INPUT ARTICLE: Article: During the toddler years, it is important to continue involving children in situations where they can interact with other children. This is especially important if there are no siblings in the home. This can be done by enrolling the toddler in some type of childcare or joining a local play group. At this stage in life, a child's world expands greatly because they are mobile and they are learning to speak. In the toddler's mind, everything belongs to the toddler and the social act of sharing becomes an issue. There are many different ways that a parent can handle the development of sharing. However, always keep in mind that the child's concept of ownership of the object is natural and they are acting selfish just to be mean to the other child. In order to help the child pass the social development milestone of learning to share, the child should not be scolded or reprimanded for claiming the object. Instead, the parent should use a calm voice and simple words to discuss the concept of sharing with the toddler and help the toddler separate themselves from the object more easily. During sharing instruction is where the parent can begin to teach simple negotiation techniques such as taking timed turns so that sharing is fair. If the concept is too difficult for the toddler to grasp at the time, then it is best to remove the contested object from the sight and reach of the children. This should be done without placing blame on either of the children. For example, many parents tell the children that the toy is having a "time out". After the children seem to have forgotten the object, it can be returned to the room, but should not be handed to either of the children. Sometimes toddlers act aggressively when another child tries to get a toy or object that they have. They might hit, bite, or in other ways harm the other child in order to retain possession of the object. Of course, this is not socially acceptable behavior, but the parent needs to bear in mind that the toddler is still learning how to behave socially and needs guidance through this stage. The aggressive toddler will usually give physical or verbal warning signs before this negative interaction. In protesting the approach of the other child, the toddler might continually take the object to an area away from the other child or they might simply turn their back toward the other child. Some toddlers will vocalize their disapproval of the approaching child. Even if it is just a grunt or squeal, it is their way of issuing a warning. By learning to recognize these warning signs, the parent can steer their toddler toward a more positive and socially acceptable response to the situation that will help them learn better ways to resolve the conflicts in their lives.

SUMMARY: Continue involving your toddler in social situations. Encourage sharing with friends and family. Teach your toddler simple negotiation or remove a contested object. Recognize aggressive behavior.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Though it can be hard to tell the difference from far away, a quality dress shirt will not only look better but feel better as well. You will have freer movement and the dress shirt will last longer. To make sure you are buying a high-quality piece, look at the crispness of the collar and check for clean stitching. Also look at the paneling along the shoulders. If the shirt has a "split yoke," which is where the panel is made from two different fabric pieces sewn together at an angle, then it is likely to be better made. You can use the dress shirt to bring in pops of color to accentuate the suit or add personality. However, you don't want to go over-the-top with patterns or bright hues. A fluorescent neon shirt is unlikely to go over well in a basic office job. Instead, try to stick to whites, blues, light purples, salmon, and grays. If you are going to wear an undershirt, wear a v-neck so it doesn't show under your collar. The standard rule is that the width of your tie should match the width of the lapels on your suit jacket. So, if your lapels are two-three inches, then your tie should be the same. You should also make sure that your tie partially covers your belt buckle. To do this, you may want to knot the tie to see how long it is when worn properly. The most common knot for a tie is the Windsor knot. This knot looks good with any suit and is common for everyday work attire. You can do either a half-Windsor knot or a full-Windsor knot. Though it may sound odd, a good way to judge which knot to use is to go off of the size of your head. You want the Windsor knot to match. For less formal attire, try a four-in-hand knot.

SUMMARY: Wear your suit with a quality dress shirt. Go for a classically styled shirt. Check the width and length of your tie. Stick to basic knots.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether law dictates that you return, retain, or recover the ring from your ex, you should obey the ruling immediately in order to avoid further fines or sanctions. If you need to return the ring, take it to your lawyer's office so that they can hand it over in a timely and professional manner. If you need to get the ring back from your ex, have your lawyer or a mutual friend make the hand-off in order to avoid emotional, messy scenes. No matter how the issue was decided, you should allow yourself time to reflect on the lost relationship which the engagement ring symbolized. Many psychologists argue that this process resembles the grieving process one endures after a death, so don't underestimate the emotional toll this stage can take. If you find yourself so depressed that you don't leave the house, have trouble sustaining normal eating patterns, or fixating on your ex in unhealthy ways, seek professional help from a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist. You might feel like crawling into a corner and licking your wounds in the aftermath of your painful breakup, but try to resist this impulse to isolation. Studies have shown that meaningful social support such as close friends and family can mitigate a number of the adverse effects of stressfor example, lowering the hike in blood pressure and buffering damage to the cardiovascular and nervous systemas well as accelerate the healing process. Make a special effort to spend time doing things you love with the people you love. A simple afternoon movie with friends or potluck dinner can provide immeasurable emotional comfort while distracting you from the pain of your breakup. Try not to bottle up your emotions. No matter how difficult it may be, try to find a way to process your emotions. For some people, this may involve talking to family and friends, but if this is difficult for you, you may want to find a creative outlet, such as journaling or drawing. Giving yourself time to feel sad and damaged from the broken engagement will eventually help you to find closure in the future. Experts describe this process as one where you soak in the feelings of loneliness and pain in order to let go of them later. Once you're ready, you can forgive your ex-fiancee and yourself for the breakup, which will also contribute to a sense of closure. Some experts even suggest a kind of ceremony when you feel ready to let the engagement go. You can invite a bunch of friends and have a raucous ex-engagement party, or you can organize a smaller, contemplative ritual kind of like a funeral for your relationship. If you've ended up as the rightful owner of the ring, you need to decide what you want to do with this token of your past relationship. In order to make this decision, though, you need to figure out how you feel about the ring and what it symbolizes to you. Ask yourself what emotions you experience when you look at the ring and what you would lose if you relinquished it. For example, if you remain friends with your ex and remain strongly attached to the ring, you might want to keep the ring as a keepsake or alter it into another piece of jewelry. If you still like the ring but associate it with painful and even traumatic memories, you should probably get rid of it.

SUMMARY:
Comply with the court's ruling. Process your emotions regarding the resolution. Rely on your support system. Find closure from time and forgiveness. Decide what the ring means to you.
