to understand. Active listening is the process of focusing your attention on her message and responding so that you can achieve mutual understanding. Active listening involves four key principles: Seek to understand before being understood. You must collect information about what she is saying before you can adequately provide a response to her. Be non-judgmental. Refrain from expressing any judgment about her circumstances. Demonstrate unconditional positive regard and emotional intelligence. You can be with, talk to and provide support without necessarily agreeing with everything she says. Provide undivided attention. Make eye contact within a ratio that feels comfortable to you, typically about 70% of the time you're listening (about 50% when you're speaking). Turn off your phone. Turn to face her with your arms and legs uncrossed. Make appropriate use of silence. Sit quietly no matter how much you would like to interrupt. She may have an important revelation that never comes out because of an untimely interruption. Offer feedback by nodding, smiling, or saying short remarks such as "Umm hmm" or "Go on" to let her know you're listening. . More than likely, if she is overwhelmed by stress or emotion, she may just want to feel heard and accepted. When loved ones are upset it can be terribly easy to overlook their core feelings in an effort to resolve the situation. When she calms down a bit, ask her to describe her feelings to you without minimizing her circumstances or offering unsolicited advice. Helpful validating statements may sound like: "Aww, that sounds terrible." "I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time." "I can see why you're upset. That doesn't sound fair." Only after actively listening to and validating her feelings may you move into the resolution stage. And, still, you should only try to help her with the situation if she expressly asks for your help. Otherwise, your job is done. If she asks for advice or help solving an issue, work together. Clearly define the problem. Then, ask her ideally what she would like the end result to be. Once you've identified her goals, then outline a list of possible solutions that can meet them. Go over each solution aloud and consider the pros and cons of each. Allow her to make the final decision. Remember, you are there to be a source of support, not to take over her life. If her problem is too big for you to help with alone, offer to go with her to talk to her parents, another adult, the school counselor, or a professional counselor.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Combine the butter with the herb seasonings. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) and combine the steak seasonings. Sprinkle the seasoning over 4 bison steaks. Sear the bison steaks for 2 minutes over high heat. Flip and sear the steaks for 2 more minutes. Cook the steaks in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Rest the steak for 5 minutes before serving it.

Answer: Place 6 tablespoons (84 g) of softened butter into a bowl and add 1 minced garlic clove along with 1 teaspoon (1 g) of chopped fresh tarragon, 1 teaspoon (1 g) of chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon (1 g) chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Use a spoon or spatula to mix the butter with the seasonings until they're combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. Keep the herb butter chilled while you prepare the bison steaks. You can make the butter ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 1 week. Measure 2 teaspoons (10 g) of fine sea salt, 12 teaspoon (2 g) of citric acid, and ground pepper, according to your taste, into a small bowl. Stir the seasonings. Citric acid will tenderize the steaks without adding liquid. If you don't have citric acid, you could squirt a little lemon juice over the steaks once they've finished cooking. Keep in mind that they may not be as tender. Get out 4 8-ounce (226 g) bison tenderloin filets that are 1.5 inches (3.8cm) thick. Season both sides of each steak with the seasoning and set them aside while you heat a skillet. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of canola oil into a cast-iron skillet and turn the burner to high. Once the oil shimmers and is hot, lay the bison steaks in the skillet. Cook the steaks for 2 minutes without turning them. They should brown on the bottom. Use tongs or a spatula to flip the steaks over. Cook them on the other side so they brown. Turn off the burner. If you'd like medium-rare steaks, cook them for 1 extra minute. Avoid cooking the steaks longer than this or they can become tough or chewy. Wear an oven mitt to transfer the cast-iron skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven. If you want the steaks to be rare, cook them for 6 minutes. For medium-rare steaks, cook them for 8 minutes. Avoid cooking the bison for more than 8 minutes because it can easily dry out and become tough. Remove the skillet from the oven and cover the steaks loosely with aluminum foil. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before you transfer them to serving plates. Top each steak with a spoonful of the chilled herb butter and serve them with roasted vegetables, rolls, or mashed potatoes. Store the leftover bison steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do range of motion stretches. Exercise frequently. Balance physical activity with rest.

