Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Increase your own knowledge about menstruation. Discuss the function of the uterus. Explain that bleeding occurs when there is no baby. Talk about menstrual products.

Answer: It's hard to explain things to kids when you are unclear about information. Prior to having a discussion for children of any age, review information about menstrual cycles. Read materials written specifically for kids. You can also review diagrams of women's reproductive system and include diagrams in your explanation. The more comfortable you feel in your knowledge, the easier your explanation will be. You may want to check out a book on menstruation written specifically for children or share it with your boys. If the boy you're speaking with already has an understanding of where babies come from, this part will be easy. If he doesn't, it might be a longer conversation. Explain to him that every woman has a "baby center" called the uterus, which allows her to grow a baby. Each month, her body gets ready to hold a new baby. To do this, her uterus has to get extra strong, so it grows a lining. For example, a mother might say to her young son, "Every woman has a uterus, which is where babies grow until they are ready to come out. Every month, her body gets ready to have another baby and the lining of of uterus gets really thick so that it can catch an egg and hold on to it. If it's time to have a baby, the baby will grow inside the uterus." If he is having trouble understanding the concept, you might say the uterus is like a balloon inside a woman's tummy. By age 5, children should be comfortable with the official names of reproductive organs. If a woman doesn't have a baby inside, the uterus no longer needs the thickened lining created that month. The lining dissolves and is dispelled through the vagina as blood. The mother could continue with something like, "If a woman doesn't want to have another baby, this extra strong lining in the uterus goes away because she doesn't need it. That lining leaves her body as blood and goes out through her vagina." Bring up that women wear tampons, sanitary pads, and menstrual cups to collect the expelled blood. Be sure to explain that this is lining the body made to support a baby leaving, and that the blood doesn't come from an injury. You can say, "Women choose how they want to collect the blood that came from the uterus and out the vagina. There are lots of ways to do this. Women do this to keep their clothes clean." If the boy is older, you can talk about each product and what it does.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Begin shaping when your tree is 1 metre (3.3ft) tall. Prune once a year in the late spring or early summer. Avoid cutting too much on young trees. Aim for a martini glass shape. Choose 3 or 4 strong lateral branches to form your main shape.

Answer:
When your tree is about 2 years old and 1 metre (3.3ft) tall, with 3 or 4 strong lateral branches, you can begin the first stages of shaping. Your tree will not be bearing any fruit until it is about 3 or 4 years old, so this pruning is just to start getting it formed into a shape that will be conducive to healthy growth and fruit bearing. When your tree does start bearing fruit, it will be in the fall, so the ideal time to prune is right before it's about to begin its new growth for the year. Try to prune your tree on a dry day so that the new cuts don't get too wet and vulnerable to infection. Olive trees grow slowly and overall don't need a lot of pruning. Pruning once per year is plenty. It's important to maintain a balance between shaping your tree into a form that will be its main structure for life and allowing your tree to grow and build energy reserves. Too much pruning will stunt a young olive tree's growth. If your tree is a few years old and still isn't 1 metre (3.3ft) tall with a trunk and more than 3 or 4 strong lateral branches, you can hold off on pruning for another year. The healthiest olive tree shape is that of a wide martini glass, with the trunk being the glass stem. Most branches should grow laterally and slightly up. The center of the "glass" remains light in branch density to allow light into the center of the tree. To begin achieving a martini glass shape, choose 3 or 4 strong branches that are growing mostly out and slightly up from the trunk to keep as the main structure for your tree. Leave smaller branches coming off these branches, even if they are growing down. You can cut other small, weak, or vertical branches aside from these main 3 or 4. If your tree only has 2 strong lateral branches, you can prune others that seem very weak or too vertical, but next year you'll want to look for another 2 strong branches to keep. Eventually you want your tree to have 4 strong lateral branches for its main structure.
