Potty Training

There is a wrong way and a right way to potty train your toddler, did you know this? Believe it or not there is. Any parent can use some advice when their child is in this stage of their lives; I could have for sure.

Encourage, encourage, encourage is the most important thing to remember while you are trying to potty train your toddler. Remain focused and stay positive never react too much on the negative. This is similar to bathroom training. The first step is to get your toddler used to being in the bathroom. When your toddler has come close encourage them by being positive some parents find it easier by having a sticker chart. Keep in mind to never over react to accidents, there will be some for sure. If you over react the whole potty training process could drag on longer then it needs to.

When you go to the bathroom take your toddler with you, they like to do as you do. When your toddler sees what you do in the bathroom they will also want to do it and feel more at ease when they try to go to the potty. Another idea is to use a stuffed animal or a doll and pretend that it is using the potty, some toddlers can learn from this also. Which is sometimes similar to diapers. Make certain that every time that your toddler uses the potty, reward them with lots of praise, stickers, or wheatever you have decided.

When you decide to potty train your toddler keep in mind that it needs to be done in a stress free enviroment. Another thing is that your toddler will not potty train until they are ready and no sooner. If your toddler does not potty train right away, they may not be ready. Wait a few more weeks of this happens then try it again. Unlike toilet training sometimes. Never be negative when potty training your toddler, they will pick up on it sooner or later.

First Aid Kits in the Workplace

First Aid Kits and First Aid Supplies. Are these a potential life saver or just an annoying expense?

The fact is, employers owe their employees a duty of care, and the first aid kit in your workplace, is the first port of call for an injured worker. The availability of good quality and appropriate first aid products can be the difference between a major drama and a minor incident.

Consider the following, despite all the safety precautions, in your workplace, one of your workers, badly burns his arm in the kitchen, and is in great pain. The supervisor rushes to the first aid box for something to ease the pain, and for instructions on what he should do to help, but finds only a few bandaids. Certainly not what he needs to cope with this kind of injury. So, thinking and acting quickly, he grabs a rag off the workbench. It’s pretty grubby, but it’s there, at least, and he slaps it on the burn while someone else calls an ambulance.

The employee spends a few hours in the casualty ward getting treated and fully expecting to be back at work the next day. But overnight, infection sets in, most likely as a result of using the dirty rag to cover the burn, instead of the sterile non adhesive pad that should have been in the first aid kit. The doctor gives him antibiotics and a week off to recover.

The company’s Work Insurance Cover would pay his medical expenses, and his wages during his time off. Rehabilitation costs that he might have would also be covered. However, Work Insurance Cover premiums are calculated taking into account the claim history, so therefore the claim would impact on your future premiums, and you could end up paying more for WorkCover for the next 3 years. There are also other costs, such as lost productivity, during his absence, and also during the recovery period, when he may only be able to carry out lighter duties.

It’s a sad scenario, and there are thousands of variations on the same theme, happening every day. From lacerations to burns to eye injuries, if the right first aid equipment isn’t available, a minor injury can turn into something much more serious.

Please make sure that your First Aid Kit is complete, that all items in it are within the use by date, and that employees are well trained in what to do, in case of an emergency or incident. Both First Aid Training and CPR Training are mandatory.

Theory of Constraints Training

You’ve heard of the terrific successes achieved with the Theory of Constraints. You may be wondering what an implementation looks like.

All theory of constraints implementations follow this pattern: procedure development, theory of constraints training, implementation, procedure and policy refinement, re-education and re-implementation.

What can you expect in your implementation?

It’s difficult to give a specific answer to that question, since every organization is different. In general, the implementation goes like this:

• Theory of Constraints Training
• Enthusiastic changing of some policies
• Huge Improvement in the bottom line
• Less enthusiastic changing of more policies and procedures
• More improvement
• The constraint moves to another area
• Results level off
• Management looks elsewhere to improve

The first stage of the implementation will be like housecleaning, with many constraints that you identify and then quickly break. Each time you break one, results improve. This period lasts about 90 days. Eventually, you’ll find a constraint that will be difficult to break.

