Do foster care dog parents get paid to faster care for dogs?

From some of the answers I got from on of my other ? I asked, got me really thinking of me becoming a dog foster parent. I need to make some money to help support me and my two children. I would like make money doing something I have a passion for. Working with dogs and helping them is my true passion. I not looking to become rich! I just need to be able to provide for my children while helping dogs.


AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT BECOMING A FOSTER PARENT FOR DOGS?Do foster care dog parents get paid to faster care for dogs?
Unfortunately you won't get paid cash for fostering a animal, your payment is helping save a precious life. However, vet bills are usually paid and occasionally they will help with food etc... Call your local animal shelter to inquire how to become a foster parent for animals.Do foster care dog parents get paid to faster care for dogs?
No, they don't. They are volunteers. The organization will usually provide you with the dog food, and will pay for the dogs veterinary care, but not always. I have fostered dogs and cats and sometimes the organizations I worked with payed for the food for the animals and sometimes I paid for it myself (to help the organization). But no, no organization I have ever worked with has ever offered to pay me to foster. And I wouldn't want them to.
No you do not get paid. Unless you are doing it more like a long term dog sitting, in which case the owner might pay you - some people who need this post on craigslist.





It is up to the foster person to pay for the dogs needs - that is the point - the shelters cannot afford to pay for shelter and food for all the dogs, so nice people offer to help out in their own homes and own money.





If you still want to do it, knowing you must pay for everything, then contact your local animal rescues and shelters for more information.
Everyone has answered your question about fostering - it's a volunteer job.





Honestly, if you are looking to do something to support you %26amp; your family, it needs to be a more traditional job. But since you have passion for animals, why not start there? What about working in a vet's office, dog groomer's, doggy day care, dog walking service, or pet store (preferably one that doesn't sell puppies or other animals).
You only get paid to support the dogs, it's not like you get a weekly check for your work, they help with dog food and if the dog needs vet care, most foster places work on donations from people so money is tight.





I have a friend who fosters dogs along with her own dogs and she's always looking for donations to help with vet bills for new dogs and she has a full time job of her own.
if you are looking for a way to make money.. fostering dogs is not it.





Fostering is strictly volunteer work. The rescue typically pays for the dog's veterinary care.. but the foster home often pays for food and other comforts like bedding and toys.





Rescue work is strictly non-profit. Many people invovled with rescue do often pay alot out of their own pocket to help save dogs too when the funds are not available for the rescue.
Typically, no. Fosters *donate* their time, love, and homes to help dogs.... this assists shelters and rescues with the problem of over-crowding, and helps to relieve that pressure. I don't know of any shelters or rescues that could afford to pay their foster homes..... they rely greatly on these generous people who are so caring to volunteer these 'services'.





Usually, all of the (necessary/preventative) vet care is covered, and the foster 'parent' would be responsible for food, supplies, etc.





You get paid with the warm feeling of knowing that you've made a difference!
You become a foster parent working with a rescue group or an animal shelter that has a foster program. Go on www.petfinder.com and find those that are in your area.





But you won't get paid. If you are lucky, you might get reimbursed for dog food and vet care. It's not a paid position - it's a volunteer situation solely.
no you do not get paid... they will usually cover the vet expenses for the animal while it is in your care... we donate all these expenses when we foster...helps the rescue and this may sound sad but it is tax deductible...


fostering can be fun and challenging...enjoy
No you don't get paid to foster a dog. It's not like fostering a child. It is a volunteer program.





If you still want to become a foster parent, contact your local shelters and rescue groups.
Your supposta do it out of the goodness of your heart.


If you can't support your family you should'nt take on a dog.


They take more than food and water.And your doing it for the wrong reason.


Debbie O
No, you don't get money for fostering. The only benefits, other than saving an animal, are the shelter will pay for food and vet care.
No, you do not get paid to foster dogs. And normally you pay for the dog food. The rescue generally pays the vet bills.
no they don't pay you they usually pay for all the supplies you need for the dog but not any extra

In the fall my parents planeted a rose bush and they want to know when to trim it?

My dad wanted to do it last weekend, but my mother said you should wait.In the fall my parents planeted a rose bush and they want to know when to trim it?
It is safe to triim the rose bush now, in the spring. Cut the long straight stems 4 in from base. and do the same with those that are rangy. Cut the stems on a 45 degree angle. After cutting the rose water her generously. Roses may be trimmed in the fall as well. 20/20/20 plant food is a good source of nurishment. Ask a local greenhouse dealer for best furtilizers. Place straw, loam or compost around base of rose in fall for protection; removing in the spring. Then place that in your compost.In the fall my parents planeted a rose bush and they want to know when to trim it?
I've always trimmed mine in the fall after the first big frost. But you can do them in early spring before the buds start to form.
tell your dad that it is perfectly safe to prune the rose bush now and not to worry about how exactly he should do it a very famous English rose grower when asked how to trim roses replied '; get your worst enemy to do it';meaning that you could not cut them back to harshly
I believe when you prune off the terminal buds it signals the plant to get growing. Wait until you are passed you average last frost date.

