How to fix a squeaky desk chair
Check the nuts, bolts, and screws.
The first thing to do is turn the chair over, and look at all hardware. Get a screwdriver or wrench and tighten any loose ones.

OPTIONS:
- Replace these screws with new ones you'll need, and make sure they're not too small to open. Inspect the chair and check for cracks, dents, tears, or scratches.
- Your teacher might not tell you to turn anything, but if there is a screw in one of the nuts, pull it out and see if there is anything you can do to get the chair in another position. Check the plastic caps at the bottom of the chair; these are usually difficult to loosen.
- Even try to tighten the parts that don't appear loose. Over time, it is easy for screws and bolts to become loose, causing certain chair parts to rub together irregularly and create a squeaky noise.
- You can have your helper take pictures of you doing the exact same thing. Then provide your helper with your cell phone and microphone, and ask your helper if everything looks good.

How to stop a tv addiction (for kids )
Encourage your child to read a book instead of watching cartoons.
Instead of immediately turning on the tv after school, sit down with your child to read a book. Reading will promote your child's imagination and help learn new vocabulary words.

OPTIONS:
- Give your child a hobby, favorite television show, or favorite stuffed animal. Draw pictures of favorite faces, clothing, food, etc.
- Children younger than 4 should take the initiative to read at school. Ask your child if she/he is interested in a particular story because everyone wants a story with a larger subject and more interesting characters.
- Find books on things your child is interested in, like dinosaurs, dogs, or airplanes. If your child does not want to read, reward them with one episode of a cartoon for reading for a half hour.
- You can also offer your child pamphlets to help them learn more. Encourage your child to look at books as a form of entertainment or something more fun.
