Young kids are accustomed to their parents swooping in to help them when they are confused or scared. Try not to let this become a habit during homework time. Your child may need you to read the instructions, but let them take a stab at completing any problems on their own first. If they ask for your help, say, "Let me see you try first." If they ask a question about something, say "What do you think?" When reviewing what they have done, don't check and correct all the work. Make sure they get the hang of it and suggest that they look back over it. But, never correct their work for them. Teachers need a measure of your child's understanding, not yours. You could also review the assignment after the teacher goes through and marks corrections. Although educators believe parental involvement is key to a thriving student, they notice that children whose parents offer more coaching often have poorer performance. Show them how to help themselves instead of over-functioning and doing the work for them. For example, show them how to use resources to check over their work or find answers. Children need to see that you are proud of their accomplishments, so be sure to give a high-five for positive efforts towards a task. You might also display art projects or great test grades. As your child starts to get the hang of doing homework, slowly reduce the amount of time you spend hovering over them. Let them develop some autonomy with homework. Back off a bit and let them come to you if they have questions. Review their work only once they're done rather than throughout the time they're working. Also, give them more physical space by moving your work to another area or allowing them to work in their room or another space. You'll still want to remain in the general area or check in periodically. Kids work best when they know you are nearby.

While data entry is a great resume builder, most people do not stay in the field long-term as salaries are relatively low in comparison to other office positions. Data entry workers make roughly $23,000 to $35,000 a year. Most people fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, pulling in $28,000 a year. Chance of advancement depends on the company and your relationship with your employers. However, there is no specific career path for a data entry work and advancement is not as likely as it might be with other office jobs. As you find data entry positions, try and stay in touch with co-workers and supervisors. Make a good impression and express your interest in a long-term career in the field of data entry. This increases the likelihood that you'll be selected to move up and take on higher paying jobs with more responsibilities in the future. Oftentimes, a data entry position can serve as a stepping stone for other work. Consider what you might want to do long-term. Administrative and customer service positions are often given to longtime data entry workers. If you enjoy working with people, you might learn about these kinds of jobs and talk to your supervisors about how to obtain them. If your data entry is math or science heavy, computer science and other technical positions could open up down the road. Government organizations often provide training programs to help data entry workers up their skill set. This can lead to advanced positions with more responsibilities. Look into programs in your area that cater to your interests and goals.

Take a soft, clean cloth and dip it in petroleum jelly or squirt it with baby oil. Rub the cloth over the entire outside of the boots to soften the leather. This will prevent creases from forming that will dig into your feet and make your new shoes uncomfortable. Over the course of several weeks, you should continue to apply either baby oil or petroleum jelly to the outside of the boots twice per day. Until your Docs are broken in, you'll need blister cushions to protect your feet. Put on your new Doc Martens, walk around your home, and pay attention to where the boot or shoe digs in or rubs against your skin. Then, simply cut blister cushions to fit those areas and apply them to your skin. Blister cushions are available at your local shoe store, drugstore, or supermarket. New Doc Martens are quite sturdy and stiff, making them a bit uncomfortable. To cushion your feet, be sure to wear thick socks, like those made of wool, with your Doc Martens until they are broken in. Thereafter, you can stick with thick socks, go for thin ones, or even pair your Docs with tights. In between applications of petroleum jelly or baby oil, wear the boots around your home for short periods of time to help them break in. Don't plan on wearing a brand new pair for a full day or while walking or hiking, as you'll likely get blisters on your feet. Slowly increase the amount time you wear them per day until they are comfortable enough to wear anywhere.