How to convince my parents to let me get Call of Duty 4?

I am 14. I mean my dad doesnt really care but my mom is pretty much anti shooter. But i mean cod 4 is pretty tame and she lets me play with my cousin but i cant own the game. I was just wondering if you have any pointers or things i should say to convince them.How to convince my parents to let me get Call of Duty 4?
Call of Duty 4 isn't that bad. I've let my brother play it since he was 9 and my parents used to be the same way yours are. He's not warped and neither am I. Call of Duty 4 is rated M because of the realistic graphics it has (People actually look like people, OMG!), the fact that it's based off of a possible real life scenario, and mild language.





You've heard worse language at school, I'm sure. There's little blood, suprisingly, (it's there, but it's not like Left 4 Dead or World at War where you can blow off body parts) it's just that when you shoot people, they look and act in realistic ways. I honestly believe it should have been rated T. The M rating has to be because everyone and everything looks so realistic.How to convince my parents to let me get Call of Duty 4?
Well you should try doing more chores, treat your parents with more respect, try the best you can to get good grades in school, use bigger vocabulary, and act more mature. Maybe some of these suggestions to get them to realize you are worthy or mature enough to play that game.





If you want to try to talk them into letting you play it then you should tell them how wonderful they are and how lucky he is to have such caring parents. Give positive thoughts to your parents and also talk about how that game you want in positive ways. DON'T mention negative things about it to your parents, such as ';it has lots of gore and blood in it'; or ';I get to shoot a lot of people';.


Then again these are just my suggestions and I hope it'll work out for you.
i would sudgest finding some of the less violent videos on youtube of the game and show them to them if that doesnt work i can always sudgest lieing or saying that no one ever turned evil from the game it has a story behind it it is not random and ruthless killing like games like GTA and saints row but remind them that you will always be the same kid as you are now and say that you let me play at my cousins its just the same thing under their time restraints
COD4 is not that tame, I have watched Cpt. Price beat up and cap that enemy guy tied to the chair so many times...





But anyway, its not a real war its just based off one, tell your mom its not like your mind is going to get warped from shooting a grouping of colored pixels with a grouping of other colored pixels.





Tell her that it isn't like your going to be training to go on a rampage or anything and it isn't like you're watching real people being shot anyway.
convince your dad to tell your mom its ok 2 have it. just think of a way to ask her. in my way, i would just tell her its just a video game.u dont have to listen to the cusing.... cuzing..... WATEVER ITS CALLED!!!!!!
seriously if you have to ask yahoo answer your to young to play a mature rated game... its rated M for a reason 18 and over, i am so tired of young gamers trying to play games that they shouldnt be alowed to
You should CALMLY discuss this with her. Point out that this is a good guys vs bad guys type game and not bad guys just running around shooting everyone and going crazy. Explain that you know the difference between playing a game and reality.
It's up to you to earn her trust but really CoD4 is very tame. My brother plays it and he is 8. It's just a game, not reality and it can't really influence you much either. And you are missing out
Buy it behind their back?





Or





Call it ';COD4'; and not ';call of duty'; and tell them its a fishing game where you catch cod.





Goodluck!
You live under their roof, you live under their rules. Nothing we can really do about it.
tell them there is really no cursing and you have already seen all the blood and killing with your cuz so its about fuckin time she let u have it
Tell her how mature you have been acting! If you have!
gay parents to be honest
tell her the end of the world might depend on you being able to shoot better.
ROFL FAIL


COD6 is already overated and you want COD4

Some people argue that emotional/psychological abuse is difficult to identify because parents have different ?

It is difficult to identify because it can be so subtle and insiduous. Most emotional abuse, like physical abuse, happens in private, both can result in scarring, but the difference here is that physical scars can be seen, emotional abuse scars the soul!





Different Parenting styles are all equally valid, as long as the persons basic human rights within a relationship aren't effected... whether that be a child/parent, spousal, sibling, or friend relationship.





Certain rights should be present in a relationship, the more of these rights that are being denied, the greater the abuse...





The right to live free from accusation and blame


The right to live free of criticism and judgments


The right to have your work and interests spoken of with respect


The right to expect encouragement


The right to live free from emotional and physical threats


The right to live free from angry outbursts and rage


The right to not be called by any name that devalues you


The right to receive good will


The right to receive emotional support


The right to be heard by your mate and responded to with courtesy


The right to have your own viewpoint, even if your mate has another viewpoint


The right to have your feelings and experiences acknowledged as real


The right to receive a sincere apology for jokes you find offensive


The right to be respectfully asked, not to be ordered


The right to clear and informative answers to questions that concern what is legitimately your business





If these rights are present then I do not see how a particular parenting style can be considered abusive....





Hope this helped

you didn't quite finish the sentence...





Parents have different what?

At what age should parents tell their children Santa does not exist?

