To make edible eyeliner, roll out a piece of fondant in the color of your choice. For example, if you want to make a green eyeliner, then roll out a piece of green fondant. If you want a black eyeliner, then roll out a piece of black fondant. Make sure that the fondant cylinders are about the same diameter and length as an actual eyeliner pencil. You can use an actual eyeliner pencil to help you get the dimensions right. Cut off the ends of the cylinder so that they are flat. Next, make a beige cone that is about the same diameter as the cylinder you just created. Then cut off the tip of the cone and the bottom of the cone so that it has a flat edge on the top and on the bottom. Attach the cone to the cylinder with a drop of water. Next, get a small piece of the same color fondant as you use for the cylinder. Then, shape the piece into a cone. This cone will be the tip of your fondant eyeliner, so make sure that it is nice and pointy. Attach the tip to the top of the beige cone with a drop of water and set the pencil aside to dry.

Summary: Roll fondant into an eyeliner sized tube. Create a beige cone for the wood part of the tip. Shape a smaller cone for the pencil tip.

This can damage and further irritate the skin and can lead to an infection. You may even have some depilatory cream still under your nails. Wear loose clothes that won't rub or chafe the rash and possibly cause a friction burn. When using a cloth to wash the Nair off, don't rub too hard or scrub and try not to wipe the same area too many times. Depending on the type of soap and severity of the rash, you could make the rash worse by using soap when you shower. Pick a mild, fragrance-free cleaner or a gentle non-abrasive soap such as Cetaphil and use as little soap as possible. Do not use deodorant soaps. You might also try an oatmeal bath, which can give some relief. You can add ground oatmeal directly to warm bath water or make a sachet. You should wait 24 hours before applying deodorant, perfumes, makeup, or tanning lotions to the area where you've used the cream. These products can cause you to develop a rash or possibly a chemical burn. Wait 24 hours before going swimming or sunbathing. Choose unscented baby wipes that contain aloe in place of toilet paper if the rash is on your bikini area.

Summary: Don't touch or scratch the affected area. Use soap with care when you shower. Don't shave or reapply cream for 72 hours after using a depilatory cream. Use baby wipes instead of toilet paper.

If your child's defiance is extreme and persistent, they may have Oppositional Defiant Disorder. You will need a diagnosis from a psychiatrist to confirm this and clinical talk therapy to treat it. The classic symptoms of ODD include consistently irritable mood, an extreme tendency toward argumentativeness, impulsivity, vindictiveness, and significant behavioral problems at school. ODD is often accompanied by antisocial behavior and self-harm. The symptoms of ODD generally begin to show before the age of 8. The symptoms should persist for a least six months before a diagnosis can be made. ADHD is an increasingly common diagnosis for children with persistent behavioral problems. You will need a diagnosis from a psychiatrist to confirm this. There are a host of cognitive and talk therapies designed to treat ADHD as well as stimulate medications like Ritalin and Adderall. ADHD is typified by a persistent inability to stay focused. It can also be accompanied by hyperactivity, absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, mood swings, anxiety, and depression. Talk to your children regularly so you know what is going on in their lives. Acting out may be related to stress they are experiencing unrelated to the current situation. For example, maybe they are being bullied or are bored with what they are being taught. This can lead to behavior similar to ADHD. Persistent defiance can be a sign of traumatic stress in children. The cause of trauma can be physical like abuse, bullying, or experiencing a car crash or more emotional like going through a parental divorce or the death of a family member. If your child is expressing bad behavior because of traumatic stress, you will likely need to see a therapist for more information about causes and treatment. A sharp change in behavior and mood after a potentially traumatic event is an obvious sign that it is linked to the event. Anti-social behavior, mood swings, and a loss of cognitive skills problem-solving are also warning signs that bad behavior is linked to trauma. Speaking to a therapist will help get to the real issues behind your child's behavior. Medications can just keep symptoms at bay.
Summary: Know the signs of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Know the signs of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Know the signs of trauma.
