Q: There is no shame in asking someone to help you stop talking. Try asking one of your friends to give you a cue whenever you start to talk in class. Maybe they can cough or tap your shoulder. Whatever cue you decide on, make sure it doesn't involve them talking to you at all or it defeats the purpose. It may seem like your teacher is always yelling at you to stop talking, but they can be a great help if you ask them. Tell your teacher you're having a hard time not talking in class, and see if they have any suggestions for things you can try. After class, tell your teacher something like "I'm trying really hard to stop talking during your class, but I'm still struggling with it. Could you please help me?" More than likely, your teacher will be delighted to give you some pointers on staying quiet. Put a sticky note on your desk and write something on it to remind yourself not to talk. Every time you get the urge to speak, glance down at your sticky note. Try writing something like "I can talk when class is over." Or "Silence is golden." . Just keep trying to stay quiet during class. It may take some time for you to learn these new techniques, but don't give up! Set realistic goals for yourself, you might not be able to completely stop talking over night. To avoid frustration and getting discouraged, start by focusing on not talking at all through the first half of class. Once that becomes second nature, make your goal to not speak during the entire class. As you meet your goals, reward yourself with a piece of candy or 10 extra minutes of play time after school. Positive reinforcements like these will help you continue to keep up the good work.
A: Ask your friends to help. Consult your teacher. Use a visual aid. Don't get discouraged Reward yourself.

Article: Use this measurement to get the size of the pirate hat accurate. This is the part that tends to make the pirate costume. Fortunately, it's very easy to make a pirate's hat. Use this as the template. If you're not confident in this, one can be found online. Place the template over lightweight card and trace around it. Do this twice, as you need two sides to the hat. Cut out the hat shape. Run glue or tape around the edges of the hat, leaving the base of the hat where your head goes in untouched. Let dry if using glue. Go over with at least two coats and let dry. Then paint on the skull and crossbones design in white. Again, if you're not super artsy, print this off the internet and glue on. If you're using paint, this may take two coats; white over black at first is gray. Be patient -- your hat is one of the flashiest parts of your outfit -- put the time in to make it right. Tape this together in a loop or circle. Slide this inside the hat and tape or glue to the hat. This will help to keep the hat shape open and keep it snugly on your head. If it's really windy out and you're forced to become an outdoor pirate, add elastic to keep the hat in place. Only do this as a last option though, as it can look a bit bulky and silly.