At what age should children not believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy? I have a friend whose little sister in eleven and she still believes in all of those things.At what age should parents tell their children Santa does not exist?
I think parents should wait and just let their kid find out themselves...they are bound to find out through school or television these days! At one point when they are older...around 11...they may ask you about Santa and you just need to be honest with them..good luck :)At what age should parents tell their children Santa does not exist?
Well I was 5 and my parents told me...I never had the problem of being teased for still believing in Santa, but I wasn't very discrete either. I accidentally told some of my friends.


I would say, let them figure it out throughout elementary school...by middle school, they should know because I knew kids who got teased for still believing in Santa and the Easter Bunny in 6th grade.
i say let them figure it out themselves too. kids are growing up way too fast these days. my nephew figured it out last year when he was 10. kids will talk to each other, then ask about it. that's when it's a good idea to tell them. i found out before i was 7. i wish i had believed longer!





on the other hand, maybe your friend's little sister doesn't believe but is trying to milk it. my friend's cousin did that until he was 14-and finally his parents told him. he thought that if he said he still believed he would keep getting the ';big'; gifts that santa used to bring him...
Probably when they're too heavy to sit on Santa's lap at the Department store or they stay up at night to see if He will somehow slip down the chimney (just kidding). Every person is different, when he or she is intelligent enough to know something is not quite right.
at birth.. why tell children something that's not true and make them believe it only to later tell them that it was a lie?


one story from my coworker.. her son - age 7 - recently asked about santa and my coworker confessed that it's a fairytale.. her son't response was, ';are you telling me that you've been lying to me all these years?';.. unless you want the same outcome, it's better to confess now
my daughter has recently told me she doesnt believe in santa-and that i buy all the pressies.she is 10. i think they work it out for themselves-other kids put doubts in their minds-perhaps she has doubts but is affraid if she tells her mum she wont get any presents and get rotten potatos instead-


this is what a few kids around hear say.
aww let her believe as long as she wants. She will obviously probably figure it out by this christmas as kids will talk about it now as it comes around. I was heartbroken when some kid told me even now I wish they hadn't ruined it for me. I think she is lucky... She will figure it out herself. Plus it's really non of your business.
When I was seven my cousin told me nothing of the sort existed. I cried so much but eventually I got over it.


Personally when I decide to have children, I won't lie to them about these things but raise them to be grateful.














Well... unless my wife decides otherwise. -.-
I know I figured it all out when I was in the 2nd grade. Caught my mom and dad putting gifts under the tree! I'm a new mom so I don't know much yet...but I don't think I'll ever even mention the tooth fairy or easter bunny to my kid. Santa, maybe...he's still questionable. haha
IMO whenever they find out on their own, believing in Santa won't hurt them.





When my daughter turns 11 I rather she believe santa is real than little Johnny from 4th period is the hottest boy in school lol
I would just let her figure it out herself. And when she does have supions tell her the truth.
i have never believed in those things my parents thought it was wrong to lie to me and say that they were real.
When they figure it out themselves.
Birth.
I believed until I was 9..thats when I realized ..things like this just dont happen..thats when i confronted my parent...kids will grow out of it...

Is the Ritz Carlton a good birthday gift to give your parents for a one night getaway?

Is the Ritz Carlton a good birthday gift to give your parents for a one night getaway? It's my mom's 50th, and I thought it would be something nice than usual.





I just reserved a packaged for one night about half hour away which includes a night in a deluxe room King bed at Ritz Carlton (im pretty sure its a 5 star hotel), and it also includes valet parking, and a next morning breakfeast buffet. I was also going to get them a 150 dollar gift certificate for Ruth Chris or another nice steakhouse.





Im just wondering if a woman would consider this a nice gift to enjoy with her husband, I hope im not being too cheap by going with Ritz Carlton, I think its a nice 5 star hotel.





Any thoughts?Is the Ritz Carlton a good birthday gift to give your parents for a one night getaway?
Can I adopt you?! It's a very thoughtful gift and I know your mom will love it.


I was wondering what Ritz Carlton it is. We have one in Calif. in Dana Point and it's high up on a bluff over-looking the ocean. It has a gorgeous view.


Happy birthday to your mama from me!Is the Ritz Carlton a good birthday gift to give your parents for a one night getaway?

Sounds great. Some of the Ritz Carlton's have superb dining rooms鈥攖he one in Chicago just closed and it used to be our favorite restaurant in Chicago..
You're parents are very lucky.
May I adopt you? I turn 50 in 5 years. I think you are wonderful to do all of that for your mother.
yes. that hotel roxx
It's not cheap at all. My ex husband used to work there, a very nice hotel. I would highly suggest that when you make your reservations that you mention that you are giving this as your mother's bday, and call the day before and remind them. They will probably upgrade them to a suite if they have it available. As for a steak house, Peter Luger is the ';place'; to be for steak. It is expensive, but $150 should do it if they don't drink too much. It's a great experience, and they can say they have done it in the end.
Hey that sounds really nice for your parents. The Ritz Carlton is a well know hotel line. You should be able to see a picture of the location you chose. Hey it's a nice gift really.
I would sure love this for my birthday. The Ritz in Atlanta is wonderful. The Resturant that is in the hotel is one of the best in the city. I think you have made a great choice. Go online and look at the one you made your reservation at. I bet it will have beauitful pictures.
Ritz Carlton is the best of the best .What A great gift for you parents
What a thoughtful child! YES!!! That would be a great gift! Your mom will love the Ritz and the steak dinner is a great thing too!!! Good job!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think homeschooling parents of teens should be responsible for their kids social life?

