No matter how many responsibilities parents may take on when there is a pet at home, all children, from toddlers to teenagers, can benefit. For one thing, children observing parents taking care of pets, can learn to be kind and gentle. They may even ask to help out with the easier jobs, like putting food or water into a dish. Pets are also good for children’s health. Apart from health benefits,pet ownership has beneficial effects on family relationships.
