Chapter 2: Hamster/Gerbil Care
Synopsis
Hamsters and gerbils can be awesome pets and can offer a great deal of love and enjoyment to your family. Hamsters and gerbils are actually quite easy to care for and require very little maintenance. They are actually very quiet pets. Another added benefit of owning a hamster or gerbil is the fact that they take up hardly any space. As well, hamster and gerbils emit very low odor from themselves and their cages, as long as they are maintained properly. Pets such as ferrets can smell quite badly, even if their cage is cleaned on a regular basis so they may not be a wise idea for someone living in a smaller house or apartment.
Although hamsters and gerbils require very little maintenance and care there are still some basic necessities that they have just like everything else in life. You want to make sure that your pet is happy and that it lives out as many years with your family as possible. In order to do that you need to make sure you are taking proper care of your hamster or gerbil.
The following chapter will go over the importance of properly caring for your hamster or gerbil and will give you some tips on how to do so.
Properly Caring for Your Hamster/Gerbil
Proper care and diet plans are the essential elements that contribute to the happy and healthy existence of any pet. Hamsters and Gerbils are no exceptions to this need. So if you want your hamster or gerbil to live a long and happy life there are some basic guidelines that you are going to have to follow.
The following are some guidelines that can be used to successfully care for hamsters and gerbils:
• Doing some research to find the most suitable and complete nutritional foods to include in the diet plan of the hamster or gerbil is one of the first steps to embark upon. With proper diet plans in place the pet will at the very least be well fed. You need to pay attention to the weight and eating habits of your hamster or gerbil as well. You need to look for signs of weight loss or weight gain. If the hamster or gerbil is not eating or is eating all of its food but still losing weight, you should probably change their diet. At the same time, if your gerbil or hamster is putting on an excessive amount of weight, you should probably change their diet plan.
• Using hay in the cage or carrier that doubles as its dwelling place, the hamster or gerbil will be very happy to fine tune their natural foraging skills and this will keep the hamster or gerbil occupied and out of mischief and boredom. Choosing the variety of hay that contains immature seed heads would be an added treat for the pet. Another thing to consider is putting wood chips in the cage as well as wooden blocks for the hamster or gerbil to chew on to maintain their teeth. As well, this will help to keep the hamster or gerbil from chewing on the cage which can be quite irritating.
• Surprisingly treats and veggies also make up good items to encourage interaction with these small mammal pets. However one should be careful when attempting to introduce such items as treats as too much can eventually create and obese pet and it can also give the creature a stomach ache when suddenly introduced into the hamster’s or gerbil’s diet. Therefore with any of these items introduced the pet owner must be sure it is done in very small portions and is maintained as a treat and not as part of the main diet plan. Plus, this will let the hamster or gerbil know that it is a special treat and they will appreciate it more. The treat will lose its value as a treat if it is given to the animal on a regular basis.
• Keeping the cages clean with fresh outlays of hay and other appropriate bedding material would also be a good idea, as the urine of these animals tends to be strong smelling. Also the pet owner should not be overly alarmed if the small mammal pet eats its own poop form time to time as this is a very natural behavior pattern.
• You should also seriously consider getting your hamster or gerbil an exercise wheel because these small little furry creatures have a great deal of energy. As well, exercise is important for the health of your hamster or gerbil and it will help keep them healthy and keep their weight under control.
• Let your pet out from time to time. Keeping the hamster or gerbil locked in the cage on a constant basis will begin to make the animal feel like a prisoner sooner or later. Let them out to explore sometimes, you can even get little balls that they can run on the floor in. These balls get rid of the fear of the animal getting lost or even worse, stepped on.
As you can see from the guidelines above, most of the care needed for a hamster or a gerbil is basically common sense. These small animals are awesome as pets, especially is it is your first pet or you are restricted with space for a pet. As long as you take proper care of your hamster or gerbil you are sure to have many happy years with them where you can create many lasting memories.
Chapter 3: Rat Care
Synopsis
Pet rats need a place that they can consider to be their home. They are no different than you or I. They need a place of their own to feel secure. There are a few different things you can make into a home to out your pet rat into. Plastic and glass aquariums are great options when it comes to creating a home for your rat. Another option is a metal cage but the problem with those is the fact that the rat might try to chew on or through the bars on the cage. No matter what you choose to build the rats home out of you need to make sure that it is comfortable and resembles where a rat would live in its natural habitat.
One important thing to remember when selecting where to put your rats home is the fact that rats do not like to be in places where there is a draft. Calm still are is advised. Another thing to remember is the fact that rats do not like a lot of exposure to sunlight. Therefore, you probably do not want to put your rats home directly in front of the window.
There are some other basic things of that you need to be aware of when you are thinking of choosing a rat for a pet. The following chapter will go over these basic guidelines and will provide you with some tips to help keep your rat happy and healthy.
Healthy Care for Your Rat
Rats are intelligent, loyal and playful fun loving little creatures, and it is really a treat to have one or two as a pet. However in order to have a successful relationship with this kind of pet, some measures need to be taken to keep the pet happy and healthy always.