Hypothetically, you're a homeschooling parent and you have a teenager, you live in a small town and there aren't really any clubs of groups in this town, nor is there anyone who is your teens age. The closest thing is a city twenty miles away. Would you feel responsible for driving your teen up there all time to have a social life? Theater, dance class, guitar lessons, mall, ect?Do you think homeschooling parents of teens should be responsible for their kids social life?
Homeschool parent or not, taking kids to classes, lessons, meets and practices is part of the job.


And definitely more so for a homeschool parent.Do you think homeschooling parents of teens should be responsible for their kids social life?
I wouldn't say all the time, but maybe once a week, sure. I'm about to start homeschooling my 5 year old, but luckily there are local groups. I would hope by the time he's a teenager he will have a good circle of friends established. Then he can be in charge of his social life, schedule get togethers and such. Also, I plan on letting him get his license as soon as he is old enough, so he'll be able to drive himself to where he needs to go. (This applies to both my boys, but only one is old enough for homeschooling right now)
I wouldn't home-school my children.





I dont feel that 2 parents can have the same knowledge as a whole school of teachers, and I think a school environment is important to kids and teens, but then im biased.
of course teens need to meet friends of their age so parents must sacrifice by taking their teen aged children by driving out of town even if it is very far , so that you are their body guards and they have time to enjoy their life without any difficulties
Let the teen do what they want. sometimes homeschooling is great if your child gets bullied at school. just try to make sure that while they should have an active social life they should choose what they do and dont do
Of course I would drive my child to town to meet up with friends. Why wouldn't I?

Do you think many parents put owning material things over spending time with their family?

Do you think Americans own too many unnecessary things? Do you think if they lived a little less on the expensive side they wouldn't have to work so much? Do you think if they lowered their standard of living just a bit they could spend more time with the kids and less time at work?Do you think many parents put owning material things over spending time with their family?
It's not only Americans who own unnecessary things...it goes for a lot of countries. Yes , and yes.Do you think many parents put owning material things over spending time with their family?
I think all americans [and i am one] should be forced to spend a week in a slum in India.





Then having an SUV, hi-def tv, .etc .etc will not be so important.





The rich get richer...the poor get poorer...it's the american way and i am guilty as anyone
First let me say I am not an American, I am from the UK, born and bred fully English in other words. So anything I say about the USA, will not be meant in a dergatory way. Like thousands I have lots of old Irish Ancestors (sadly now gone), that Immigrated to your Great Land, so in no way am I against the Americans - BUT .... Yeeks, you lot don't half start off a lot of phases that quickly get all around the world. For example, take the advage American Woman (poor thing), she now believes that she can be all things, wife, mother, and full time career business woman. Each one of those 3 mentioned have a hell of a lot more veins spreading off from the main vain, meaning, take being a working wife %26amp; mother, she mostly is the one that has to do all the rushing, the one that has to fit everything in, deal with her work hours, take and collect the kids, do all the housework, the running of the home, and still expected to have not a hair out of place and still be smiling sweetly at the end of the day.





Here over in the UK, and no doubt other European Countries we're just the same too now - we got this idea '' we can be all things'', and of course now we are finding out just how tough it is. Let's look at things logically, we were not all set out with the same goals and ambitions, it takes all sorts of people to make up the world. But we now the ones that are less ambitious feel that we too must keep up - and this rolls over into ordinary things, better dressed kids, better social lives, better homes, etc. We are told all things are obtainable, but to my mind, if this takes the quality of life away from you and being with your family and friends, it is not worth it at all. Plus just where is all this energy meant to come from in the first place. People are burning themselves out literally, and everywhere too not just America.





Maybe I am wrong but these great expectations themselves seem to stem from America first and then the rest of us follow suit. (no offence meant).





Here are two scenario's and though I don't know you at all nor you me, I bet you choose the 2nd one. It's about people generally and I feel it proves the point that we should be as God intended us to be, or at least make our own choice of just how high and far each one of us want to comfortably be.





ONE


A Dinner Party Scenario. A Selection of people have been invited to a dinner party, all from high jobs and high places in socieity. There's a Congressman, a top leading News Editor, A Bishop from Rome, you know the kind of people I mean. How do you think that Dinner Party would go with regards to having gone to dinner in the first place on the principals each person was to relax and enjoy and forget their stressful high jobs. Score 1 to 10. Or how we you feel for entertainments sake if you were a fly on the wall in that room at the time and listened to all that was said?





