Problem: Article: Let your child get comfortable with it, so they understand that the potty is not an intimidating or scary thing at all. Put the potty in their play area, where they can sit on it fully clothed, while reading a book or playing with toys. Once they've grown accustomed to or even fond of the potty, you can move it to the bathroom. Your child next needs to understand what the potty is actually for. To explain it, try taking your child's dirty nappy and popping its contents into the potty. Tell them the potty is where the "poop" and "pee-pee" goes. Alternatively, you can put the contents of the nappy in the toilet and let them wave goodbye as it flushes away.  You can also demonstrate how the toilet is used by bringing the child into the bathroom with you when you need to go. Have them sit on the potty as you sit on the toilet and show them how it's done. With any luck, this will encourage them to use the potty like a "big boy" or "big girl." If possible, little boys might be better off going to the bathroom with Daddy. However, you should forget about teaching boys to pee standing up just yet, as this can be confusing for them (not to mention messy). For now, have them sit on the potty for number ones as well as number twos! Let your child get accustomed to the potty by letting them sit on it for five minutes three times a day. Encourage them to go, but don't worry if they don't. Praise them for trying and let them know that they can try again later.  If they're impatient to get off, try reaching into that potty basket for some entertainment. To create a potty basket or box, find a small box or basket that is at least 1 foot (0.30 m) long, and 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Borrow 2-3 potty books from your local library to place in the potty basket/box. An electronic device with potty apps, movies, videos, and songs on it will also entertain your child, although the use of technology like this should be limited to one hour a day. Make sure that your child's drink-and-wet doll with a cup and possibly a potty of his/her own is in the basket: your child can make the doll "go" in the toilet and can make them feel proud of "teaching" their doll to use the toilet. A few extra pairs of underwear or training pants is helpful in case of accidents and a pack of flushable wipes is great for your child to wipe better and helps give a better clean after accidents. A sippy cup of water will help your child go and a coloring picture on a clipboard with crayons attached makes for even more entertainment. Of course, paper towels are helpful for cleaning up messes, and potty flashcards can be lifesavers. Never force your child to sit on the potty if they don't want to—you'll only cause further resistance which can upset the whole training process. Try not to confuse your child by using vague or obscure words to describe the act of using the toilet or the names of particular body parts. Use easy, straightforward, child-friendly words like "pee," "poop," and "potty" when speaking to your child.  Never use words like "dirty" or "disgusting" to describe natural bodily processes, as this can cause your child to feel ashamed or embarrassed about their actions, which can negatively impact the potty training process.  If a child feels anxious or embarrassed about using the potty, they can start to hold everything in, which can lead to health problems such as constipation and urinary tract infections. For this reason, it is very important that a child feels comfortable with using the potty.  Being open with your child will give them confidence and let them know that they should feel proud of themselves for using the potty correctly. Children can feel extremely anxious about using the potty for a variety of reasons—if they are using the toilet they can be afraid of falling in or scared of the flushing noise that the toilet makes. Other children may see their bowel movements as part of themselves, which they feel they are losing by using the potty. For this reason, it is important that you stay with your child at all times while they are on the potty, at least at first. Smile at your child, give plenty of praise, and use a calm, soothing tone of voice at all times. You can also try singing songs or playing games with your child while they're on the potty, so they come to see potty-time as a fun activity, rather than something to be feared. Many parents have found books dealing with the subject of potty training to be an extremely helpful tool in teaching their child how and why they should use the potty. These books are often humorous and encouraging, with engaging pictures which children can relate to.  Get your child involved in the reading process by asking questions and getting your child to point out certain items in the pictures. Then once you've finished reading, ask your child if they'd like to try using their potty, just like the little boy or girl in the book. Some popular potty-related books include "Once Upon A Potty" by Alona Frankel, "Everyone Poops" by Taro Gomi, and "I Want My Potty" by Tony Ross.
Summary: Introduce your child to the potty. Show your child how to use it. Let your child sit on the potty for at least 15 minutes a day. Use the right toilet-related words. Stay with your child while they use the potty. Read potty-themed picture books.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You're not going to make it in the pet photography business if you don't truly love what you do. Over the years in your business, stay passionate. Remind yourself of the things you like about animals, even in moments when animals are being frustrating.  For example, if you're working with a timid dog, empathize. If the dog came from an abusive background, remember this. Also, pets do not live as long as people. Your clients will treasure the pictures you take of this animal after it's gone, so work hard to get some successful photos. You never know when clients may be available, so maintaining a flexible schedule can help you land more clients. Be willing to do last minute shoots. Clients may want photographs of an animal that's going to be put to sleep, for example, so be willing to dedicate your Saturday afternoon to an emergency photo shoot. Working with animals is an ongoing process, so continue your education as you get more involved in the business. Take additional classes in animal training and behavior and learn from your own experiences. If there are any certification classes you can take in animal training, enroll in them. A broader skill set can attract more clients. Broaden your experience to working with different types of animals. Advertise in pet stores that sell things like reptiles or tack shops so you can work with horses or livestock. In addition to building your skills working with animals, learn more about photography as you build your business. Take photography classes or use online tutorials to learn things like editing, lighting, and other technical skills. The more you know about photography, the happier your clients will be with your work. As your business grows, you may find you can't keep up with everything yourself. In the future, you may need to hire employees to help with things like set up, scheduling, and editing. Hire employees as necessary to keep up with the increasing demands of your business. If you don't have business experience, consult a lawyer or accountant to help you fill out any necessary documents for hiring employees.
Summary:
Stay patient and enthusiastic working with animals. Keep your schedule flexible. Continue to develop your animal skills. Widen your photography skill set. Hire employees if it becomes necessary.
