{
"content": "Right, I'm hearing that you'd like to fence as a hobby. Here's a quick and dirty breakdown of the main concepts: \nI've heard that in modern times the sport of fencing is defined by a set of rules developed by the International Fencing Federation. The rulebook is very long, so I'm going to just talk about the highlights.\n\n- Fencing is a “live” sport, that means that if you make contact with an opponent your attack is “successful”, and if they make contact with you, your attack is “blocked” or “defended”.\n- During a bout, fencers start on opposite sides of the “En Garde Line”, and once a fencer crosses the line, their attack is “commenced”. (A fencer does not need to cross the line to defend an attack though).\n- The attacking fencer begins the bout by “making a Salute”. This is a sort of wave with the sword that indicates the fencer is attacking.\n- After the Salute, fencers must cross the En Garde Line and make “an Approach”. This is a way of approaching the opponent, the first fencer’s sword must cross the line between them, but their own sword must not cross it. A fencer can move any way they want from there, but they may not retreat to their starting position.\n- After crossing the line the fencers begin to advance (for example in “en guarde”). The point of this is to put as much space as possible between them. They advance at their own speed, but as soon as one fencer makes a threatening move or makes a “lunge”, the other fencer is not allowed to continue advancing.\n- The attacker (starting in “en guarde”) may make a “réclame”, “counter-attack”, or “récu” which is a kind of parry. A parry is a defensive maneuver, usually involving grabbing the opponent’s blade with your own. The attacking fencer must not do the parry until after the first one, otherwise the opponent can claim that the parry is an offense.\n- The first fencer may also make a “monomachie”, which is a sort of attack involving just a single move with the sword. This must be done before any other attack, including the reclame or the counter-attack.\n- There are two ways to end a bout. The “check” is a mutual withdrawal of the swords at the same time, and the “recovery” is the first fencer withdrawing their sword.\n- A bout can be “won” by any of the following: (i) by the fencer who makes the first check, (ii) by the fencer who successfully executes a “récu” or “réclame”, (iii) by the fencer who makes a successful “monomachie”.\n- A fencer who fails to make a check or a récu is said to have been “punished”, and the other fencer is the “victor”. The fencer who was “punished” is said to have been “recovered” by the victorious fencer.\n- The victor of a bout is said to have won it “on points”, and has a numerical score based on the “target points” achieved during the bout. The points are in the 30 to 0 range, and they are awarded for specific actions, like counter-attacking, making a parry, lunging, scoring a touch, and others.\n-",

So here are a few ideas: 1. Have a friend or family member help watch her sleep for a couple of nights. The person can be right outside the door and she’ll just be in the room and sleeping. 2. Ask the same friend or family member to tuck her in bed before you leave, and have her sleep in a room without you. 3. Have your child sleep in your bed with you, and encourage her to try to fall asleep on her own. Then you can sneak out of bed in the morning without waking her. 4. If your child still wakes up in the night, you can go and stay with her and just cuddle. She’ll probably be happy and go back to sleep, and she’ll hopefully learn how to fall asleep on her own.",
