Article: .. at a glance over time. There may be the plastic ones that will float in the bath or magnetically stick to the refrigerator. Play with them with your child. Say the names of the things, shapes, colors etc that you play with. Do this throughout your play with the child. You are "teaching" words... without ever doing a vocabulary drill! Vary the manner of the game. Then you name (or let them name them if they should know) the geometric shapes as they show them to you (squares, triangles, circles, cubes, stars, etc.) and repeat this occasionally/several times. Let the child say the shapes/colors and use fun and teasing reminders if necessary. The child will consider it a fun "game" and not realize they are learning. It's simple addition and subtraction... but your child will be having too much fun playing with mom or dad to notice that they are "learning". Ask questions like: Which "family" of animals has more babies now? What will happen if the dog family sends puppy to visit grandma? How many dogs will be left at home then? Set out clear plastic cups in an area where spills can be cleaned up easily and put varying amounts of liquid (juice? Water?) into each. Let them experiment by pouring liquid from glass to glass. Ask them if the amount in each glass got bigger or smaller and is it more or is it less? If you want to take it a step further, use measuring cups for this activity with older kids (age 4-6) and talk about how four of the quarter cup measurements will fill the one cup measurer. Count how many plates as you put them on the table. Count eggs to be cooked. Talk about 1/2 of a candy, half of a drink, etc. Ask, "Is this half?" "Are both the same? They should both be exactly the same amount." 1 toy and 1 toy equals two toys. Hey! Do not immediately volunteer the answer. Leave room for them to "figure it out", but be ready with help when you sense them getting frustrated or bored. You're playing a game, not giving a structured school lesson. Never pressure, criticize or insist on participating or comment on in/consistently playing. It is just a game for them... for you it is a project. Let the child decide when and if its time to play the activities, games, or do something else. You can help to set the mood of course. Note:You see the length from above, yet the child may see the end or a corner view of the object... be aware that your perspective changes as you get lower, and your question may not then make sense to a child. Get down on their level before comparing things like length, thickness, etc.

Use extra larger dominoes or dice with dots to learn to recognize 1, 2, 3, or more dots. Get or make shapes (in solid colors for example) of geometry figures. Name everything aloud. Ask the child to sort and group colored objects (as a fun game) by color and you name the colors and repeat this from time to time, and let the child say the colors with gentle and fun reminders like a chart. Suggest that s/he sort and group objects by shape (and name if possible) while showing them to you. Group things into clusters of one, two, three and ask about the groups. Play with volume. Explain the work that you do (when they show interest); Let them "play-helping, measuring our and stirring in an ingredient" or to watch such work. Half things all of the time. Start to add when they understand counting 2 or 3 things -- after they can understand something about counting. Allow the child to come up with the answer on their own. Praise the results a lot.

Problem: Article: Kids are always paying attention to the things we do and say whether we realize it or not. One easy way to teach kids about friendship, then, is to let them see you being a good friend. Modeling friendship will give them an example of how friends act and reinforce some of the things you teach them about friendship. Let kids see you interacting with other people in a positive way. For example, allow them to overhear you greeting a friend or colleague warmly. For instance, you might tell your kids, "My friend is a little sad, so I need to be a good friend and try to cheer him up." Children of all ages enjoy spending time with their peers and socializing is an important part of their development. By providing structured and unstructured time for kids to socialize you can teach them about friendship. These opportunities will give them real-world experience in making friends and maintaining friendships. If you're a parent, then set up a play date for your kids. Stay for a while to monitor how the kids interact and to meet the other parents. If you are a teacher or mentor then try to encourage positive interactions between peers by assigning group activities and giving the kids opportunities to learn and play with one another. Just as kids watch adults, they also learn from other people and situations around them. There are examples of friendship all around that you can use to teach kids how to have positive social interactions. For example, if you're watching TV with your kids, you might say, " Wow! They seem like they're really good friends. Look at how they act with each other. "
Summary: Model being a good friend. Provide opportunities to socialize. Show them other friendships.

Pinch thin, vertical and horizontal sections of hair between your fore and middle fingers, then snip them with the hairdressing shears. Do one side first, then the other. Pinch some of the cut strand against the un-cut strands so that you know how much to cut off. To make sure the sides are even, pull the hair on both sides straight out, then visually compare them in the mirror. Comb the hair downwards, over the ears. Carefully cut into the hair around the ears, pointing the shears upwards. Use the natural hairline around the ears as a guide. Work your way back-to-front, then front-to-back. Begin by combing the hair on the back upward, then cutting whatever is sticking out of the comb. Work your way across the back and along the sizes. Finish off by pulling the hair away from the head with a comb, then going over it with a buzzer. Finish off the undercut by buzzing around the hairline along the nape and ears. If you are doing an undercut, consider blow drying the hair straight first. Pinch a vertical section of hair between your fore and middle fingers. Include a few cut strands from the back, and angle your fingers outward, away from your head. Cut the hair sticking out of the fingers. How much you angle your fingers depends on how long you want the top to be. The further you angle your fingers upwards, the longer the top will be. Work your way across the back of the crown, using the same angling technique as before. Use the same technique when you do the sides. If you have any hair left over on the top, measure it up against the already-cut strands on the tip of the angles. For the top of the head, gather the hair parallel to the hair line and cut straight across. Then, you need to check the hair on the top of the head against the other sections and the sides of the head. If you don't cut enough from the top, then you could end up with a mushroom shape. Leave the bangs alone for now.