The following are some ways basic ways the new pet owner can implement or use to ensure the pet rat is well cared for:
• Meeting the basic needs of the rat is very important and one of these would include its diet and nutritional needs. The owner should be able to source for the suitable food products at the nearest pet stores. Pet rats also respond well to treats and can often be quite greedy about them. Ideal treats would be foods that are not too rich and although yogurt and chocolate drops are among the more popular choices, giving the pet rat other alternative foods would be better. These alternatives should include a little fruits and vegetables but as these are usually given in its raw form and the amount should be minimal. It is important to remember a treat is not something that should be given on a regular basis as part of the rat’s normal diet. This is especially true when it comes to unhealthy foods as well as raw fruits because an excess of these can cause the rat to develop and stomach ache and foul smelling feces.
• Keeping the rat living areas clean is another very important part of caring for the animal. This is important as the rat’s urine and feces can have quite an overwhelmingly strong odor. However, cleaning would also mean removing all smells the rat has become familiar with, thus the need to provide a warm old towel or rag for them to hide in until the cleaning chore is over. Allowing them to watch the process is also fun as rats are very intelligent animals and can easily understand the mechanics of what is going on. You can almost see a sense of appreciation in their eyes while they watch you clean their home. As well, letting the rat watch will make them feel more comfortable with the situation because it will help them understand what is going on better.
• It is important that you give your rats something to play with so that they can keep themselves entertained and not become a nuisance. It is advised that you get your pet rat some toys. Toys for rats can either be bought from your local pet store or can be made for close to nothing. One idea for a toy that you can make at home for your rat is a shoebox house inside of their cage. Just like children, rats like to play house, believe it or not! Another idea would be to tie a small piece of rope from one side of the cage to the other. Your rat will surely find hours of entertainment as it plays with its house and climbs back and forth on its rope.
• It is extremely important that you spend a lot of time with your rat, especially because rats are extremely intelligent creatures. They will soon feel lonely if they are left alone and this will eventually turn to madness. You have to make sure that you take time out of every day to spend with your rat and making them feel loved and as a part of the family.
• Another important you need to consider is the fact that rats breed quite rapidly. Therefore, if you have more than one rat you should be prepared to have baby rats sooner or later. Make sure that you take the proper measures to prevent this if it is not your attention and if you do plan on breeding make sure you are prepared to take care of the babies.
Rats are very cool animals but it is very important that you treat them appropriately. Do not be one of the people who believe the stereotype that all rats are dirty and should not be touched. It is true, some rats carry disease, but these are not rats sold at a pet store raised from birth, they are rats that have lived their whole life in trash cans. There is nothing unclean about a pet store or breeder raised rat. It is okay to pet your rat and show it affection, and the rat will appreciate it very much.

Chapter 2: What Equipment is needed?
Synopsis
Depending on the type of training to be embarked upon, the equipment needed will usually be quite aligned with the specific needs required. This equipment can usually be sourced from pet shops and other stores that might cater to the needs of pets. You can also find this equipment through other small mammal owners that no longer need their equipment. This may actually be the preferred method because you will likely spend much less money on the equipment is you buy it used rather than new.
As stated before, there are different types of training equipment designed for training animals for different things. There is equipment for training your animal to be more agile while there is equipment for training your small mammal not to nibble on the cage. There is equipment for training rabbits to use littler boxes while there is equipment to help train mice’s decision making skills.
One of the cool things about small mammals is the fact that some of them can be highly intelligent and you can train them to do many awesome things. You need to decide what you are going to be training your small mammal to do and then you will know what type of equipment you need.
The following chapter will go over the basics of training equipment and will shed some light on the different types of small mammal training equipment for you.
Get the Right Equipment
As the health and wellbeing of most pet animals are now becoming a priority for the pet owners, there is an increased number on sales on equipment that is designed for the very purpose of encouraging the mammal to be fit and healthy. These may include a whole range of equipment such as lumber jack new trainer mazes, lumber jack workout play sets, lumber jack lodges and many other items that would ideally cater to keeping the pet fit.
There are also several different options for training hamsters and gerbils to stay fit and these could include the more conventional methods of running on different types of circular mills or the newer attractions like running around inside a ball. All these prove to be pieces of excellent physical training equipment which will help to keep the small mammals fit and healthy. Exercise wheels are also a very popular choice and it seems very effective and certainly keeps the pet occupied and keeps them from being bored, especially since some breeds thrive better solo and with the least amount of actual physical human contact possible.
Other training equipment would be related to other areas of the pet life such as their toilet training regimen. This is a little harder to achieve in most cases but with some patience and perseverance, any mammal can be taught to use the appropriate equipment provided for the toilet facilities, thus minimizing the need to be weary of “accidents” around the house.
Mice are extremely intelligent and can be trained with many items you can find just laying around your house. For example, you can take some books from your bookshelf and arrange a small obstacle course that consists on small stacks of books that are at different heights. It is important that you supervise your mouse as it does this obstacle course and make sure that it is safe at all times. You need to make sure that the stack of books is sturdy and that there is no chance of the books toppling down onto the mouse. You also do not want to make the stack of books to high. You need to remember the scale of the animal to the size of the book. Stacks of one or two will do just fine.
