Bringing a new animal home?

Do you want your child to be more involved in the care and responsibility of your new pet?

 

Does your child want a pet, but you don't want the responsibility of looking after the pet or teaching your child how to look after the pet?

 

In order to create a lasting, harmonious relationship between the pet and your child, it is important that the child learns to see the pet as a living creature instead of a toy.

 

Children will learn:

• How to understand the animal by reading the animal's body language - to know when and how to interact with the animal.

• What the animal needs to survive.

• Facts and history of the animal.

• Feeding the animal.

• Grooming the animal.

• Cleaning/Bathing the animal.

• Cleaning up after the pet (Recognize which items animals will chew or destroy and how to protect belongings).

• Cleaning the animal's cage, if applicable, or surroundings.

• Confidence when dealing and interacting with animals.

• To be gentle. (Never smack, pull ears or tails, or forcibly lead the pet.)

• When to leave the pet alone and not to disturb the pet.

• When rough and tumble games are appropriate.

 

Children can learn about the following animals:
Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Birds, Lizards, and Fish
