Problem: Article: Having outside lights on at night can attract flies, mosquitoes, and other pests. The presence of insects will, in turn, attract more spiders. Shut off outside lights at night to keep the perimeter of your home insect-free. Spiders tend to burrow in the leaves and folds of plants. Try to arrange outdoor plants so they are at least 1ft (0.30m) away from the sides of your home. You can also spread diatomaceous earth, a white powder made of fossilized remains of algae, around plants or spray it on plants to kill spiders. Avoid planting plants that will try to grow on the sides of your home, such as ivy or tall shrubs. Inspect the exterior of your home to ensure you do not have any cracks in the foundation or gaps forming in your roof or under your doors. Fix any gaps, cracks, or holes by filling them with cement or filler. You should also do regular maintenance on the outside of your home to ensure spiders cannot get in by checking for gaps or cracks once a month and fixing them as needed.
Summary: Turn outside lights off at night to deter bugs that spiders like to eat. Keep outdoor plants away from the sides of your home. Fill any gaps or cracks on the outside of your home.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Eye contact doesn't always indicate that someone is trying to hide something from you or that they're being sneaky, especially in young children. If a child student avoids eye contact, it may indicate (as with some older children or adults) that they are shy. Avoiding eye contact may also indicate that the child did something that they feel badly about, such as knocking something over or wetting their pants. If your child student won't make eye contact, stay positive and reassure them. You might say, "I know that you are feeling badly, and I want you to know that everything is okay. I care about you and want to talk about what's bothering you." Children learn how to communicate from the adults around them, especially body language. Just like with adults or older kids, children that stands with their arms folded are comforting themselves. They may or may not know that they're feeling apprehensive, or that folding their arms is a reassuring and comforting maneuver. Don't force a child to uncross their arms or approach something that makes them apprehensive. Instead, tell them "Take your time. You're safe and I'm here with you," to encourage them to warm up to a person or object. Children may scratch their heads because they itch, just like anyone does. When children in the classroom scratch or touch their heads it might also be their way of expressing confusion. If you see a child scratch or touch their head, pause and ask if they understand the lesson. "Bobby, can you please ask me a question about this? It would be very helpful if you did so that we can make sure that everyone understands what we're talking about. Maria, I'd like you to think of another question about this lesson that we can answer after Bobby's question." If you have a child student that grabs their crotch or sits on one leg and rocks back and forth in their chair, ask them if they'd like to use the restroom. They are likely aware that they have the urge to use the bathroom, but might not be comfortable asking to go. Other signs include pointing to the crotch, crouching, standing in a corner, or even squatting. "Ravi, I think that you're telling me that you need to go potty. Great job communicating what you need! Let's try and go now and then we can come back and join the class."

SUMMARY: Notice a student who avoids eye contact. Decipher a student's folded arms. Figure out why a student might scratch their head. Notice a student holding their crotch.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Humor can oftentimes be an effective way to respond to an insult for several reasons. It weakens the insult, it lessens the tension in the situation, and it gets others on your side. Consider using humor the next time someone puts you down. You might find it appropriate to even exaggerate or extend the put down, which serves to further lessen the power of the insult. For example, if someone insulted you with the comment, "Your ears are so big," you could offer a humorous response by saying, "Oh yes. The better to hear you with, my dear" (a reference to Little Miss Riding Hood). Laughing at an insult can be a very powerful response. Laughter makes the insult seem insignificant, and it also communicates that you were not hurt by the insult. Furthermore, it takes away the emotional power that the insulting person was hoping to gain from putting you down. Bullies are typically looking for a reaction or disagreement from you to fuel their desire to cause you pain. Instead of giving the bully what she is looking for, give her the unexpected by agreeing with whatever she said to insult you. Just say something like, "You are so right. I couldn't agree more," and keep agreeing as she continues the insult. She will get bored of teasing you of you don't provide a reaction. The person launching the insult is probably seeking for you to engage negatively. By walking away, you are essentially ignoring the person's insult and the individual himself. Try to walk away the next time someone says something unkind. If you want, you can provide a brief comment as you walk away. For example, if your spouse were to say, "You are such a slob," you response could be, "Okay," and then walk away.
Summary:
Use humor. Laugh. Agree with the person. Walk away and ignore the bully.