Hamsters are also very intelligent mammals. You can train the agility and problem solving skills of a hamster by using certain types of training. This equipment usually consists of exercise wheels. There are also sets of planks and other objects like ladders, teeter totters. All of these pieces of training equipment will train the hamster to focus its balance and agility. Just as with a mouse you may want to set up an obstacle course for your hamster. Like always with other animals, you need to make sure that all of your training equipment is secure and stable to ensure that the hamster will not get hurt. The last thing you want to do is injure your pet.
If you have a rabbit that has a chewing problem there is also training equipment that you can get for that. There is a spray that is made that you can get from your local pet shop or from an online market that deters animals from chewing. Rabbits tend to have a problem chewing on things around the house such as cords on the floor. This can be very dangerous for the rabbit as well as the entire household. If the rabbit chews all the way through the wire it will surely be injured and if the wire sparks it may start a fire. That is the last thing you want! This deterrent spray can be very helpful with this problem. It leaves a bitter taste in the animal’s mouth when it chews on things that have been sprayed by it. The best part is it that it is quick drying and odorless.
Most of the training equipment you will find for smaller mammals is pretty basic. Aside from the mazes and other types of intricate training devices most of the training equipment for smaller mammals can be found around your house. It is not like dog training equipment where there are harnesses and other types of mechanical training devices. Although a mouse would look cute on a leash!
Just search around online and in your local pet shops. There are always new pieces of training equipment for all types of animals of being created. Just give them a try a find something that works for what you are trying to accomplish.
Chapter 3: Guinea Pig Training
Synopsis
Everyone knows that you can train a dog or a cat. Are you aware of the fact that you can train a guinea pig as well? Well it’s true and it is not really all that difficult! You will just have to commit to your training and always keep in mind the goal set in place.
Guinea pigs are very cute and cuddly; it is hard to imagine that an animal so adorable can destroy your house. Well you better start to believe it because these adorable little creatures tend to have some very destructive habits. One of these bad habits can be the guinea pig chewing on everything in sight that it can reach inside of your home. It can be quite embarrassing when company comes over for dinner and you are spending the entire evening trying to hide chew marks on all of your furniture. Do not worry, there are certain measures you can take that will train your guinea pig to stop destroying your things. Keep in mind, the guinea pig is not chewing on things to intentionally ruin them. The animal is trying to fulfill a natural desire that comes from its instincts. Do not think that your pet has a personal vendetta for you because that is not the case. You need to find the underlying source of the behavior and find a way to break the habit.
The following chapter will go over different ways in which you can train your guinea pig. I know at times it may seem as if your guinea pigs bad habits are becoming too much to deal with but you must not give up. With enough time and effort you can surely train your guinea pig.
Break the Bad Habits
Guinea pigs are highly intelligent mammals and it is sometimes fun to be able to teach the pet guinea pig some tricks and responsive reactions when called upon. This can all be achieved if the owner is very patient and calm when going about the training session and ensuring their tone of voice used is controlled and soothing. Incorporating a lot of praise when the desired outcome is reached would help the guinea pig feel good.
A guinea pig can be trained to follow simple commands mainly by using food and other treats as an incentive. By slowly recognizing its name when it is called, the guinea pig will initially associate this with getting rewarded with treats. Eventually, the guinea pig will be able to recognize the owner’s voice enough to display some level of excitement and respond accordingly.
Guinea pigs can also be taught to sit up and beg. Although this may seem cruel initially, it will eventually be viewed as quite entertaining. The sitting up position is one that is natural for guinea pigs thus getting them to do this for a treat would not be stressful for them and it would not be damaging to any of their tiny muscles.
Litter box training is also something that can be taught to a guinea pig quite easily as they are highly intelligent creatures, however they do not always resort to using the litter box and sometimes there are “accidents” outside. By placing the litter in the general area where the pet goes for its toilet routines, the guinea pig will eventually use the facility for this purpose.
The owner should always remember to ensure the training sessions are calm and friendly in nature so that the pet is not in distress in anyway. Giving it a treat when the desired results are shown and ignoring it when the desired results are not forth coming is definitely better than punishing it.
Training a guinea pig will require time ever day. You should devote at least thirty minutes a few times a day to training your guinea pig. With enough time and commitment you will surely begin to see results with the behaviors of your guinea pig in no time at all.
It is also a good idea to introduce a routine into your guinea pigs life. This will help the guinea pig feel calm and secure. If you want to make any progress with the training of your guinea pig it is important that they feel content in their surroundings. One of the best ways to accomplish this is doing the same things at the same time every day. Begin feeding the guinea pig at the same time every day and clean their cage the same day of every week. These small creatures feel like they are in a world of danger at all times due to their small size. A routine will help them realize that there is no danger or threat of being harmed and they will be more open to training.
Always remember to keep a soothing tone, no matter how frustrated you may become with the process of training your guinea pig. Trust me; if you try hard enough you will have the best behaved guinea pig around and you will be much less stressed as things around your house will no longer be getting destroyed.
