While a yoga mat isn't strictly necessary, it will make you more comfortable for this pose. You can also use a blanket if that's all you have. A towel or a clean bath mat are other good options. Get down on your knees first, placing them in the center of the mat. Then, lean forward on your hands to start positioning yourself. Put your hands flat on the mat. Place your hands about one hands-length away from the front of the mat. Your knees should be at a right angle, so shift around as needed to position them that way. Set your knees hip-width apart and your palms shoulder-width apart. Straighten out your back and look down at the floor, focusing your gaze between your hands. This pose is basically what you'd get into if you were going to play "horsey" for a little kid. You're on your hands and knees with your back straight.

Summary: Put a yoga mat down on the floor. Lower yourself to your knees and support yourself with your hands. Position yourself on the mat in table pose.

Screenplays have a particular format that requires tabbing and hitting Enter a lot if you are working in a word processing document. You can use software that does the formatting for you, such as Final Draft, Scrivener, and Move Magic. You will need to write the screenplay in the right format so it can be produced properly. There are several key formatting notes in a screenplay, including: The slugline: This appears in ALL CAPS at the beginning of each scene and explains the location and time of day. INT is used in the slugline if the scene is interior, or indoors, and EXT is used if the scene is exterior, or outdoors. For example: "INT. DINER - NIGHT" or "EXT. FIELD - DAY." Transitions: These show how the camera is moving from scene to scene. They appear in ALL CAPS. Common transitions include FADE IN, FADE OUT, CUT TO, and DISSOLVE TO. Character names: Your character names always appear in ALL CAPS in the screenplay. For example, "RON walks down the street" or "SARA shuts the bedroom door." You can find more detailed formatting information at Write a Screenplay. Think about films and movie characters you like as a viewer as inspiration for your movie. Use a childhood memory or an adult experience that you found interesting. Take a real life character and fictionalize them in your movie. Pick a particular time period, such as the 1970s, and create characters that would fit in that era. Use a historical event as inspiration for your movie. You can also take a historical setting and make it come alive in your movie. You can also write a movie based on a particular genre, such as romantic comedies, action movies, or horror flicks. A good screenplay will have a main character that is relatable to your audience. They can be a conventional good hero or heroine who saves the day. Or they can be a complicated, self-deprecating heroine who does not always do the right thing. Come up with a main character who is active and makes decisions, even if they are not always the best ones. For example, you may create a main character who is lonely and trying to find their true love at school. Or you may have a main character who works for a shady boss and wants to escape a life of crime.

Because family dynamics are such a huge factor, intervening with parents as early as possible can help prevent delinquency. Community programs that have nurses and social workers check in with new mothers and infants up to once a week can help encourage better oversight of children and prevent delinquency. If kids feel like they can talk to their parents about their home lives or things that are bothering them, they might be less likely to become delinquent. Community and school programs that provide a neutral environment and a mediator for those conversations can help improve family dynamics and reduce delinquency. If you are a parent that suspects your child might become delinquent, encourage them to talk to you by asking them about their day and their friends. The more open you are with your kids, the more likely they are to be open with you. The healthier a kid's relationship with their parents, the less likely they are to become delinquent. Schools and communities can set up activities that kids and their parents can participate in together. It provides a shared experience, and gives kids the chance to interact with their parents in a positive way. For example, some communities have child-parent swimming lessons and art activities. If you're a parent and your community offers shared activities, try to attend them regularly with your kids. If a child feels listened to and supported at home, they're less likely to become delinquent. An adult family member, whether it's a parent, older sibling, aunt, uncle, or grandparent, that acts as an ally and sounding board can keep kids from turning to delinquency. School counselors or social workers can work with kids to identify adults in their lives they can rely on. It might then be helpful for the counselor or social worker to meet with that adult and explain the importance of such a relationship. If the child doesn't have a family member who can provide support and encouragement, set them up with a mentor from outside the family. Programs like the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America program are great places to find these types of mentors. If you are a parent and work quite a lot, you can sign your child up yourself. This way, you know your kids are getting positive interaction with another adult, even when you can't be there.
Summary: Intervene with at-risk parents early and often. Encourage kids to speak with their parents. Make shared activities for parents and kids available. Look for a supportive family member. Set the child up in a mentoring program.
