Problem: Article: It's not easy when you see your child struggling to communicate, and sometimes it's frustrating if they're often repeating things when you'd like quiet time. Remember that the child is trying to communicate when doing this. They simply don't have the same language skills that you do yet. Take deep breaths. If you need to, go into a different room for a little while if you get very frustrated and take some deep breaths and collect your thoughts. Remember that the child is probably frustrated too. (They certainly aren't having meltdowns for the fun of it.) Take care of yourself. Parenting can be exhausting sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with admitting that. Take baths, practice yoga, allow yourself time with other adults, and consider joining a community group of parents or caregivers of autistic/disabled children. Kids learn language skills by listening to others. Speak to your child, even if they don't show an obvious response. They might start responding someday. Treating them like they're intelligent can make a big difference. Remember that behavior can be communication. For example, if you say "Did you have a good day at school today?" and your child grins, coos, and flaps their hands, then you have your answer! Some parents fall into the trap of thinking a nonspeaking or thoughtful autistic child isn't listening to them. In reality, your child can probably hear and understand you just fine. Turning thoughts into spoken words can be challenging for some autistic kids. While you can't always fix it, you can show them that you care. Try saying "I don't know what you mean right now, but I care what you have to say." This can be handy when they are struggling with words. Try to figure out in words what they are trying to say. Then, ask them to confirm it. This can reduce misunderstandings and frustration. Teach them to give you a thumbs up or thumbs down. If they forget, prompt them by showing a thumbs up or thumbs down with your hand. Try saying "Is that right? If so, give me a high five." If they hit or tap your hand, you'll know that you understood them correctly. Show them two hands. "Label" each hand with an option, like "Touch this hand if you want to go home and this one if you want to stay." Let them choose what to touch. The right form of AAC can reduce frustration (for both you and your child) by helping them communicate while they learn to speak more easily. A good speech and language pathologist (SLP) can help your child learn to use AAC. If your child can speak normally most of the time but struggles when overwhelmed, a form of AAC may help for when they're having a tough time. Learning to communicate can be a challenge, and it helps when you recognize the child's efforts. A little praise can help reinforce those skills and help the child feel good about themselves. "Great job telling me how you feel, Emerson! Thank you for letting me know you're sad. What do you think would help you feel better?" "Thanks for telling me it's too loud in here. Do you want a break?" "Great job with thumbs up/thumbs down! You're getting very good at that." If autistic children don't feel pressured to respond immediately, they can feel more relaxed and use language better. Be patient and make it clear that you're happy to hear what they have to say, no matter how long it takes for them to say it. Allow pauses in the conversation for your child to think. Forming a coherent response may take a lot of cognitive energy for them.
Summary: Handle any frustrations on your end. Talk to them. Show empathy when your child is struggling to communicate. Teach your child to communicate a "yes" or "no" nonverbally. Consider augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for a child who has limited communication skills. Praise assertive communication. Stay patient and give your child time.

Problem: Article: Although some people are opposed to freezing garlic, as it is said to change the texture and flavor, freezing can be a good option for those who use garlic infrequently or for people with leftover cloves that they don't want to go to waste. You can freeze garlic in one of two ways: You can freeze whole, unpeeled garlic cloves by wrapping them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or popping them in a freezer bag, and placing in the freezer. You can then remove individual cloves as needed. Alternatively, you can peel the garlic cloves, crush or chop them finely and place the garlic in a plastic freezer bag or wrap it in some plastic freezer wrap. If the garlic becomes stuck together when frozen, you can grate off as much of the frozen garlic as needed. Another easy way to preserve your garlic is to dry it out. Dried garlic will condense, so a even a large amount of garlic will take up very little space in your pantry. When used in cooking, the dried garlic will absorb water and give great flavor to your dish. There are two ways to dry garlic, depending on whether you have a food dehydrator or not. You can dry garlic in a food dehydrator by peeling the cloves and cutting them in half lengthwise. You should only use plump, unbruised cloves for dehydrating. Place them on the tray of your dehydrator and follow the manufacturers instructions for best heat settings. The garlic is completely dried when it becomes crisp and brittle. If you don not have a food dehydrator, you can use the same process, using the oven instead. Place the halved garlic cloves on a baking dish and bake at 140F (60C) for two hours. Then turn the heat down to 130 and continue to bake until the garlic is fully dried..
Summary: Freeze garlic. Dry garlic.

Problem: Article: When you first get your cookware, treat it like you would any other cookware. Wash it in warm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it completely. Season your cookware with oil to help prevent food from sticking to it. Never immerse hot cookware in cold water. Rather, allow your pans to cool completely before washing. Cold water can warp a hot pan. This is only relevant for hot pans and cold water. Putting hot pans in hot water or cold pans in hot water will not warp your cookware. Wash your cookware by hand. Use a mild dish washing liquid and hot or warm water. Clean your cookware as soon as possible after using it. This will help maintain it and make washing it easier.
Summary:
Wash your cookware before you use it. Prevent warping while washing your pans. Wash with soap and hot water.
