Article: . Think about your current family relationships. Identify the ones that are toxic, and distinguish them from the ones that are simply difficult. You may want to work with a mental health professional if you feel comfortable with this. A mental health professional can help you to identify toxic relationships. Abuse, constant negativity, and manipulation are several indications that a relationship is toxic. The line between a difficult relationship and a toxic one can be blurry. Trust your own judgment and keep in mind that some people may try to minimize what you are experiencing. However, if you know someone is abusive, then do not accept other people's excuses for them. Think about whether you can find ways to deal with dysfunctional family dramas without cutting relatives out of your life. Consider skipping certain family gatherings, standing up to bullies, or ignoring conflicts instead of arguing with your relatives. Finding a simple solution may not always be possible. However, de-escalating negative situations is often less stressful than cutting ties completely. Look into ALANON, which is a group that started as a way to help and support the family members of people with substance abuse. However, this organization has expanded to help people in all sorts of situations. Before you detach yourself from a relative, think about how the action may affect the rest of your life, including your other family relationships. Make sure you're prepared to deal with the potential negative consequences of cutting ties. For example, you might choose to cut ties with one sibling who has toxic tendencies and your others sibling may see this as an affront. As a result, you lose two siblings. You will have to weigh the costs of whether the toxic person is worth keeping around to preserve other relationships. Try making a pros and cons list to help you determine if severing the relationship is worth the benefits and costs. Keep it somewhere that you can read over it often. You may also want to ask a friend or family member to help you with making the list because they might think of some things that you would not. Just as breaking away from dysfunctional relatives will cause emotional pain or discord, it might also bring you peace. This is especially true if your relatives tend to muddy your life with their toxic behaviors. For instance, if you have family members who steal, lie, cheat, bully, or abuse drugs and alcohol, they likely cause you more stress than joy. Your mental health and peace of mind will benefit from stepping away from these people. Look over your pros and cons list if you have already made one. If not, then make a pros and cons list to help you understand the costs and benefits if you decide not to cut ties. Read over your list often and ask a friend or family member to help you add to it.

Problem: Article: Your child may have mastered staying dry during the day, but that does not mean that he or she will be ready to stay dry at night. For most children, it's fine to keep them in diapers (or pull-up style disposable underwear) until they start waking up dry most mornings. Understand that developmentally, each child is different. Some children can stay dry at night during the toddler years; others are still having accidents at age six or beyond. Try not to compare your son or daughter to other children. Once you decide to give up nighttime diapers, you'll want to prepare for the inevitable accidents. Get a waterproof cover to put under the sheets but above the mattress, to protect it from damage. When your child has an accident in the middle of the night, it's helpful to have clean sheets and pajamas nearby. That way, you can simply remove the soiled sheets, wipe the waterproof cover with a cloth, put clean sheets on the bed, and help your child change into fresh sleepwear. As your child gets older, you may want to enlist his or her help in this routine. Most preschoolers can remove soiled sheets, put on clean pajamas, and help you put clean linens on the bed. Accidents will happen and, indeed, they may happen very frequently at first and it's important that you support your child and take them in stride. Tell your child that learning to stay dry at night is a process and that it's okay if it takes some time.
Summary: Wait until your child is ready. Buy a waterproof mattress cover. Keep spare linens and pajamas close at hand. Maintain a relaxed attitude.

Article: Look in the book that you received when you purchased your unit or pull up your unit's manual online. There should be a section discussing enclosures or possible obstructions. It should state the recommended distance between any structures and the unit. Not following these guidelines when installing an enclosure or other structure could negate your warranty. If the air can't circulate around your machine, then it will be less efficient and more costly to operate. Keep the foot of space around the unit open and free of any obstructions. Keep any plants that you've placed around the unit trimmed back. No matter which concealment method you choose, make sure to keep your unit accessible for any service professionals. Look for access panels on the sides or top of the machine and leave enough room for them to be opened, if necessary.
