Summarize the following:
Show your parents that you care by being attentive when they talk to you. Stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. If your parents think you are not listening, then they are more likely to get angry and assume you do not care. Examples of body language that signal a disrespectful attitude are: Crossing your arms and looking the other way. Tapping your foot impatiently while they are talking. Rolling your eyes when you disagree with something. Staring at them aggressively, or glaring at them. Let your parents say what they need to say before you respond. Don't interrupt them in the middle of a sentence if you disagree with something they have said. Instead, wait until they have finished speaking. Once they are finished talking, ask, "May I say something, please?" It is ok if you don't understand what your parents are trying to tell you. If you find yourself in this situation, repeat back in your own words what they said to you for clarification purposes. This way, both you and your parents will be on the same page, and miscommunication is less likely to occur. Say, for example, "What I heard is that you want me to finish my homework and chores before I hang out with my friends. Is that correct?"

summary: Avoid disrespectful body language when your parents are talking to you. Avoid interrupting your parents while they are talking. Ask for clarification.

In order to reach 9,000 calories a day, you'll need to focus on getting "the best bang for your buck" in terms of calories per meal. Dietitians call foods with a lot of calories per bite "calorie-dense." These foods will allow you to take in more calories without feeling too stuffed. To stay healthy, focus on calorie-dense foods that also provide a lot of nutritional value. Some examples of nutrient- and calorie-dense foods are: Nuts Nut butters like peanut or almond butter Dried fruit like banana chips Fresh fruits like mangos and avocados Eating isn't the only way to increase your calorie intake. If you are having trouble maintaining your weight that is, losing weight despite drinking enough water and getting plenty of calories in solid form consider high-calorie beverages. Remember, just having high caloric content isn't the only goal; try to drink calorie-dense beverages that also offer high nutrient content. . Replace water in your diet with high-calorie fruit juices like apple, grape, or orange juice. Each of them are great options that won't leave you feeling too full. Smoothies are great ways to drink a large number of calories in a healthy fashion. If you can make your own, add protein powder, dense fruits, cream-based liquids and yogurt. Smoothies will move through the stomach quickly and allow you to fuel up prior to exercise. Try to limit your beverage intake during meals to leave more room for calorie-dense foods, but ensure you maintain healthy hydration levels. It's important to know what your goals are before you begin transitioning to a 9,000 calorie per day diet. Different types of athletes require different types of nutrients to maximize their performance. If you are training to be an endurance athlete, you should incorporate between 0.5 and 0.7 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (1.2 to 1.4 g/kg of bodyweight) each day to help your body rebuild the muscle you break down through training. If you are doing heavy weight training, your protein intake should be more like 0.7 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (1.2 to 1.7 g/kg of bodyweight) every day. This will provide your body with the amino acids it needs to not only restore your damaged muscle, but help your body build new muscle through training. Don't increase your protein intake at the cost of other important elements of your diet. Developing and maintaining healthy muscle also requires that you take in carbohydrates and healthy fats each day. Ignoring them for the sake of protein can cause your body to use that protein for energy instead of muscle development and retention. It is possible to eat too much protein and some clinicians believe it may cause irreversible damage to your kidneys. The Institute of Medicine recommends that you do not consume greater than 35% of total calories in protein. Additionally, increased dietary protein can result in elevated urinary calcium, which may contribute to bone loss and the subsequent development of osteopenia and osteoporosis. It may seem like the easiest way to increase your calorie intake is to pile on the ice cream and greasy pizza, but eating unhealthy foods in large quantities can lead to other health problems. Calories aren't the only things that matter. Nutritional value in your foods is just as important. Make sure your diet provides the nutrients you need to be healthy. Junk food and greasy treats can raise your cholesterol and blood pressure. Too much saturated fat can even lead to cardiovascular problems that include heart attack and strokes. Recent studies also suggest saturated fats can affect insulin production in your body and lead to other health problems like diabetes.

summary: Choose high-calorie, low-volume foods. Drink your calories. Plan your diet to match your goals. Avoid unhealthy foods.

Before you add designs or personal touches, you should create a solid base to work on. Cover the sides and top of the cooler with paint using a large paintbrush. To use multiple colors for the background, paint 1 color at a time and let the paint dry in between colors. One coat of acrylic paint should be enough for the background. After 24 hours, the cooler should feel dry to the touch. If you're doing additional colors for the background, paint them on one at a time and let the cooler dry for 24 hours in between each coat. While you can definitely draw designs on the cooler freehand, using designs printed off the computer will make the cooler look cleaner and more professional. Keep in mind that you'll be tracing the outlines of the designs onto the cooler and filling them in with paint, so stick with simple images and fonts. To use carbon paper, trace the outline of your design onto the paper. Then, hold the carbon paper on the cooler and draw over the lines to transfer the design onto the cooler. You can find carbon paper online or at your local art supplies store. Start by tracing your design onto a sheet of printer paper. Then, shade in the back of the paper with pencil. After the back is shaded in, place the paper on the cooler where you want the design to go and trace over the lines with a pencil to transfer it. Trace your design onto a piece of tissue paper. Then, position the tissue paper on the cooler where you want the design to go and draw over the outline with a fine-point permanent marker. The marker will bleed through the tissue paper and transfer onto the cooler. Use small paint brushes to apply the paint so you can be more detailed. If you want to do multiple colors in the same design, do 1 color at a time and let the paint dry in between colors otherwise, the colors might smudge together. It may be easier if you lay the cooler on its side so the side you're painting is facing up. If you do this, you'll need to paint 1 side at a time and let the paint dry in between sides. The thinner the coat of paint, the less time it will take to dry. After a few hours, touch the paint to see if it's completely dry. If it is, you can add additional colors to your designs, start on a new side of the cooler, or move on to sealing the cooler.
summary: Paint the cooler background with acrylic paint. Let the paint dry for 24 hours. Print out any designs or lettering you want to put on the cooler. Trace the designs and lettering onto the cooler using carbon paper. Use printer paper to transfer your designs if you don't have carbon paper. Try tissue paper if you don't have carbon printer paper. Fill in the designs and lettering with acrylic paint. Let the painted designs and lettering dry for several hours.
