For this method, you'll need a 1/2 cup of white glue. Elmer's glue is the go-to here or any other white school glue. You'll also need a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of brown paint or brown food coloring, 1/2 a cup of warm water, and 1 teaspoon of borax powder. You'll need two containers for mixing, at least one of which is fairly large for the final mix. If you have neither brown paint or brown food coloring, use chocolate syrup. You will need a slightly higher amount of chocolate syrup than you would brown paint or food coloring. This is not the method to use if you think there's any risk of anyone or any pet eating the fake poop. Borax, while not deadly in small amounts, is still harmful and very upsetting to the stomach. First, in the large bowl which will eventually contain the entire mix, combine the 1/2 cup of white glue and whatever you're using as brown coloring. Add color until you have your desired hue. In another container, mix your borax and water until the borax is visibly dissolved. Once both individual mixes are complete, combine them in the larger bowl, stirring constantly as you do so. You should immediately notice the mixture begin to thicken and become more viscous, almost like pudding. The mixture, once combined, quickly becomes too thick to be mixed by hand and must be kneaded like dough. Using your hands, take the borax dough and push into it, pull on it, and remove it from the walls of the bowl. It should be ready for molding once you've formed it into a ball, with no mixture remaining on the sides of the bowl. Again, the ultimate size of the fake poop(s) will be up to you. This one can be used altogether as a single lump or broken into individual pieces. Prank-wise, this fake poop is best to be stepped in, as it matches texture with the real thing closer than many other methods will allow.

Another way to encourage a finicky cat to eat is by heating up the food just a bit. Even kibble will benefit from this treatment. You don't want it too hot to eat, but a little bit of warmth will help release the scent of the food, which makes a cat more receptive to the idea of eating the food. If your cat has been on dry food and has seemed reluctant to eat, switching to canned food may help. Canned food releases more scent, encouraging your cat to eat. If you mainly want to stick with dry food, you can add a little wet food to the dry to encourage your cat to eat it. If your cat isn't wanting to eat, increasing the good smells of the food may help. Pour a little water from a can of tuna packed in water (not oil) on top of the food. Most cats will be more than happy to eat anything doused in tuna water. You can also try clam juice or even Parmesan cheese. If you can't get a cat to eat at all, particularly a sick cat, you can try baby food for a time. Stick to all-meat products, as cats cannot have foods like garlic or onions. You can offer the cat a little on a spoon or your finger to get it started.

As science and math are vital to a career in medicine, encourage your child to develop a curiosity about the subjects. You can find a lot of moments in daily life related to science and math. Science and math are found virtually everywhere, so point out examples whenever possible. If your child loves sports, for example, talk about the anatomy of an athlete. What muscles and bones does a hockey player need to develop? Talk about math in terms of everyday things like cooking. You can try doubling a cookie recipe, for example, and have your child figure out how to convert the measurements. Many children may protest doing science and math homework because it's "too hard." Rather than trying to argue with this, acknowledge that the subjects are hard. Explain to your child that challenges can be fun and exciting. Tell your child a hard problem is not impossible. Say something like, "Yes, these problems are hard, but think of how exciting it will be to really master this subject. Don't you want to understand how chemistry works?" You should also let your child know being wrong is not a bad thing. Many children develop anxiety over answering a question wrong. To this, say something like, "A lot of scientists came up with wrong answers to questions for years. Part of the scientific process is being wrong sometimes." A wrong answer should be seen as a learning opportunity rather than a failure. There are probably many places in your community where your child could learn about math and science. Make a point of visiting these places with your child over the summer and on the weekends. Take your child to a local museum, aquarium, planetarium, zoo, and science center. Your child will have fun, while being exposed to math and science as subjects. Programs like 4-H, the Girl Scouts, and Boys and Girls Club may sometimes have community events. Some of these events may be aimed at teaching children about math and science. Try taking your child to one of these events. You may not have loved math and science yourself as a child. That's okay. However, speaking negatively about the subjects may discourage your child's interests. Do not say things like, "I was never interested in math as a kid" or "I got the worst grades in these subjects." This may make your child see failure or disinterest as inevitable. Help your child understand he or she can succeed in these subjects, even if they're hard. Try saying something like, "I struggled with math as a kid, but I'm so glad I stuck it out and got better." You cannot completely control a child's development. While you may want to push math, science, and medicine, your child needs some independence. Try to be accepting and understanding of your child's interests, even if they deviate from the path you have planned. For example, you may want your child to spend the summer at a science camp hosted by a local museum. Your child says he or she wants to attend art camp instead. Art camp may not be part of your plan, but remember your child is an individual. Encouraging his or her interests and success is important, but you need to let your child have some independence. If you double down and insist on science camp, you're not letting your child explore his or her own interests. Try to reach a compromise. Let your child attend art camp, but encourage him or her to explore science on the side. Remember, you have to think about what your child wants rather than what you want. You may envision a certain future for your son or daughter. However, you need to give your child a chance to do what will ultimately make him or her happy.

One-sentence summary -- Look for science and math in everyday life. Encourage your child to see challenges as positive. Take advantage of informal learning opportunities. Avoid negative statements about math and science. Allow your child to develop his or her own interests.

Macs come with iTunes preloaded. If you don't want to use iTunes, other software like Mediamonkey or TunesGO will function similarly. This menu is located in the upper left below the playback controls. iPod Touch (ad iTunes) supports a few video formats, including .h264, .mp4, and .mov. Non-supported video formats will not transfer. Your iPod Touch will appear listed under "Devices" in the iTunes sidebar. A progress bar will appear in iTunes indicated the transfer progress. Wait for the transfer to be complete. Once ejected, you can disconnect the iPod Touch from your computer. Your video(s) will be displayed in the app for playback.
