Q: At regular petting zoos, visitors come to view and interact with animals within defined boundaries. However, there are also traveling varieties, where the animals are transported from place to place in order to reach people who otherwise wouldn't be able to see them. A local petting zoo may be your option if your goal is to own and operate a business with regular hours and procedures. Traveling petting zoos often make stops at places like schools, daycares, retirement homes, community centers, and public events. In order to operate a petting zoo legally, you'll first have to file the right paperwork. Most petting zoos in the United States require a Class C Exhibitor's license, which allows the proprietor to own animals for display purposes. Once you've been approved for your license, you can begin planning the next phases for getting your business off the ground. You may need additional permits to work with exotic breeds. Review the farming and animal handling laws in your region to brush up on what sorts of practices are allowed Set aside enough space to meet your needs. It's recommend that you purchase 5-10 acres of open farmland to give your animals plenty of room to roam around. Make sure the property you choose is zoned for business or agricultural use according to local ordinances. Is your petting zoo going to be a temporary endeavor or a full-time commitment? The answer to this question will help you determine whether it would be cheaper in the long run to buy or rent. Even if you're launching a traveling petting zoo, you'll still need a place to house your animals and serve as a base of operations between showings. Sit down and make a list of your known expenses to get an idea of how much you'll have to put in each month. Running a petting zoo isn't cheap, especially if you plan on having more than a handful of animals to show off. You'll be paying for food, grooming supplies, veterinary services, and basic farming equipment on a regular basis, all on top of standard startup costs. Consider taking out a business loan or seeking outside investors to supplement the capital you've already got. Keep in mind that you won't be making a profit right away, so you'll need to have enough money saved up to keep the business afloat through the early weeks and months.
A: Decide what type of petting zoo you'd like to open. Apply for the appropriate business license. Buy, rent, or lease a suitable plot of land. Make sure you have the financial means.

Article: Azaleas are popularly grown in the southeastern United States because they do well with mild winters and long summers. Azaleas are hardy plants that don't need much care. Different types of azaleas have slightly different needs, so pay attention to what type you pick out to ensure you'll be satisfied with the results. Azaleas are available in two main classes: Native azaleas grow like small trees and don't need pruning. Most are deciduous (lose leaves in the winter) and are able to tolerate warmer temperatures. Asian azaleas grow as shrubs and are available in two varieties, both of which are evergreen: Kurume hybrids. These are bright red and keep well-contained in one area. They can be planted in containers, raised beds or directly in the ground, and won't get larger than 3 or 4 feet (0.9 or 1.2m) tall. They don't require much maintenance. Southern Indian hybrids, on the other hand, grow very tall and large. They come in many colors, notably hot pink and white and can easily grow tall enough to cover a window or door. If you have a lot of space, this might be a good choice for you, but you may have to prune them from time to time. The Azalea Society or your local nursery can make recommendations on the type of azalea to plant in your area. There are hybrid descriptions and examples online or in local garden and landscaping shops. Stick with one type of azalea or incorporate several different colors and species into the garden for variety. The choice is yours. Find a place in the garden or yard with some shade - "dappled shade," as many azalea enthusiasts term it. This particular mix of shade and sunlight is perfect for azaleas. If you plant them in full sunlight, they won't grow as well. According to the Azalea Society of America, azaleas bloom well when planted under shady trees. There are deciduous azalea varieties that do well with full sun, so check into these if you don't have much shade available. Azaleas need soil that drains very well, rather than retaining water after a rain. To determine whether the soil drains well where you want to plant your azalea, dig a hole before it rains, then check back afterward. If the hole is filled with standing water, the soil doesn't drain well; it's likely highly composed of clay. If the water is gone, the soil should be fine for azaleas. If the soil doesn't drain well, you can mix it with compost or other organic matter in order to loosen it up. Till it to a depth of several feet to break it up, then mix in the other well-draining matter. Another option is to plant your azalea in a pot or a raised bed, where you can control the soil drainage more easily. Azaleas prefer a slightly acidic soil, such as a pH 5.5 or pH 6. If a soil test reveals an alkaline soil, mix some sulfur into the dirt before planting to balance it. Avoid planting azaleas near concrete sidewalks, driveways or foundations that may leach out lime (which can raise the pH of the nearby soil.)
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pick the right azalea for your garden. Choose a shady planting spot. Make sure the soil drains well. Determine the soil's acidity.

Q: While your child may continue to receive natural consequences, you can begin to implement logical consequences as well. A logical relationship between their behavior and the consequence can help your child understand the outcome of their actions better.For example, if your child lied about completing their chores, give them additional chores to complete. A school-aged child is often old enough to understand what they did. Use this as an opportunity to build empathy and teach them why certain behaviors are inappropriate or negative. Your child can begin to learn how their actions affect others and themselves. For example, many school-aged children start lying as a way to gain attention or push boundaries. If your child begins to lie to you, let them know that lying hurts other people and makes your child appear less trustworthy, which can affect their friendships. School-aged children like to have choices, which helps them feel more in control and willing to get things done. If you're struggling to get your child to complete their chores (or homework), consider asking them to choose which ones they will do. When it comes to homework, let your child decide what order to do their homework in or what they will do during certain slots of time. For chores, give your child 6 options and let them pick 4 to do. Some parents give prizes or money for doing extra chores. If your child wants to win something, let them work for it by choosing chores from popsicle sticks. Harder chores mean bigger prizes or more money! Some kids get in trouble because they don't finish their responsibilities at home or school. While it can be due to laziness, provide the best environment for your child to succeed. Notice where your child falls short and see if you can create some support for them. If your child struggles to complete their homework each night, designate a time for them to do it. If they struggle to get out to the school bus on time in the morning, set up a routine for them in the morning that allows plenty of time. Have them pack their lunch and pick out their clothes the night before.
A:
Use logical consequences. Talk about your child's behavior. Let them choose their responsibilities. Help them succeed if they're careless or irresponsible.
