Pets provide many benefits
to kids.
Pets are part of many
families. The involvement of
the parents is essential in
teaching children necessary
skills to responsibly care for
pets. Before a pet is
purchased, be sure to do the
necessary research to
assure the right match for
the family dynamic. Young
children have not developed
self-control skills, therefore
adult supervision with the
pet will be required. Exotic
animals should be considered
carefully as they will have
higher maintenance
demands. Family pets are
not just animals; they are
family members and foster
children's cognitive,
emotional and physical
development.