TWO


Same thing, but this time a person of good breeding, good education, good morals and standards etc, invites their guests who come from all walks of life. We have this time, a middle class person, someone from the lower class bracket, meaning financially struggles is not a bad person in life, we have a wife %26amp; mother again of good morals, but could be middle to lower class, then there's a person from another country and culture, a manager of an up and coming company - but generall all these people are just ording hard working class people. And just for fun, throw in one or two baddies, like a gangster who is out to make money, not really bad at heart but just money greedy, and a lady of the night, yes a Hooker.





Now your that fly on the wall. These guests sit round the table and the laugh and joke about themselves, they talk about any and everything, good and bad, they open themselves up individually to each other. The talk of their childhood, how they were brought up and the really go out of their way to integrated with each other.





What would be your score for them? Which would get the higher vote for you? I know for me it would be this second group of people, if I had been the fly on that wall. Because, these folk will have been their real selfs, half the time as the fly that I was on that wall, I would have fallen off quite a few times from laughing at them and the funny things that they said, other times I would have had to fly off to find a tissue or two to wipes my eyes from tears when I heard just how hard life had treated some of them, and how they had held on and survived. I would have felt the warmth of new friendships starting, I'd possibly have been a little jealous of the love they had for the nearest and dearest. I know who I would choose hands down any time.





So what's this got to do with your question you asked in the first place? I hope your not thinking that but getting the drift of what I mean. For I am saying loud and clear, yes we all have become far to obsorbed in a certain way of doing and having things, jus

How to have my parents get me a guinea pig?

My parents said that they don't like rodents and we have all ready had hamsters and you got bord with them. I didn't get bord with them its just when i would try to pick them up they bit me. I have been wanting a guinea pig for months i have the money to buy them i have 20 bucks. My dad says he will think about it and if we get one he will buy the cage. But my mom is like umm no.How to have my parents get me a guinea pig?
Well if they don't cave in they have an electronic guinea pig


http://www.gadgets.co.uk/item/GUPI2/Gupi鈥?/a>


That is programmed to be happy sad, and all that. I wanted a bunny then when I got one it pooped all over and was really moody and noisy too. But persistence is key. Otherwise gupi is pretty cool, hey if you ask for that, they might feel sorry for you.


Oh its not available via that store but maybe you can find elsewhere online they seem to sell like hotcakes.How to have my parents get me a guinea pig?
All mothers are difficult.


This will be a great lessen in responsibiliy.


You can tell your mother that and have your dad by your side to also put pressure on your mom.


You promise to be responsible for it and tell them that if you prove not to be responsible you will take it back to the pet store yourself, you know they can always find another home for it.


Pets are wonderful and a very good lesson for kids in responsibility. And fun.
Well, if you are REALLY desperate (and still young) you could pretend to have an imaginary pet guinea pig for long enough, then they might give in and buy you one...





Your best bet though, is to find out information (how much it will cost for food, supplies, etc.) tell them you will help them out, and convince them that you are responsible enough to care for one (that might have been their concerns the last time)
try not to be asking them all the times, ask them once in a while, be like, ';mom, dad, i think i am responsible enough to get my own pet, to feed it every day, to love it and not neglect it... i know its really a lot of work, and expensive, but dont you think im responsible??'; they will say and then you will say and so on, think possitive, and dont say but every second, be patient, this to will pass, good luck, guinea pigs are cuties, and show them pictures of the animal, how ';good'; they are.

If you get good grades you could be all like, ';I've proved that I'm responsible enough to hold my own with school'; or whatever then you should say that you are ready to take care of a guinea pig and that your mom doesn't have to do anything and that's all you want...or something like that.
$20 dollars is NOT enough! Sorry! The cage alone could be around $100 dollars! But I know a cheap way to get cages! go to the link below!


Guinea Pig (Petsmart)- 25.00-35.00 ( but you need 2!!)


Hay- 5.00


Pellets (good brand)-4.00


Water bottle (one that won't leak!)- 3.50


Dishes- 3.00


Cage (this is a stupid petsmart one, see link!!)- 100.00


Bedding (look around website below for more options!)- 3.50


Ehh...150 might be enough?? Seriously the link about C%26amp;C cages is so much cheaper and will save you SOOO much $$$!!





I had to create power points, papers, facts, etc. to convince my parents...and they LOVE animals! I told them at least 3 facts daily so their minds were always thinking about them!





Good Luck!





(sorry if my typing is bad i got acrylic nails put on today and am not used to them yet!)
First do research on them .I have no idea where you plan on getting them for $10.00 each.At petsmart they cost $35.00 each.You need to think of things that you will need daily through out the guinea pigs life.For instance, do you have enough money to buy bedding,food, hay, and vegatables every month?You cant just go out and say ';omg its cute lets buy it.';.
had your problem i had a guniea pig and he was such a joy to have but remember that you will always need the right utensils such as food toys cedar as the bedding and a couple of fruits and veggies and dont forget to take it baths every 2 weeks or so and with all the proper care im sure your parents will buy you your guniea pig
Guinea pigs cost around $45 per piggy now. They used to in the past cost $20 put the price has been raised. Plus you need a cage, and all the supplies which will come around to $150.. But tell your parents it will teach you responsibility if they get you one and if you don't take care of them they can get rid of them.

