Problem: Article: It is important to make sure that you child's school routine will mesh well with your family's normal daily routine. Before you set up a daily school routine for your child, think about what your normal daily routine already looks like. Examine your normal daily routine to figure out how much time you have available to homeschool your children. Then, work within this amount of time. For example, if you find that you have four hours of time free each day, then this is the amount of time that you will have to homeschool your children. It is also a good idea to maintain your regular daily tasks in your schedule to help structure your days, such as getting dressed in the morning, running errands on a specific day, or preparing meals at a certain time. Setting a time boundary is important when you are homeschooling because this will help to prevent you from working too long or starting too late. Try to set a daily start time and identify the days of the week that will be "school" days. For example, you might decide to start school at 9am every day and end school at 3pm every day. Make sure that you make your kids aware of these start and end times, such as by posting them somewhere visible. It can be hard for kids to focus on one task for too long, so you might want to schedule tasks in 15 minute blocks. If your child ends up needing less time to complete a task, then that is fine. Just try to avoid scheduling tasks that might take more than 15 minutes to complete. For example, you might schedule a short reading or a worksheet for one 15 minute block. However, scheduling an entire book chapter, or a packet of worksheets would be too much for 15 minutes. Including meal and break times on the schedule is also important to maintain structure in your child's environment. Make sure that you include snack times, meal times, and other important breaks on the schedule. For example, you might schedule in a snack from 10 to 10:15am and then schedule lunch for 12:30 to 1:30pm. To ensure that your kids can always find out what tasks they should be working on at a given time, post the schedule somewhere that is easy for them to access, such as on the kitchen table or on the refrigerator. You might even want to take a few minutes each day to review the schedule with your kids and make sure that they know what tasks they will be working on and when they will be working on those tasks.
Summary: Keep your family's regular routine in mind. Determine when school will begin and end. Schedule tasks in 15 minute blocks. Include meal and break times on the schedule. Put the schedule somewhere visible.

Problem: Article: They should include long screws and wall anchors that will hold the straps firmly to your wall. You will not need to drill into the case itself using this method. Use a stud finder to search for wall studs. If possible, find two studs and secure the bookcase with two straps to ensure a good hold. Secure the bookcase into wall studs whenever possible, instead of using wall anchors. It is best to secure the bookcase without the books in it, and then fill it up once you are finished. Draw a vertical line. The two cross-hairs are the locations where you will drill your wood screws into the wall. Make sure the adhesive layer is facing down. You will peel back the clear plastic cover after you are done drilling. Use a cordless drill. The number of screws may depend on the brand of Velcro straps you use. If you couldn't find a stud, you will need to make pilot holes and insert the wall anchors. Then, screw the wood screws directly into the wall anchors, where your lines meet. Peel back the clear cover from the sticky adhesive and press the strap onto the top of the bookcase. For best results, don't remove the adhesive strip to realign, or it may lose some of its hold.
Summary: Purchase a set of Velcro straps. Use a stepladder and a pencil to draw a horizontal line where your bookcase meets the wall. Remove the books and move the bookcase away from the wall. Mark the stud locations with a pencil. Ask someone to line up the straps vertically and hold them in place. Drill the wood screws into the center of the straps, where there are holes for the screws. Move your bookcase back into place, at the level where your screws are placed in the wall.

Problem: Article: As you play the game, convince the other players that you are goofy and ridiculous. Say silly comments and tease other players, for instance. Act a bit clumsy as well. Then, when you are ready to make your move, lift up both of your arms so you can bump into another player. You can sway from side to side or almost spill your drink. This makes it more convincing when you bump into the other player. As you wave your arms around, bump into another player to make them drop their cards. As you do this, drop your cards nearby. This way, your cards get mixed up and you can switch some of their cards for your own. Make this look as natural as possible so you don't get caught. If you look like you are intentionally knocking their cards out, it will not look authentic. When you knock over their cards, say something like, "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. Let me get those for you," and quickly duck under the table. Pick up the cards into 2 loose piles, 1 for you and 1 for the other player. As you do this, select the cards that you want and put them in your pile. Rearrange the cards as quickly as you can. You can also reach for the cards as soon as it happens, though the other player may try to help pick them up. Make sure the other player cannot see you rearranging the cards. When rearranging the cards, include 1 of your "good" cards, such as a Reverse or Skip card. This way, the other player is not suspicious since you are giving them a "gift." The other player may interpret the card shuffle as a positive thing in their favor, when in reality you may give them 2-3 extra cards without them noticing. When you switch the cards, pay attention to the main colors of the other player's hand. For instance, if the player has a lot of blue cards, give them lots of blue cards. This way, they are less likely to notice you may have snuck a card from them.
Summary:
Wave your arms around the table so you look silly or intoxicated. Knock another player's cards out of their hand along with your own. Rearrange the cards on the floor out of view of the other players. Hand the cards back to the other player, including a powerful card. Swap similar colored cards so the other player is less suspicious.
