Q: File Explorer is the folder-shaped icon next to the Start menu. You can find "Desktop" in the left-hand sidebar of the File Explorer menu. This will open the Control Panel app, from which you can alter your system's settings. You can also open Control Panel by holding down Win and tapping X, then clicking the "Control Panel" option in the resulting pop-up menu. This section of Control Panel lets you alter you time and date, preferred language, and regional location. "Region" is at the bottom of the "Clock, Language, and Region" menu. You can select a regional location from this section. This will prompt a drop-down menu with different country options. Changing this option is helpful if you recently moved or if you never set your country to begin with. If you don't see your country immediately, try scrolling down. You have successfully changed your regional location settings!
A: Click the "File Explorer" icon. Click the "Desktop" option. Double-click the "Control Panel" option. Double-click the "Clock, Language, and Region" option. Click "Change Location" under the "Region" section. Click the "Location" tab. Click the field under "Home location". Select your country of residence. Click "OK" to confirm your changes.

Q: It is important that you discuss how the child should be disciplined if the rules are broken with the parents of the child. Ask them how they discipline the child, and what their expectations are when it comes to you taking care of the child and applying discipline if the rules are not followed. It is important to discuss this with the parents so that there are not any misunderstandings. If you don't discuss this, you may use different discipline techniques than the parents. Not only will this cause confusion and stress for the child, but it may also cause tension in your relationship with the parents. In all likelihood, the rules you use with the child will be the same as the ones the parents use. However, you might ask the parents to include one or two new rules to the list that relate specifically to how the child is expected to behave when you are the caretaker. For example, you might include a rule that explicitly states that when you're taking care of the child, you are in charge, and the child is expected to do as you say. It is probably also a good idea to sit down with the child (if they are old enough to understand), with the parents, in order to go over all of the rules (including any new rules). This will help the child understand that the rules apply in your presence, and will let them know that you are well aware of the rules, too. This is perhaps the most important thing to remember. Sometimes it will be easier to just let the child do what they want. However, it is important that you also follow all the rules, and apply consequences for the rule if it is broken. This is important because if the child knows you don't follow the rules rigidly, then they are more likely to misbehave in your presence. Additionally, it is also likely that they will begin to question the authority of their parents. If you find that there are certain rules that aren't working, or if you have suggestions for new rules that you think could help a naughty child learn to behave, then talk with the parents about it. When doing so, be respectful. Don't tell them, "You're doing this, and it's dumb. It's not working, you should do this." Instead, if you find a rule isn't working and want to suggest a new idea, say, "I've been working with [insert child's name] about not breaking this rule, but he seems to be having trouble with it. What would you think about trying out this approach?" You don't want to make the parent feel as though you are insulting their parenting. Rather, you want to show that you're interested in helping improve if there is a way to do so, but without treading on their authority. When you are finished with your caregiving duties, you should briefly chat with the parent about how the child behaved, and if any disciplinary action was needed. This will help the parents understand what is working and what isn't, and will also allow you a chance to suggest any ideas you may have. Just as you should never hit your own children as a means of discipline, you should certainly never use physical violence to discipline children you are taking care of. If the parents suggest using violence as a means of discipline, politely explain to them the problem with this type of discipline. Respectfully explain that you will not engage in this type of discipline, and suggest an alternative. If they insist, you should probably consider backing out of the agreement. If you're worried for the safety of the child, contact the authorities. Unfortunately, it is legal to hit children in all US states, but the law varies from state to state about what is legal and what isn't. If you're concerned, it is better to contact the authorities than to stand aside and let a child endure abuse.
A: Discuss discipline with the parents. Set rules. Be consistent. Make suggestions to the parents. Keep the parents updated. Avoid violence.

Q: Your parents will be able to forgive you more easily if they feel heard and understood. Shutting up and listening can stop arguments and reduce emotional intensity. Staring blankly at your parents as they speak will likely upset them. You should nod and display appropriate expressions, so they know you are listening, and not tuning them out. Ask questions to clarify and check your understanding. This will demonstrate that you are processing what they are telling you. For example, you could say something like, "I'm hearing you say that you're angry that I stayed out past curfew without clearing it with you. Is that right?" When it is time for you to talk, use the whole message formula to avoid misunderstandings. Start your statement with an observation of facts. This is usually a description of a behavior. Then explain what you interpret that behavior to mean and how that makes you feel. You should finish with what you would like to happen to focus the discussion on resolution. For example, "I ditched school to hang out with friends. I knew it was wrong, but I was thought it would make me seem cool. I was afraid I would be teased and embarrassed if I didn't go with everyone else. I would like some help coming up with good ways to resist peer pressure to better handle this kind of situation in the future." Your feelings about what your parents or the situation may affect your communication. The same sentence said in different tones can mean wildly different things. Feelings of frustration may result in a sarcastic tone or shouting before you even realize it. Try to remain objective and focus on communicating your message rather than your emotion. If your parents do comment about your tone, apologize and explain your experiencing frustration trying to clearly communicate your message.
A:
Listen more than you talk. Communicate whole messages. Be mindful of your tone.
