INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cats do not respond well to punishment. When punished, most cats get aggravated and simply disengage. Punishing a cat during training will end up alienating your cat. If a cat is scolded consistently over time, this can cause stress which can lead to litter box issues, compulsive grooming, and health problems. If your cat is not behaving, simply do not offer a reward. Avoid yelling at your cat, placing him in a cage, or any other form of punishment. Never hit or physically harm a cat as punishment. This causes your cat a lot of stress and lead to a bad relationship between you and your cat. You want to make sure you end training sessions on a high note. If training becomes stressful, your cat may refuse to behave. Watch for body language that indicates stress, fear, or aggression. If your cat seems upset, cut the training session short and try again the next day.  If a cat's ears are held back slightly, he may be feeling scared or aggressive. Watch his eyes as well. Slightly dilated pupils tend to indicate fear while fully dilated pupils can indicate aggression. A cat's tail can also be an indicator of mood. If the fur on the tail is standing up, your cat is likely angry or frightened. If your cat holds his tail low or tucks it between his legs, he's likely scared. A tail that's thrashing back and forth indicates anger and potential aggression. If your cat has existing joint problems, avoid teaching this trick, as standing up can put stress on your cat's joints. If you have a very overweight cat, put him/her on a diet and exercise them until they are fit enough.

SUMMARY: Do not punish a cat. Watch for negative body language. Be careful teaching this trick to cats with joint problems.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before any physical cues are given, use the reins to put light tension on the horse's mouth. This light pulling will get the horse to pay attention to your cues. Then, once you have the horse's attention, release your tension on the reins in order to reinforce other cues for forward movement. While riding a horse, squeezing it with your legs is the signal that it should move forward. A well-trained horse will respond to this movement immediately. When you squeeze the horse with your legs, make sure you keep your legs straight and squeeze with your calves.  If you ride Western style, you can also lift the reins up and forward towards the horse's head while you do this. This hug with the legs should be quick and positive, not painful. You may need to give the horse some mental inertia by rocking forward in the saddle as you give it other cues to move forward. Moving forward in your seat just helps persuade the horse that it should start moving. Make sure this motion is done with your hips by pushing them down and forward. Don't use your upper body, as the horse can't feel those movements as clearly. In addition to physical cues, it can help to let a horse know it's time to move with sound. Make a short clicking or kissing noise that will let the horse know its time to get going.  Make this sound just once or twice, as doing it repeatedly can get your horse to go into trot or canter. You want the horse to start off gently, not at great speed. You can also give cues that are short words, such as "go" or "move." However, most horse riders use a short click or kissing noise instead. Don't create any barriers that keep the horse from moving forward. Are you pulling the reins back or leaning back while asking the horse to move forward? Assess your body language to make sure you aren't sending confusing cues to the horse.  For example, don't push backward with your saddle at all while instructing the horse to go forward. This can happen accidentally if you are leaning forward with your shoulders instead of your hips. Horses are incredibly sensitive animals and can tell where you're looking and where you want to go. Keep your focus on where you want to go so the horse can read the subtleties of your body position.

SUMMARY: Get the horse's attention by pulling on the reins. Grip the horse with your legs to cue it to go forward. Push your hips forward in the saddle. Give a verbal cue that the horse should go forward. Give clear commands.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The "right time" means something different for every kid and every parent. As a general rule of thumb, consider that your child should probably know how to practice safe, consensual sex by the time that he or she winds up in a sexual situation. If your child is approaching his or her teen years, then hormones are coming, and the time is nigh.  In this digital age, more children are learning about sex from the Internet. If your child gets curious, then they may do a lot of exploratory searching. Use your knowledge to act as a guiding figure. Your child may know more than you think. Many schools incorporate some form of sexual education into their curriculum. Try using this as a reason to engage with your kids about the realities of sex. Set yourself up as a resource, and offer to answer any questions that your children might have. Sex can be an embarrassing topic for adults to discuss—let alone children or teenagers! If the topic comes up naturally, then take the opportunity to discuss it. Otherwise: plan out what you are going to say, and try to build upon what your child already knows. Keep an open mind. Be respectful of boundaries. If your son or daughter doesn't want to talk about the "birds and the bees," then don't force the conversation. There are various books, websites, and other resources available that make it easier for kids and teenagers to learn about healthy sex. If your child is younger than 10-12, consider going through these resources one-on-one. If you are dealing with a teenager, then you can likely just pass along the information and let your teen explore on his/her own time.   What Makes A Baby by Cory Silverberg is a children's book for parents looking to explain to young children how babies are conceived and born. The website BishUK provides a range of topics for parents and teens. The site covers not only the physical aspects of sex, but its emotional impact. MTV, as an offshoot of their Teen Mom series, runs the website [mysexlife.org mysexlife.org]. The site helps teenagers understand sex and sexuality, and it can help teach young adults how to make safe decisions regarding their bodies. Speakeasy, a Family Planning Association, features online guides to help parents talk to kids about sex and reproduction. There are guides available for a variety of ages.

SUMMARY:
Know when it's time to talk to your child about sex. Bring it up gently. Use outside resources.
