In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As a parent, it's important that you build a foundation of trust. Trust translates to many roles in parenting. Of course, your child needs to know that they can rely on you to be there. When you say you'll do something, do it. Keep your word. This helps your child form basic secure attachments that will influence future relationships. However, trust also means respecting your child's need for privacy and keeping their confidences when they do share with you. Trust doesn't necessarily mean you believe whatever your child says, but it does mean you'll try and give them the benefit of the doubt. Parents are busy. But, you also want to make sure your children know that you care about what they have to say. Even if your child is complaining about the same issue at school or going on and on about teenage drama, try to give them your full attention. When you actively listen, you strengthen your bond with your child and demonstrate their importance to you. Silence your phone and shut off the TV. Don't zone them out in order to prepare your response. Truly listen to your child and try to understand their message. Turn to face them. Make eye contact. Use open body language. Listen without judgment or negative facial expressions. Once they're finished speaking, summarize what you heard. For instance, your daughter says, "All the girls at school are going to this camp-out next weekend. But, we have to go to that stupid wedding." You might say, "It sounds like you are frustrated because you can't attend the camp-out." Every child pushes the envelope a bit when it comes to communication and behavior. However, as the adult, you are must be inclined to respond maturely and calmly to misconduct. Go by the 3 F's to help you with discipline and protect the overall parent-child relationship. Be firm. State what the consequences are and apply them consistently. Be fair. Make sure the punishment fits the crime. Try to avoid harsh or excessive consequences. Be friendly. Convey your words in steady yet polite tone. Avoid raising your voice. Simply explain what terms they violated and lay out the consequences. Also, take time to praise them when they are doing well. Adolescents and teens can easily become intimidated with too much face-to-face communication. Reduce the pressure by planning some of your talks in a parallel position. Try asking your son about bullying at school when driving him to rugby practice. Ask your daughter about her new love interest when you are baking in the kitchen. Use this time to really get to know your child, including their interests, preferences, hobbies, etc. Share your own interests, likes, and background with your child too. Emphasize any similar interests you both may share. Your child is more likely to engage and open up when talking in this way.
Summary: Be trustworthy. Practice active listening without distractions. Follow the 3 F's of effective parenting. Have relaxed side-by-side conversations.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The age at which you will retire has a large impact on your retirement planning. While it is impossible to know, especially early on, when exactly you will retire, planning for a certain age can help guide your decisions. For Social Security purposes, your retirement age can be either be after or before your "full" retirement age. However, you will not receive any benefits until age 62. Retiring past your full retirement age allows you to receive full Social Security benefits. Retiring at any point between 62 and your full retirement age slightly decreases your benefits, depending on how close your age is to 62. Your full retirement age depends on the year of your birth. The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides a schedule for determining this age here: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/agereduction.html. The reductions in benefits are calculated such that the average beneficiary receives the same amount of total Social Security payments, regardless of when they retire. If in doubt, just use your full retirement age. Although it may be unpleasant to think about, calculating your life expectancy is necessary to figure out how many years of retirement you will have to save for. According to the SSA, the average American male can expect to live to around age 84, while women can expect to reach 87. However, one in four (for both genders) will live past 90 and about ten percent will live to 95. Consider your own lifestyle choices and family history to make an assessment of how long you can expect to live. If you have not yet reached full retirement age and continue working, you may experience a reduction in Social Security benefits until you reach full retirement age. This depends on how much you make each year. However, after you reach full retirement age, there is no limit to how much you can make each year. Considering whether or not you will continue working after retirement can also factor into your deciding how much you need to save. Start by estimating the length of your retirement. This is just your estimated life expectancy minus your expected retirement age. So, for example, if you are planning to retire at 65 and are a male (life expectancy 85), you should plan for at least 20 years of retirement. From here, the standard rule of thumb is to multiply your annual income from before retirement by 70 percent to get your estimate retirement expenses. So, for example, if you made $60,000 before retirement, you would need $42,000 per year in retirement. So, for an expected 20 year retirement, you would need a total of 20*$42,000, or $840,000. The percentage of your pre-retirement income may vary depending on how you plan to live after retirement. For example, 70 percent is satisfactory if you have your home paid for and are in good health. However, if you are unhealthy you may want to save more for medical costs. Alternately, you may want to save more if you have more expensive goals for your retirement, like if you want to spend it traveling or build your dream home.
Summary: Determine your planned retirement age. Estimate your life expectancy. Consider whether or not you will continue to work after retirement. Estimate your retirement expenses.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make sure you start with a closed knife. If the knife is already open you should find someone who understand a Butterfly Knife to close it for you. The knife has a dull side and a sharp side and you always want to keep your fingers away from the sharp side. Look at the anatomy of the knife and determine which direction the sharp side would close into. The knife slips into a groove inside the handles on both sides. You want to hold the handle that would house the dull side of the knife. Even if you are not using a sharp knife, this is the proper technique.
Summary:
Hold the knife from the safe side.
