article: If you have a scent sensitivity, it's a good idea to use lotions, laundry detergents, and other products that are fragrance-free; however, be careful when choosing products. You want to make sure you are getting a product that truly lacks the chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions for people with a scent sensitivity. If a product is labeled "fragrance-free," this means it does not contain any chemicals or compounds known to trigger allergic reactions. If a product is labeled "unscented," it may contain compounds and chemicals that contain potential allergens even if the product itself lacks a smell. Certain chemicals are likely to affect scent sensitivity. When purchasing a product, scan the label for the following chemicals: Acetone Alpha-Pinene Alpha-Terpineol Benzyl Acetate Benzyl Alcohol Benzaldehyde Camphor Ethanol Ethyl Acetate g-Terpinine Limonene Linalool Scented candles are best avoided if you have a scent sensitivity. They often contain chemicals that can trigger an allergic reaction. Do not use scented candles in your home, or air fresheners that contain similar chemicals. If you want to freshen up the smell of your house, try bringing flowers in from outdoors. Natural scents may be less likely to bother your sensitivity. Smells can be a huge problem around the holiday season. Artificial scents and natural scents are present during this time of year. Work on minimizing your exposure to cope. It may be better to use an artificial tree, as pollen from natural trees can cause allergic reactions. Go for a tree that is fragrance-free. If you're invited to parties, politely let the hosts know that you have a scent sensitivity. Inform them what they can do to help, such as avoiding lighting scented candles. Take precautions when going shopping around Christmas, as stores may use a lot of artificial scents during the Christmas season. You may want to bring any medication a doctor has prescribed for your sensitivity with you when shopping.

Write an article based on this "Make physical contact with the person. Be aware of your facial expressions. Send them a gift. Coordinate people to send them meals."
article: Making physical contact can reassure someone that you care and are available to them. Put your hand on their shoulder, or give them a hug. If you are not that comfortable with the person you are sympathizing with, shake their hand. Cease any unwanted physical contact. If the person seems to be moving away or uncomfortable making contact with you, do not force it. How you say something is as important as what you say. Make sure that your facial expressions match the condolences you are offering in a bad situation. For example, you should not say "I am so sorry for your loss/luck," with a huge smile. A neutral expression is usually best. This means relaxed eyebrows, making eye contact, and a neutral mouth (not smiling or frowning). The gift you send does not need to be expensive or elaborate. In many cases, just sending a card would be sufficient to express your sympathies. You can also send flowers to someone to express your sympathy for their current plight. Another way to show your sympathy and help in a tough time is to bring the person meals. This can free them of the need to cook for several days or weeks, and allow them the time and space to cope with their situation. The more people you can get to participate, the easier it will be to provide steady meals. There are websites that allow people to sign up for specific meals on specific dates, which may make it easier for you to organize meal delivery. This way, the meals can be spaced out and you won't make the mistake of bringing multiple meals on the same day.

Write an article based on this "Arrive on time. Dress appropriately. Deliver an opening statement. Call witnesses. Cross-examine the witnesses for the other side. Deliver a closing argument. Wait for the court's decision."

When your trial date arrives, get to the courthouse early. You will be required to go through a security checkpoint, which will look and feel a lot like airport security. Once you get through security, go to your courtroom and wait until your case is called. An important part of being successful in court involves dressing professionally. A courtroom is considered a professional and serious venue, so you need to dress that way. Always wear a suit if you have one. You should always avoid wearing shorts, sandals, and hats. You or your lawyer will need to give the judge a roadmap of what the evidence will show. The opening statement should be brief, but should summarize what evidence will support your claim to full custody. Do not engage in argument. Emotions can run high in a custody hearing, but there is nothing to argue about during the opening statement because no evidence has been admitted into court yet. As the petitioner (the person seeking joint custody), you will present witnesses first. The respondent (the other parent) will then have an opportunity to cross-examine each witness. Do not ask leading questions. A leading question states a fact and then asks the witness to agree. For example, "You never spank your child, do you?" is a leading question. Instead, the lawyer should ask a series of questions such as "How often does your son misbehave?" "Do you punish him?" "How do you punish him?" Then the attorney can ask, "Have you ever spanked your son?" Ask witnesses to identify any documents you want introduced into evidence. You must first elicit testimony that a document is what you claim it is before it can be admitted into evidence. The purpose of cross-examination is to either discredit the witness or to minimize the testimony by showing that the witness is biased or lacking in sufficient knowledge to testify about the matter. You can impeach a witness with a prior inconsistent statement. If a witness ever praised you as a parent, then that statement can be introduced if the witness now claims on the stand that you are a bad parent. If someone testifies that you and your child fight, then you can minimize the damage by highlighting how infrequently the witness sees you with your child. Always try to remain calm. If you feel anger overwhelming you, close your eyes for five seconds and breathe deeply. You or your lawyer will summarize your case, explicitly linking evidence to the best interest of the child factors provided in you state's statute. Counter bad facts as best as you can. If you don't have a clean criminal record, then concede that fact before highlighting the evidence that shows you have lived responsibly for the past several years. Once your trial is over, the judge will make a decision regarding your case. If you prevail, you will have obtained joint custody of your child. If you were unsuccessful at trial, you can choose to appeal the judge's decision if you think they made a mistake.
