Alicia Hart explains how real women can glide up and down stairs with grace. Visualize a line along the wall to guide your rhythm, keep knees bent, walk erect, and lightly touch the rail for security while avoiding flailing arms and hip bounce.

A neighbor’s children routinely enter your house without knocking. The proper response is to set a firm rule that they must knock on arrival, and enforce it by sending them back outside to knock if they forget. Do not rely on the mother to intervene.
