Most parents interpret discipline as punishment or implementing sanctions. Not true. The very best discipline is education. Be your child’s coach. Consult Jim Fey’s CDs.

My cat is about 6 mos. She has a food allergy. She is allergic to store brand cat food. I feed her the lamb food. She eats it but would much rather have the store bought cat food I feed my older cat. What happens when she gets store cat food her face and paws swell up. She will spend every minute of the day trying to find food to eat. She climbs on top of my stove, cabinets, counters, tables, she’ll even put her paw down the garbage disposal. She’ll tip over the garbage can. I tried the water bottle. I tried crating her when she is bad. I tried scruffing her. Nothing has worked! Please help.
I thought about putting both cats on the same diet. It would be expensive but probably save me some grief. I feed the cats separately now. I’ll see if my older cat will eat the lamb. Thanks.

You can put double sided tape down on your counters and stove or get those runner mats with the little prongs sticking up to keep her off. As for the trash can, you’ll just have to put that in a closet or cabinet or get a heavier stainless steel one with a lid. You’ll probably have to feed your older cat in another room or remove this cat while the older one eats. Scruffing, yelling, spraying water only causes a stressful environment for your cat and will do more harm than good. Try hiding treats around the house for her to hunt. It will keep her busy looking for appropriate snacks.

I have a 5 year old kid with ADD and even though the teachers are encouraging me to take him to the specialist to get put on lethargic drugs, my friend is telling me that drugs aren’t necessary and firm discipline is all thats required to bring his attention back along with an improvement in his behavior.

If you have dealt with kids with ADD please give me some advice, will it be a ruler across the hands? I don’t want to abuse him, I just want him to pay attention and behave better in school.

A ruler across the hands is nothing… Honestly, I think people nowadays are way too soft! It’s a kid, just don’t beat him, but you can definitely give him a good spanking every now and then.

What my mother always did, and it worked, is to allow other adults to discipline your children. If I misbehaved, my mother would let other people discipline me. This definitely taught me to have respect for all my elders, and I learned that I have to listen to all adults, not just my mother.

You can also do time-outs, not rewarding him, punishing him, etc.

You have to also be careful with the ADD. I don’t know your child’s situation, but there are many kids who are diagnosed with ADD when they do not actually have it. Make sure a true professional handles your child’s case, don’t let a teacher diagnose the situation.

* also, explain how such discipline may be considered part of Philosophy

*explain the nature of the scientific method using the techniques of mathematical logic and discuss the limits of the scientific method

*give and explain how induction, in general, and the scientific method, in particular, on one hand, are related to quantification logic on the other hand. Discuss how quantification logic is founded on the concept of induction.

*give and explain how philosophical logic relates to mathematical logic. Illustrate some of the areas of concern of philosophical logic not covered by mathematical logic.

Like any small business, building an online business will require you to successfully complete a 4 step process. These steps will be a mixture of selecting your marketing strategy, proper scheduling, and continual development of certain skills you’ll need.

As simplistic as this may seem these steps are the cornerstones of any successful online business. Let’s take a quick review of the 4 steps you’ll need to complete in order to insure your online success.

MARKET RESEARCH

Obviously some time and research will be required to determine what market is of the most interest to you. Further market research will be required to see if your market selection is a profitable one. Of course there is much detail that could be discussed however that is not the intent of this article. Suffice is to say that your market selection is VERY important and should be based upon current and accurate research.

Choosing a non-profitable market or one of little interest to you will lead to a lack of success and the need to start over again.

MARKETING STRATEGY

Upon choosing the market you’ll need to decide upon what business model will best enable you to maximize your success. Other criteria you’ll want to consider here would be your current skill set, available resources, and other assets needed to implement the marketing strategy you’ve selected.

Now you’ll need to plan out in advance what those tasks are that will get you the successful results you want in your new business.

How will you advertise your business or deliver the product or service to your customers? Will you be producing your own product or perhaps selling other peoples products? No doubt there will be a certain amount of repetition and you’ll want to schedule out what will need to be done on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Here is where you ‘plan your work then work your plan’ never deviating from it unless results show the need for adjustments. Establish a schedule and stick to it!

PRIORITIZE YOUR WORK

Identifying the most important areas and needs of your business is important so that the necessary time and attention is focused here. When establishing your business plan schedule a reasonable amount of time to  accomplished the necessary tasks. Failure to do so will only lead to stress and frustration for you. Be REALISTIC with your daily objectives and celebrate your progress.

