Article: Raise your hand or approach your teacher as soon as you find something that you are confused or concerned about. Never feel shy or stupid for asking a question. Odds are, someone else in the class is wondering about the same thing and will appreciate you stepping up. If you have multiple questions, you can always wait until after class. For example, if your teacher normally assigns 5 chapters to read over the weekend and she didn't say anything about it this time, you might want to ask her. You could say, "Do we need to do our usual chapter reading this weekend?" If your teacher is okay with it, you could also ask how long a certain assignment should take to finish. This will help you to better schedule your time for the week. If you are confused about the material covered in class or if you are unsure about your approach to the homework, make an appointment with your teacher after class. This will allow them to concentrate all of their attention on helping you succeed. If they are unavailable to meet, consider approaching another teacher in a similar subject or even a school counselor. You might approach your teacher and say, "I'm just not getting that math worksheet. Is there a time this week when we can sit down and look it over together?" If you ask for help in this way, make sure that you've started the work yourself. Don't expect your teacher to do the work for you. It is not your parents' responsibility to police your homework (and you probably don't want them to). However, if you are really stumped or just want a second opinion, you can always ask for their help. They could read over your essay and suggest new approaches. Or, they could test out your answers to a worksheet. If you live and study at home, your parents could also help to create a good study space by keeping the area quiet and preventing other family members from interrupting you. Talk with your fellow students and organize a study group. Your group can focus on a particular subject or project, or you could cover all types of homework together. You can agree to keep each other accountable by banning phone time and other distractions. Just make sure that you stay on task and actually get your homework done, or this extra time could put you behind. Make sure that you are only working together on projects that given the "okay" for group work by your teacher. Otherwise, you could be committing a version of academic dishonesty by not following the rules of the assignment. You can also meet with your group virtually thanks to various programs that allow you to video chat with numerous people at once, such as Google Hangouts. If you continue to struggle with the homework for a certain subject or if you just want another perspective, consider working with a tutor. Some tutors charge a per-hour fee, whereas others volunteer and work for free. Talk to your teacher or school counselor for additional information. Libraries are a great source of information about tutoring and other resources. Just call your local library and ask what programs they have in place to help students.

Problem: Article: . In the herd, horses are natural followers. Within the herd, one horse needs to be a leader. In your relationship with your horse, your horse should see you as his leader. One way to establish the leadership role with your horse is to lead him. It may not seem like asserting your leadership is showing your horse you love him.

Leading your horse teaches your horse to respect your personal space. As you lead your horse, be assertive, yet gentle, with him when maintaining and establishing the boundaries of your personal space.

Therefore, when you apply pressure to him, you are asserting your dominance over himonce again establishing your leadership role. Use your hands to apply pressure on your horse's body. The pressure should be gentle yet firmnot enough to push him, but enough to make him a little uncomfortable. Do not release the pressure until your horse has moved away from it. Practice applying direct pressure to different parts of his body (e.g., shoulder, muzzle, legs). Indirect pressure involves the use of driving aids, such as a lead rope, to get your horse to yield. Practice this by standing about three feet in front of your horse, with his lead rope attached to his halter. Point your index finger at him and begin to wiggle the lead rope. Your horse should begin to move backwards. Your horse may not understand what you are trying to get him do to the first time around. He may stand there, or move to the side. Wiggle the lead rope with more force until he steps back, or at least leans backwards. Stop wiggling the lead rope as soon as makes the backward motion. It may take some time for your horse to learn that you are his leader and that he should respect your personal space. Practice for a few minutes each day until your horse readily and consistently accepts your leadership role with him.
Summary: Lead your horse Teach your horse to yield to direct pressure. Teach your horse to yield to indirect pressure. Practice leading and applying pressure each day.