It is not the animal’s fault that it has these habits. You have to remember that it is just a guinea pig and that it is your responsibility as the owner to curve these habits. Another thing you may want to consider is getting the guinea pig chewing blocks. This will help a great deal with their chewing.

Go with the sure thing and get your GED. Doing this is probably the best insurance policy you could have to ensure a brighter future.
Chapter 3: How do GEDs work?
Synopsis
The process of obtaining a GED is really not that difficult. The hardest part of the whole process is being motivated enough to sit down and force yourself to study. Chances are that if you are an adult you have forgotten a lot of things that you learned when you were last in school.
Once you are confident in your ability to take and pass the test you will need to go to a testing facility where you will then take the GED exam. The GED is a little different than most other tests and the scoring is a bit different as well. It can be a bit confusing for some people how the whole thing works.
The following chapter will shed light on the basics of how GED test scores work and how the whole testing process works in general. These are important details so you should make sure to pay close attention.
How it Works
The GED test is just like any other test whereas you have to get a certain score in order to either pass or fail the course. What is different about this test is the fact that you are not graded on each specific test by itself but rather the entire exam. The term for this is a battery score. In order for you to pass the test you will have to have an average score between all subjects that meets a certain set standard. This comes along with benefits and disadvantages. An example of a benefit that this brings would be the fact that you can help raise your battery score with the subjects you are best at. An example of a negative impact this causes would be the fact that you can lower your battery score with subjects you are not that good in. Along with the battery score for the entire test, an individual taking the GED exam must also have a score above a set standard on each course alone.

Chapter 2: What is Your Budget?
Synopsis
I’m sure that as a parent you are well aware of how expensive it can be to care for your child. Well guess what, if you are looking for a child care provider you should prepare yourself for yet another bill, the only difference is that child care is usually paid weekly.
The following chapter will go over the basics on setting a budget for child care, an average on the costs, as well as some ideas on how you can save money to help with your child care budget.
Figure Out the Expenses
As a parent I am sure that you have already had many headaches in the past that resulted from trying to balance budgets and trying to figure out how to take money from one budget and put it into another. Well the cold hard truth is that child care is not cheap, especially if you want your child to be cared for by a reputable provider. One of the smartest things you can do before you even begin looking for a child care provider is to sit down and figure out exactly what you have to spend each month on child care, or in other words create a budget. If you create a budget before you begin looking for a child care provider you can avoid being crushed by finding the provider of your dreams and then finding out you cannot afford their services.
The following is a brief guide on how to calculate your child care budget and also some ideas on how to save some money.
• Calculate Income
The first thing you need to do is find out what everyone’s monthly income is that will be contributing to the child care. Add all of these monthly incomes together and you will get the number of the total household income. You want to make sure to include all forms of income and not just primary employment, every dollar counts as budgets are very precise.
• Calculate Expenses
After you have calculated what the monthly income of your household is it is time to make a list of all of your expenses for the household and how much each of them is. This list needs to include everything from groceries, to the electric bill, to your morning cup of coffee from Starbucks.
• Figure Out What’s Left Over
After you have calculated the monthly income of your household as well as the monthly expenses of your household you need to subtract the expenses from the income. The remaining money will be the money that you will be able to apply to child care without breaking your budget.
In some cases you may find that there is nothing left over for child care and in fact you are in the hole with your current expenses. If this is the case here are a few examples of things you may need to cut out of your life for a while until you are in a better financial situation.
• Save Whenever You Can
It is smart as a parent to shop whenever you can when items go on sale. Every little dollar adds up and you will be surprised by how much you can save by buying backpacks or sweaters out of season because they go on sale. Sometimes you can even find them for up to 60% off.
• Adjust Your Spending Habits
If you are trying to make a budget for child care it is probably not a good idea to be spending money on things that are not necessary. You have to understand that there is a difference between need and want. For example, child care is a need where as a Starbucks mocha latte is a want.
• Buy Used
You can find some really nice clothes and other things at some second hand stores. Your child grows quite quickly in their early stages and there is really no need to be constantly buying them brand new outfits at expensive retail stores when they will outgrow them in a few months. There is nothing wrong with shopping at second hand stores and some of them have some very nice things.
You will probably have to make many changes in your life if you want to be able to afford services from a reputable child care provider. Did you know that the average cost of in-home child care is about $650 a month and for day care services it will run you right around $1,000 a month? That is quite a bit of money isn’t it? Do not worry, with proper budgeting and with enough searching you will surely find the child care provider that offers everything your child needs at a price you can afford.
Chapter 3: Do the Leg Work and Get Recommendation
Synopsis
As a parent who is looking for child care you cannot expect that a reputable and trustworthy child care provider is just going to fall into your lap. You have to think of the process of finding a child care provider kind of like the process of finding a new job. You can’t just sit around and hope that one will show up. You have to get out on the grind and find what you are looking for. This process will be made much easier if you get recommendations from reliable sources. This will save you from going from care provider to care provider to only be disappointed.
The following chapter will go over the importance of doing the leg work to find a care provider and will also give you some ideas of where to look for recommendations for reputable child care providers.
Get Out There!
