Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wear pants that fit well. Use a fabric measuring tape. Find your measurement. Consult a universal size chart.

Answer: Put on a pair of jeans or pants that you will wear frequently with a belt. These pants should not be too loose or too tight so that you will be able to get an accurate measurement of your waist. The most important thing is to choose a pair of pants that fit how your pants usually fit. You want to get a belt that will fit with the pants you normally wear. While you are wearing the pants, thread a fabric measuring tape through the belt loops of the pants. Pinch the two sides together where they meet in front. This number will be your normal waist measurement. Breathe in deeply and out fully. The measuring tape should expand slightly. Let yourself account for a little extra wiggle room when you exhale so your belt doesn't get too tight when you breathe. Check to make sure that the measuring tape is in the middle or bottom of the belt holes, instead of flush with the top. Read the measurement in the mirror or mark the point where the two sides of the measuring tape meet with a safety pin. Remove the tape from the loops and read the measurement. Add two inches to the measurement. This is your belt size. For example, if the measuring tape reads 38 inches (96.5cm), you want to purchase a 40-inch belt. You need to add two inches because the measurement of your waist only accounts for the direct circumference of your waist. But the length of a belt does more than that it includes additional length that must overlap to a certain extent at the buckle. The two added inches give you the wiggle room you need for a well-fitting belt. Since many belts are sold by size (small, medium, large, etc.) rather than measurement, it may be necessary for you to view a sizing chart that can help you determine the correct size. Men and women's belts are typically sized differently since women are often more petite in size than men. Men's small belts usually corresponds to a 30 inch (76.2cm) waist, while a women's small usually fits a 28 inch waist. Men's large belts usually fit a 36 inch (91.4cm) waist, while a women's large typically corresponds to a 32 inch waist.

Answer: Sign up for the public speaking class that intimidates you, or apply for the internship you think you'll never get. An unexpected opportunity could lead you straight to your dream job. The worst thing you can do is to let fear or intimidation stop you from taking the first step. When you're young, you have much more freedom with how you spend your time. Use it trying everything you can and learning all about the things that interest you. Lea Michelle, the world-famous star of Glee, got her start on Broadway by accident. She accompanied her friend to an audition and then auditioned herself as a joke. It's easy to get wrapped up in the opinions of other people, or follow the plan that others have mapped out for you. There will always be people judging your choices, and there will always be family members, teachers, friends, and even strangers telling you what you should do. However, only you know which career path is right for you. Don't disregard the advice you get from those who care about you. They usually want the best for you and may have more life experience than you. At the same time, don't give up on a dream or shy away from a goal just because others may not believe in it. You should do this whether it is something you love but aren't great at, or something you are naturally good at. It doesn't even have to be a clear-cut skill, like a sport or a subject in school. Ask yourself: Are you the person all your friends come to when they need advice? Do you have a soft spot for all animals? Do you love being a project leader in school? Once you find something you're good at or enjoy, take the time to perfect it. For example, if you are good at giving advice, consider taking psychology classes. Dream big and stay optimistic about your future, but remember that only hard work and patience will get you where you want to be. Many people who love their career now may not have loved it when they started out. While it would be great to obtain your dream job on your first try, you often have to figure out which industry you want to be in first, and then work your way up the ladder.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give your child love and affection. Praise your children Avoid comparing your children to others, especially siblings. Listen to your children. Make time for your children. Be there for the milestones.