Find a guinea pig that is in danger...you see my friend has 4 dogs,8 cats, multiple fish tanks, a hamster, had a rat(she died) but most of her animals had a delima they were in a life or death situation...try finding a guinea pig that NEEDS you...it'll brake ur mums heart and she'll let u keep it...that's what my friend did!
like whoopie goldberg in ';the color purple'; be a slave to your mother.you should have your gpig by the week end.remember,moms love attention,epically if it comes from a child. good luck
Umm well I think you need more than 20 bucks. Keep your grades up, be nice to your parents, and be like the perfect child. They will reward you for all your achievements.
aguinea pig is about 40 bucks plus cage, food, water medicine just in case, which is about 200 bucks
try convince them your responsible enough for looking after it and you wont get bored of it.
believe in yourself and all will be revealed my child
you are a little bugger aren't you, have you ever heard of the secret, well you need a secret board my friend, what is this secret board, you will need a wash board or something like that to hang in your room, place a picture of a guinea pig on it and write a pet guinea pig for me, and this seams weird but trust me it works, just make sure you take good care of it make sure it has clean food and water, clean it's cage 1-2 times a week at least, and get it out to play often, and if it bites you don't drop it that can kill it, and don't pull away that just encourages it to bite more, the secret to everything is secreting, and that is what the secret board is. oh that is how i got 100 bucks and my rats. and with the guinea pigs you get make sure you get it out every day and let it spend time with you, always make time for your pets. and it also depends where you get it, at pet smart they are 30 bucks, cages are over 100 bucks. you need the proper water bottle, a big enough cage, bedding, food (when and if you get your guinea pig look at the food they the owners are feeding it and buy it that food) and take it to the doctors office if needed. and don't get a guinea pig if you can't take care of it, i have had many guinea pigs and they are reall hard to take care of, they are stinky too, don't let them live outside or in the garage though, prove to your parents that you are responcible enough to take care of it, and all i said needs to be done to keep your guinea happy and to let it grow a connection to you, and don't hold it the first day don't even touch it or stick your hand in, the next 1-2 days put your hand in to smell it, watch the guineas actions and if it isn't scared by the next day you can hold it, but if it is scared by the 2nd day don't hold it and wait another day.

Do docters ask the parent to leave when they are asking the child about sex?

This is a shot for Cervical Cancer; prevention.Do docters ask the parent to leave when they are asking the child about sex?
If your a minor, under 18 the doctor might ask your parent to stay in the room, but if you don't want your parent/guardian in the room then just mention it to him or her... this way you won't feel embarrassed about certain questions the doctor asks you.. but I would start by talking to your parent. Good luck.Do docters ask the parent to leave when they are asking the child about sex?
if you are just going for an injection they will most likely not ask you questions about sex. if you are going for a gynocological exam or pap smear-they will ask about your sexual history so they will know if STD testing is warranted. i've been seeing a gynocologist since i was 15, and my parents have NEVER gone into the examination room with me.
Exactly what Robbin B said.
yea doctors tend to ask the parent to leave when they ask teens about that..because they need to know the truth..and sometimes kids will lie infront of the parents about them having sex...but yes thats normal.. just to see if the child is sexualy active or anything like that











i hope that helped =D
they ask you infront of ur parent then they ask ur parent to leave and ask you again
Yes they do,


and parents cant hear anything..


(if ur less than 18)


trust me i know, i've done it like 100 times they always ask you that, and parents have to leave...


its annoying..


they also ask you about depresion, parties, home, school...


GOOD LUCK !
With the new HIPPA laws, it is unlawful for anyone but the Pt to have access to medical information. I suggest you find a way to tell the nurse, when you are taken for your weight maybe, that you do not want your mother in the room. The doctor has no legal right to let the parent,even if you are underage, have any knowledge of what is going on in your sexual health. Remember, though, she still gets the bill, and the bill will state what she is paying for.


I always asked the Pt when I had her alone for weight or any time I could get her alone, if Mom was to attentive. It is your right to be seen by the doctor with out your mother being there. In fact, the doctor will probably prefer it, as teens do not tend to tell all that they need to know if Mom is listening.


You can call the office before your appointment, speak to the nurse, and tell her you would like to have privacy from your Mother when you come in, suggest she tag your chart with a sticky note to remind her.
i had that shot this month.. in school

How do you keep parents from ruining youth sports?

There are parents who mess up a sporting event between young children (6-10 year olds) by getting into fights, arguing with coaches, etc. etc. How do you stop this?How do you keep parents from ruining youth sports?
AYSO uses the 'Kids Zone' program, which tries to educate parents on good sportsmanship, so that they can model it for their children. http://soccer.org/Programs/ProgramUpdate鈥?/a>





Of course, even with that, you end up with parents who just sign the pledge, then go ahead %26amp; act like fools out there on the fields.





