Teach your child responsibility.
They say that having a pet in the house, and develops in children a sense of responsibility and care. But this is not always the case.
1. Bringing up the responsibility
Kids will not care and responsibility towards animals without parental example. They can not be careful and responsible on their own. That’s why animals can serve as an assistant to parents in the upbringing of children. If you have a pet, you may find it easier to raise a child some human qualities. Just follow the rules:
Remember that your child will copy you and your behavior. It will be exactly the same as your relationship to the animal, which is why you should love and care for your pet as often as possible.
Do not force your child to promise that he would himself take care of the animal. Not every teenager will be able to cope with all the problems associated with Craw our “little brothers, then what to talk about a little schoolboy.
Do not force your child to take care of the animal, and from time to time ask him to help you – change the water in a bowl or feed the animal.
He should understand that taking care of pets – it is rather pleasant experience, rather than the daily grind.
Make the child is considered animal welfare, as your joint pastime!
Always be near the child and pet: as when walking, and about his visits to the vet.
Treat your pet as a member of your family, and not as a burden.
Gradually, your child will get used to the fact that we must take care to animals and will help you without reminders and requests. So it will be more responsible.
2. Who do you choose?
Kitten suit a family in which there are hyperactive and easily deceived a child. Cats can feel a person’s mood, and their soft fur and purring will reassure all of you.
Puppy – the best choice for the shy and insecure child. He will feel at home with the dog in safety. Dogs make up for lack of communication, so sad a child will appreciate such a loyal and fun friend.
The guinea pig is right for you, if you have no ability or desire to have a larger animal. Mumps perfectly adapted to any environment. Moreover, they are like when they touched and stroked.
Teen may choose the animal itself, without your help. He’s already likely to have enough patience to independently take care of him. In addition, he is aware of its responsibilities and may look for any pet. In adolescence, children are often attached to the animals.
Try to understand the child if he decided to start fighting dogs (in fact it does not mean that you must walk with it and generally take care of her), perhaps the child is simply trying to compete with their aggression.
3. In some cases, you should not start a pet?
There is no clear answer to this question. Just every family should assess the home situation before taking the animal. For example, we would not recommend taking an exotic animal, because for them it is difficult to watch, as well as not worth taking a fighting dog family that has young children. If you or someone in your family is allergic, it does not take too furry animal.
4. How to prepare for the fact that you have a pet?
Do not read a child of lectures on how to take care of the animal. Just talk to him a few questions: Whom you take, what difficulties and pleasures await you. For greater effect, read together a few books about animals, and view photos. However, buy all the necessary accessories: bowls, cages, etc. The first two weeks until the pet is at home with the child get acquainted with him, his behavior and character. Your child must learn to communicate with animals, watch over him. In this case, your example is very important, but it can guarantee the friendship between you and your new family member.
If you want to have a pet, consider the following:
1. You must choose an animal that best suits your family, from the preferences of family members, ending with your lifestyle and home environment.
2. Try to learn as much as possible about the features of this animal, as well as buy a special literature.
3. Consider now: Who will look after the pet while you’re on vacation or on vacation?
4. Who will walk him? Do your family members allergies? How long an animal lives?
5. Adjust your schedule: as long as your pet will get used to their new environment, you should always be home.
6. Be prepared for a huge number of difficulties in the early days: you must teach the animal to go to the toilet while talking with him and walk regularly. Otherwise, your pet may get sick from boredom.
