article: Babies naturally explore the world through biting and hitting things around them. Hands and teeth are a child's first social tools. A child learns to use them to explore the things around them as well as the reactions she gets from others when she uses them. Biting and hitting is most common between the ages of 18 months and 2 1/2 years, while language is still developing. Biting usually stops as language develops, but hitting often continues for several years into early childhood. If your child is hitting in particular environments, such as at a particular child's house or at preschool, take a look at these places to see what might be causing her behavior. Consider the behavior as a nonverbal communication, and think about what she might be trying to communicate. Most children have shorter tempers when tired. Consider whether the hitting is happening at a particular time of day or in a limited number of situations. Consider the possibility that your child is responding to unkind behavior. Teasing and bullying often occur very subtly, in ways that your child may not be able to communicate. If this is the situation, you'll need to address those behaviors even as you teach your child alternatives to hitting. Teaching your child to identify her feelings is important. Anger, frustration, and jealousy are feelings, and feelings are natural and normal. Never make your child feel ashamed of having a feeling, even though you are trying to teach her alternative behaviors. Notice how you respond to your own feelings of anger. Use these moments to help teach your child alternatives to hitting. For example, if you get angry at someone, use your hand like a puppet. "Okay, hand, you feel angry, but no hitting, okay?" It might feel silly, but your child will get the message. Using words to identify your feelings will help your child better connect words to his own feelings. Saying out loud when you're feeling upset, angry or frustrated can help your child learn that these feelings are normal and okay. Follow up by stating what you're going to do to help yourself feel better. For example, you might say, "I feel angry, but I'll feel better if I take 5 big breaths."

article: Volunteering with a local charity is a great way to improve the world around you. You'll be able to do the most direct good and see the impact on the people that you help. If you have a practical skill or can learn one, or evening volunteering at the Humane Society in your local neighborhood. using that skill will offer the most good (skills like construction or medicine are good examples). Tutor disadvantaged kids Work at a local soup kitchen Work with a charity like Habitat for Humanity. Another way to really make the world a better place is to reduce the negative impact you have on the world around you. Being good stewards of the world has a significant and positive impact on your environment and helps to preserve the planet for the next generation. Be consistent about recycling. Reduce the waste you produce and compost. Conserve water and grow some of your own food. If you really want to help your local environment, buy and install solar panels for your home and switch to public transit, a bike, or an electric vehicle. Increase positive impacts. Notice how your happiness and well-being are interconnected with other people and the natural environment. Learn how you can leave a legacy of sustainable happiness. Exercise your right to vote. Bad politicians and policies can have an incredibly negative impact on your community and your environment. By not voting and letting your voice be heard, you are allowing opportunity for bad policy to rule. Be engaged in your city, states, and country by voting and talking with the politicians you support, as well as educating others on important issues. In America, for example, only about 50% to 60% of eligible voters actually vote during the presidential election. And that number tumbles to about 35% to 40% in midterm elections. Imagine the changes people might enact if 90% of people voted during presidential elections and 60% of people voted during midterms! With companies, your money talks....so shout as loud as you can! Don't buy products that harm animals or from companies that use abusive tactics with their animals. Whenever you can, buy local products that support the people around you and your local economy. When a company makes poor choices that negatively affect people, stop buying their products. Always, always feel free to contact companies to let them know what you're doing and why! Some, not all, businesses actually care about what their customers want. They'll never know how to change if people don't tell them. Take care of and take pride in the area where you live. This preserves the area not just for you but for everyone else in your community. If you have the opportunity to help, take it because not everyone will have the chance. You should also find ways to improve the environment where you live. Here are just a few ideas: Combine good citizenship and environmental cleanup by volunteering with your city to plant trees, maintain sidewalks, and keep green spaces green. Never litter when you're out and about always try to find a proper trash can or recycling bin for your trash! Clean up trash that you do find, even if someone else dropped it.

article:
Band t-shirts should be the number one item in your wardrobe. You should have more of these than anything else. After all, being emo is all about the music and showing support for the bands you care about. Tour t-shirts that you actually bought at the band's gig are best, but t-shirts bought in stores or online will do as well. They should be as tight as possible (while still actually fitting), and girls can knot up the ends or cut out the backs to expose a little skin, if desired. Some classic emo bands whose t-shirts would make cool additions to your wardrobe and lend you some emo cred (provided you actually listen to the music) are: The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids, Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the Reason, Rites of Spring, Braid, Thursday and Cursive. Tight jeans are essential to completing the emo look. If you're skinny, wearing skinny jeans is recommended. However, skinny jeans have been what some emos (especially guys) get made fun of for. Who cares, they look good, right? So stand up to the haters and wear your skinny jeans with pride! Opt for black or blue, and if it's got a few rips and holes in it, all the better. Although skinny jeans (which are tight all the way to the ankles) are probably the most common, tight jeans can also look good. Even though you want your jeans to be tight, they should still fit you properly. Jeans that are too tight will be uncomfortable and hot and you won't enjoy wearing them. Plus, jeans that fit you properly will look better too. Girls can substitute skinny jeans for skirts and tights, if they like. They skirts will usually be short and black, though sometimes a tutu style is worn, and tights can either be plain black, colored or patterned. Feel free to experiment! What you put on your feet is just as important as what you wear, so take some time to consider your shoes. The classic choice is Converse high-tops, which should be as dirty and worn in as possible. If Converse aren't your thing, skate shoes like Vans, Etnies and Circa are popular alternatives. Even if your shoes are brand new, you should take some time to go jump in the mud and use a permanent marker or white-out to draw or write graffiti all over them. Adding patterned or brightly colored laces is another way to funk up your shoes, allowing them to reflect your personality. Even emos get cold, so when you need to layer up, opt for worn-out army jackets and black band hoodies. These look great layered over shirts and band tees, but can really be worn over any outfit you like, which makes them a great investment. Authentic combat-green army jackets can be found in thrift stores or online and look great loaded with pins and iron-on patches. Black band hoodies are easy to get your hands on and provide another opportunity to profess your love of a particular band. They should also be worn tight and with the hood up, if you want to look brooding.