For the little kids (under 5 %26amp; under 6 teams), our local AYSO has a volunteer 'field director'. In theory, their job is to make sure fields are set up, players on on the right field, etc. In reality, their time is mostly spent babysitting parents How do you keep parents from ruining youth sports?
You can't really stop it. It's just ignorance among the parent. There should be a signed contract that parents need to sign stating that if they fight/argue with the coaches or umpires then both the parent and child will be kicked out of the sport. Those sporting events should be about fun and about teamwork not about whose kid is better than the other.
You can't control another adult. That is the saddest part of having your child in a sport because there will ALWAYS be at least one parent who has to control everything. My son played Pop Warner football when he was 5 and after that season was over we never put him in it again. It was too political. Now my son is in AYSO soccer and so far everything is going good except the one parent who constantly over rides the coaches decision about the boy who plays or butts in all the time. Its like good grief, if he wanted to be so in control he should have volunteered to coach.
This is something that has been going on forever, and probably will go on forever. There is always at least one parent who pushes their kid, and has to start trouble on the field. All you can really do is set a good example for your children, by that is not how you act. Or you have them banned from games.
I think somebody needs to talk to these parents and tell them that it is just a game and we encourage the kids to play for fun and it's not about winning or losing. Maybe you can makeup some sort of punishment if they do it.
start a petition among the parents to establish a good sportsmanship contract.


bring it forth to the coach and tell them your concerns. this makes for a stressful game when it should be fun, and it takes it away from the kids.

How do I get my grandaughter to stop throwing fits when her parents come to pick her up after work?

My grandaughter always wants to stay at my house, or prefers to being with me instead of going home with her parents after they get off work, or any other time I babysit her. She screams, cries,and throws a temper fit. I love her dearly, and I hate to see her get into trouble when she acts this way. She is only two and I've babysat her since the day she was born. Any advice? Thank you.How do I get my grandaughter to stop throwing fits when her parents come to pick her up after work?
tell her panerts they need to make it fun for her to go home. let her know when she goes home she will get to play a fun game with mom and dad or get a speacial ttreat with mom and dad. She probably doesnt want to go home cause there is not as much fun or cuddle time as with you. You sound like a wonderful grandma shes lucky to have you.How do I get my grandaughter to stop throwing fits when her parents come to pick her up after work?
it would help if the parent had something exciting to encourage her...like saying lets go home and have a nice dinner....or lets go home and play with our puppy......maybe you can encourage them to do this
This is very sad. She views you, of course, as her mother, and it is traumatic for her to leave you. Babies are designed by evolution to be terrified of separation from mommy. The brain floods with cortisol, causing depression, anxiety, and lowering the iq.





Why on earth is she getting in trouble for being upset as any child would be when having to leave her mother? Doesn't your granddaughter's mother get what she has done to her daughter? Why is she blaming her daughter?????





This is a disaster and the only fix is for your granddaughter's mother to actually start raising her.





What you all are doing to the child, while very generous and well-meaning of you, is tearing her up inside. How very sad for this baby.
Start to tell her ahead of time when Mom and Dad are gonna come and get her. So she can finish up things she still planned to do at your house. Its nice to know a little ahead of time most of us appreciate that and Im sure she will too. Maybe she thinks its too abrupt a change in her day.
My granddaughter is the same age and she sometimes will act up too when its time for her to leave. I usually just tell her that I'm so tired, that I need to go to sleep so that I can have lots of energy to play tomorrow. Sometimes she even ';tucks'; me in. Of course, I get up after she leaves, but she is none the wiser.
Sounds like the last three sentences are the problem. She does not know her parents and likes you best.
My daughter did this to her grandmother all the time starting at age 4, my mother had to start bringing her to my house and finally had to tell her that if she did not stop having these fits that she could not come to her house anymore.





**My mother kept her on the weekends so I could get some rest, since I was pregnant at the time. My daughter is 6 now and sometimes still throws fits like this, but my mom just walks away from her now**
She's a little young to understand, but try giving her something that she knows is grandma's, A teddy or soft toy would be ideal. Ask her to take it home because it needs a hug and sleep, and stress that she has to take care of it until the next day when she returns. Hopefully your grand-daughter will catch on that you'll be in the same place, waiting for her. Though it does seem like she's following two different sets of rules, at your house, and at her parents. Maybe you could discuss this, or maybe she just loves her grandma to bits ! Good luck

What do you think parents can do to help students be more sucessful in school?

This question is asking, what can parents do at home, to help better their childrens school experiences, and help them do better academically?What do you think parents can do to help students be more sucessful in school?
Parents can make sure that their kids have a good area to study and do homework... some kids prefer to do home work while watching TV but usually a quiet room is a much better environment.