Then comes the hard work. Implementing the system to exploit and subordinate will take longer than the quick results you’ve been getting up until now. If you don’t prepare for it, the implementation can get bogged down here. This phase may take 30 days; it might take 6 months.

A typical implementation of the theory of constraints gets positive bottom line results. If you’re committed to managing the constraints and not letting them manage you, you’ll continue to see positive results on your bottom line.

Wonderful Plano Personal Trainer

We have been training with a Lady Trainers To Go Plano personal trainer and just completed our 36 sessions.  My husband and I were very impressed that each workout session was handled so professionally. Our personal trainer in Plano was always prompt, energetic, skilled and knowledgeable. 

She was also creative with our workouts. Instead of the ordinary, yet effective ways of getting in shape, she kept it full of variety. To keep us from getting burnt out on constant cardio and strength training, our Plano personal trainer incorporated Pilates, yoga and boxing into our workout sessions. Having this mix of exercises definitely helped both of us stay interested and motivated. Without her creativity those 6 a.m. sessions would’ve been unbearable.

Both of us feel that having a personal trainer come to your home is the ideal way to get in shape. Neither one of us is a huge fan of the gym, so working out at home gave us privacy, comfort and convenience. Our personal trainer also took into account our personal fitness needs and focused only on the best exercises to great results. Our schedules are very busy, so it meant a lot to us that she focused on only the necessary exercises. Having a trainer come to you definitely saves you time. More importantly, you get a distraction-free workout, which allows you to achieve your goals faster. We’re partial to our trainer, but are confident that Lady Trainers To Go is staffed with other wonderful Plano personal trainers. We definitely recommend this program to friends and family. 

House Training: Is Your Dog Refusing To Follow Your House Training Rules?

Some dogs just absolutely refuse to become house trained. No matter how long and hard you have tried to implement techniques to get your dog to use the bathroom in the proper areas, he still chooses to be “vengeful” towards  you by not following your instructions, right?

Wrong! The common misconception that your dog is trying to be vindictive and countermine your housetraining efforts by refusing to follow the rules is a complete myth.

Dogs only have the capacity for simple, direct emotions, such as being happy, sad, or scared. Their minds are not capable of plotting ways to seek revenge for that swat on his rear, or how you scolded him an hour ago.

Dogs do, however, remember and draw upon past experiences that they associate with current situations.  But it is important to understand that these associations only create an emotion in which they will feel when going through a similar experience. 

In other words, lets say that you punish your dog for urinating on the front porch. If you continue to scold him for this behavior then eventually your dog will become fearful of using the bathroom outside. All he knows is that he is “outside”, not on the front porch. Your efforts will countermine your housetraining goals.

For this reason alone, it is important never to punish or yell at your dog when he uses the bathroom inside the house. Most housetraining problems actually stem from owners who completely instill fear in their pets when they go potty on the floor. This creates enough trauma to completely halt all of your housetraining efforts.

The key is trying not to react. Instead, remove your dog from the room and take him outside in a very calm and relaxed manner. Be sure that he does not see you cleaning up his mess. Quietly clean the area and be sure to use an enzyme-containing house cleaner. Vinegar or liquid soap will do just fine as well. By completely removing all of the older, this helps reduce your dog’s need to urinate and mark the same spot over and over.

Dog House Training Tip: Avoid using ammonia because the smell is very similar to that of a dog’s urine and can stimulate him to pee in the same area.

When all else fails, schedule a visit with your veterinarian so that the doctor can do a complete health checkup of your dog to make sure that there is not a health-related reason for his inability to become house trained.

House training a dog problems… Some dogs can be harboring illnesses that may prove to be the cause of not having the ability to control their bowel movements. Such illnesses could be caused by ticks, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, or the most common reason: a urinary tract infection.
