article: Shih Tzus love their people, but they're not as people pleasing as other breeds. They tend to be stubborn and may not consistently follow your rules. A Shih Tzu's mood is dynamic. She may be willing to sit and stay one day in order to get a treat, but may show no interest in the treat the next day. You can't always use the same training tactics with a Shih Tzu. You might have to switch up how you reward and punish behavior. If your Shih Tzu is ignoring food one day, try rewarding her with praise, toys, or a walk. Shih Tzus are a highly intelligent breed and expect rewards for good behavior. Have a variety of ideas on hand to reward your dog for being good. Although Shih Tzus can be notoriously difficult to train due to their stubborn streak, being firm with them without resorting to scolding or heavy discipline, is an effective means of training. If your Shih Tzu is acting out or misbehaving, it's better to simply ignore the behavior. Do not give in to jumping, biting, or other attention grabbing behaviors. Do not make eye contact with your Shih Tzu if she misbehaves and do not speak to her or touch her. If your Shih Tzu realizes certain behaviors do not result in attention, she'll cease using them. Always praise a Shih Tzu for behaving well. Shih Tzus enjoy human interaction and affection and are willing to work for praise. Positive reinforcing good behaviors while ignoring bad ones is a great way to get your Shih Tzu to behave. Shih Tzus are great pets, but tend to be one person dogs and prefer homes with more mature family members. Children under the age of 3 might not do well with a Shih Tzu as they'll fail to understand the breed needs boundaries. If you have young children, consider opting for a different breed or keeping your kids and your dog separate.

article: You may be a stay-at-home mom, but you also have many other roles. Your professional identity is just one of those other roles. You can be known as a mom, but you can also be known as a web designer, or an event planner, or a car mechanic. Keep networking with people that you know from your professional career. These people will be your first point of contact if and when you want to get back into the professional workforce. Schedule coffee or lunch dates every few months to stay in contact and update each other on what's happening in your lives. You may hear of an opportunity that will work into your stay-at-home life, or you may decide you want to start work again. Read trade magazines, newsletters and other industry updates to keep yourself knowledgeable about what's happening in your industry. Attend workshops or conferences to learn about new practices or products. Many stay-at-home parents balance competing desires to stay home and continue a professional career by finding part-time work. This work is ideally done at home, so that your schedule can remain flexible. Talk with your professional contacts to find opportunities that can be done from home. You might also find other opportunities not directly linked to your field. These might include: Tutoring Web design Freelance writing Office work Art or design projects Substitute teaching If you choose to volunteer, you can volunteer for roles that will further your career, even incrementally. If you are a writer, for example, you can volunteer to write a nonprofit organization's newsletter. If you're a historian, you can volunteer at a local museum or archive. If you're an accountant, you can volunteer to do tax counseling. If you feel you need to brush up on your skillset or learn new information, enroll in the local community college or university. Taking a class that meets once or twice a week can be helpful in keeping you up-to-date in your professional life. This is also a good way to continue building your professional network. " Returnships are jobs for older workers who want to get back into the workforce after having been at home. These give you an opportunity to update your resume while building skills. You may be able to work part-time at this type of job. Approach these types of positions with caution. Make sure you are being paid for your work, as some companies may justify not paying you by telling you that you're getting experience.

Write an article based on this "Listen. Avoid victim blaming. Allow the person to make their own choices. Help tell others."
article:
Be willing to offer a listening ear to the person. The victim may feel frightened, scared, confused, sad, or hopeless. Let the person discuss feelings, thoughts, ideas, and plans. It's not your job to take over, problem-solve, or do everything, just listen. If the individual asks for help, offer it, but don't make it your job to solve all the problems. Focus on showing your support by listening without interrupting. For more information, check out How to Be a Good Listener. Show your support in all ways and don't say anything that blames the victim. Saying things like, "If only you would have left the relationship sooner" or, "Well, you did leave the window unlocked" are not helpful. Nobody asks to be stalked and it is a terrifying experience. Avoid any criticisms or judgments and focus on helping the person. Avoid saying more subtle things that express blame as well, such as, "If only you had left sooner," or, "I wish you hadn't given your number out like that." Someone who says these things might mean well, but the phrasing implies that the person could have prevented being a victim, which isn't true. Every stalking case is different. If you helped someone else with a stalker, don't expect things to be the same with this friend. Be sensitive to differences and don't make choices for the victim. Let this person make their own choices. You may wish to present options, but do not make the decisions for them. Especially if life feels out of control, it can be important for the person to have control over certain aspects of responding, as stalking can feel very out of control. While the victim may be nervous or afraid to tell friends and families about the stalking, it's important that people know. The stalker may try to inadvertently get information from unsuspecting friends or family. For this reason, it's important to alert those around the victim as to the situation. Help the victim come up with a list of people to talk to about the stalking. You may wish to help tell friends and family members and alert them what to do in case the stalker comes around. You may want to provide a photo of the stalker.
