What do pets do to children? Kindly shares your thoughts

Pets could be a companion by children and serves also as playmates in cases the child have few real friends. It is during childhood that children becomes playful that they learn to react to become friendly and sociable at the same time.

Hi paula, I too is a animal lovers and when i away at home or in travel I have to call my companion in the house to remind them to feed my pets 3 times a day. As I could not really enjoy going out knowing that my pets are hungry and need to take care of them like babies or children. I treat them as part of my family. I also have pets and have 1 female cat and dozens of love birds. I love to feed them everyday as they are really affectionate especially the cat is very endearing and love to hug her fur while circling on my feet.

While,the lovebirds, everyday have to feed them and look on their feathers while swaying on the branches with their mate. It really makes my day cheerful. It is also true having pets in home reflected the personality of the person as the manners she treat an animals reflects also the attitude of the person as kind, caring, loyal friend and respectful. Your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mother as you allow her to have her own pets as some parents are wary of having pets around as they think of some pets may endanger their children, for examples afraid the pet would bite or harm their children. So it is also good to choose pets which could easily follow command,obedient and friendly that you could trust to leave with them your children playing around with them. Your daughter really develop a close bonding with her pets, thus develop sympathy and compassion which all a good traits..Thanks for responding.

Hi pose, yeah, having the ability to care for pets and owning them teach children to becomes responsible in caring and feeding. It teaches children the values of being kind to animals, extending this beautiful traits not only to the animals but also to the way a children socialize with her neighbors and playmates.

hi letran, Yeah that is true and even to us..adults could also makes them as our companion as pets are very loyal sometimes more affectionate than a real friend..
thus, pets are here to stay makes anyone happy and eases boredom..

Dogs are loyal friends and guard too and cat is very endearing.I remember i had a dog before but he died of old age like the age is 13 years old and it say when a dog reach that age they feel like a 70 years old man. I do all the things to take of my pets but he died anyway. I am sad to his passing that for a long time I have not own a pets, only a few cats as they are fast to populate my places. My mom decide to give the other kittens to my neighbors and although I like to care and feed them, my mom do not like to smell the litter..then tired of getting to clean them everyday..well my cat is also an indoor cat and she like to sleep in soft pillow all the time, then lick his body then circles around my legs..very noticeable..since she like to beg for food and always follow me wherever I go..sometimes annoying but they makes my day cheerful..
Yeah,dogs have been train too in many patients like in your daughter with epilepsy as dog get more a strong senses they could detect the aura of the patients if they are going to have seizures then comes to take your attention,. They are very helpful..thus keeping pets is like a family member too..Thanks for responding.