Once again, you cannot just sit around and expect the child care provider of your dreams to appear on your doorstep. You will have to do research and acquire recommendations and to be honest with you this process will probably be quite time consuming. The time and effort will be well worth it though because you surely want the best care possible when it comes to your child.
Recommendations are a great place to start but there are certain things you need to look for before listening to a recommendation. For example, you need to find out if the person who made the recommendation reliable. You also want to find out if other people have made the same recommendation. After that you should check to see if the person who made the recommendation had a child that received care from that provider.
It is sad but a true fact that some companies pay people to write review and make recommendations for them. That is why you need to check the credibility of the source of the recommendation.
A great place to look for recommendations is from your friends because they will be likely to provide you with honest recommendations. Another great place to look for recommendations is from your co-workers.
Chances are more than a few of your co-workers have at least one child and they surely have someone that looks after them while they are at work. They will surely know a reputable child care provider because just like you, they want nothing but the best for their child. As well, chances are that if you work together, your pay will be similar, which means the chances of you being able to afford the same child care provider are fair.
There are also staffing agencies and other government services which offer reviews on child care providers. The reviews on government websites are much more likely to be reliable than those found randomly on Google.

Chapter 2: What Nutrients are Kids Commonly Missing?
Synopsis
There are certain nutrients and different types of vitamins that are very important for a child when it comes to their development. This is actually true for the health of all people and not just that of children’s. The truth is however, a lot of people are not aware of how important these nutrients are or exactly what types of nutrients they should be looking for in their food when making meals for their children.
Most children who are lacking in nutrients are usually lacking from the same minerals and vitamins and other forms of nutrients. The lack of these nutrients may not present any immediate noticeable effects on the child’s health, but eventually it will take its toll.
The following chapter will go over what nutrients kids are commonly missing and will also provide you with some examples of ways in which you can incorporate these nutrients into your child’s diet.
Commonly Overlooked Nutrients
Many people, especially doctors and other in the medical field, would agree that far too many children are consuming too many calories and not enough healthy foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. This is exactly what is contributing to the problem of childhood obesity in the Unites States. It is highly important that you begin teaching your child from a young age to eat healthy and to consume all of the nutrients they need in order to maintain good health and be strong.
There are some forms of nutrients that are more common to be missing from a child’s diet than others. The following are some examples of these nutrients:
• Calcium
Many children do not have enough calcium in their diet. The problem with this is the fact that calcium contributed to children developing strong bones. New research also suggests that there are many other benefits from calcium that were previously unknown. For example, it is now believed that calcium can prevent breast cancer as well as other forms of cancer. As well, calcium is not believed to help protect your heart and arteries. With as high of a rate of heart issues and breast cancer as there is we should be doing everything that we can as a parent to help ensure that our children will not have to go through health issues such as these later in life. One way that you can get your child to start consuming more calcium would be to have them eat a bowl of fortified cereal with breakfast. Do not use whole milk for the cereal. Also, you may want to consider sending them to school with yogurt for a snack.
• Vitamin D
Vitamin D is another form of nutrient that is extremely important for the growth of healthy and strong bones. Vitamin D is absorbed through the skin and it provided by sunlight. The thing is that kids seem to be spending less and less time playing outside and more and more time sitting on the couch watching TV. Limit the amount of time that your child can play video games or watch TV each day and this will surely contribute to them getting out in the sun much more often. There are other ways you can get vitamin D other than the sun. A few examples would be rockfish, tuna, or vitamin D fortified milk.
• Potassium
Potassium is a very important part of anyone’s diet, but this is especially true when it comes to the diet of a child. It is a little known fact but a lack of potassium in a diet can result in high blood pressure and other undesired medical issues. You need to make sure that your child is consuming enough potassium because it is extremely important. Potassium can be found in many different types of food. A few examples would include beans, spinach, potatoes and tomatoes. Tasty fruits such as bananas also contain high amounts of potassium.
• Fiber
Many people are not aware of just how important fiber is in their child’s diet. Consuming the proper amounts of fiber on a daily basis is a great way of preventing certain issues such as heart disease and type II diabetes. Fiber is an indigestible part of plants that we eat in our food. It helps digestion and other parts of your health. You can give your child a lot of fruit or vegetables to help them get the right amount of fiber or you can try feeding them nuts or cooked dry beans.
• Vitamin A
Making sure that your child gets enough vitamin A is very important for many different reasons, however many children are still lacking when it comes to the intake of this vitamin. The problem with this is the fact that vitamin A contributes to healthy eyesight. Vitamin A also contributes to a healthy immune system and is also involved with tissue growth. I am sure that you do not want your child to have to wear coke bottle think lenses on their glasses by the time they are in their teens so make sure they are getting enough vitamin A. You can get your child to consume more vitamin A by feeding them food such as sweet potatoes, romaine lettuce, as well as dark and bright colored vegetables.
Chapter 3: Teach Your Children to Eat Healthy
Synopsis
It is very important that your child knows how important it is to eat healthy food and that they are aware of what types of food are healthy and what types of nutrients are important. It is also very important that your child is aware of what foods are unhealthy and what types of food they should east in moderation.
