Problem: Article: If you are having a large, formal reception, you could have your DJ or band leader announce your children individually or as a group. Let them walk in to applause and cheers! Consider letting your children pick the music they would like playing as they walk in. " After you and your spouse have your first dance as a married couple, invite your children on the dance floor with you to share a "first family dance." Let your children decide on the song. Make it a special moment for your new family. This dance could be sweet and emotional, or you could find a favorite family dance song and go wild. Let your children take charge and determine what kind of mood they would like to set, and help them choose a song accordingly. As with the ceremony, there are lots of little jobs that can be done at a reception. These tasks can help children feel important and included, as well as giving you one less thing to worry about! If you did not have a guestbook or picture at your ceremony, you could put one out to sign at your reception, and put a child in charge of it. Have your children come up with a playlist of their favorite songs, or the family's favorite songs, for the DJ. An older child could even play DJ for the night if you are having a more informal reception. A child could be in charge of a gift table or helping guests find their place cards. The whole family could participate in cutting the cake. Some families have added cake toppers for each member of their family! Older kids could make a toast, give a speech, read a poem, or say a prayer before the meal.
Summary: Give them a formal entrance. Share a "first dance. Give them a job.

Problem: Article: The days of thinking it acceptable to keep a pet rabbit in a small, isolated "hutch" are in the past. Rabbits need a dry, clean, ventilated, safe, well-placed, and relatively roomy home to thrive. Modern outdoor "hutches," with multiple levels and/or rooms, are suitable for pet rabbits. You can also construct your own bunny home. Look for plans online, but make sure the home will be secure and relatively weather-tight. As 1 example, you can create an exercise pen (or "rabbit run") for your bunny to use daily out of wooden framing, rabbit fencing, and a plywood top and bottom. It should be at least 8 by 2.75 by 2.75 feet (2.44 by 0.84 by 0.84m) to give your rabbit enough room to run and hop about. As noted, domesticated rabbits can die simply from the shock of seeing a predator, so making sure other animals can't get in and your bunny can't get out are essential. If you've ever had wild rabbits invade your flower bed or garden patch, you know they'll eat just about anything. So, especially if your rabbit ever runs free in your enclosed yard, avoid having poisonous plants around. Also, anywhere your rabbit will be, take care to secure electrical wiring and keep it out of tooth-range. There are many plants that can be toxic for rabbits, including aloe, begonia, daffodil bulb, Easter lily, and geranium. Check before you give anything new to your rabbit. When it comes to an outdoor rabbit home, dampness leads to dirtiness leads to sickness, such as the "fly strike" as previously mentioned. Give your rabbit home a roof that resists rain it can be plywood, corrugated panels, or even plastic sheeting or a tarpaulin. Repair and replace the roof as necessary to keep the rain out. During heavy rain or snow, consider moving your rabbit (by having a mobile home or second home) to a drier location such as a porch, garage, basement, or just in the main house. A bad thunderstorm can frighten a pet rabbit to death, so bring it in if possible. If you've spotted wild rabbits near your home in the summertime, they've probably been lounging in the shade or in a hole they've dug in your yard. Rabbits like to stay comfortably cool year-round. Place your rabbit's home in a shady area, and/or provide shade with a roof or screening material. Make sure the enclosure is well-ventilated to prevent overheating, however. You can also try freezing plastic water bottles and putting them in the enclosure. This will provide your rabbit with some cool spots to lounge. Make sure your rabbit always has a fresh water supply in warm weather. With a properly insulated and protected home, rabbits can withstand the winter cold, although you may consider just keeping them inside at least at night during the coldest time of year. Before winter arrives, repair the rabbit's home, taking special care to fix any leaks or damp spots. Damp is bad, and damp and cold is especially bad for rabbit health. Add additional bedding as insulation. You can also line walls and floors with layers of newspaper. Consider covering areas of fencing with plastic sheeting, and covering the home with a tarp or blanket at night. You want to reduce drafts and hold in warmth, but make sure you allow some ventilation. You can purchase special heaters for a rabbit home, but make sure any electrical wiring is out of reach. There are also special bunny heating pads, or you can just nestle (securely closed) plastic bottles full of warm (not hot) water in the bedding several times per day. Check on your rabbit friend more often than usual in cold weather. Make sure its water supply is not frozen, and provide extra food to give it the energy it needs to fend off cold weather.
Summary: Prepare a proper home. Protect your rabbit from predators and itself. Keep things dry. Beat the summer heat. Make winter warmer.

Problem: Article: This, of course, should only be done when there is no harm that can come to your child or anyone else. For example, if your child is in the habit of throwing their juice when in their high chair, let them throw the cup. Before handing them the cup, remind them of the rule and the consequences: "Remember, if you throw your cup, your juice will spill and you won't have any juice to drink." A mess on the floor might be annoying for you, but there's a good chance you'll need to clean the floor after a 2 year old's meal anyway. After they throw their cup on the floor, the 2 year old will undoubtedly ask for their juice. Point out that since they threw the juice, there is no more juice for them. For example: "I'm sorry, Kate, but your cup is empty now because you threw it on the floor. You don't have any more juice." You might need to explain the consequence more than once, until your toddler makes the connection between throwing the juice and not being able to have it. If they cry out "But I want my juice!" calmly reply that "When you throw your cup and spill your juice, there is no more juice to drink." Even if they throw a tantrum, hold firm and remain calm. Ignore them (without leaving the room) until they've calmed down, and don't relent and give them more juice. The next time the 2 year old is in a high chair, remind them not to throw their cup, or else there will be no more juice for them. It may take a few tries, but they'll eventually make the connection. For instance, once you hand them the juice cup, say "Now Jordan, remember that if you throw your juice cup, you won't have any more juice to drink."
Summary:
Permit the behavior that will provide natural consequences. Explain the natural consequence. Reinforce what happened. Offer reminders when they're in the same situation.
