Baby animals

Live toy or a true friend? Who will become the child's four-legged pet and what do they teach fellowship with him - it depends on the parents. Even if your three-year-old pipsqueak asked to buy him a dog or pussy, promising to care for her, feed and walk, know that the animal will be long for him only a soft toy. Only closer to 5 years baby will be able to understand that the dog or cat requires and caring, and respect. That's why psychologists believe that to have a baby pet the best this age.


Be careful!




Regardless of whether there is anyone in your household Pets or you are only planning "addition", and may be, does not present next to any living creatures, there are rules of communication with animals, which should inspire any kid from a very early age. They all begin with the word "impossible", but no restrictions are not enough: how well the baby will learn them, depends not only on his ability to get along with four-legged friends, but also the security.




So never:




- close to approach unfamiliar animals: not to stray, nor to those that walk with the masters; I tease the animals, shouting at them or wave your hands; t run away from dogs; to approach and touch the animals when they eat or sleep


-to carry their tail, to beat or fondle


- take hands of street dogs and cats


- kiss of the animals, even domesticated. When the baby grows up, explain to him that before petting someone's dog or cat, you need to ask permission from its owner. To communicate with street animals only if they are well familiar to you: for example, if the dog lives in your backyard and offers friendly disposition. Tell your child that on the fur of dogs and cats (especially the homeless) there are many harmful germs, so after your baby finishes playing with your four-legged friend, it is necessary to wash hands with soap




Dogs and cats are well aware of the difference between adults and children and understand who is the boss and who is a friend of the games and amusements. Even calm the dog alone with the baby can afford something you never would do in adult hosts. This is why, until the child is small, it is better to play with a pet was held in the presence of elders.





My gentle beast


Pet is a thing about which the child can take care: to help feed, groom, walk. To teach the kid the responsibility of a pet, try to often involve not only to games, but to care. Select the activity that will be like and the child, and-necessarily - animal: for example, to put the cat food or brush the dog if she likes it.




Teach your child to see the four-legged friend is not a large soft toy, but a special person, may not like us, but with the same feelings and desires. As we take into account the opinion of another person, you need to take into account the opinion of the animal. If the dog is sleeping after a walk and is not configured on the game, do not awake her - it will be unpleasant, like any of us. Try to negotiate with the child "forbidden zone" where it will not touch the animal: for example, you cannot get the cat out of the nest, where she settles down to sleep.





I want someone!


Parrot, hamster, turtle, or fish require less care, but will not be able to give a child such a warm communication, like a dog or cat. Birds and waterfowl often become popular among adults, but the interest of little ones to him quickly disappears.
