Summarize the following:
Use wedge-shaped pillows to prop your head or back while sitting or reclining or to support your back or belly while lying on your side. You can even use wedge-shaped pillows to prop a hot water bottle up against your back. Wedge-shaped pillows are convenient because they are small and easily portable. However, because they are small, you will still need to use a regular pillow for your head. Choose from a crescent-shaped or triangular-shaped wedge pillow, whichever is your preference. The different shapes do not provide different benefits. Use a U-shaped pillow to support your whole body from your head and neck to your back, belly, knees, and ankles. This pillow is great for women who are used to sleeping on their back. It is also convenient for women who toss and turn during the night since you do not need to readjust the pillow. The U-shaped pillow is typically the most expensive pregnancy pillow. It is also the biggest pregnancy pillow. So if you have a small bed, look into getting a smaller pillow. C-shaped pillows are smaller than the U-shaped ones, so they are great if you have a mid-sized bed. These pillows provide support for your head, neck, back, and pelvic area. They are great for relieving pelvic tension and reducing water retention in your legs and ankles. The only drawback is that you will need to adjust the pillow throughout the night as you switch sides. This pillow shape is also recommended for plus-size women since its asymmetrical shape allows you to shape the pillow in a variety of ways. The J-shaped pillow is similar to the U-shaped pillow, only smaller and without the extra side. So if you have a mid-sized bed, look into this pillow. This pillow is great for head, neck, and back support. Also known as I-shaped pillows, these pillows are straight and run along the length of your body. They look like regular pillows, only longer. You can wrap your arms and legs around them. However, they do not provide much back support. Flexible versions of the full-length pillow are available as well. The flexible ones bend and conform to your body, but they are generally more expensive.

summary: Select a wedge-shaped pillow. Try a U-shaped pillow. Opt for a C-shaped pillow. Select a J-shaped pillow. Try a full-length pillow.

Taking the time to listen without judgement for the root cause of this choice is important. You can't work to fix the problem unless you know what you are dealing with. The most common reason for a student to drop out is either they have missed too many days already in the school year or they feel hopeless because they are beyond the point of fixing a failing grade. Both of these situations can be addressed, but the student may not understand this. Other reasons students consider dropping out may include being bullied, a teen pregnancy, depression problems with drugs/alcohol or social problems at school. When you probe to get information about why they are considering dropping out, you have to be prepared for whatever you find out. Instead of getting angry or yelling, offer your support. Ask how you can help. Being supportive does not mean enabling their behavior. If dropping out seems like a good idea because they simply do not like the responsibility, your student needs to know that if he/she drops out you will expect rent and financial contributions to the household via a job. Some students consider dropping out simply to enjoy their "freedom" by just staying home. This should not be an option; if they drop out they get a job like other adults do. Dropping out of school is an adult choice. Having a trusted adult they can talk to in order to solve the problem will go a long way to give them hope and a view towards the future. Community resources are available for teen parents, teenagers needing drug/alcohol treatment, or mental health counseling. If their issue is tied to a physical or psychological problem making an appointment for a checkup with their doctor is the first step in getting help. Schools often have resource centers as well, so checking in with a guidance counselor with your student's permission can also help. The school will also be able to tell you about alternative learning options if that would help. For cases where the problem is actually with something or someone at school, a visit to the school is a good first step. You may be able to solve a social problem like bullying by contacting the principal. A problem with a teacher can be solved with a schedule change, while tutoring can help with a failing grade. In an extreme case you may even consider home schooling options, the opportunity to start college classes early or to finish school on-line. Exploring all the academic option will help you to find the best fit to finish school for your student. Children who have good relationships with their parents come to them with problems and listen to their advice. Children with parents who are actively involved in school and show that they value education are less likely to drop out. Model life-long learning and encourage personal growth beyond the basics at school. Encourage your student to explore hobbies or volunteer with groups that interest them to explore possible careers. Doing this activity together is a great way to find a common interest and also get your student thinking about the future. A future goal of college makes dropping out less of an option. Setting aside time to do non-school activities together builds the connection and makes new memories. A student who feels they have talents beyond school may be less likely to be overwhelmed by an occasional failing grade and not look towards dropping out as the only fix. Sometimes, parents are so busy telling kids what to do that they miss small messages that represent a cry for help. Pay attention to your kids and when they talk, engage and listen. While hearing your child wants to drop out may seem like it came out of nowhere, it usually is the end of a long process. There are often signs and being involved in all stages of their education can give you a good indication if things have changed.
summary: Talk to your teen about why they want to drop out. Maintain your composure. Work together to problem-solve any issue. Develop a relationship with your teen that transcends school. Remember to listen to what your teen is saying.
