Are Dogs Really Loyal?

From the time we are extremely youthful, we hear stories and watch kid’s shows in which creatures play the main characters. Over the long haul, a significant number of those creature heroes demonstrate certain characteristics that are played out more than once. Think about the guileful fox; the chipper, blundering bear; the subtle, pernicious snake; the lively bluebird; the accommodating (or meddlesome) mother hen. Be that as it may, we can’t deny that occasionally we have generalizations about puppies. One of which is of being them, being steadfast.

Before you blame me for being totally merciless, we concede that “uncontrollably wrong” may be a stretch for this specific creature generalization. We’ve seen the features of mutts declining to leave their holder’s last resting spots, welcoming their managers as they come back from war and actually running into movement to draw a canine buddy to well being. It’s conceivable that some of these features even made us cry a bit. Yet are all pooches just as meriting the man’s closest companion moniker?

In his book “The Truth About Dogs”, writer Stephen Budiansky recommends, for the most part facetious, that puppies have us tricked, pretending steadfastness and dedication consequently for prime land before a cushy chimney, space in our cots, sustenance from our plates and permit to escape with basically any idiosyncratic or troublesome conduct they can concoct.

In 2013, a gathering of Hungarian analysts found that mutts reacted to robots in the same way that they reacted toward individuals. Indeed, given the decision between a robot that spoke the puppy’s name in a modified voice, developed a gloved hand for the pooch to sniff and coordinated the puppies toward shrouded sustenance, or a human that offered none of those prizes, the canines showed an inclination for the robot, investing additional time at the robot’s side and looking at the robot’s head.

Earthquake Drill: Part 2

Staying alive after an earthquake is already a thing to be grateful but there are a lot of things to do after it happens. You should not wait and do these things as soon as possible.

Check yourself if you have an injury, a bruise, a graze or even a broken bone. Do no try checking others first before making sure you don’t need a first aid procedure. If you are, apply first aid if it is still possible or call help from other people. If you are going to go outside, wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, strong shoes and thick working gloves. This will protect you from harmful damages outside.

When you already make sure you took care of yourself, help other people who needs your help. Call 911 if you have to and apply appropriate first aid. If the victim is seriously injured or heavy, do no try to move them unless they are in danger within their location. If you see small fire heating up, look for a fire extinguisher or water hose to extinguish it. Do not let them spread.

If you want to open doors and closets, be careful. Contents might fall on to you as you open the door. If your parents are at home, check for them too. With your parents, help your neighbors if they needed to be assisted. Never try heavy duty jobs. Instead, you can listen to emergency information or news to a potable radio, television and even cellphones. Do not try using plugged appliances. Your local government is the nearest one to provide advice or information.

Still be careful of falling debris and objects, aftershocks can occur a lot of times, they are like earthquakes but weaker. Use your prepared things like canned goods, flashlights and water.

Tsunamis as destructible as this one can happen. STAY OUT OF OCEANS AND BAYS after an earthquake.

Earthquake Drill: Part 1

Natural phenomenons are mostly unpredictable and unstoppable. One example is an earthquake. No one can actually predict when exactly an earthquake is coming unlike typhoons. These things can happen anymore, even in the safety of your homes. Your parents might not be there for you. Here are tips on how to take care of yourself before, during and after the earthquake.

Before:

Tell your parents to make sure that you have a first aid kit, in case someone is going to be hurt, a radio generated by a battery, necessary extra batteries and flashlights, the stronger, the better. They should not be hidden below beds, cabinets, attics and cabins. They should be easy to reach in case of worst scenario.

As a student, your parents or your school should teach you the basics of first aid. The most important one is bandaging. You also have to learn to turn off the gas, water and electricity SAFELY IF your parents are not home.

If you and your parents are not together, make plans on where to meet them after an earthquake.

Never place heavy objects on shelves or high places inside your house because there will be a chance it will fall on you during a strong earthquake. If possible, tell your dad to intact heavy furniture, cupboards and appliances to the walls or floors.

