Is it good to have pets for your children? My child has always had pets yet people tell me that he should not have animals. What do you think?

I think that having a pet for a child is good because it gets them used to animals being around them so it prevents them from developing a fear, plus they will learn how to act around dogs/cats/lizards or whatever so yea i think its a good idea

I think a child having a pet is a good thing, it enhances the sensation of responsibility in a person and also their might be some health benefits to having a pet according to several studies like lower chance of possibly developing asthma.

So true! By having a pet my son has overcome many of his allergies and his immune system has grown stronger.
