Vinyl seats are the easiest type of seats to clean, since spills and messes usually just wipe off. Spray an all-purpose glass cleaner on the seats and wipe them down with a soft cloth. Work on one seat area at a time so that the glass cleaner doesn't run down and drip onto the floor. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean and polish vinyl seats. Make a paste of the two ingredients and rub it over the upholstery, one seat at a time. To finish the job, rinse the seats off with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the seats dry with a clean, soft cloth. Oil-based cleaners will harden your vinyl seats, so you should refrain from using these types. On the seat upholstery, there are seams where the upholstery has been sewn together. Dirt and debris can easily gather here and it is often hard to lift this dirt with a vacuum or cloth. Use a toothbrush to get at these areas, scrubbing gently with your cleaner. Remove the floor mats from the car and clean them using the same cleaner that you've used on the rest of the upholstery. To clean the mats, make an all-purpose upholstery cleaner by mixing 1 part water with 1 part dishwashing liquid. Spray the mixture onto the mat and brush with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and use a microfiber cloth to dry the mats. For rubber or vinyl mats, you can also apply liquid wax shoe polish to them. This will help improve their shine and will also make them easier to rinse off and keep clean.

Talk to your guidance counselor about what options are available for PSAT prep at your school. Most schools offer classes and workshops that are geared towards preparing students for the PSAT exam. Typically, these classes meet once a week after school for several weeks, or are live online courses that last several weeks. If you find a PSAT prep course at your school, it is most likely free for enrolled students. Taking PSAT prep courses is important, so make sure you find one in your community. You might have to look at neighboring schools, even universities, to find one in your area. This is an especially good idea if your school doesn't currently offer a PSAT prep class. There are quite a few online PSAT prep courses that are intended to help you score higher on PSAT exam when you actually take it. These online classes help you review strategies and techniques that have proven successful for taking the PSAT. These courses often cost between $300 and $1000 US, depending on the length and intensity of the course. You can typically choose which subject you need the most help with and focus on that section of the text. Or you can sign up for several modules that will cover more of the test subjects. This is really only necessary if you want to qualify as a National Merit scholar or if you want to get a really high SAT score for a college scholarship. A PSAT tutor can help you go through sample tests, learn helpful test-taking skills, and explain any concepts or topics you might be struggling with. These types of tutors typically cost between $15 and $25 US per hour, depending on level of education and experience. The PSAT doesn't count for college admission, but it does give you an idea of what kind of score you'll get on the SAT when you take it.

A child who is three years of age or older can usually understand if you explain why she needs to take medication. If your child is still having a hard time taking her medication, be honest and explain in terms that she can understand. It's important to be honest with your child and not lie to make things better. You may find that appealing to your toddler's sense of reasoning can help her take the medication. Tell your child you know the medicine tastes bad and that the bad taste will go away quickly if she takes it quickly and in a way you suggested. Explain why medication will help your toddler. Asking your toddler why the medication is necessary can help start a simple conversation that may help her take the meds. Remember to reassure your child and be honest. Say, "I know this medication tastes bad, but taking it will make you feel better." You may want to bolster this statement by adding something tempting like, "You'll be able to go back to the playground soon if you take your medication." If your child is having difficulty taking one form of medication, see if others are available. Many companies offer their medications in liquid, capsule, and chewable options to appeal to a variety of patients. Get in contact with your doctor to see if he can prescribe a different delivery method for your child's medication. Consider asking your doctor if you can get the medication in a higher concentration, which may mean a smaller dose. Make sure to let your child know if you change the delivery method. For example, you can say, "No more yucky pills. I got you a medicine you can drink that is purple and tastes like strawberries!" If your child is being especially uncooperative, enlist the help of a friend or loved one. This may not be pleasant for any of you, but it can help get the process over quickly. You should only use this method if your child is taking liquid medication to prevent choking. Have one adult hold the child sitting on her lap. This adult can use her hands to keep the toddler's hands and head from moving. With one hand, open your child's mouth by pushing on his chin or running your fingers inside his cheek and pushing down on his lower jaw. With the other hand, insert a pre-filled syringe between your child's teeth and drip it onto the back of the tongue. Keep your child's mouth closed until he swallows. Tell your child following the dose, "I'm very sorry we had to give you medicine this way. If you help out next time, we won't have to hold you." You may want to give your child a hug or some other type of positive reinforcement in addition to this. In some cases, your child may spit out or vomit her medication. If this happens, contact your health care provider and explain what happened. He can let you know the best way to proceed for you and your child. Avoid repeating a dose unless you've spoken to your doctor. Some medications can be given again without a problem, but even a little bit of others may be harmful. If all else fails, speak to your child's doctor. She may have alternative suggestions about how to give your child the medication. The doctor may also prescribe something new that looks or tastes better or comes in a different form. Avoid forcing your child to take capsules or chewable tabs. While you can force a child to take liquid medication, capsules and chewable tabs are another story. There is a very real danger of choking and aspirating the drug into the lungs, which is a serious medical emergency. Consult with your health professional for ideas on how to give your child medicine without forcing him, which is a better idea than forcing medication on a resistant child.