Everyone deserves a sweet treat from time to time but it is important to know how to limit these treats and not make them a part of your child’s diet. The duty of teaching a child how to eat properly falls on the parent’s lap. It is important that you are aware of the fact that you need to teach your child to eat properly and that it is nobody else’s job but yours.
The following chapter will go over the importance of teaching your child to eat healthy food and will provide you with some guidelines that should help you do so in an effective manner.
It is highly important that you teach your child about the importance of proper nutrition. It is also highly important that you inform them of the dangers and negative impacts not eating healthy can have on their life.
Be a Good Example
You need to teach your child to eat healthy food and you need to start teaching them these things from a very early age.
One of the best ways to teach your child to be healthy would be to set an example and eat healthy foods yourself. Think about it, your child follows everything you do and uses you as their example for what you are supposed to do and how you are supposed to act in life. Therefore, if you set your child a positive example and make sure that you eat a healthy diet they will almost surely follow suit and see it as a normal thing to eat healthy foods.
Another good way to teach your children about the importance of proper nutrition is to learn how to limit the amount of sugary treats and other types of unhealthy snacks that you introduce into their diet. Make sure that your child knows that it is ok to have an occasional candy bar but make sure that they also know that it is not a good idea to eat one every day.
Try to keep more healthy drinks around the house as opposed to having an endless supply of soda. Raising your child to enjoy healthy food will likely lead to them continuing those eating habits throughout their life. On the other hand, raising your child to enjoy unhealthy food will also likely result in your child continuing those eating habits throughout life.
As mentioned before, teaching your child to eat properly and to have a nutritional diet is extremely important for the development of a child. It is best to start this process as soon as possible because children absorb information like a sponge, especially in their earlier years.

Synopsis
Fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrition and that is why juicing is so healthy and good for you. When you place fruits and veggies into a juicer, they are pressed and all of their nutrients are turned into a liquid form.
This juice is easily digestible because when it is pressed the fiber is removed from it. The ability to almost immediate absorb the nutrients from the juice has enormous health benefits.

Chapter 2: Understand How Fear Can Lead to Anger
Synopsis
As mentioned before in this book, anger is classed as a secondary emotion which means that there is some other emotion that a person experiences which in turn leads to anger. One common primary emotion that leads to anger is fear. There is nothing we can really do to stop this as it is hard wired into our brain as part of our flight or fight system. Fight or flight is where you brain makes a snap second decision to either run from danger or stand your ground and fight the danger away. Fight or flight will initially be felt as fear as this is what will trigger it and then it will either remain fear or it will quickly turn to rage.
People are capable of doing some very amazing things when they are in fear. People are also known to have large amounts of strength while they are fearful and some people may even black out. If you mix any of these effects of fear with anger you are sure to come up with an outcome that you do not want. It is highly important that you are aware of ways in which you can control your anger, even in fearful situations. Remember, you always want to be in control of your emotions and never let your emotions control you.
The following chapter will discuss the relation between fear and anger. The purpose of this is so that you can gain a better understanding of what it is that you need to do in order to get back in control of your emotions as well as your life.
Fear and Anger
Many people are not aware of how deeply intertwined fear and anger truly are. Some of the world’s most renowned psychologists and therapists believe that fear and anger are nearly the same emotion. It is true that they are entirely two different emotions but they do have many similarities. As well, you almost will never feel one without the other, they basically go hand in hand with each other.
There are situations in life that we may not be sure of how to deal with. It is your brains natural defense to become angry in order to shield you from what you are afraid of. A perfect example would be a child who is asked a teacher a question about a math problem in front of the entire class.
If the child does not know the answer it would be much easier for them to act out and get sent out of class then to have to face their fear and admit that they do not know the answer. This is an example of your brain using anger as a way to cope with fear. It all ties back to that little thing we spoke of before called flight or fight.
Another good example of a common mistake that people make when they are fearful is in relationships. In many cases, if a person in a relationship is scared that the other person may not being faithful they may become angry out of their fear.
They may begin to mistreat the person for something that they are not even doing. In the long run this will almost surely always lead to a loss in a relationship as your significant other will eventually get tired of being blamed for things they are not doing and being mistreated. It is important that you get control of your anger before situations such as these begin to take place, if they have not already.
Many psychologists believe that people with chronic anger have some type of deep underlying fear that they are not able to address and that is why they are in the emotional state that they are. You need to find the true meaning of what your emotions are telling you. Learn to listen to yourself, are you really angry or are you scared? You are the only one who will be able to properly answer this question, remember to be honest with yourself.
Chapter 3: Understand How Depression Can Lead to Rage
Synopsis
Everyone experiences time in life where they feel as if they are getting the short end of the stick and no matter how hard they try things do not seem to get any better. The only problem is that for some, this problem may continue for weeks, months, or even years. After a long period of time, depression can lead to some serious rage issues.
Depression is no laughing matter itself, but when you through rage into the mix it becomes a very serious and very dangerous emotional issue. If you are a person who is stuck in a depressive rut and you can’t seem to find your way out you are probably well aware of the irritability and anger building inside of you. If you do not do something to settle this anger down it will eventually lead to rage which will likely end in some very undesired consequences on your life or your health or maybe even both.
