Wash 2 cups (340 g) of fresh strawberries and use a knife to carefully cut and discard the stems. Cut the strawberries into quarters and place them in a blender or food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and put the lid on the blender. Puree the strawberries until they're completely smooth. Blending the strawberries will also help the sugar dissolve. Get out a small bowl and measure 2 tablespoons of agar flakes into it. Carefully pour 1/8 cup (30 ml) of hot water over the flakes. Stir the mixture to dissolve the flakes and set the bowl aside, so the agar cools. Avoid letting the mixture turn solid. Agar flakes are a vegetable gelatin made from sea vegetables. This makes them a safe vegan choice for making mousse. Pour 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) of whipping cream into a large mixing bowl along with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Add the cooled agar mixture to the bowl. Use a stand or hand mixer with whisk attachments to whisk the ingredients on high speed. Whisk the mixture for a few minutes, so the cream becomes stiff. If you can, chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachments for 5 to 15 minutes before you whisk the mixture. A cold bowl will help the cream whip up faster. Transfer the strawberry puree to a serving bowl or mixing bowl and add the whipped cream mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the cream into the strawberry puree. You can chill the mousse or scoop it into individual serving dishes before you chill it. Refrigerate the mousse for 4 to 6 hours, so it sets up. Garnish the mousse with 2 to 3 fresh strawberries and fresh mint.

summary: Puree the strawberries with the sugar. Dissolve the agar flakes in hot water. Whisk the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and agar mixture. Combine the gelatin-free strawberry mousse.

Wait until the child is fast asleep, then quietly slip into his or her room. Gently remove the tooth, and then place the gift (money, letter, toy, toothbrush, etc.) under the pillow or in some other location. You may want to let your child stay up a little later on the night the tooth fairy visits. That way, you will be less likely to accidentally wake him/her when you take the tooth and leave a gift. You can suggest that your child leaves the tooth under another pillow next to the one he or she will lay his/her head on. This will make it easier for you to take the tooth and leave the gift without waking the child. You can even tell your child it will be easier for the tooth fairy to get under the pillow this way. If the tooth was placed in a glass of water, instead of fishing the tooth out, just bring in another, identical glass of water and remove the one with the tooth. That way, you will be able to act quickly and quietly. Some like to save the first tooth a child loses (or all of them) as a special memento. If you want to save the tooth, make sure to store it in a safe place where it won't get lost or damaged. The child can leave the note under his or her pillow the next night, and you can pick it up then. This is a good way to teach gratitude and good communication skills. If the child asks if the tooth fairy is real, ask him or her "Why do you ask?" or "Why do you want to know?" Sometimes, the child just wants to be reassured. If the child really wants to know the truth, you can explain how much fun kids have anticipating the tooth fairy, and how parents and other caregivers love to see children happy because the tooth fairy "visited" them. You can also let your child know about traditions in other countries; for instance, in Spain, a mouse named Ratocinto Perez visits instead of a fairy. Interesting facts like this can make the "truth" about the tooth fairy more fun.

summary: Leave the special gift for the child. Save the tooth, if you want. Have the child write a thank-you note to the tooth fairy. Be considerate if your child wants to know more about the tooth fairy.

Summarize the following:
Asking questions is a great way to learn more about the perspective of the other person. Questions will also allow the person to indirectly know that you value his thoughts and feelings. Being open to whatever the person might have to say is a sign of compassionate communication. Make sure your questions are open-ended, allowing the person to choose how to respond. Leading questions, or questions that are attempting to persuade someone else of the correctness of your own point of view, don't show respect for the other person's feelings. If you ask questions that can be answered with yes or no, make sure you allow the person time to provide additional clarification if he chooses. It's vital that you have a way to express your emotions, but in order to be sensitive to another person's feelings you may have to take care in how you do this. Sticking to statements that start with "I" will help you say what you're feeling without appearing to blame another person. For example, "I'm feeling sad about what you just said, because it reminds me of an experience I had in high school" will be kinder than "You're wrong, because when I was in high school, this happened to me." If you're expressing empathy with the other person in the conversation, chances are he'll be able to respond to your feelings with empathy as well. When offering feedback, make sure to offset any negative criticism with an equal or greater affirmation of what you find the person doing well. Be very free to find areas that you feel you can genuinely appreciate, and be sparing (but direct) with any criticism. Being sensitive to someone's feelings doesn't mean pretending to be someone you're not. However, before you offer your opinion or ideas about another person's experience, always check and make sure that the person wants your honest opinion. Focusing your feedback on the person's actions, rather than who she is as a person, may help prevent hurt feelings. If a person is going through a hard time, try not to say things like "Everything happens for a reason," or "I know exactly how you feel." Your intentions may be good, but telling someone that his bad experience may be "a blessing in disguise" is insensitive to your friend's feelings. Instead, acknowledge the person's feelings. Some variation of "I'm sorry this happened," is likely to be met with appreciation, as are statements like "What you're going through sounds really hard." It's okay to let him know that you don't know what his experience is like. If you've been through something similar, acknowledge that what he's going through may be different from your own. Your nonverbal communication may be even more important to another person's interpretation of your message than your words. While the particulars of body language will vary by culture, in general the following are suggested as a way to communicate respect: Making frequent eye contact while you speak. This will allow another person to realize that you're sincerely attempting honest communication. However, eye contact shouldn't be sustained for long periods of time, or it may be interpreted as aggression. Direct your body towards the other person as you talk. Intermittent, light touches on the person's outer arm may communicate friendliness and support. More sustained pressure may not be welcome, or may feel either aggressive or flirtatious. It can be a good idea to ask someone if it's okay before offering even a light touch. Then, respect the person's response. Keep your arms uncrossed and relaxed. Make sure your facial muscles are relaxed, and smile if this comes easily to you.
summary: Ask questions. Choose the best way to express your feelings. Affirm the positive when offering criticism. Avoid platitudes and cliches. Use body language to communicate respect.
