Kids and Pets
10 Mar 2009
When I was younger, we brought home pets all the time with no consideration as to what was best for the pet AND the family. As I grew older, I began to understand more about the importance of educating children on the needs of a pet. When we decided to get a dog, we knew we had to train our daughter how to behave just as much as we needed to train the dog.
It is really important to assess your child’s maturity level and necessary involvement when introducing a new animal family member. This site has great pet recommendations by age. It has great tips on how to build a relationship between your pets and your children and safety precautions. How important do you feel it is to educate your child on their role in your pets’ life?