Depression mixed with rage can take a serious toll on a person’s emotional well-being especially after long periods of time in this emotional state. It is important that if you or someone you know is experiencing this that you receive help right away. This emotional state can lead to a suicidal thought process which is a very serious and dangerous.
Depression and Anger
The following chapter will go over the relation between depression and anger. We will discuss how dangerous this combination is as well as provide you with some signs to look out for that will indicate that you are in a depressive and angry emotional state.
Many people are well aware of the effects that depression can have on their lives. Every aspect of your life can be affected and things seem as if they just get worse and worse. The worse things get the more depressed you get and thus begins the endless cycle.
It can sometimes feel like there is no way out of depression so many people choose to just give up. They get tired of the daily struggle of trying to cope with all of the stress and conflict in their life and choose not to fight the depression any longer.
Depression tends to cause a person to completely change after enduring it for long periods of time. You will notice that they begin to form a completely different personality. The ambition and the drive that they had at one time may vanish and you will notice that they seem as if they no longer care about what happens in life. You will also notice that they will begin to lose many of their interests and a smile will be a very rare thing to see on their face.
Now when you think about all of this it seems pretty reasonable that long periods of depression could lead to a person becoming very angry with themselves and the world as a whole. People do not like to be treated unfairly so we you feel like life is giving you a bad hand it is only natural to get a little annoyed after a while. It is very important that you know how to limit the amount of anger you feel and are aware of ways in which to direct your anger in positive ways in order to better your life. Taking your anger out in negative ways will only lead to more problems in your life which will in turn just lead to more depression. The only one that can stop the cycle of anger and depression is you.
Keep in mind that you attract in to your life what you project. In other words, if you are constantly projecting angry vibes and signals, you will have nothing but the same type of vibes and signals come back your way. Even when things seem like they could not get any worse, you have to remember that they can and they will unless you change your way of looking at life.

Chapter 2: What is Your True Calling?
Synopsis
Have you ever met a person or know a person who seems like everything just falls to place in their life. Chances are that you have and it is likely that you have wondered to yourself why their life is so great and why they always seem so content and happy. The answer to this question is actually quite simple. These people have put the effort forth to find their true calling in life. These people are so happy and content because their lives are flooded with meaning and purpose. The empty void that is left behind by wandering through life aimlessly is filled and everything in life seems to be brighter, figuratively speaking. Even when these people face hard times they are able to accept it and deal with it in a much more effective manner because they know that it is somehow tied to their purpose.
There are countless things that an individual can choose to do with their life so it is very understandable that many people are lost and do not know where to begin when it comes to finding their true calling. It is important that you are aware of the fact that there is much more to discovering what your true calling is in life than just simply asking yourself,” what do I want to be when I grow up?” Discovering your true calling in life is actually a very serious and in-depth process.
Discover Your Calling
The following chapter will go over the importance of finding your true calling in life and will also provide you with some questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help you to narrow down what your true calling is and will make the whole process much simpler for you.
If true happiness is what you are seeking in life, it is not more money that you need or to become more popular. You need to discover what your true calling in life is. For some people this may be easier than for others and in fact, some people may never discover what their calling is in their entire lifetime. These people will often times feel incomplete and will feel as if their life was a complete waste. Your life is a precious thing and it should not be wasted.
You need to discover what your true calling is not only for yourself but for the better of the world as a whole. Your life plan includes this calling for a reason. Believe it or not, everything you do has a direct impact on the entire world. This is referred to as the ripple effect. The first ripples will be small but as they go out they get wider and wider. The same goes with your actions and what you choose to do with your life. If you do not discover your true calling you will not be able to project out those positive ripples and therefore will not fulfill your life’s plan.
The following are some guidelines that you should consider as they will make the task of discovering your true calling much easier.
• Stay in the Present
While trying to discover what your calling in life is it is extremely important that you make sure that you keep your mind in the present. Do not focus on the future. Everything we do today will affect our future and that is why it is so important that we are always focused on the here and now. Life is lived one second at a time so there is no reason to stress about five years from now.
• Try Different Things
As stated earlier, you have to get out of your comfort zone or your “safety bubble”. Staying in your comfort zone will not give the opportunity to try new things. The problem with this is the fact that you will never be able to discover what your true calling is if you do not ever get the opportunity to try it. You should start trying as many new things as you can. Even if you do not think you will like it or be good at it, give it a shot because you never know until you try.
• Challenge Yourself
You will definitely feel like what you are doing with your life is purposeful when you are constantly challenging yourself. Falling into a desk job where you do the same repetitive boring tasks every day is probably not anyone’s true calling in life. However, some people may still have to hold down a job while they seek out their true calling in life. For these people it is important that you constantly challenge yourself and that you use your extra time as a way to seek out and fulfill your true calling in life.
• Ditch Your Current Life Plan
Chances are that the life plan that you had set in place for yourself did not include your true calling, especially if you are still trying to discover what your true calling in life is. You may want to consider just letting life flow and learn how to let the universe guide you through your life. As stated before, your life is planned before you are even born. The universe will tell you where to go, you just have to listen.