During:

Never panic. Stay inside if you are indoors and outside if you are outdoors. If you are inside a building or structure, stand behind a wall nearest to the very center, or you can stand in a doorway or crawl your way under a heavy and strong object like a table or a chair. Never go near windows and doors going outside. Don’t use elevators to escape. If you are outside, avoid power lines, trees and anything that will fall especially buildings.

If it is in the night, never light a match or any fire. It might trigger gas lines near you to blow. If you are inside your parent’s car, tell them to stop and stay inside, unless there is already a falling object towards you.

Lies Parents Told You

You start to wander off the mall because you are bored watching your mother picking a good bag to fit her outfit for her date with your father this Saturday. When you start to do that, your mom would yell that she’ll be leaving without you if you start roaming around the store without her. The main reason is, she’s not really going to leave you but she just want to scare you to stay put in your place for the whole time, following your mother wherever she go.

As a medical procedure, you need to go to a pediatrician in a children’s hospital to be get a vaccine. You thought it was just a tablet you’re going to swallow then leave afterwards. Then, the scariest thing that happened is that a syringe with a needle emerged from the hands of the doctor. Of course, you’ll get really scared because it’s a freaking needle. Your parents might tell you that it doesn’t hurt and even promises. At the end, it hurts, a bit. But still, they lied.

Speaking about lying, a child can’t stop from lying and when you do, your dad would say that he know when you are lying and because of that, you don’t have a choice but to spill the beans. Well, it wasn’t necessary because most of the time they really don’t know if you are because they don’t know how a crazy cute little kid thinks.

To make you do good things your parents scare you by telling that your favorite Santa is watching you always and he will not give you a gift for Christmas. The truth is, it’s not Santa that has been putting gifts under your tree, it has been your parents. Therefore, watch out for your parents not Santa Claus.

What other lies did your parents tell you that you found out?

Stranger Danger

Who do you consider as strangers? Strangers are people that your mom and dad don’t know well. Bad strangers are not just the terrifying and ugly ones you see in the cartoon like Swiper in the Dora Explorer shows but sometimes the villains have the sweetest and most innocent faces. A bigger kid in your school can also be a stranger. However, not all strangers are bad. Some strangers will help you with problems like police officers and your dear teachers. You can ask help from them when you are in trouble with the bad guys.

The Internet is not the only unsafe places for children. Your own backyard and even your own school can be a dangerous place for kids if they aren’t guarded very well with authorities. If you try to reason out to your parents that they are just asking for help, maybe they actually didn’t. You are a child, you don’t know yet about everything and probably they would ask an older one if they were really asking truly. It’s not really rude if you say “No” or “I can’t help you”. You have to be rude sometimes for your own safety. If you don’t want to abducted, stay in safe places like school, at home with your parents and crowded places. You’re still young and naive but don’t worry, there will be a time you’ll grow up and you don’t have to worry about scary strangers anymore. Always have something in you that can contact your parents like a mobile phone or buzzer.

Don’t worry about wanting to meet new friends. You can still make new ones when you finally go to school! You can even play with them and invite them to play with your toys!

Watch how this social experiment worked out! 

Moody Parents

Was there a time where you asked your mom or dad to help with your homework and they tell you that they are busy? But when you start to nag them that you really need to do it that night, they get mad and tell you to stop annoying them. There are many reasons why they are sometimes or most of the times, “moody”.

Give them some space and time. You have to understand that your parents are not only attending to you but to other important things like strict bosses, heavy work, pile of bills and arguments with friends. Like every other human being, when you give them time to think and meditate, the heat will eventually go down.

Make them happy. Do you feel happy when your parents give you what you want? It’s also the same with your parents. Give them what they want to make them happy. You can also spend time with each other with activities you really like. As a kid, it does not mean ideas are limited. Making a “Be Always Happy” or “I love you” card does not depend on special occasions. You can even give them little notes everyday that will it make it complete. Showing you did a great job in school and your room is clean will soothe down their anger and bad mood.

Call Daddy or Mommy. When your mother is really moody, call daddy and vice versa. If you do not know the best words to be able to calm them down then your mom or dad can find different ways to do that. They can sort things out or you can both plan a good surprise to make him or her happy. Be sure it will not make it worse.
