Article: Because it is easy for kids to become dehydrated, making sure that your child gets enough fluid is the best thing you can do when she is suffering from a bout of diarrhea. Do not hydrate her with water alone your child will need to replenish sodium, potassium, and other nutrients lost through diarrhea. Instead, look for oral rehydration solutions (ORS), such as Pedialyte. Make sure you speak to your doctor about how much and for how long you should give your child an ORS. ORSs are available in most drug stores. Do not try to make your own solution unless your pediatrician gives you a precise recipe. Do NOT use sports drinks, sodas, or even juice. The high sugar content in these beverages can make diarrhea worse. Stick to foods that you know won't cause a problem for your child and do not try to introduce your child to any new foods while he has diarrhea, either. The main things to avoid are high sugar foods and beverages because these can make diarrhea worse. Avoid giving your child anything that has caused problems for him in the past. If you feed your child something and it seems to make his diarrhea worse, then do not offer your child that food again. To stop diarrhea, it is also important to increase your child's fiber intake. Fiber helps to solidify the stool. One good way to ensure that your toddler is getting enough fiber is to use the BRAT diet. BRAT stands for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast (use whole grain bread to make the toast). BRAT diet foods are unlikely to cause a problem unless your child has a food allergy or sensitivity to one of them. In that case, omit one of the foods or modify the food so that your child can have it. For example, if your child has a sensitivity to gluten, then give your child gluten-free bread instead of wheat bread. Yogurt may also help stop diarrhea in your toddler by rebalancing the bacteria in your child's gut. Give your child whatever flavor of yogurt she will eat, just make sure that the yogurt contains "live cultures." Live cultures provide the healthy gut bacteria that your child needs to maintain normal bowel function. You can also use popsicle forms to make frozen yogurt popsicles if you think your child will like these better. In some cases, increasing your child's fat intake may help stop diarrhea. Try offering your child some more healthy high fat foods. Some good options include: Olive oil Butter Cheese Whole fat milk (however, you may wish to avoid dairy products if your child is having a lot of diarrhea)
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Give your child plenty of fluids. Feed your child foods that you know he can tolerate. Put your child on the BRAT diet. Offer your child some yogurt. Try increasing the fat in your child's diet.
Article: Remember that celebrities are people, too. They will have times when they are busy, frustrated, or otherwise dealing with a major situation where it might not be appropriate to approach them. If you see a celebrity who seems like they're in a big rush, or if they are dealing with a critical situation, leave them to their business. Some situations, such as escorting someone into an ambulance, will be obvious. Others, like if they are in a rush while getting coffee, will be less conspicuous. Use your best judgement and respect their time and space to the best of your abilities. Try to make eye contact and smile at them. Not only does this help give you confidence, it gives them a chance to acknowledge you. If they don't acknowledge you, they may be too busy. " Try to stay composed. Don't panic or start screaming if they wave or smile back. Simply casually walk up to them and introduce yourself. Say hi, and let them know that you're a fan of their work. You could say something like, "Mr. Johnson! I can't believe I'm meeting you in person. I've been a fan of yours for a long time." If you know they have just had a widely publicized life event, such as getting married or welcoming a new child, you can say something like, "Congratulations on your marriage!" Stick to widely publicized events. Do not drop personal or private information that you learned online or through gossip magazines. If the celebrity's body of work has had a major impact on your life, don't be afraid to let them know. Otherwise, try to make a personal connection by talking about things you would talk about to any other person. Ask them about their work, and let them know why you're a fan of them. Try something like, "Your second album was really important to me when I was applying to college. It helped get me through some very stressful moments." Remember to keep the conversation brief. Let them know that their work helped you through a hard time, but don't give them a long story about your life unless they specifically ask for it. Keep things short and sweet. End the conversation with something like, "I know you're busy and I don't want to keep you. Thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me!" Celebrities know that things like autographs and taking pictures with fans are part of the deal. Don't be afraid to ask for a quick autograph or picture if you want one. Just make sure to keep it quick, and always ask their permission before you take their picture. Don't get mad if they won't give your their autograph. If they refuse, say "That's okay. I still enjoyed meeting you. Have a nice day." A graceful ending is always best. Some celebrities may take a picture or sign an autograph, but may ask you not to do something like post the picture on a certain social media site or to not get their autograph tattooed on you. Respect their wishes in these cases.

Determine if this is the right time to approach them. Casually approach them and say "Hi. Make a personal connection. Ask for an autograph or a picture if you want one.
Article: Making physical contact can reassure someone that you care and are available to them. Put your hand on their shoulder, or give them a hug. If you are not that comfortable with the person you are sympathizing with, shake their hand. Cease any unwanted physical contact. If the person seems to be moving away or uncomfortable making contact with you, do not force it. How you say something is as important as what you say. Make sure that your facial expressions match the condolences you are offering in a bad situation. For example, you should not say "I am so sorry for your loss/luck," with a huge smile. A neutral expression is usually best. This means relaxed eyebrows, making eye contact, and a neutral mouth (not smiling or frowning). The gift you send does not need to be expensive or elaborate. In many cases, just sending a card would be sufficient to express your sympathies. You can also send flowers to someone to express your sympathy for their current plight. Another way to show your sympathy and help in a tough time is to bring the person meals. This can free them of the need to cook for several days or weeks, and allow them the time and space to cope with their situation. The more people you can get to participate, the easier it will be to provide steady meals. There are websites that allow people to sign up for specific meals on specific dates, which may make it easier for you to organize meal delivery. This way, the meals can be spaced out and you won't make the mistake of bringing multiple meals on the same day.