Also some kids (like my younger sister) need restrictions if there grades are not where they should be. When my sister's grades were low on her report card my parents restricted her phone and computer time to one hour a day just until she brought her grades up to 85s or higher. She was really motivated to do better in order to get more phone and computer time.What do you think parents can do to help students be more sucessful in school?
Be involved---make a presence at their school %26amp; get to know their teachers---this shows their child that they care about them %26amp; their education.





At home it is imperative to take a few moments every day %26amp; go over the work that they have done that day %26amp; their homework.





Don't ask open-ended questions---';How was your day?'; Be specific--';What was the best thing that happened today?'; or ';What was the worst thing that happened today?';





Also, make sure that their children have the supplies they need in order to do their work---a spot that is theirs with paper, pencils, pens, ruler, glue, file folders, etc.





One of the most important things to teach them is organization %26amp; time management. So many children (elementary through college) have NO clue how to organize their belongings or how to do all their work in the time they are allotted. Students need to know how to break things into bite-sized chunks %26amp; finish those one at a time instead of looking at the whole project. As they accomplish each piece not only will their project seem less daunting but their self-esteem will get a good boost too!
let them do whatever they want after they do their homework.
The most important thing is to make education a priority. It can't be important to them if it's not important to you. My parents always said ';You know how dad %26amp; I go to work every day at our jobs? Well, school is *your* job.';





You can't just say the words (telling kids to study, do homework, etc) if you aren't going to enforce it. Bad grades should have real consequences, and good grades should have real rewards. Get the rest of the family involved, too. My siblings and I presented our report cards to our grandparents every year. Straight As got you $5 - not a lot, but that yearly ritual of presenting a good report card to grandma became a huge source of pride for us!





Help your kids figure things out when they need it, if they are struggling, but never do their homework for them. Sure it will get done faster, but it will also teach them that either they can't really do it themselves, or YOU don't think they can.





Don't side with your kid in the ';Mr. So-and-So only gave me a bad grade because he doesn't like me!'; debate. First of all, grades are EARNED not given - if you kid gets a bad grade, that's because they didn't EARN a good one. If they really don't like a teacher, just remind them to do all their work and behave in class, and they'll have a different teacher next year.





If there is a subject your kid hates, try to find a different aspect of it to help them relate. For example, if they hate math but love sports, study the math of batting averages and records at home - this could give them new incentive to learn math and do their homework. Look up ways to study chemistry via cooking and baking at home, and simple physics experiments you can do with household objects.





What you want your kids to learn is, even if they don't like the vehicle (school, class, teacher, homework) they shouldn't blame the material. Learning is always good, even if you don't like the package it comes in at a particular moment.
The most important thing is to get your own education. Statistics show that children of well-educated parents have much higher IQ scores. This is because the parents will generally have a larger vocabulary and a better understanding of English grammar, so the child grows up and always talks that way.


Of course, a lot of effort also has to be put into your child's education. Parents need to be involved in their children's education. They should, especially when they children are younger, so that they get a good foundation, check their children's homework and work with them. They should have conversations with the teachers about their children's progress, more than just parent teacher conferences. Parents should ask their children about how they feel concerning school and to ask them to describe their days to them. This can help to get the children excited about school and help the parents to know how to support their education, since they know what the children are doing in school. The parents should give the children as many educational opportunities as possible: read to them, take them to museums and zoos, take them camping or hiking, at places like amusement parks, explain roller coasters to them, take them where they can experience new cultures.
well, you could either do what your parents did, if you turned out well, or dont do what they did if you turned out to be an illiterate bum who failed everything. you know that kids dont listen, why would they when they know everything and you are old and know nothing? If you bring them up to read and do homework when they are young, as something that just has to be done, then you will be set, otherwise dont waste your time and sanity nagging, they will have to figure things out by themselves.
Most important: Read to and with the child from a very early age. Help the child become text-oriented early by engaging him in coloring, writing, drawing, labeling, making signs, reading signs, helping with grocery lists, etc. Give the child many experiences with things that he will encounter in academic texts: travel as much as possible to places like national parks, Mount Rushmore, White House, etc. and discuss their history and importance (and if traveling there isn't possible then watch movies and discovery channel, etc. regularly), visit museums, exhibits, various musical events and ALWAYS discuss them during and after the event. Talk about current events and what is in the news. Have the child solve real-world math problems involving time, money, measurement, and calculations. Set aside a time at home every evening for ';study time'; even during the summer when each member of the family reads and studies non-school assignments. Children who have wide experiences, a lot of reading done to and with them (even after they can read for themselves), and are included in discussions are more prepared and usually more interested in learning more.


I have reached the conclusion, based on 25+ years teaching that the mother is very important, but the father is often the difference-maker. Children whose fathers know their shoe size, fix them bunny-pancakes for breakfast, and help with homework always seem to fare better than those whose mothers are very involved--even if the family appears stable and Dad is there in his chair in front of the TV.
Support teachers and demonstrate a real respect for education. Unfortunately that respect has diminished over the years, therefore kids don't care either.