Answer:
Sometimes the best thing you can give your child is love and affection. A warm touch or a caring hug can let your child know how much you really care about him or her. Don't ever overlook how important a physical connection is when it comes to your child. Here are some ways to show love and affection: A gentle cuddle, a little encouragement, appreciation, approval or even a smile can go a long way to boost the confidence and well-being of your children. Tell them you love them every day, no matter how angry at them you may be. Give lots of hugs and some kisses. Make your children comfortable with love and affection from birth. Love them unconditionally; don't force them to be who you think they should be in order to earn your love. Let them know that you will always love them no matter what. Provide experiences over toys. Even though all children like gifts, an abundance of expensive trifles and electronic devices can spoil them. It is important to keep your child in the real world, teach them to value feelings over money. It is especially common for busy parents to overdo with gifts to compensate for the lack of joint pastime. Toys can entertain your child for a while, but they will never let them feel loved and cared for as an attentive parent can. . Praising your children is an important part of being a good parent. You want your kids to feel proud of their accomplishments and good about themselves. If you don't give them the confidence they need to be out in the world on their own, then they won't feel empowered to be independent or adventurous. When they do something good, let them know that you've noticed and that you're very proud of them. Emphasize your children's accomplishments, talents, and good behavior, while minimizing their faults. This shows them you see the best in them. Make a habit of praising your children at least three times as much as you give them negative feedback. Though it's important to tell your children when they're doing something wrong, it's also important to help them build a positive sense of self. If they are too young to fully understand, praise them with applause and lots of love. Encouraging them for doing everything from using the potty to getting good grades can help them lead a happy and successful life. Studies have shown that it is better to praise children for hard work and effort rather than natural talent. If they learn to value hard work, they will respond enthusiastically to future challenges and will be willing to persevere. Avoid blanket phrases like "Good job!". Instead provide descriptive praise which lets them know exactly what is being appreciated. For example "You did great taking turns with your sister while playing" or "Thank you for cleaning up the toys after playing with them!" Each child is individual and unique. Celebrate their differences and instill in each child the desire to pursue their interests and dreams. Failure to do so may give your child an inferiority complex, an idea that they can never be good enough in your eyes. If you want to help them improve their behavior, talk about meeting their goals on their own terms, instead of telling them to act like their sister or neighbor. This will help them develop a sense of self instead of having an inferiority complex. Comparing one child to another can also make one child develop a rivalry with his or her sibling. You want to nurture a loving relationship between your children, not a competitive one. Avoid favoritism. Surveys have shown that most parents have favorites, but most children believe that they are the favorite. If your children are quarreling, don't choose sides, but be fair and neutral. Overcome natural birth order tendencies by making each child responsible for themselves. Putting older kids in charge of the younger one stokes sibling rivalry, whereas making them take responsibility for themselves encourages individuality and self-reliance. It's important that your communication with your children goes both ways. You shouldn't just be there to enforce rules, but to listen to your children when they are having a problem. You have to be able to express interest in your children and involve yourself in their life. You should create an atmosphere in which your children can come to you with a problem, however large or small. Practice active listening with your children. Look at them while they talk to you, and show them you're following along by nodding and making affirmative statements, such as "Uh huh," "I understand," or "Keep going." Hear their words rather than formulating your response. When it is your turn to speak, paraphrase what you heard them say before you respond. You could say, "It sounds like you're saying that this week's chore list is unfair." You can even set aside a time to talk to your children every day. This can be before bedtime, at breakfast, or during a walk after school. Treat this time as sacred and avoid checking your phone or getting distracted. If your child says he has to tell you something, make sure you take this seriously. If the timing is right now, drop everything you're doing to listen properly, or set up a time to talk when you can really listen. Don't underestimate your children's intelligence. They often have insights to share or a way of sensing when something is wrong (or right). Take the time to hear their perspectives. Be careful not to stifle or smother them, however. There's a big difference between protecting someone and imprisoning them within your too unyielding demands. You want them to feel like your time together is sacred and special without making them feel like they are forced to spend time with you. When you're spending time with your children, turn off your technology. Keep your phone put away so that you can focus your attention on your child without the temptation to answer messages, check your email, or log on to social media. Spend time with each child individually. Try to divide your time equally if you have more than one child. If you find it difficult to spend quality time because of your professional commitment, you can consider becoming a stay at home mom until your kids are slightly older. Listen and respect your child and respect what they want to do with their life. Remember though, you are the parent. Children need boundaries. A child who has been allowed to behave as they please and had their every whim indulged will struggle in adult life when they have to obey the rules of society. You are NOT a bad parent if you don't allow your children to have everything they want. You can say no, but you should provide a reason for saying no or offer an alternative. "Because I said so" is an invalid reason! Set aside a day to go to a park, theme parks, museum or library, depending on their interests. Attend school functions. Do homework with them. Visit their teacher at open house/parents evening to get a sense of how they are doing in school. You may have a hectic work schedule, but you should do everything you can to be there for the important moments in your children's lives, from their ballet recitals to their high school graduation. Remember that children grow fast and that they'll be on their own before you know it. Your boss may or may not remember that you missed that meeting, but your child will most certainly remember that you didn't attend the play they were in. Though you don't actually have to drop everything for your children, you should at least always try to be there for the milestones. If you were too busy to be there for your child's first day of school or another important milestone, you may regret it for the rest of your life. And you don't want your child to remember his high school graduation as the time when his mom or dad couldn't show up.
