In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Teens obey rules more consistently when they have opportunities to voice their opinion. You should absolutely set the rules and have the final say, but let your teen make decisions about how and when to meet your goals. For example, make sure they study and clean their room, but allow them to complete these tasks by a given time instead of right this minute. Say, "You have to clean your room, but you don't have to do it right this minute. Just get it done by the end of the weekend." It might not seem like they pay attention, but teens look to your example even more than younger kids. If you don't follow the family rules, you're telling your teen it's okay for them to break the rules, too. For example, if you don't want your teen to play on their phone during dinner, be sure to put away your own phone. Even when your teenager is acting defiant and rude, avoid reacting emotionally. Do not yell, scream, or cry, as your teen might see this as a way to get your attention or they may use it to manipulate you. Instead, remain calm. Express your disappointment in a clear and even voice. Positive reinforcement can help improve teenagers' self-esteem and encourage them to act more appropriately. Thank your teenager when they did some around the house, and let them know when you are proud of them. For example, if your teenager washes the dishes, say, "Thank you. That was a big help." If your teenager gets a good grade, you might say, "I'm really proud of you. I know you worked hard, and it paid off." Since they'll soon be young adults, teens must learn how to hold themselves accountable for their actions. Without putting their health or safety at risk, consequences for disobedience should mirror what would happen if they made poor decisions as adults. Suppose your teen was texting on their phone and got into an at-fault fender-bender. Take away their car and, if they don't have one already, have them get a part-time job to pay for repairs. You could also downgrade their cell phone plan to remove web access and texting, or get them a phone without these capabilities. Avoid rescuing your teenage when they encounter obstacles or difficulties. These can be valuable learning experiences for them. For example, if they lose their phone, don't give them a new one. Teens need food to fuel their tremendous growth rate, and they rarely get their recommended 9 to 10 hours of nightly sleep. If your teen is acting up, chances are they aren't getting enough sleep or calories. Be sure they have a healthy breakfast before they leave for school, like Greek yogurt with fruit or fortified cereal. Encourage them to go for nutritious options at the cafeteria, and help them prepare healthy lunches and dinners outside of school. Have them help you cook dinner, and teach them (or learn together) how to prepare healthy meals. Do your best to ensure they go to bed as early as possible, and have regular conversations about the importance of proper eating and sleeping habits.
Summary: Set clear goals and rules, but negotiate the details with them. Model positive behavior and follow your own rules. Praise your teenager when they do something well. Make natural, logical consequences your core disciplinary tools. Ensure your teen eats and gets enough sleep.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These balls come in all sizes, so you want to choose one that's not too small or too enormous. The "standard" beach ball size will likely work best for this project. Blow into the air spigot, making sure not to let any air escape, until the ball is about half to three-quarters of the way inflated. You can adjust this to how big you want your belly to be. If you want a huge belly, then go ahead and inflate the ball all the way. It will look cartoonishly large for a pregnancy, but that might be what you're going for with your costume. Again, you can use ace bandages, bandeaus, or tank tops to do this. Because a beach ball doesn't have nearly as much weight as a helmet or two blankets, you won't have to work so hard to keep it in place a single tight bandeau or tank top should do the trick. Make sure to point the air nozzle down toward the ground. If it points out or up, it will be noticeable through your shirt, and if it points back toward you, it will irritate your skin and start hurting after a little while. With this method, you might even be able to get away with a tighter shirt! Try out a few different shirts and see which one goes best with your fake belly.
Summary: Choose a beach ball that's appropriately sized. Inflate the beach ball about half-way. Secure the beach ball to your torso. Wear a loose-fitting shirt over top the beach ball, and you're ready to go.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Blow drying too often can damage your hair and lead to unnecessary frizz. You can protect your hair by purchasing a heat protecting spray. After you've applied product to your hair, make sure it's about 75% dry before you start blow drying. Try drying just the roots of your hair to give it some lift and avoid damaging your hair. While your hair is still wet from the shower, apply a cream hydrator from the roots of your hair to the tip. Warm the product between your palm and fingers and wrap your curls around your fingers to shape them. If you have a hair diffuser attachment for your blow dryer, use it to dry your hair. Set it for a low speed and point it away from your roots to keep from frizzing your hair. You can use an anti-frizz serum after your shower, or you can keep it on hand to use throughout the day. If you have thicker hair, apply the serum from root to tip. If you have thinner hair, apply the serum from about the middle of your hair to the tip. Avoid using serum near the roots to keep your hair from looking oily. Alcohol will dry your hair out and lead to more frizz. A lot of hairsprays and mousse contain alcohol, so your best bet is to give them up or switch to an alcohol-free brand. Switching to alcohol-free brands may mean looking for salon quality products. These are likely to be more expensive than your everyday products.
Summary:
Protect your hair from heat. Use a cream hydrator. Keep an anti-frizz serum handy. Avoid products with alcohol.
