Problem: Article: Use a powerful dishwashing detergent to clean your anodized cookware. You can also use more mild detergents. Avoid using baking soda or any other alkaline-based cleaning products on the inside of your anodized cookware. Clean your cookware with mild scouring powders, like Barkeeper's Friend, Ajax, or Comet. Scrub with non-abrasive sponges, scrubby sponges, soft-bristled cleaning brushes, dish cloths or rags. Avoid using steel wool and only use abrasive scrubbing pads sparingly. Never use oven cleaner or other caustic cleaning agents on your cookware. Also avoid any liquid household cleaners. This includes floor cleaners, silver polish, grout cleaner, or porcelain cleaner. Don't clean your anodized cookware with bleach.
Summary: Clean your cookware with detergent. Use gentle scrubbers. Don't use cleaning solutions that aren't intended for cookware.

Problem: Article: If you're likely to touch your face while you're waiting for the bus, bored, or in class, give yourself a small fidget to keep your hands occupied. A stress ball, keychain, beaded bracelet, rubber band, or gemstone make great fidgets. If you touch your face while you're watching television, give yourself a hand massage instead. Knitting or doodling are great ways to keep your hands engaged (plus you'll be doing something creative!). Identify your triggers to help you anticipate temptation and plan distractions. Do you unconsciously touch your face while you're reading, sitting in class, or watching television? Do you go the bathroom to brush your teeth and end up picking afterward? Or do you touch your face when you're stressed, excited, angry, bored, or sad? Whether you're sitting in class or at the dinner table, try sitting on your hands when you're not using them to eat or take notes. Designating a place for your hands to be (other than your face) will help you break the habit, especially if you touch or pick your face absentmindedly. As an alternative, lace your fingers together and set them on your lap or the table instead of leaning your face in your hands. Place sticky notes that say "NO TOUCHING OR PICKING" on your bathroom mirror, the visor mirror in your car, the TV remote, or anywhere else where you're likely to see it. It helps to post these reminders in locations where you're tempted to touch or pick at your face. You can even set hourly alarms on your phone to remind you to not pick if you're prone to do so at certain times of the day. It may sound silly, but it will be impossible to pick your face while wearing gloves. You can wear them overnight, too, if you tend to sleep with your face on your hands. Just be sure to wash the gloves regularly so they don't collect bacteria. Use 100% cotton gloves. Wool will irritate your face (should you try to touch it) and nylon might get a runner. If wearing gloves isn't an option, consider placing bandages or narrow strips of tape over your fingertips. This is a bit more discreet, and will make it very difficult to pick your skin. A close friend, parent, or roommate can be a very valuable ally when it comes to breaking the habit of touching or picking your face. Ask them to gently scold you if they see you touching your face. You can also create a collection jar, if necessary, to give you an incentive to avoid touching or picking. For instance, every time you do it, you have to put a dollar into the jar. Try not to become discouraged and remind yourself of all the good reasons for breaking the habit. Alternatively, you can remind yourself of the damage of touching and picking your face. Do an image search for acne scars to see what you may be in for if you continue to pick your face. Most types of acne will not cause scars if left untouchedpicking, gouging, and irritating the skin is more likely to cause scarring. If you touch your face or pick when you're feeling stressed, anxious, bored, or sad, take some time to clear and "reset" your mind. Meditation has been proven to help people manage their emotions and resist acting on body focused repetitive behaviors (like touching or picking). Follow online guided meditation videos or sign up for meditation classes at a local yoga studio. You can also download a guided meditation phone app like Headspace or MindShift to help you chill out while you're on the go.
Summary: Keep your hands busy when you're most likely to touch your face. Sit on your hands if you're tempted to touch or pick while you're sitting. Post visual reminders to not touch your face or pick. Wear gloves around the house if you tend to pick while you're at home. Ask a friend or family member to call you out whenever you touch your face. Remind yourself of reasons to stop touching or picking your face. Do mindfulness meditation to manage your emotional triggers.

Problem: Article: " Learning to count by twos, fives, and tens to 100 will improve your child's understanding of number relationships and begin to provide easy reference points. " "Doubles" are math facts such as "3 + 3 = 6" or "8 + 8 = 16." Again, these facts provide easy reference points as students learn to add. A child who knows instinctively that "8 + 8 = 16," for example, can more easily figure out the sum of "8 + 9" by simply adding one to the total. Try grouping cards by fact families to emphasize the relationships among these numbers. While students should recognize how numbers interact with each other, rote memorization of basic math facts will provide a complementary foundation for moving on to more complicated arithmetic.
Summary:
Instruct children in "skip counting. Encourage children to memorize "doubles. Use flash cards to stimulate memorization.
