Reasons Why Pets Are Good for Children

For many of us, pets are part of everyday family life. But more than that, pets can actually aid childhood development in many ways. Veterinarian Dr. Katrina Warren says children who keep pets can benefit a lot. Here are some advantages.

1 Children often share their secrets with pets because pets don’t get cross at them and don’t judge. Pets are loyal, kind and they provide a gentle shoulder to cry on. Children love to include their pet in household events and celebrations such as birthdays and weddings.

2 When looking after a pet, children learn how to care for another living being as well as the importance of routine（常规）. Depending on the age of the child and the different pet, children can finish some tasks like feeding or walking the dog.

3 Most children may sit in front of TVs or computers, spending their weekends with the technology if they have nothing to do. However, playing safe games with pets or walking the dog keeps kids away from screens and get them outside to play.

4 Visits to the vet（兽医）can help children learn the importance of providing good health care to all living beings. Pets are also the first experience a child may have with birth and death. They can learn how to deal with the illnesses and how to face losses in life.

Pets help children grow as a person. Animals help children learn empathy（同情心）and respect, as well as develop social skills. Children who enjoy reading out loud to their pets may become more confident and improve their reading skill, too.

A. Pets can act as friends.
B. Teach important life lessons.
C. Help children make more friends.
D. Children may join in more activities.
E. Children can learn how to look after others.
