Problem: Article: Your asthma action plan should clearly indicate when you should encourage a child to use their rescue albuterol inhaler.

You can determine what caused the attack later. if the child appears to have significant trouble breathing or persistent coughing or wheezing. This can indicate an asthma emergency, which can be life-threatening. Signs that a child is having a very difficult time breathing include: Having trouble speaking without gasping Using abdominal muscles to breathe Having flared nostrils while inhaling Leaning forward in a sitting position to breathe Breathing in so hard the stomach is sucked in beneath the ribs (especially in children under age 5) Breathing faster than usual Your asthma action plan should indicate what level of peak flow reading indicates an asthma emergency.

Problem: Article: The biggest type of flattery people use on girls is complimenting their appearance. Remember though, some girls like to be appreciated for their intelligence, physical skills or abilities. There is a way to do this without being creepy or focusing too much on the physical side of a woman. Use a specific compliment like "I really like the way your sweater brings out the colour in your eyes." A specific compliment is tailored to the girl and is more than just "you're cute," or "you're attractive." Another good way is to notice the way she puts together her outfits. If she's wearing a pair of awesome earrings say something like "Those earrings look really good on you. You have great taste." Do not, do not, do not, make a sexual comment ("nice rack," or "I'd hit that") unless you know the girl really well and she has accepted that sort of comment. Most girls find that sort of comment creepy. " These are boring compliments and way overused and inappropriate on girls under 16. Try for something a little more unusual and interesting. Even "beautiful" can be overused. A different way of saying that she's attractive will intrigue her, because she's unlikely to have heard it before. A few good words to try: "radiant," "breathtaking," "elegant," "riveting," or "dazzling" to name a few. You could even use something like "incredibly" which could mean both her appearance and her personality and accomplishments. Too often people stick to only complimenting or flattering a woman's looks. You'll need to widen your flattery to include her personality as well. Make sure that you are being as specific and sincere as possible when talking about her personality, otherwise she won't take you seriously. Tell her something like "I love the way you brighten up any party and manage to make everything more fun just by being there." Or note how kind and generous she is. If she helps out her friends and family all the time, you could say something like "It's amazing how much you do for other people. Just make sure to take some time to care for yourself!" You'll both show that you notice what she does and who she is, but you'll also show that you care about her. Girls, just like other members of the human race, don't want to be noticed for their appearance alone. Find out things that she's done that she's proud of and compliment her on them. If she plays an instrument or sings, ask her to perform for you. Praise her ability when she's finished. Make sure it's specific. You could say something like "I love the way you're so amazing at holding those high notes." If she's just beat a difficult video game, tell her how impressive that is. (Do NOT say "You're really good for a girl;" that is not a compliment.) If she's just done something like completed her dissertation, or gotten her PHD, compliment her on her chosen field and how much work she has put into achieving her goals. Flattery is about letting someone know how important and wonderful they are, so tell a girl what she means to you and why she is so important to you. For example, you could say something like "I find it really easy and fun to talk to you." Another example: "Nobody else can make me laugh the way you do." You're drawing attention to something specific and wonderful that she does and framing it in a way that makes your unique and important to you. Letting her know that you think her ideas are important is a great form of flattery. It will make her feel smart and like you are listening when she talks and take an interest in her thoughts. If she does a lot of artistic type work (of any kind, writing, visual arts, photography, music, etc) tell her that you think she's incredibly creative. Even better, give a specific example of her creativity. Say something like "I love the way you used the green in that painting; it really stood out beautifully." This will flatter her because it will show that you have respect for her and what she thinks and that you're paying attention to her ideas. If you know she's interested in politics, engage her on the subject. Tell her that she really makes you think. Especially ask for her opinion on something that you know she's an expert on. If the woman you're complimenting is a marine biologist, for example ask her opinion on something to do with the ocean.
Summary:
Compliment something specific about her appearance. Use alternatives to "hot" and "sexy. Compliment her personality. Compliment one of her accomplishments. Let her know what she means to you. Compliment her ideas. Ask for her opinion.
