I think having a pet at home is positive from all points of view for children.
Elda already told us about a survey according to which 80% of parents considered that having a pet contributed to making their children happier and more sociable.
Among other benefits, doctors at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia said they also It helps improve self-confidence and children's self-esteem.
As they always say, and it is very true, they also said that caring for a pet helps develop their sense of responsibility, and that exposes children to understand life processes such as reproduction, birth, disease, accidents or death .
Another advantage of living with a pet is that it creates a very special connection between the animal and the child, encouraging the child to understand the sense of respect for other living beings.
Without forgetting also that he learns to share and that he receives as much as he is capable of delivering unconditional love, loyalty and affection.
All are benefits from the moment a pet enters home, whatever the animal is, as long as its arrival is accompanied by a consistent philosophy.
That is, children get very rich when they are raised with a pet, but when bringing an animal home, parents have to make a commitment to teach them to respect and care for them properly.
