I spy is a great way for parents and educators to teach younger children about letters and the names of different objects. To start, settle down somewhere that you can place objects in front of the child. In order for this game to work, the child needs to have already begun learning the names of different objects, because the game is used to reinforce that knowledge. Pick a household object, such as a toy, utensil, or stuffed animal whose name the child has learned. Place the object down in front of the child on the mat, floor, or tray. In this version of the game, the object isn't to get the child to guess what object you've chosen, but rather to encourage the child to come up with the name of the object you've put down. This game also works for older children who are in the process of learning a new language, and the game can be used as a learning exercise for foreign words. Just like if you were playing with older children, say the rhyme to give the hint. For this version of the game, focus on letters, and specifically the first letter of the object. As the child progresses and gets better with names and spelling, you can try going by the last letter of the object too. For instance: "I spy with my little eye, something that starts with the letter S" for a spoon "I spy something and it ends with the letter G" for a toy dog This game only works with familiar objects because the child already has to have learned what the objects are in order to be able to name them. If the child needs some more help, begin sounding out the name of the object one letter at a time. For the word "spoon," for example, sound out just sp first, then "spoo", until the child is able to come up with the word. As the child advances, you can progress to placing two or three objects down. Choose one particular object that you want the child to identify and name, and then say the rhyme and give the beginning letter. Make sure all the objects start with a different letter. Another advanced version is to lay down five or six objects, two or three of which start with the same chosen letter, and have the child identify and name all the objects that start with that letter. As the child's perception improves, you can stop placing objects down and start using objects in the immediate environment.

Summary: Get the child settled on a play mat or high chair. Select an object the child is familiar with. Give the hint. Let the child guess the name of the object. Advance to using two or more objects.

If you encounter gossiping that focuses on another employee, end it by enlisting help from the gossipers themselves. Confront them and let them know that it's impolite to gossip. Then, encourage them to help you silence the rumor mill. They'll likely feel guilty and happily assist. Let's say you overhear two coworkers whispering about your boss getting a cosmetic procedure. You might say, "I don't know if that's true or not, but I doubt she'll be happy it's going aroundWhy don't you two help me stamp out those rumors? Honestly, they have nothing to do with our job, anyway." Those who pass along damaging information are just as guilty as the person who started the rumor mill. Go to the culprits and discourage them from taking the rumor any further. For example, you might say something along the lines of, "If you wouldn't say that in front of him, I don't think you should be saying it behind his back." In the midst of garden-variety conversations at work, you probably get multiple opportunities to shut down gossip. Start noticing these openings and use them to silence the rumor mill. Stand up for those who are being discussed. Try to steer the conversation away from gossipy topics. For instance, you're talking to a coworker about Bill's report and they say, "Yeah, I hear his wife asked for a divorce." You might counter with, "Bill did a really good job with these numbers. What was your question again?"

Summary: Enlist those who gossip to help you stamp out rumors. Call out instigators. Become skilled at changing the subject.

When you first get into your car, make a habit of putting on your seatbelt. Also, don't let any of your passengers ride with you unless they wear their seat belts. Since it is your vehicle, make it your responsibility to protect everyone inside of it. Don't allow more people in your car than the number of open seat belts. Look for the posted signs and stick to the limit. Keep an eye on your speedometer closely to make sure that you stay on target. Going over the speed limit cuts down your reaction time and is a huge risk factor for accidents. Flip on your signal with plenty of time in advance before turning or changing lanes. This gives other drivers enough time to react before you make any moves. When you are finished turning or changing lanes, then turn it back off. Passing can be one of the most critical skills that new drivers must master. Take your time when deciding to pass and make sure that you've fully cleared the other car before moving back into the lane. Keep to the speed limit when passing, but try to speed up a bit so that you don't hang out in their blind spot. Don't make a move to pass: if there isn't enough space; if the line is solid yellow; if there is a blind spot, like a hill, ahead; if there is a tunnel ahead; or if there is road construction being completed. Just because you are committed to following the law doesn't mean that others drivers will. Don't assume that other people on the road are good drivers. Instead, watch other drivers carefully and take your time before making a move. If you see an aggressive driver, try to get far away from them as quickly as you can. For example, don't assume that another driver will actually make a turn based on them using their turn signal. Wait until they've actually completed their turn before making your move.
Summary: Make everyone wears their seat belts. Go the speed limit. Use your turn signals. Pass with caution. Practice defensive driving.
