Does Ritalin calm people down with ADHD/ADD ???
My son has never been able to sit still. He is busy and active all day long - from the moment he gets up in the morning until the minute he goes to bed. He had poor concentration and was unable to sit without fidgeting and getting distracted. I saw a dietician who recommended we try fish oil capsules for him - Nature's way fruit flavoured fish oil capsules. His learning is now coming along in leaps and bounds. He can sit still and concentrate and his behaviour has improved considerably. My older son is now using fish oil too as he has always had trouble concentrating in class and has now moved to the top of his class in spelling and writing. We have been amazed by the results this oil has had on our kids. Why not try this natural product before Ritalin to see if it works as well for you as it has done for us
How do I politely tell people to stop chewing with their mouth open and not make sound while chewing?
My sister is incredibly sensitive to sounds. In fact, she suffers from misophonia, which literally means “hatred of sound.”Most days, you will find her secluded. Her favorite activities include: alone time, alone time, and time away from others.I mention this because these are her coping mechanisms for dealing with her sensitivity to sound because it is not other people’s problem.Sure, it is incredibly annoying to sit across the table from someone while they’re food rolls around in their mouth, right before your eyes. And yes, it is certainly frustrating to listen to every crunch, squish, scrape, and swish they make while they consume their food (I cringed just thinking about it).But that doesn’t mean that they are the problem. I’m not saying you are either, but I do think that you may be playing it up in your head more than you realize.Next time you find yourself wanting to correct someone’s bad manners, follow these steps:Open an internal dialogue: How am I feeling? Bothered? Annoyed? Agitated? Is this a situation I have any control over? Do I have any recourse here? If your answer is “No,” then quietly accept your defeat and wait for them to finish their meal. If your answer is “Why, yes, of course, I can ask them to please chew with their mouth closed,” then proceed to Step 2.No. You absolutely should not correct the manners of another. It is rude, and it is infantilising. You are not their mother, you do not have the authority to correct their behavior, and you absolutely would not appreciate if someone started commenting on your unconscious behaviors (like tapping your fingers on the desk, breathing more heavily and noisily than the average person).You have to remember they were raised this way. They have probably eaten this way their entire lives. They should not have to change that about themselves just because you don’t like the sound.I’m sympathetic. I am. It’s not a secret to my hubby that I don’t like being around him while he eats. That is not because I harp on him to change his eating habits. When I simply cannot listen to it anymore, I will quietly excuse myself to the restroom (or elsewhere) and take a minute to compose myself, while calling on the advice of my misophonic sister:“This will not last forever. It will be over soon. I can manage this, I will be okay. It will be over soon.”

Whats the best way to calm a chinchilla down?
My 2 month old chinnie, Jack, is terrified of me and other people. Hes quite friendly with my other chinchilla, Zero, but not people. So far I've managed to get him to take food out of my fingers, but I have to old it up to him, right in front of his face. I can't get my hand in the cage without him hiding in his box, unless I have food. Other than this, he wont even come out of hiding if he can tell anyone is in the room. I'm afraid hes spending too much time in his box and not getting out enough. Even if i open the cage door and watch from a safe distance(because i obviously cant leave) for playtime, he wont come out. How should I get him more used to people, or at least me?
How to pill an uncooperative cat?!?
Have you had the vet call in a prescription to a compounding pharmacy? They can make it into a chicken or tuna flavored liquid, and can work very well. What sort of medication is it? If it's not an antibiotic, then the medication can often be compounded into a transdermal gel that is rubbed into the ears. I have one that is darn near impossible to medicate (in any form, with help, and even by the vet). Any medications that he gets are either injectable (easy to do that to - go figure) or transdermal. Discuss options with your vet.
