child-and-dogs A child growing up with pets around is usually happy, affectionate and responsible from a very  young age.  They experience learning respect for animals and the importance of affection  becomes permanent.

How to bring out the best between your child and the pet is in your hands.  First of all, show  your child the proper way of handling pets.  Kids could be very excited when around pets.  Be a  guide especially if it is your child’s first time to have a pet.  Tell your child some facts about the  pet, this way your child understands what some important facts about cats/dogs are.  Encourage your child to play gently with the pet.  Introduce the use of toys.  Let your child  understand what the importance of sleeping is and how he could help in giving this to his pet.  Remind your child the importance of not letting the pet outside your home without  supervision.  To keep their pets safe, it is a must that your child learns how to protect the  cat/dog from any untoward incident.  Teach them the use of the leash or a stroller if that is the way you usually take your pet out.
