Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a list of what is important to you. Choose values that cause an emotional response. Question yourself. Use your values to make changes.

Answer: When you don't know what you want, it can be helpful to get a clear idea of what your values are. Start by making a list of what is important to you. You can include abstract ideas, like love, or concrete things, like food. To help you identify your values, ask yourself these questions: Which moments in your life thus far have been the most satisfying or fulfilling? What was it about that moment that made you feel satisfied? If your house were on fire and you could only grab 3 objects (all pets and family members are already safe), what would they be? Why? What do these things represent to you? Think of two people you respect and admire. What characteristics do you admire the most about them? Why? What issues get you the most excited when you talk about them? Could you talk for hours about foreign policy, or fashion, or animal rights? Look at your answers to these questions and ask yourself if any themes, principles, or beliefs emerge from your answers. Once you have identified your values, you should find that making decisions that are in line with these beliefs will help you feel satisfied and happy. Values can seem too vague or philosophical to be helpful, but they can give you clues into which decisions and outcomes would be most satisfying. Values can be described as the combination of goals, beliefs, and positive or negative emotional attitudes. Values play an important part in emotional health because they can produce strong emotional reactions based on if our behaviors align with our values or not. When making your list, don't just put what you think you should put. Think about things that cause you to feel emotions. For example, if you value family time most but make the decision to continuously work 80 hour weeks, you may feel guilt or shame because you have violated a value that is important to you. If you value family time, make it a point to always be home by 5 p.m., and never work during family time, you might feel proud and fulfilled because your behaviors reflect your values. Knowing what you value can help you make decisions about what you want and don't want. If you've never thought about what you value, you may have a difficult time figuring it out. Ask yourself these questions to help you start thinking about what you value: At the end of your life, what will you want people to remember about you? That you contributed to science? That you loved your family? That you were honest? If you had to choose between work and family, which would be most important? What topics are you passionate about? Environmentalism? Women's rights? Finance? Use your passions to help you narrow down what is most important to you. If you could only save a few items from a house fire, what would they be? What about those items gives you clues about some of your core values? Write down the answers to the questions so you can see them. These answers gives you an outline of what you want in life. You can even add to this information as you continue to think about what is important to you. Once you have an idea of what you value most in life, you can begin to construct a clearer picture of what you want. Then, you can start making choices that align with your values. For example, if you highly value green energy and recycling, but the company you work for deals mainly in oil, you may feel dissatisfied with your job or even frustrated and angry because much of your work is supporting something that you don't agree with. You now can recognize this and work to find a job that also values green energy so they can align with your values.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your warranty. Buy a scratch repair kit. Try petroleum jelly for a temporary fix. Use a bit of toothpaste to buff out the scratch. Try rubbing compound for severe scratches. Use clear lacquer. Know that these methods are to be used at your own risk, and may damage your screen. Consider investing in a screen protector to prevent future scratches.

