Child’s love for animals
Far before the child learns to walk, he begins to show an interest in animals. This is especially noticeable if there is already a cat or dog in the house where the child lives..
Older children may be interested in the variety of inhabitants living in cages and aquariums..
The baby shows interest in animals without outside help. But to teach a child to love and take care of him without causing pain is the task of the parents..
Young children easily absorb everything that happens around them, copying the behavior of those around them. Therefore, love and care for animals must be instilled in childhood. Parents should show their good attitude towards animals by example. If day after day the baby sees the care and kindness of mom and dad in relation to the pet, then very soon, and he will show such feelings for him. After all, a child who is instilled in a caring attitude towards his dog or cat simply cannot treat him with indifference and cruelty.
There are guidelines that help instill in your child a sense of responsibility and compassion for animals. It’s not enough just to show your love for them.
It may happen that a child brings home a small puppy or a cat and asks to take him in. Do not rush to refuse him. Such an answer will seem indifferent to him. After all, one cannot be cruel in relation to someone else’s misfortune. This situation is the basis of education..
At a certain age, each child asks his parents to have a pet at home. Before you refuse, figure out what caused such a desire. Perhaps one of his friends has a four-legged friend, and he also wanted this for himself. It is possible that this is a fleeting impulse of feelings that will very soon pass..
Explain to your child that the animals need to be looked after, fed, bathed, and walked. The child should think well and make a decision for himself. This will help him realize that the life and comfort of his pet depends on him, and a lot of effort should be made towards this..
Having a pet in the house develops responsibility in the child. Therefore, you should take this into account if you suddenly decide to have a four-legged friend for your baby. Be careful that the child does not hurt the animal without wanting to. In this case, the baby should be explained how to communicate with the animal..
A child’s smile and positive emotions will help to overcome all the difficulties associated with keeping your pet. Moreover, the delivery service for dog or cat food is now well developed enough that you do not worry about it. They will help you and tell you what is best for your pet. The veterinary clinic will advise on how to properly care for him.