• Live Your Own Dream
Learn how to live and create your own dreams. Do not look at others and envy them for what they have or wish that you could have their life and their blessings. You need to figure out what your true desires are in life and what you truly want. By this I do not mean material objects, I mean what you want from life and what your want your life to be. Stop trying to live someone else’s dream and start living your own!
• Talk to Those Who Listen
Share your dreams and desires with those that you trust and listen to what you are saying. Also try and speak with people who offer real feedback and ideas and stay away from those who simply agree with what you are saying or give you one word responses. Other people can have some very valuable insight, especially the elderly so it may be a good idea to ask them for advice on discovering your calling in life. They may notice talents that you have that you are not aware of.
Chapter 3:
Using Your Intuition to Find the Right Career
Synopsis
There are countless different career choices and the task of narrowing down their career search to discover their purpose in life can be quite overwhelming. This process is going to require the use of some tools. Within these tools you are going to need a very well put together resume. You are also going to need to have a strong set of professional and personal references which is something most of us know. But something a lot of people do not know is that within this tool bag needs to be a strong intuition.
Your intuition is always present and is always trying to communicate with you on a subconscious level. It is up to you to listen to your intuition. Your intuition can be thought of as a life guide. It is your inner spirit and it is there to try and help you find your purpose during your journey through life.
The following chapter will go over the basics of using you intuition to find your purpose in life as well as the right career for you. It will also go over some of the signs to watch out for when you intuition is trying to send you a message.
Listen to Your Intuition
As stated before, out intuition is constantly trying to communicate with us and give us guidance throughout our day. The only problem is that many people choose not to listen to their intuition. Keep in mind, you intuition is not an actual person speaking to you but rather a feeling that you get in your body. I know everyone has experienced a situation where their intuition was trying to tell them now to do something and they did it anyways only to receive negative consequences.
There is a reason why we were designed to have an intuition. The reason is that your intuition is meant to serve as your guide through life and is meant to keep you on the correct path towards finding your calling or purpose in life. That is why it is so important that you learn how to listen to your intuition and learn how to block out outside influences.
Some people will have to find their true calling in life outside of their career while others are lucky enough to have a set of skills that will allow them to find their purpose within a profession. These people, as with everyone else, will have to learn how to listen to their intuition when making a career choice if they plan on fulfilling their purpose in life.
One of the most common signs that your intuition is trying to speak to you is that feeling of butterflies in your stomach or feeling nauseous. Your intuition is sending you this message to alert you that there is something to be aware of. For example, if you feel your intuition trying to speak to you during a job interview there are probably some things you should look into before you accept the position.
Do not be one of the people who choose to go through life ignoring their intuition. If you ask these people later down the road if they regret the choices they made they will almost surely always say yes. Learn how to be more open to you intuition and listen to the messages that it sends you because they will surely lead you in the right direction to finding your true calling.

It is very important that you make sure that the marketing experience is as convenient as possible for the customer because this will surely lead to more sales. On the other hand, making the experience inconvenient by having lengthy emails that are constantly sent to them will likely just lead to a loss of a customer.
Chapter 3: Write With Your Own Personality
Synopsis
Have you ever met someone or heard someone speak that was trying to act like someone other than their self? They looked and sounded pretty foolish, didn’t they? Well the same thing goes for email marketing. If you try to relay your message or sell your product while trying to sound like someone other than yourself, people will not take you seriously.
Your first impression is very important in any relationship, whether it be a personal relationship or a business relationship. The first impression you make on someone is a lasting one so you want to make it a good one. The last thing you want someone to think of you after a first impression is that you are a fraud because you did not seem genuine.
The following chapter will go over the importance of writing with your own personality and will provide you with some basic guidelines to makes sure that you do so.
Always Be You
You were born as a unique person, there is no other person in this world who is exactly like you. This is also true when it comes to your personality. It is unique for a reason. If everyone had the same personality in the world, life would be very boring. It is the differences in all of us that make us who we are and make the world an interesting place. That is why it is so important to always be yourself, even when email marketing.
Personality traits can be picked up by the way you speak and the words that you use. The same thing is true when it comes to people reading your emails. They will easily be able to pick up on what type of person you are from the way that you write. They will also be able to pick up on whether you are a genuine person or not. Trying to be a person other than yourself when you write your emails is a very bad idea because it will make you seem less genuine and will lower your credibility.
Some people are not really sure of how to project their personalities into their emails or other forms of writing. This is actually quite common and it is probably due to the writing exercises that we all had to do in school. These writing exercises taught us to be extremely formal when writing and at the same time stripped our writing of its personality. You can put your personality back in to your writing, it is just going to take some practice.
One common mistake that people make is trying to use words that they would not normally use. They may be doing this because they are less educated or they may not be confident with their writing. Whatever the reason for doing this is it should not be done. When you use words that you would not normally use they are oftentimes not used correctly and this does not look professional.
Try writing out some practice emails before you send out your actual marketing emails. Review the practice email and determine if it sounds like you when you read it. If you are satisfied with the personality that is projected it is time to then send out the email.
