Q: This will form a decorative waistband that you'll attach to the leggings with hot glue. You can cut any pattern you desire into the sequin fabric, like wavy lines or straight lines, for example. You'll need the gold sequin fabric to be long enough to fit around the waistband of your leggings. Lay the leggings out flat on your work surface with the front side facing up. Apply a line of hot glue to the waistband of the leggings. Then: Quickly press the front of your cut, gold sequin decorative waistband into place on top of it. Take care not to burn yourself on hot glue. Repeat this process on the reverse side of the leggings so that your gold sequin waistband wraps all the way around and is on top of the waistband of the leggings. If you find your pants to be a little plain, you can accent them in the same way you did to the top of the costume. You could use more circular, gold dot stickers, perhaps up and down the side of each leg. You might also want to use your glue to attach other decorations, like fake gemstones and more.
A: Cut your gold sequin fabric. Hot glue your gold sequin waistband to the leggings. Add accents, if desired.

Q: Decrease the arguments and petulance of assigning chores by setting and enforcing a consistent time they occur. Tie them to a regular reward whenever possible. For example: Instead of serving dessert at the end of dinner, serve it after the table is cleared and dishwasher loaded. Afternoon snacks will hit the table after the trash is taken out. Beds must be made before going outside to play. The family pet must be fed before humans have breakfast. Establish routines around chores that reflect consistent instructions that are given one step at a time. Then have your child repeat the instruction then getting praise at each step. For example: Loading the dishwasher: First load all the plates on the bottom. ("Great job!"). Now load all glasses on the top. ("Excellent!"). Next is silverware Laundry: First find all the pants and put them into a stack here. ("Awesome!") Now put shirts in a stack there. ("Super-duper!"). Socks then have the child fold each stack, then put the stacks in his or her room, one stack at a time. Use calendars, written schedules and chore boards to remind your child of chores that need to be done. These tools remove the "I forgot" excuse. Whenever possible, find ways to make chores more fun and help remove the stress of the task. You need to teach your child compliance, teamwork, and the need to pull his weightbut there's no reason it can't be fun at the same time. Belt out instructions in a variety of silly voices or have puppets give orders. Walk backward when checking progress and make back-up "beeps." Have your child dress like Cinderella on a chore morning and play music from the movie that she can sing to as she works. Keep an eye on your child's attitude. If you sense he or she is getting frazzled, make the next chore super silly or assign movement to it. Say to your child, "Pretend you are a shark as you put this book on my desk." Or, simply call for a cookie break.
A: Avoid chore wars with routines and consistency. Give instructions one step at a time. Post visual cues as reminders. Make chores more fun for your child.

Q: Meanwhile, prepare a baking dish by inserting an elevated cooking rack. If you don't have an elevated rack, crumple up several sheets of aluminum foil and scatter them across the bottom of the baking dish. You'll need to keep the pork belly elevated as it cooks to help the fat render more readily. Using a sharp knife, the skin of the pork belly in a cross-hatch pattern. Slice across the skin in vertical rows spaced 2 inches (5 cm) apart, then create a series of perpendicular slices that are also spaced 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Pierce through the tough skin and the top layer of fat, but do not cut too deeply into the actual meat lying beneath the two. Scoring the meat in this manner will allow more of the fat to render out during the roasting process. Place the pork belly on your prepared baking rack with the skin-side facing up. Rub the top with oil, then generously season the meat with salt and pepper. In addition to seasoning the meat, the oil and salt make it easier for the fat to render out, resulting in crispier skin. Apply the seasonings by hand, and work the salt and pepper into the slits across the skin. Note that salt and pepper should withstand the roasting process without deteriorating, but other spices and herbs might burn. If you decide to add others, do so within the final 30 minutes of cooking. Place the seasoned pork belly in the preheated oven. Roast it for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the skin browns and begins to look crispy. This brief period of high heat will not cook the pork through, nor should you cook the pork belly at this high heat for the entire time. The intense heat is only meant to crisp the skin. Do not wait for the skin to become dark brown or fully crisped since it will continue cooking at a lower temperature. Cooking it for too much time at a high heat could cause it to burn before the rest of the meat finishes. Decrease the temperature without removing the pork belly. Allow the meat to cook for another 2 to 2-1/2 hours, or until done. Check the pork belly halfway through the cooking process. If the fat gets too hot, it may start to smoke, and you'll need to transfer the meat to a clean baking dish. The pork belly must reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) before you remove it from the oven. After removing the pork belly from the oven, allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving it. During this time, the juices should distribute themselves and settle within the meat. Roasted pork belly will have crispy skin, but the inner meat should be tender and moist. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. When reheating the leftovers, sear the slices in a skillet so that the skin remains crispy.
A:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Score the meat. Rub in the oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Decrease the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve while still hot.