Answer: Another good way to loosen up stiff joints is by doing some gentle exercises. You can even perform some exercises while you're still in bed. For instance, roll your shoulders and ankles in small, slow circles, or reach as far as you can above your head. Once out of bed, stand with your feet together, your arms out in front of you, and your back straight. Slowly twist from side to side. This exercise alone will engage most of the joints in your body, improving blood flow. Physical activity is extremely important, as keeping your muscles strong will help support your joints. Further, exercise will help you sleep better, maintain or achieve a healthy weight, and improve your mood and sense of contentment. Aim to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five times a week. Try yoga, tai-chi and other low-impact exercise such as swimming or elliptical cycling. Swimming is one of the best exercise options for people who suffer from arthritis. Try an early morning swim whenever you are able, as this can help loosen up any lingering morning stiffness. Eliminate or reduce aggravating activity, such as stair climbing, prolonged sitting and intense jogging. Stiff, swollen joints also need to be treated carefully. While you need to exercise to keep muscles engaged and loosen your joints, you also need to allow inflamed joints to cool down. If unaccustomed to exercising regularly, start slowly with short a short walk or casual swim. If a type of exercise makes your joints warm or swollen, remove it from your exercise regimen. Further, don't continue any exercise that cause site-specific pain in your joints. Alternate exercise activities to decrease the amount of repetition and overuse of the joints. See a physiotherapist for help establishing an exercise regimen that works for you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cool the bite with a cold compress. Apply heat to the bite. Put essential oils on the bite. Use citrus juice or vinegar to stop the itching. Try raw honey. Dry out the bite with a baking soda paste or toothpaste. Apply meat tenderizer to the bite. Rub aloe vera on the affected area. Raise the bitten area above your heart if possible.

Answer:
The cold will reduce the swelling and numb the area a little bit. If you don't have an ice pack ready and waiting for use in the freezer, you can quickly make one by wrapping ice cubes or a package of frozen peas in a towel. Be careful not to hold the ice on your skin for too long. Limit it to 15 to 20 minutes at a time. If cold does not work to reduce the itching, try using heat. Heat can break down some of the chemicals in the bite that cause the itch, giving you relief. Heat a spoon in boiling water. Hold it with a potholder so that you don't burn your hand. Gently press the back of the spoon onto the bite. Hold it there for 15 seconds and then remove it. Use a blow dryer to heat the bite and the area around the bite. These methods have not been scientifically tested, but people have found them to be useful. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties and will help prevent infection, as well as relieve itching, swelling and pain. Put a small drop on your finger or a clean cotton ball and then rub it directly onto the bite. Try other essential oils like lavender or coconut to reduce the itching and swelling. These also have the benefit that they will smell good. The acid will help kill bacteria, prevent infection, promote healing and reduce the itching. Lemon juice, lime juice and apple cider vinegar are common cooking ingredients that have high acidity. Soak the edge of a kitchen towel or napkin in the juice/vinegar and then dab it onto the bite until it is thoroughly coated. Let the juice/vinegar dry and reapply it whenever the itching starts again. Honey will help reduce inflammation and the stickiness will make it less rewarding to scratch. Clean the bite thoroughly with soap and water. Smear a quarter teaspoon of honey onto the bite and then let it sit. The honey will be sticky, so be sure to keep the area clean so that dirt doesn't get stuck in the honey and transferred to the bite. This will draw out fluids and toxins, helping it to heal faster. Make a baking soda paste by mixing baking soda and water in a 2:1 ratio, then dab the mixture onto and around the bite. Let it dry completely before wiping it off. This will help dry out the bite and remove toxins. Dab a pea-sized drop of toothpaste onto the bite and let it dry on the bite. Toothpaste is an astringent and it will help draw out the fluids under your skin. Meat tenderizer contains enzymes that break down proteins. This will help reduce the itching by breaking down chemicals in the bug's saliva which are in your skin. Dissolve the meat tenderizer in a small amount of water. Dab the mixture directly onto the point where the bite occurred. You should get relief right away. Let it dry and then wash the meat tenderizer off with water. The aloe will have a cooling, soothing effect and is excellent for helping your skin heal. If you have a commercially manufactured aloe vera gel, apply that generously over the bite and surrounding area. If you have an aloe plant in your house, break off a leaf and split it open. Apply the gooey gel directly onto the bite. If the bite occurred on your arm or leg, raise the limb above your heart. To be comfortable, try lying in bed and propping your arm or leg up on a pile of pillows. Stay in this position for at least 30 minutes to give the swelling time to go down.
