In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Let your child drink plenty of fluids during the day, and make sure he or she drinks a glass of water with dinner, but try to avoid liquids after that. Take special care to avoid caffeinated drinks (like sodas). These can increase the production of urine. Encourage your child to empty his or her bladder immediately before bedtime. This will reduce the likelihood of a full bladder overnight. Overcoming bedwetting is often a matter of agreement between the bladder and the brain; make this possible by sticking to a routine so that your child's body "learns" to hold urine during specified times. Certain foods may cause allergic reactions in your child, even if they do not produce a rash or other external signs, or may irritate the bladder or otherwise increase the odds of an accident. If your child is struggling to stay dry at night, consider keeping a food journal and noting any correlation between certain foods and nighttime accidents. Particular culprits seem to be spicy and acidic foods, which can irritate the bladder, and milk and other dairy products, which can cause sleepiness and make it harder to wake up when the bladder is full. Some experts believe low levels of calcium and magnesium may contribute to bedwetting. In addition to dairy products, calcium and magnesium are found in bananas, sesame seeds, beans, fish, almonds, and broccoli. Until your child learns to wake up and go to the bathroom when his or her bladder is full, you might set an alarm and interrupt his or her sleep purposefully. You can start by waking your child up every two or three hours and extend this period gradually over time, until your child is sleeping through the entire night and waking up dry. Feeling cold can increase the need to urinate, so make sure your child is warm enough while sleeping. If your child continues to struggle with bedwetting, keep a detailed journal of his or her accidents, including their timing. You may notice patterns, which will make it easier to pinpoint causes and wake your child at an appropriate time to prevent accidents. Never punish a child for bedwetting, which may very well be completely out of his or her control. Instead, stick to praise and positive reinforcement for dry nights.
Summary: Limit liquids before bedtime. Visit the bathroom right before bed. Stick to a bedtime routine. Pay attention to what your child eats. Make sure your child gets enough calcium and magnesium. Consider waking your child during the night. Avoid cold. Keep a diary. Use positive reinforcement.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you start a new PowerPoint file, you can either create a blank presentation or a template. Blank presentations allow you to apply your own style, but this can be a time-consuming process. Templates can give your presentation a uniform style, but they may not suit your exact needs. You can edit any aspect of a template, so feel free to choose one that mostly matches your vision and tweak it as you see fit. You can apply themes to your project at a later time after you've added content. Click the Design tab and select a theme. It will be immediately applied to your project. You can either undo it (Ctrl + Z) or revert to a blank theme if you don't like it. You can access templates from the File tab. Click New and then browse the available templates. You can also download additional templates from a variety of resources online. Your title is the first thing that your audience will see. It should be easy to read and give a basic overview about the topic of the presentation. Most presenters will include their or their group's name on the title as well. Press Ctrl + M for a new slide. A blank slide will be added after the slide you are currently on. The slide will contain a title box and a text box. You can choose to use these or insert your own objects using the Insert tab. When adding a text box, you can click and drag to make it whatever size you'd like. You can then adjust this later by grabbing one of the corners with your cursor and then clicking and dragging again. You can click on any text box and start typing to begin adding text to your presentation. You can format text just as you would in Word, with formatting options available in the Home tab. You can use the frame on the left side of the window to quickly scroll through your slides. Clicking any of them will open that slide so that you can edit it. You can click the Outline tab to see an outline tree of your presentation. Each slide will be labeled by the slide title. You can get a basic feel for the flow of your presentation at this point by pressing F5 to start the slide show. Click the mouse to advance the slides. Use the preview slide show to get an idea of how long the presentation is and how well information flows from one slide to the next.
