Summarize the following:
Extracurricular activities often involve a big time commitment, so it's important to talk to your co-parent about what activities your child will participate in. Figure out if you will discuss each activity before committing to it or if one parent will be permitted to sign the child up for an activity without the approval of the other. In addition to time considerations, you should also consider that your co-parent may not agree with the activity or may think it is too expensive. Having a plan for dealing with these kinds of situations ahead of time will make the decisions much easier. Make sure to think about transportation to and from activities, especially if they are far away. It's important to agree on this before committing your child to any activities that may take place during your co-parent's visitation time. Whether your child plays soccer or performs in the school play, you will eventually be faced with an event that you may both want to attend. Come up with an agreement regarding who will attend which events with your child. You may decide to attend alternating events, especially if they are frequent. If you agree to both attend, decide if there will be any rules. Will you interact with each other or will you sit separately and not speak to each other? Lots of things will come up while your child is with you that your co-parent will want to know about, and vice-versa. This includes things like the schedule for soccer games, punishments you have established, or issues that your child has been having at school. It's important to have a plan for how and when you will communicate this type of information. Decide on your preferred method of communication. If you don't like talking to your co-parent in person or on the phone, you may decide to communicate by email. If you decide to use an intermediate to communicate, outline how, and how often, this communication will occur. Also decide what information needs to be shared. You co-parent may want to know about it every time your child has a cold, or the two of you may decide that this is not necessary. Walk through your child's everyday routine with the other parent and try to agree on a schedule that you both can follow. Consistency is very important for young children, so having the same routine in both households will make things much easier. For babies, it's important that sleeping and feeding schedules remain consistent. For older children, it's important that homework and playtime routines remain consistent. It's important to lay out clear rules for how and when each parent will communicate with the child during the other parent's visit time. Try to come to an agreement that allows the child to stay in contact with both parents regularly, but which will not cause conflicts between the parents. You may choose to establish rules regarding the hours during which the other parent can call the child. You may also want to both agree to allow the child privacy when talking to the other parent. Your rules may change depending on your schedule. For example, if the child is staying with one parent for the entire summer, the other parent may want to phone frequently. If the child is only with the other parent for a few hours, frequent phone calls may not be appropriate. In addition, you and your co-parent must decide how much information about the parenting plan you will share with your child. The right choice for you will depend on your child's age and maturity level. For example, if you have a teenage son who you think would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the plan, you may want to allow him to help you make some of your decisions. You may decide that certain aspects of the parenting plan, like the financial clauses, are not appropriate to share.

summary: Decide how you will choose activities. Agree on who will attend events. Determine how you will communicate with your co-parent. Coordinate routines. Establish rules for communication with the child.

Summarize the following:
Start with about 5 cuts of each color and cut more as needed. Make sure that every cone has the shiny side of the ribbon facing outward. Staple the ribbon on it's fold to hold the cone shape. Position the cones so that the points are pointing away from the backer, staple base of the cone. For the first layer, use the same color cones and leave about a quarter to a half inch of space between each cone. Continue to staple the cones until the entire edge of the backer is filled with cones. It should look like a drawing of a sun or a flower. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Make-Homecoming-Mums-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-Homecoming-Mums-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Make-Homecoming-Mums-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/aid466916-v4-728px-Make-Homecoming-Mums-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} Remember to staple the base of the cone on the backside of the backer. The flower can be either real or fake, but most used are generally fake to prevent wilting. Set the mum aside and allow the glue to dry for several minutes. If you want to make a double mum, simply use a double backer with two holes instead of one and attach two flowers using a glue gun. Again, start with about 5 strips of each and then cut as many as needed to create a full-looking mum. Be sure to use a hot glue gun to fasten charms and other heavier objects to the ribbons. To make a military braid, begin by stapling the ends of two different colored ribbons together at a right angle. Next, fold a colored ribbon towards you, forming a loop as long as the ribbon is wide and staple the ribbons together where they intersect. Take a loop of your second ribbon and bring it through the original loop of the first ribbon. Continue to bring a loop of the first ribbon through the second ribbon and pull the second ribbon tight around the first ribbon. Remember to alternate ribbon colors as you continue to do this until you reach the end of the ribbons. You will use your middle backer with the streamers for this step. Cut several pieces of curling ribbon each 36 inches (91.4cm) long and tie a small bell to the end of each piece. Attach to the middle backer using hot glue. Staple the loop to the top center of the third, unused backer. This will serve as the base for your safety pin. Glue the third backer with the safety pin loop onto the back of middle backer to cover staple edges and protect clothing from staple snags. Allow the glue to dry. Then simply attach the pin to your clothing.
summary: Cut some 4-inch lengths from #3 and #5 ribbon until you have enough to create cones around the entire edge of one cardboard backer. Overlap the pieces and twist both ends in the same direction to form a cone shape. Staple the completed cone-shaped ribbon to the back edges of the cardboard backer. Fill in the spaces between the cones with a second row of cones using the second color of ribbon. Remove the stem from the mum flower. Take the backer of the pointed ribbons and glue the mum to the front middle of the backer using a hot glue gun. Pick up #5 and #9 ribbon in the color of your choice and cut several 48-inch-long strips. Take your 48-inch pieces and fold them in half to create 24-inch streamers. Embellish the lengths of the ribbons with any sort of decorations you desire once your backer looks full of ribbons Some ideas includes writing words out in glitter glue, fastening beads, rhinestones, or small plush figurines, and even putting photographs on the ribbons. Make a military braid from your ribbons if desired. Tie on bells using curling ribbon if desired. Take two 5-inch pieces of #5 and #9 ribbon and overlap them several times to form a loop. Complete embellishments to your satisfaction. Glue any central charms on the mum and add any final touches to the piece. To wear your mum, take your large safety pin and thread it through the loop you created on the back backer with the two 5-inch pieces of ribbon. Finished!