Quite often distractions will arise, in fact count on it. The ability to maintain a sharp focus while sticking to your business plan will be instrumental in you achieving your goals.

DEVELOP and REFINE SKILLS

Don’t get caught in a rut when it comes to using the same techniques to accomplish a goal.

With a little experience you’ll quickly discover tips and tricks and new techniques that will save you time allowing you to focus more on other areas of the business. As you further develop your skills or learn new ones you’ll be better able to manage your business in a more efficient and effective manner. This of course will lead to growth for both you and your business.

Building an online business will take time and perseverance. Don’t expect over night success or you will set yourself up for disappointment and frustration. Understand that there will be set-backs but this is normal and just part of the learning process. With the proper planning and discipline the only thing standing between you and success is the person in the mirror!

It is invariably undeniable that one of the most popular and sought-after exercises nowadays is Pilates. In fact, this exercise has become a common household name, pushing back to ten years ago. Before, it started as a routine mainly composed of body movements that promote agility, proper body coordination, leaner muscles, and flexibility, among others. Now, it has been almost like a fad as people from all walks of life from celebrities, sportsmen, socialites have joined the Pilates bandwagon and decided to hire personal trainers, buy videos, or enroll in a pilates program.

And with the increase of its popularity comes the demand for pilates equipment and accessories like Swiss balls and mats, as they become regular items in any gyms or even household. Nevertheless, the typical man has never actually stopped in its venture of continuously seeking better pilates technique that will further enhance its positive contribution to our body. He has conducted research, talked to people, and gathered vital information just to achieve his endeavor. He employs the help of scientific breakthroughs like spinal research studies and the application of the principles of biochemistry, as well as the latest state-of-the-art equipment. It is in his quest that he has developed another variety of pilates called metodo pilates.

Commonly known as contrology or simply the pilates method, metodo pilates was initiated by Joseph Pilates almost twenty years ago as a new fitness regimen. Its philosophy is simple. Joseph Pilates believed that in order to acquire peace of mind, he must also have a healthy body. And it was this belief that allowed the robust man to live his life in forced internment when he was captured in Germany in the middle of the First World War. His imprisonment, moreover, provided him an opportunity to share his techniques to the other inmates. Altogether, they were able to withstand all worst conditions in the concentration camp.

The routines of the traditional metodo pilates promote muscular strength as well as body flexibility. For convenience and for maximum results, these exercises are also performed together with some pilates equipment such as balls and mats, all designed by Joseph Pilates.

What sets metodo pilates apart from other exercises is the principles that govern each pilates movement. There are a total of 8 philosophies or foundations that technically govern Pilates. It is a mixture of both Western and Eastern traditions. These are (1) concentration, (2), alignment, (3) breathing, (4) precision and control, (5) centering, (6) integration, (7) relaxation, and (8) fluidity.

Before actually starting any pilates exercise, one must do breathing exercises one of the most important processes. Breathing permits you to remove all forms of tension as well as helps you to perform the exercises with optimum power and efficiency. Moreover, focus is achieved with proper breathing. In pilates, you need to imagine your movements to be interconnecting, producing perfect interrelationship and balance of your mind and your body. If you are not fully concentrating, you are practically vulnerable to probable join or muscular misalignment.

Contrary to other popular exercises that encourage repetition, pilates gives more emphasis on the techniques quality over quantity (repetition). Repetition of movements is not the technique encouraged in metodo pilates. Whats more important is the proper execution, which is usually characterized by the slow but accurate movements of the legs, body, and hands. It also emphasizes the need to use your bodys strong parts such as the abdomen, pelvic regions, and the spine. Overall, these slow-but-precise movements eventually aid your body to function with balance and efficiency. It is also necessary to properly perform Relaxation, after all, is what Joseph Pilates wants, not injuries.

Yet despite of the wide acclaim it has attained, the pilates method was never spared from the prying eyes of skeptics and critics. A couple of them thought that the whole regimen itself do not support exact discipline of physical fitness, because it doesnt put too much emphasis on cardiovascular endurance. It does not also help in promoting muscular strength, primarily because Pilates method produces low-power, low-impact output. Medical experts, meanwhile, are concerned of its impact to a persons health, since it is thought that it can contribute to the abnormal growth of an individuals organ.

Nevertheless, it is undaunted. After all, it has proven its worth to millions of people for such a long time.
