INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is important to discuss feelings with your toddler. Through your discussion of how they feel, they begin to learn words associated with those feelings and can later use those words to talk out their feelings. This will help them transition to talking about feelings instead of acting out their frustrations. You might say something like "I know you are sad that it is bedtime, but we can play with your toys again tomorrow." It is important to observe how your children play and act out to understand their feelings. By watching and understanding your toddler's feelings you can more effectively discuss them. You can also teach your toddler to express their feelings in more socially constructive ways. If your toddler is angry, you might say something like "I know that you are upset that the candy is gone, but you cannot hit people. Instead, you can show us you are upset by taking a deep breath and just telling us you are upset." Toddlers need to understand what is expected of them. They will naturally push the boundaries, but if you set firm limits and give explanations for those limits, most toddlers will begin to respect the rules. This gives them the structure and boundaries they need to feel secure. Emphasize the positive aspects of rules with your toddler. For example, explain that the your child must get enough sleep tonight so that he or she can have more fun tomorrow. Babies do not interact very well with each other, but once children start to reach the toddler phase, they begin to socialize a bit with other kids. Encourage your toddler to make friends, and teach him or her how to do things like introduce him or herself. This is one of the early milestones in socializing your child. Do not be surprised if your toddler plays more "beside" the other children than they play "with" the other children. Parallel play is common in this stage.

SUMMARY: Teach your toddler about feelings. Observe your toddler's feelings. Discuss limits with your toddler. Encourage your toddler to make friends.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're forming a dance routine, you'll need to choose a musical accompaniment. Choose a song that you like, first of all, as you'll dance better if you're enjoying yourself. You're more likely to have fun dancing to a song you love. Also, keep in mind the style of the music and how it matches the routine you're creating. For example: If you want to do a graceful, ballroom style routine choose a slow song. If you want a fun, peppy routine look into dance music and club music. Dancing is like any other practice. You can learn a lot through simple observation. If you want to create a dance routine, spend a lot of time exploring dance routines online. Browse YouTube, or other video sites, for dance routines. Type the name of the dance into the search box, or type "dance routine." Consider attending a dance class just to observe. Talk to a local dance instructor and see if they would let you come watch a class. Watch for events in your town or area that involve dancing. If affordable for you, consider buying tickets to events that involve dancing. This can help you find inspiration. Dancing is an art and people study for years to dance properly. Even if you're just forming a dance routine for fun, studying dancing can help. Enroll in a dance or choreography class. Learn about the art and style of dance from trained professionals. Go to your local library or bookstore and find books about dancing and choreography. After getting inspired and studying a variety of dance styles, put it all together. Using the moves you've learned, altered, or created, put together a fun routine for yourself. Remember to pay attention to the beat and style of the music. It might be a good idea to record yourself dancing and watch the recording. This way, you can see where your routine might need improvement. Dancing requires a certain level of mastery that can only be achieved through practice. Try to make time each day to dance. Work practicing your routine into your schedule as you would brushing your teeth or eating dinner. Set aside an hour each day to work on your routine.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're upset about a situation that recently occurred, take some time to blow off steam before talking to your spouse about it. Initiating this conversation when you're emotional may not get you the results you desire. Wait until you're calm. To manage anger or frustration, go for a walk around the block. Do some light stretches. Or take several deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Pull your spouse aside once you're calm and explain the situation. This can be a tough predicament since your spouse may feel torn between you and their parents. Avoid coming off as accusatory by using "I" statements. You might say something like, "I feel helpless when your mother comes over and brings the kids candy. I have asked her not to, but she keeps doing it." Discussing difficult matters regarding family can create tension. However, if you and your spouse can't get on the same page, you'll have a hard time getting your in-law to change their behavior. Remember that you both want the same thingsto live your life without being controlled by your in-law. Stay focused on the common ground between you to avoid a rift. You should approach your in-law about the issue as a unified front. Keep the issues happening with your in-law separate from your relationship with your spouse. Don't blame your spouse for their parent's behavior. After you've shared your feelings about your overbearing in-law, take an objective approach. Take a step back and get a clearer view of the situation. What's happening that you don't want to happen? What needs to happen to make the situation better? For instance, you both agree that your mother-in-law needs to respect your parenting decisions whenever she's in your home. Therefore, you might create a boundary stating that.

SUMMARY:
Gain control of your temper first. Tell your spouse how you feel using "I" statements. Get on the same team. Clarify your boundaries.
