Q: Be patient and gentle with your child, even if you're frustrated by their behavior. Don't make a habit of scolding or criticizing them, or they won't want to open up to you. Show them that you care about them and want to listen to them. If you need to discipline your child, don't do it out of anger. Stay calm and make sure your child understands why the discipline is happening. Build trust by listening to your child when they talk to you. Take their feelings and concerns seriously. During an opportune moment, ask your child if they want to talk about anything. Bring up any concerning symptoms you've noticed. For instance, you could say, "What's been on your mind lately, Elise? I've noticed you don't come out of your room much these days. Is everything OK?" Choose a time when you and your child are not busy or distracted. Many kids just need a little prompting to start talking, but if your child clams up, don't push them to open up to you. Try again another time. Whatever your child tells you, give them your full attention. Don't interrupt. If your child seems to be having a hard time expressing themselves, ask questions to help them find the words they need, but don't put words in their mouth. For instance, if your son is having problems making friends at school, you could say, "It sounds like you're feeling bad about yourself because the other kids don't ask you to play with them. Is that right?" Your child may not know how to identify and express their feelings, especially if they're young. They may also feel embarrassed to talk about their problems. Pay attention to their body language and the things they're not saying in addition to what they're telling you. For instance, if your daughter squirms, avoid eye contact, and folds her arms while telling you that nothing is wrong, she may not be telling the truth. Try asking a few gentle questions to help her open up. Make a habit of talking to your child every day. Learn what their life is like who they spend time with, how they feel about school, and what their hopes and worries are. When you're in tune with your child, you'll notice more quickly when something is off.
A: Help your child trust you. Ask your child how they've been feeling lately. Listen to your child. Read between the lines. Check in with your child regularly.

Q: Collies have a long soft coat, which can become knotted. This is especially important if the dog is outdoors a lot and gets stuff tangled in its fur. Brushing your dog will also help you decrease the amount of fur released in your home. Collies shed seasonally and will release a ton of hair once a year, usually the late summer or during heat in female dogs. During this period you will need to be on top of brushing and cleaning up dog hair or it will become a total mess. Comb the dog through daily, and brush out dead fur at least once a week. It's best check your dog over after each walk. Look for grass awns that may be lodged in fur around the ears or paws. Also look for ticks that may have attached themselves to your dog. Both of these problems, awns and ticks, can be life threatening for your dog.
A: Comb or brush your collie every day. Be vigilant about brushing during shedding season. Check your dog's body on a regular basis.

Q: Food and water dishes should be cleaned out every day using hot water and dish soap. Rinse the dishes before lathering with soap, then rinse the soap off under hot water for several seconds. Once the bowl is clean, dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Some dishes may be dishwasher safe. Check to make sure that your dishes are dishwasher safe before placing them in the dishwasher, and make sure you use an animal-safe detergent. Animal-safe dish soaps and detergents are often available at local pet stores, online, or in grocery stores that carry environmentally-friendly cleaning products. It may also be useful to have two or three sets of dishes on hand if you do not have time to properly clean and dry the dishes every day. Often, the bird can stay in the cage during daily cleanings. However, if you think the bird is a flight risk, you may want to consider keeping an alternate cage where the bird can stay while you clean. If you have a birdbath, swings, ladders, or other toys, wash them in hot, soapy water the same way you do the dishes. Scrape droppings off perches and rotate the perches to ensure they wear evenly. When you replace the toys in the cage, consider moving them around to give your bird variety and additional stimulation. Your bird cage liner should be replaced every day. Newspaper or other store-bought paper linings are generally the preferred lining for your bird cage, as they are safe, economical, and easy to check for droppings. Remove the old liner completely, using a damp rag or sponge to take up any paper that sticks, and place the new paper down in several thin layers. Newspaper lining or any other recycled paper lining should be free of colored ink, as some pigments used in some inks may be toxic to birds. Try to have at least seven layers of paper down to catch and absorb all debris and droppings. Use a handheld broom or vacuum to sweep up the areas surrounding the cage to pick up food, feathers, droppings, and other debris that may have fallen out of the cage. Wipe up any water or moisture that may have spilled into the surrounding area, as well. A cage apron can be used to help collect debris falling out of the cage and may be easily emptied every day. These are available at pet stores as well as specialty bird stores. If your cage is in a carpeted area, a plastic floor liner such as a placemat or a mat that might go under an office chair can help catch debris and may be easily sanitized.
A: Clean out the dishes. Inspect the cage accessories. Change the liner. Sweep up the surrounding areas.
