As educators and parents, you can make learning more fun by capitalizing on children's love for all things digital. In addition to lecturing, use digital presentation tools to present your lessons. If you are a teacher, incorporate brief educational videos into your lectures. If you are a parent, use brief educational videos to explain concepts your child is struggling to grasp. Instead of learning a world language, allow your kids to learn how to code. As a teacher and parent, consider supplementing lectures and traditional readings with educational videos, podcasts, and plays. Kids that may appear inattentive during a lecture, may be captivated by audio-visual materials. Show and listen to materials that are relevant to what the kids are learning.

Q: This helps give you energy while getting your body hydrated. Set the glass of water out next to your bed before you go to sleep, or simply wake up and fill a cup up with water as soon as you get out of bed. This includes tasks like brushing your teeth, washing your face, and brushing your hair. Cold water is effective in helping people wake up, so try splashing your face with cold water or taking a quick cold shower, if necessary. Try to keep your bathroom routine consistent so that it becomes a habit. The right breakfast can help you wake up and can keep you feeling healthy and energetic throughout the day. Try eating something such as eggs which are full of protein, or toast and some fruit if you're on the go. Granola and oatmeal are also healthy options. Consider making a smoothie full of healthy fruits, vegetables, and yogurt. Exercise is a great way to get your body moving, improve your energy levels, and make you feel invigorated. If you don't have time for a full workout, go for a short walk or do some jumping jacks to help get your blood pumping. Go for a jog around your neighborhood, or try some morning yoga. As opposed to starting off your day by watching TV or lounging around at home, try getting things done in the morning such as any errands or small tasks. You'll feel more accomplished and motivated for the rest of the day. Make a to-do list before you go to bed or when you wake up that morning to see what you need to get done. The tasks could include things such as walking the dog, doing the dishes, or stopping by the post office.
A: Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up. Go through your bathroom routine. Have a healthy breakfast. Get some exercise. Start your day off motivated and productive.

Q: Keep your plans secret from your spouse. Hide or lock up anything that might let them know you want to get away. If your spouse goes through your things, store your personal items at a friend or family member's house. Your spouse may sabotage your plans or become more dangerous if they know you are about to leave. Confide in a family member, neighbor, or friend about your spouse's abuse and your plans to leave. Tell them when you are planning to escape and where you will go. Ask them to check in on you afterwards to ensure you got out safely. If you decide to talk to a family member, choose carefully. Family members sometimes tip off spouses before a planned escape. Only confide in those you trust deeply. If your neighbors are trustworthy, you can also ask them to call the police if they hear your spouse abusing you or your kids before you leave. Change your phone number or get a new phone when you leave your spouse. Create new passwords and PIN numbers for your online accounts, including your bank account, email account, and social media accounts. If your spouse harasses you over the phone or online, block them. If you think there is any chance your spouse might have installed a keylogger or other tracking software on your computer, don't use it. Use a computer at a public library or internet cafe until you can get a clean computer of your own. Be cautious when you go anywhere by yourself, especially at night. Park close to buildings and avoid using headphones. Stay away from places where your spouse might look for you, and change your route to work, school, and anywhere else you go often. If you feel unsafe, ask somebody to accompany you or call 911 or emergency services. If you're concerned that your spouse may stalk or harass you, consider asking your boss if you can change your hours at work or work from home. If you have kids, discuss potential safety risks with them. Explaining the situation as best you can may help avoid trauma. Teach them how to leave the house safely and call 911, and have them come up with a list of people they can trust if something happens. For example, you might pinpoint a nearby area they can go to if you are in danger, such as a park or neighbor's house. If you have an older adolescent or teen, you might also give them a list of phone numbers of shelters or organizations for abuse victims in case they need to make calls. If you feel threatened by your spouse, you can speak to someone anonymously by calling a hotline. They can help you stay safe and advise you on developing an escape plan. For those in the U.S., you can get support by calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. For those in the UK, call 0808 2000 247 to reach a 24-hour helpline. If your spouse threatens to harm you or your children, you may need to file for an order of protection against them. You may file a restraining order against a current or former spouse, even if you left some time ago. Reach out to your city's courthouse to find out the protocol in your area. This order can help you keep your children in your care and away from an abusive spouse. It also may help you stay in your family home temporarily (and have your spouse removed) until the hearing date. Usually, no fees are associated with filing a restraining order.
A:
Be discreet before you leave. Let someone know what is going on. Protect your phone and online accounts. Follow good safety practices. Talk to your kids. Call a hotline. File for a restraining order.
