Problem: Article: If stinkbugs have made their way into your home, dispose of them without crushing them. Damage to their bodies will release their terrible odor, which will linger in your home. Be mindful of where you step if you see stink bugs in your home, and dispose of them as gently as possible. The simplest way to get rid of stink bugs is to carefully collect them and eliminate them without crushing them. Use a brush and dustpan to gently sweep up the bugs without harming them. Quickly shake out the bugs into your toilet and flush them immediately to get rid of them. If you have a bagged vacuum cleaner, use it to suck up stink bugs and immediately dispose of the entire bag. If the bugs are harmed by the strong suction of the vacuum they will likely release their strong smell once they are trapped in the bag. Do not use any other type of vacuum, as the smell of the stink bugs may linger. Pour 1 cup (240ml) of hot water into a spray bottle. Add 0.5 cups (120ml) of white vinegar and 0.25 cups (59ml) of dish soap, then shake the bottle gently to combine them. Spray the mixture directly onto stink bugs to kill them.
Summary: Avoid squishing stink bugs. Sweep up stink bugs and flush them down the toilet. Use a bagged vacuum cleaner to suck up bugs, then dispose of the bag. Spray bugs with a combination of soap, vinegar, and hot water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people find a memorial is helpful when burying their cat. Before placing your cat in the ground, you can say a few words, sing a song, or read a poem. Consider inviting friends and family members over to say goodbye your pet. Young children may find a memorial particularly beneficial. You can encourage them to all collect things that remind them of their lost pet. They can place these things in the hole alongside the cat's coffin. After saying a few words, gently set your cat's coffin in the ground. Refill the hole with the soil you dug up. Make sure to press the soil down as you place it over the grave. You want the soil to be firmly in place to prevent predators from digging up your cat. Do not skip the grave marker. While it may not be important to you as a symbolic gesture, a grave marker prevents the grave from being disturbed. If you purchased a coffin, set it over the grave. If you're using rocks or other materials, pile them over the cat's resting place. If you're planting something in the ground, make sure to surround the base of the plant with something heavy. This will keep predators away. Once the marker is up, you may want to decorate the gravesite. You can put up temporary decorations, like flowers and other foliage. If you have young children, they may want to decorate the grave. You can encourage them to do something like write notes to the cat or draw pictures to leave at the gravesite.

SUMMARY: Have a small memorial, if you wish. Lower your cat into the hole and cover it with soil. Set up your grave marker. Decorate the gravesite, if you want.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Another effective way to help your child obey is by praising or rewarding them when they are behaving appropriately. When you see your daughter eating her food instead of throwing it, say, "Mindy, I love how you are eating and using good table manners. Keep that up and you'll earn your favorite dessert!" Experts believe positive reinforcement such as praise and rewards is much more effective than a consequence. Rather than lecturing or withholding privileges when undesirable behavior occurs, they suggest ignoring it and only giving your attention when your child is behaving appropriately. The goal is to get the child to do more positive behaviors to get more attention. This encourages the child to behave well, leaving less opportunity for misbehavior. For example, the parent might ignore it when their child throws food but lay on the praise when they eat as they should. If your child knows and understands what's expected of them, they are less likely to break the rules. Sit down with your child and explain your family's rules. Keep the rules clear, simple, and consistent. Also, make them aware of any consequences, such as if rules are broken, gaining points on a chart. When disciplining the child, discuss the rule, its consequence, and how the child can do better. For instance, your rules might sound like, "Walk indoors. No running!" "Complete homework before playtime," or "Clear away your area after an activity, such as homework or arts and crafts." As an example, you might have a rule to treat others with respect. If your child throws a tantrum, you could talk to them about how it's disrespectful for them to behave that way. Then give them an example of how they could express their emotions differently. Post the rules in plain sight, so your child is constantly reminded of how they should behave. Try pinning them to the wall near your points chart (or jar), posting them on the fridge, or hanging a sign up on your kitchen door. It's important that your child learn to follow rules even when no one is watching. Resist the urge to micromanage the child's behavior. For example, you could have the child check off positive behaviors, such as doing their homework and cleaning up after themselves. If you have multiple children, teach them to help each other follow the rules, rather than to tattle. For example, if one child notices that the other is running in the house, she could say, "Hey, we're supposed to walk when we're in the house. You could get hurt or break something." Maintain the same rules and the same consequences within your household to help your child establish norms of behavior. That way, they know what to do, and what will happen if they don't comply. Try to be consistent across contexts and caregivers. For instance, the child shouldn't be able to break the rules simply because friends are visiting. Similarly, mom shouldn't have one set of rules while dad has another. You should also have the same expectations for your child even when you are tired. Don't let them use your exhaustion as a free pass to misbehave. In addition, your rules should be consistent between your childrenone child shouldn't be allowed to break rules and not have consequences enforced. When other children visit your home, they should follow the same rules as your children. Ask your child to explain the rules to their friends or relatives when they get to your home, as this will help reinforce the child's understanding of the rules. Some kids have bucketfuls of energy and they get into trouble because they don't know how to effectively channel it. Give your child plenty of opportunities to move their bodies and work their minds. They'll be less likely to misbehave, as a result. Let your child go outside to burn off energy or dedicate a special place inside where they can play. Try keeping fun coloring books, puzzles, and games nearby to keep them preoccupied. Be realistic when it comes to your child. Don't expect an energetic child to sit quietly for hours at a time. Observe how your child functions and set up parameters that increase their odds of being obedient.
Summary:
Use positive reinforcement to increase good behavior. Set clear rules to help your child know right from wrong. Teach the child how to hold themselves accountable. Be consistent across caregivers, situations, and children. Provide outlets for them to release energy.
