Some people cannot bear the sight of puppy furs lying about on their sofa. Some should not tolerate a kitty lounging restfully on a couch stretching its hind legs to the full. And some even go ill-at-ease if a little dog is about. However, a pet has been scientifically proved to help more than it harms, especially in terms of children development. Essentially, a child with a pet to care for is much more privileged than a pet-free kid. A pet is an excellent trait-builder and has huge impact on their owner’s emotions. It also gears them up with tremendous knowledge both biologically and socially.



If your kid has a pet of his own, his characteristics will be more finely shaped. Keeping a living thing alive and healthy drives the child to take up responsibility. He is to make devotion of time and efforts to the animal that follows him to school at times. He should try his best to keep his pet at its best. And by so doing, he acquires the ability to empathize with not only the animal, but with other people as well. If you can see what a pet is looking for or how he or she might be feeling, you will be more likely to succeed at maintaining firm relationships friends and family members. Also, the pet makes your child more patient, since it requires quite a lot from him or her. By making a pledge and trying to keep it, your child will grow into a responsible person who has a strong sense of self-esteem, of what he or she has achieved. It is great feelings if you can say: “Look, this is my puppy. He is very happy because I love him very much.”



Our emotions are immensely influenced when a pet is by our side. In a scientific survey, some a hundred children were asked who they confided in in most of the cases, the answer was their pet. A pet is widely-reputed to have the most empathetic ears of all. Kids can talk to them, breathing into their ears the secrets that only the gape-posts know of. They also find the pet is in best tune with their in-the-chest feelings. The calming nature of the pet by the same token helps let your hair down in the most stressful situations. When your son is on edge receiving a D on his paper, his dog will do the trick. When your princess is blowing her top at you swallowing your words to take her to the park, her cat is your best assistant. Everything seems under control if a pet is there to stay.



Having a pet is an enormous source of knowledge to your child. With respect to biology, your child learns about the cycle of life, about birth, breeding, aging, and death. It’s far more interesting to observe how a new life comes into being right inside your house. Also, the animals’ behaviour holds a lot to be inquired about. A child may try to break down the language barrier between human and animals, which simultaneously makes for an articulate and efficient communicator, as the sole way to talk to a wigging dog is to use body language, which has recently been claimed to carry 80 per cent of all messages of face-to-face communication. Socially speaking, a pet draws children and parents closer to each other. If there is a task to be conducted with a concerted attempt, for example to clean and groom your kitty’s hair, the cooperation means fortified parent-child connection. The time when the father puts his son in the picture of why his pet is in a bad mood also enhances the family ties.



All in all, having a pet offers gigantic benefits on numerous spheres of life. The shaping of a young child is maximized when an animal is in sight. The emoting of human beings is significantly affected by men’s best friends. The knowledge a child gains through his pet is all too helpful. My son will be exposed to the world of animal firstly by being given a puppy of his own.
