Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify symptoms of ODD. Notice a tendency toward victimhood. Discuss your child's reactions. Acknowledge the need to be in control. Talk about constructive ways to handle a difficult situation.

Answer: Children with ODD tend to exhibit certain behaviors that identify ODD, usually beginning in preschool and almost always presenting before the early teen years. While all children experience behavior difficulties, a child with ODD will display a "frequent and persistent pattern" of hostile and disobedient behavior. If you identify four or more of the following behaviors in your child that cause problems at home, school, and other environments, which have lasted six months or more, take your child to a therapist to see if he fits a formal diagnosis: Loses temper often Argues frequently with adults Refuses to comply with requests from adults Deliberately annoys people, is easily annoyed by others Blames others for his mistakes or misbehavior Is angry or resentful Is spiteful or vindictive Children with ODD often experience themselves as victims, and believe that their actions of punching a wall or hurting another child are justified. Remind the child that she is allowed to feel angry, resentful, and upset. She may even be a victim in a situation. However, often the reaction is more severe than the original offense. While your child may be rightfully upset, he is in charge of his behaviors and reactions. Nobody made him react in a harmful or negative way; he chose it. Acknowledge that bad things happen, but that it's his decision how to respond to things, even when something unfair happens. Ask your child, "If someone is mad at you, is it okay if she hits you? What about if you're mad at someone? Can you hit him? What's the difference?" Children with ODD often will go to extreme lengths to feel in control. You may start by discussing your child hitting his sibling, and end up in a power struggle about something unrelated. Instead of engaging the struggle, disengage from the situation. You can steer the conversation back to the original point, or you may choose to walk away. Recognize when your child is arguing to defend himself or whether it is coming from a place of wanting power. Your child doesn't just need to know how not to respond, but how to respond well. You can discuss or even role-play situations to help them learn constructive responses. Talk about... Taking deep breaths or counting to calm down Setting boundaries, such as "I need some alone time" and "Please don't touch me." Using "I" language What to do when someone else doesn't respect their boundaries or feelings Getting help when they are upset or confused

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set aside the following supplies. Blend the brown sugar, honey and water in a microwaveable container. Heat the mixture until it bubbles and turns brown. Let it cool. Apply the sugar wax with your stick or flat knife between or below your eyebrow. Place a cloth strip on the brow. Put vitamin E lotion or another moisturizing product onto the areas. Repeat these same steps to do the opposite brow.

Answer: Two teaspoons brown sugar, one teaspoon honey, one teaspoon water, butter knife or Popsicle stick, and cloth strips for peeling the mixture off. You can also heat it up on the stove if you don't have a microwave. You need to find the right balance, though. If you don't heat it long enough, it will be too soft and sticky. If you heat it too long, it turns into hard candy. You may have to experiment with a few batches until you get it right. Generally, 30 to 35 seconds is good. It will take longer to heat if you're using the stove. This part is also important. You won't know if you've heated it too much until it cools down. If it's too thick, dilute it with a little water. For safety reasons, only do one brow at a time. And if you feel jittery at all doing it yourself, stop and ask someone to apply for you. Remember you're working with a small area. Be careful to not accidentally get wax on the area you just finished! If you do, though, it's not the end of the world, just dab a little baby oil on it to take it off. Press and smooth it in the same direction as the hair. Let it set for several seconds. Next, pull the cloth off in the opposite direction from the hair. Know ahead of time that sugar wax is not as painful as paraffin wax can sometimes be!. You don't want to skip this step, as it reduces puffiness and redness in just a couple minutes. Wait a few minutes, then wipe off. Take your time. You want it to match as perfectly as possible to the other brow. Otherwise, you could have eyebrows with two different shapes! Fill in any sparse areas with pencil or powder; tweeze stray hairs.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write a succinct, single-sentence statement about your subject. Choose 3 to 5 supporting points for your topic. Choose how to keep your speech on point. Decide whether you want to use visual aids. Write a brief biographical introduction about yourself.

Answer:
Try to write something that will hook your audience so that you immediately grab their attention. Try starting the speech writing process by free-writing. Write as much as you can about your subject as fast as you can. Don't worry about judgment or crafting perfect sentences. Once you have your points on paper, you can start refining them and putting them in order. Use an anecdote or a quote. Sometimes, someone else has already said it better than you ever will. A quote, provided it hasn't been overused, can help you get things started. Just be sure to look for a quote that is surprising or unique, and always credit your source. Be cautious about opening with a joke unless you know your audience well. You may think that a joke is funny, but your audience may find it humorless or even offensive. Make sure that your points are concise and direct. You can start by looking at generic sources like an encyclopedia or Wikipedia, but you need to fact check your ideas with more authoritative sources after you generally understand your subject. Draw on your own experience. If you have a long history with your topic, your experiences and personal stories can be great resources. Just keep these stories succinct so that you don't ramble and lose the audience's attention. Decide whether you want to write out your speech or to outline the speech on index cards. Consider your comfort level with the topic. If you know the topic well and can improvise easily, then use index cards. Use 1 card for the introduction. This card should include your opening statement. Use 1 or 2 cards for each supporting point. Then, create 1 card for the conclusion which ties back to the main idea of your speech. Write brief sentence fragments or even single words on your cards. These words or fragments should contain key phrases that remind you of what you want to say. If you feel insecure or don't know the subject well, write out the words of your speech exactly as you want to say them. The choice to use visual aids will depend on the size of your audience and the length of your speech. A long speech, for example, may be easier to sit through with some visuals to break it up. You may create a Prezi or a PowerPoint presentation to go along with your speech, or you may choose to use paper-based charts and graphs. Keep the visuals to a minimum. You want them to aid your speech, not to overshadow it. Always make sure your speech can stand on its own should technical problems occur. Make sure that the audience can read the content of your visuals. Too big is better than not big enough. Check the facilities of the room in which you will be speaking. If you need Internet or you need a projection screen, be sure that the facility has the equipment. Arrive to the room early to make sure everything is functional for your speech. Providing your credentials before your speech can help you set your tone, and give you the chance to list your credentials without bragging. Use this to let the audience get an assessment of who you are, and take the moment to introduce not only your background but your style of speaking.If someone will be introducing you before your speech, then providing this introduction beforehand will be helpful. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2f\/Do-Research-Step-19.jpg\/v4-460px-Do-Research-Step-19.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2f\/Do-Research-Step-19.jpg\/aid9476-v4-728px-Do-Research-Step-19.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>