Answer: If your monitor has a scratch, you may be able to get it replaced. Check the warranty that came with your monitor to find out what your options are. Once you start trying to repair the scratch yourself, further damage may no longer be covered by your warranty. Computer stores and computer sections of department stores sell scratch repair kits for LCD monitors. Check online reviews to find out the best formulation for your particular scratch. Follow the instructions for applying the scratch solution to your screen. Use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer of jelly over the scratch. If the scratch is small, a bit of petroleum jelly is a safe option. It won't repair the scratch, but it will make it look more discreet. Make sure it is not the gel-type, as this will not work. Work the toothpaste over the scratch with a microfiber or other soft cloth. Let it dry, then wipe off with a clean, barely damp cloth. Rubbing compound can be found online or at auto supply stores. Be very careful when using this. Limit it to the damaged area only, and consider doing a spot test on the corner of your screen. Rub a very small amount on your screen with a q-tip, and work back and forth until the scratch is minimized. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off carefully. Clean the screen very well afterwards with a clean cloth and screen cleaning fluid or dilute vinegar. Consider this option for very old monitors, or where the scratch might get bigger if not addressed. This will cause a bit of haziness on the screen where the lacquer was applied. Cut a hole in a piece of paper. The hole should be slightly larger than the scratch. Use this to mask off the screen. and make sure everything is covered (keyboard, buttons, etc.) except the scratch. Spray a thin coat of lacquer onto the paper, over the hole, to "stencil" the lacquer onto the scratch. Remove the paper carefully afterwards, to avoid smearing. Alternately, clear nail polish applied to the scratch may also prevent it from becoming larger. Use a small brush or toothpick to carefully apply the lacquer to the scratch. Clear lacquer may be found in craft stores and places where spray paint is sold. Make sure the lacquer is completely dry before you turn on your screen. Always use lacquer in a well-ventilated area. Make sure your screen is completely clean before applying lacquer. For glare-reducing screens, this can create a "shiny spot" on the screen. Consider the risk of these options as trade-offs, rather than having an annoying scratch. Remember to use your best judgement and apply these methods conservatively. It's a small price to pay for a scratch-free screen!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make your goals SMART Ask you child to set their own goals. Work with your child's care team to assess their progress. Be patient Help your child cope with setbacks and disappointments. Celebrate your child's progress. Turn to your support network when you need extra help.

Answer:
. Goals are easiest to achieve when they are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Setting goals that are too vaguely defined or overly ambitious can lead to frustration for you and your child. For example, instead of setting a goal like "Katie will learn to walk," try something like "Let's talk to Katie's physical therapist about trying that 14-week power training program, and see if that improves her mobility." It's important that kids with CP feel empowered and involved in their own treatment and development. Talk to your child about what goals they want to achieve for themselves, and work with them and their care team to develop strategies for attaining those goals. Help your child formulate goals by asking them questions and encouraging them to talk about areas of their life that are important to them (e.g., socializing, sports, or play). For example, you might ask your child, "What's something new you'd like to try at school this year?" As you work toward your goals together, keep track of how your child is doing. Make note of any major successes or setbacks, and discuss them in meetings with members of your child's care team. If your child is struggling to meet a particular goal, talk about the possibility of trying a different approach. Sometimes, it may be necessary to revise your goals or adjust your expectations. Brainstorm with your child's care team, and discuss new approaches to the problem. If your child is old enough, involve them in discussions with their care team. They may be able to provide important insights into what works for them and what doesn't. . Your child may struggle to meet their goals, or it may take them longer to accomplish a particular goal than you anticipated. You and your child may both become frustrated along the way, and that's okit's perfectly normal. Stop what you are doing and take a break, if you need to. Always praise your child for working toward a goal, even if they don't have much success at first. Let them know that you are always there for them and want to support them in any way you can. Setbacks and challenges are an inevitable part of working toward any goal. Help your child deal with their feelings of disappointment, frustration and stress by: Observing your child's moods and noticing when they are experiencing stress or negative emotions related to difficulty meeting their goals. Encouraging your child to talk about how they are feeling, and recognizing their feelings without judgment. Listening actively to your child and validating their feelings. You might say something like, "It sounds like you feel really frustrated right now. It's okay to feel that way. I'm proud of you for trying so hard." Offering positive touch (such as hugs, high-fives, or pats on the back), when your child wants it. Acknowledging your child's progress and achievements can help them feel empowered and increase their sense of well-being. Focus your praise on the effort your child is putting in toward achieving a goal, rather than on the end result. This will encourage them to keep working toward their goals and pushing their boundaries. For example, you might say, "Wow, you're getting better and better at using your crutches! All that work you've been putting in is really paying off!" Helping a child with CP can be challenging and stressful. If you find yourself getting overwhelmed, reach out to friends and family for help and support. Ask your child's doctor to recommend a support group for parents of kids with cerebral palsy. If you are really struggling emotionally, or if you need practical advice on time management and coping skills, consider seeing a therapist.
