In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your first priority should be to create rules around the behaviors that are causing the most disruption or have potential risk for harm. If you are the main caregiver for the child, you can develop the rules on your own. If your child spends a great deal of time with another caregiver (another parent, grandparent, or paid caregiver), then work with that person on the rules. Make sure that the rules you develop are clear and simple. For example, for a child who has trouble with physical aggression, the rule could simply be worded "no hitting." Children need help replacing an undesirable behavior with something new that will help them learn to control themselves. Depending on what behaviors you are working on, you can try one or more different alternatives. Stop, think, choose. Stop the current activity, reflect on what you are thinking, and then consider consequences for yourself and others before you choose your next action. Personal time-out. Leave the room and take a few minutes to calm down before you return to the situation. Talk about how you feel. Tell a person you trust about how you are feeling by naming the feelings you are having and how the feelings are affecting you. Deep breaths. Take several deep breaths to help you if you are overwhelmed by feelings. Put meaningful rewards in place for when the child follows the rules. The consequences you choose should be minor and should not involve spanking or hitting the child. Consequences should also be age-appropriate. Positive reinforcement of good behavior is very powerful. Meaningful rewards don't need to be expensive toys or outings. Spending time with a child playing a game she enjoys might be a very inspiring reward for a child. And praise from you is a very meaningful reward for every child. When it comes to consequences, keep them minor. For older children, docking allowance or assigning an additional chore might be effective. For younger children, a brief time-out (no more than one minute for each year of the child's age) would be more appropriate. You do not want the child to have any confusion about what the rules mean or what "counts" as breaking the rules. Focus on what you want the child to do instead of the bad behavior. For example, tell your child that instead of hitting someone, you would like him to come to see you and tell you about feeling angry. Try role-playing with your child using "real-life" situations you have the child become upset and exhibit the bad behavior. One way to help children understand how to behave is to show them by example. If you and your child have agreed that the best way to avoid hitting is to take a few minutes alone to calm down, then you can try doing this yourself in front of your child. If your child breaks a rule, always use the consequence, and move to the consequence right away. If you wait until later or only enforce the rule sometimes, you are much less likely to see a behavioral change in your child. Similarly, when children follow the rules by using the replacement behavior you have worked on together, you should make sure to reward and praise them immediately. Parents who do not enforce the rules consistently and quickly tend not to see change in their child. If your child spends weekends with another parent or after-schools with a caregiver, then communicate with that person about the system you have created with the child. Consistency across settings will help your child be more successful.
Summary: Create a set of family rules. Give your child alternatives to bad behavior. Define meaningful rewards and consequences. Take the time you and your child need to discuss the rules together. Model the behaviors you want to see in your child. Consistently enforce the rules right away. Communicate with all caregivers about the rules.

Most often, unless it is due to a health problem such as ADHD, people fidget because they have restless energy and feel that they should be, or want to be, doing something else. Relaxing and calming your mind can help you cope with this restless energy. Instead of worrying about what else you should be or could be doing, or worrying that you're not getting things done fast enough, remain focused on where you are and what you're doing at the moment. This takes practice. Regardless of what you're doing, tell yourself, "this is what I'm doing right now, and I'm going to do my best at it and pay attention." When you feel the need to fidget, take a couple of slow deep breaths instead. This will help your nervous, restless energy to slowly disappear. If you are feeling incredibly nervous and fidgety, stop what you're doing and count while you're breathing. Take a deep breath in while counting to 10. When you get to 10, start letting it out while counting to 10 again. Do this several times until you feel more relaxed. Research and sign up for local yoga classes. If you already know yoga poses, practice them at home or during your breaks at work. The meditation, deep breathing, and stretching aspects of yoga help tremendously with restless energy and will help you to stay focused. Getting enough sleep is so important for managing stress. It allows your brain to recharge and gives it the ability to stay focused and organized. Be sure that you allow yourself 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and if you have trouble falling asleep, try the following: Avoid stimulation an hour before bed. This includes TV, exercise, and time on your phone. For an hour before bed, try enjoyable reading in dim lights, or take a warm bath. Don't do work in your bed during the day. Let your bed be the place where you are relaxed and ready for sleep, not thinking about responsibilities. Check on your diet and exercise. Lacking of certain nutrients, consuming caffeine, and not getting enough exercise can all contribute to insomnia. Keep a gratitude journal where you write down each day or a couple of times a week the things that you are thankful for. Remembering the things you are thankful for helps you maintain a positive mood and reduces stress and restless energy.

Problem: Article: If you hope to cover up a lot of blemishes with the stucco finish, then you will need to buy a larger quantity of thick stucco paint. For a thick stucco coat, it will only cover approximately 25 square feet (2.3 square m) per gallon (3.8 l). Ask the paint associate what they recommend for your particular job specifications. They may be able to recommend the best options for your stucco needs and help to supply you with the tools needed to complete the job, since stucco requires more tools than traditional painting. When purchasing stucco paint for outdoor surfaces, you can choose fine, medium or coarse sand stucco. Consult the paint specialists about which option would be best for your building. Stucco is usually made out of Portland cement, sand, hydrated lime, and water. Although some stucco recipes will differ, you can do pretty well by mixing up a simple ratio of 4:12:1 (cement to sand to lime), and then adding enough water, slowly, to get the stucco to the consistency of wet peanut butter. If you want to, add some mortar color to the mixed stucco to approximate the color of the surrounding stucco. This will make it easier to color the newly-patched stucco and blend it in to the existing stucco, although you want still need to color the whole wall later on if the colors don't match seamlessly. Pre-mix stucco patch can come in either textured or un-textured form, and comes ready to go, for ease of application. If you're only patching up a slight area and don't want to spend a lot of time mixing, this might be the right way to go.
Summary:
Choose stucco or textured paint from a hardware or paint store. If you want, mix the stucco yourself. If you're doing a small job and only need to patch up stucco, consider getting pre-mixed stucco patch.
