article: You only want what's best for your child, and when you think they should be at a certain level and they aren't, it can be frustrating for a parent. However, your child will learn language at their own speed, and it's important to be patient and encouraging with them while they make sense of vocabulary and grammar. In most cases, there is nothing to worry about, but sometimes lack of speech, motor control, or other features can indicate a developmental delay in your child. Early recognition of a delay can frequently result in the issue being resolved. To this end, you may want to bring it to your pediatrician's attention if you notice: 3-4 months: poor head support, no babbling or infrequent noise-making, regular eye crossing, and a lack of social smiling. 4-7 months: overly stiff or floppy body, difficulty keeping head steady, difficulty sitting, lack of noise response/social smiling, lack of expressed affection toward caregivers, and doesn't interact with objects. 7-12 months: no crawling, lack of evenness while crawling (1 month after starting), can't stand with assistance, lacks curiosity (especially with hiding games like peek-a-boo), speaks infrequently, and doesn't use body language. 13-24 months: unable to walk by 18 months, cannot make sense or use of daily objects, cannot vocalize a minimum of 6 words by 18 months or 2-word responses by 24 months, doesn't repeat and mimic words and actions, cannot follow simple instructions, loses previously mastered skills. 3-5 years: speech delays (stuttering, lisping, difficulty with articulation), poor motor skills, and under-developed social/emotional skills. In the pre-linguistic stage (0-13 months) your child will babble, cry, coo, and imitate some sounds with poor control. Toward the end of this phase, they might even begin saying, "dadada" or "mamama." Encourage these sounds and connect each with actions and objects throughout this phase. In the holophrastic stage (10 - 13 months), your baby will mostly speak one word at a time, adding meaning through context and non-verbal cues. For example, they might say, "Dada" forcefully, indicating they want their father to come to them. The 2-word sentence phase (at about 18 months) is where your child will begin joining parts of speech together. They will often put nouns with adjectives or verbs with modifiers in expressions like, "Bottle give," "Where dada?", and "Not mama." In the multiple-word sentence stage (2-2.5 years) your child will start putting the rules of language together. At this point, they'll probably make many linguistic errors, like "I catched it" or "I falling off it." This is normal, and part of the learning process. Encourage their efforts so they know you are proud of their attempts at communication. When your child reaches the complex sentence phase (2.5-3 years) they will have some practice at speaking. They'll start trying to put their thoughts in more complicated patterns. There are frequently many errors at this stage. Do not punish your child for poor grammar; this can make them afraid of speaking and making an error. Instead, ask them to explain themselves and describe their thoughts. At the adult-like sentence stage (5-6 years), your child's grammar should be near native and their usage of even complex structures seamless. Continue to encourage reading and speaking around them, as this will still stimulate their linguistic centers and help them continue learning.

article: The next time your class has a team project coming up, don't rush to sign up with your BFF. Instead, give him a chance to offer to work together. If he keeps looking at you, give him an encouraging smile so he feels more confident approaching you. If you're feeling really brave, you could even ask him if he wants to work with you. Instead of surrounding yourself on both sides with friends, try to pick a more open area to sit in so that there is some space if he wants to come and sit next to you. This is especially a great idea if you are both in the same friend group and tend to end up in common areas, anyways. It'll be easy for him to move next to you so you can talk. If he does sit next to you, pay attention to how often his body brushes against yours and how interested he is in talking to you. Being in close proximity is a great way to get a better idea of whether or not he is into you. You could say something like, "I was thinking of going to the football game this weekend," or "That new movie is coming out on Friday. I've really been wanting to see it," and see how he responds. If he offers to go with you or suggests getting together to do the activity, he is definitely interested in spending more time with you. Even if you can't hang out one-on-one, he may indicate that he'd like to get a group of friends together to do something fun. This may be a way he can spend more time with you without risking being rejected if he isn't sure of how you feel yet. if he is interested in you. If you feel pretty certain that he likes you and you just have to know, you could definitely have a direct conversation with him. This can be a little risky, especially if you're friends, but it can also give you a lot of clarity. If you can, ask him in person. But, if you just can't bring yourself to do that, you could always send him a text or call him on the phone.

article:
Once the seedlings have established themselves, then the plants out so that there are 2 feet (0.61m) between them. If you are growing the plants in containers or otherwise want the plants to remain short and stunted, it is possible to leave only 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) between each seedling. Wait until the stems of the seedlings have already developed two sets of leaves before thinning them out. Keep the healthiest, strongest looking plants and remove the weakest. Four o'clock flowers are somewhat drought-resistant, but the should not be allowed to remain dry for more than a day or two. Try to give the plants at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water weekly, either by rainfall or hand watering with a hose or watering can. Note that flowers grown in a container will require more regular waterings than those grown outdoors. Choose a water-soluble, all-purpose floral fertilizer and apply it before a rainfall or when you water the plants. Choose a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer, which contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This type of fertilizer will promote an overall even state of health for the plant. Four o'clock flowers rarely have problems with insects and diseases, so pre-treatment for such conditions is highly discouraged. If problems do develop, treat the plants with an appropriate pesticide or fungicide. The product can either be organic or chemical. Each bush should grow a large tuber below ground. If you live in mild climates, you should be able to leave this tuber in the ground without causing damage to the plant. If you live in notably cold climates, however, you should dig it up in the late fall. Store the tubers in between layers of newspaper in cardboard boxes or wooden crates. You can also store the tubers in peat moss or sand. Do not use plastic containers or other closed boxes, since these can encourage the tubers to rot. Place the tubers in a garage, shed, or similar environment. They should remain dry and dark throughout the winter. Replant the tubers in the spring. Dig a hole large enough for the tuber in the same location it once grew. Place the tuber back in the ground, cover with soil, and care for the plant as before. If you do not want to dig up the tuber, you can usually protect it over the winter by covering the planting area with 1 or 2 inches (2.5 or 5 cm) of organic mulch. Organic mulch can include leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and newspaper. The mulch provides insulation and keeps the soil a little warmer. Note that in notably cold climates, mulch may not be enough to protect the tuber over the winter. If you are growing the plants in containers, it is also recommended that you spread mulch on top of the container during the spring or summer to help reduce the amount of water evaporation that takes place. This can help prevent the soil from drying out too severely.
