Perhaps, there is a child who once would not have been asked to buy him a dog. Or bug. Or at least fish. But many parents remain deaf to these requests. But in vain. After all, Pets and entertain, and educate. But it is important to choose correctly. From the point of view of psychology, the first beast should appear in the house when the child was 3-4 years - says educational psychologist Julia Nikitina. Is the age when your child begins to actively explore the world. And any livestock is the source of knowledge about nature: let the child takes the animal into his arms, stroking it, feeling the texture of fur, watching the behavior of. However, to take care of a pet will still need parents. Don you just to warn everybody: the promise that "pet develops a child's sense of responsibility" not true at any age. No need to be fooled! Still some concerns (and their cargo) will fall on your shoulders. Be prepared, and then the pet will not cause quarrels and disappointments. Our goal is to make children helped as much as. You can specify some specific responsibilities: a walk with the dog, a visit to the vet, buying food and t.n. The main thing - without fanaticism. The main advantage of the arrival of the new inhabitant - positive emotions. That is what we are lacking so much today. But the appearance of the pet house may not be an emotional decision.The hassle...
Recently an appointment with the vet lady brought a squirrel, saying that he was unwell something... "what do you feed her? "asked the doctor. "Nuts, sausage..." - "Sausage?! " - "Well, Yes, she's a predator! "We cannot have a pet, if you can not create the conditions for its normal existence, warns chief doctor of the veterinary clinic Andrey Komolov. - Any living creature requires a special approach. Even fish, if you do not follow certain rules, will suffer. Remember: the concept of "animal, easy-to-content" does not exist. Simply there are informed and uninformed owners. So the first rule: before you have a pet, learn (at least from books or from the Internet) as much detail as possible about its content, health problems, and the like. And the second rule: be prepared for the financial costs. So, adult dogs and cats (even homemade) times per year need to be vaccinated. Important point: if you are not going to breed puppies or kittens, the animal is desirable to sterilize. This will save the dog (or cat) from breast cancer and inflammatory processes in the uterus. And if we are talking about the dog (or cat), deprived of a normal personal life, the animal can become aggressive, the dog will begin to start fights with other dogs, cat - hunt masters and t.n. In these cases you will need castration. And feed the dogs and cats that eat themselves, not categorically. If only because animals are contraindicated all salty, fatty and fried. So the right choice of commercial feed or high-quality natural products that are prepared specially for animal. And if you regularly break the mode of feeding, health problems (and hence spending on services veterinarians and drugs) to avoid. Moreover, turtles, except for special feed, require a terrarium, a special temperature mode and your knowledge of how to provide them with conditions for winter hibernation (if we are talking about Central Asian). And fashionable rodents Daegu - special sand for swimming and special food. Even the wavy parrots have to buy the "right" cell. By the way, they can't stand draughts and cannot handle.
...and the joys
Seven-year-Jura - child hyperactive. Since then, as he went to school, behavior problems only intensified. But recently appeared in the family adult cat Musya - came to the house on their own. And suddenly decided part of the educational problems. - Yurka never loved plush toys, " says the mother, " and Moses - so soft and warm, imbued. And now in the evening drags her with him in bed, hugs, something she says, and then quickly falls asleep. And she suffers! Waiting for the son falls asleep, and then goes. Of course, to believe or not in the curative properties of cats and other animals - a private affair of each. But some psychologists still believe: children are introverts for the benefit of the animals, which is nice to hold and stroke (cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs). Long contemplation slowly floating fish calms the nervous system excitable children. And guys-extraverts like have one dog, with which you can communicate not only when she wants it, but when it is necessary for the owner. Or wavy parrot, which can be taught to speak. And another important point: a pet can be a good friend for shy children who find it difficult to find a common language with their peers. Moreover, pet teaches master communication: for example, vygulivaya dog, the child inevitably finds new friends, getting into a club of like-minded lovers.
Caution: mercy!
A few years ago grader Alena came home in tears: at the car Park next to the courtyard she saw a dying dog, ripped from the belly which hung intestine. The guards Parking explained that she was taken away to be sterilized, and a week after returning seams parted. - Save-it! - sobbing, crying daughter to parents. And those surrendered. The dog with the help of veterinarians nursed for more than a month. Spent a lot of money and a lot of effort. And when Naida (the so-called Alena rescued dog) finally came to, got a new problem. Staying home alone, the dog howled loudly and dug door. Stealing food from the table. And while walking strove to escape from the hostess. However, pobega, still returned to the call. Neighbors quarreled because of noise, mom and dad - because of missing with a plate of meatballs and torn upholstery doors. And Alena gave up. She just pulled while walking to Find with a leash. Dog habit rushed to run at will, and Alena quickly walked away. What happened to the animals - history is silent. The house on the question of the parents of the girl briefly replied: "Run away! " With the tacit approval of more in the family of Nigde not remembered... So to take or not to take? In a sense homeless animal in the family? The answer is ambiguous. It would seem, from the point of view of charity and educational moments - take! But only if you really are willing to bear for a pet responsibility. - The first thing you need to do, " warns Dr. Komolov, is to show the animal to the vet. Because homeless animals can carry diseases dangerous to humans. For example, rabies. And in addition, it is unknown what their mind: what happened to them while they wandered about? And what kind of people lived in the past? For example, with the former homeless dog can be difficult to walk due to the fact that it all just afraid. Or from fear will bite. So, picking up on the street the pet, be ready that you will need the help of zoo - psychologist specialist who corrects anomalies in the behavior of our younger brothers.
A special case № 1
Recently, twelve-year-old Anna had been an accident: in the entrance it was attacked by the stranger. The girl managed to escape, but she was frightened. And her parents decided to get a dog to protect their daughter while walking. But riesenschnauzer the Jhoola guard was irrelevant: on the street constantly ran away, and she chased her through the dark alleys and backstreets. The handlers say: skills for specific tasks the animal may develop and consolidate specialist. But the main mistake of the parents in this situation - the choice of breed. To communicate with the child, preference must be given not dogs-guards or dogs-hunters, and potentially non-aggressive and not very large dogs. So, for example, you cannot buy a baby Rottweiler. This breed requires not only training, but also build a strict hierarchy in the family. The child is physically the weakest, and that is dangerous, even if the dog is well behaved. Moreover, the law prohibits to walk dogs of large breeds even teenagers, not children younger. In General, the course of General training it is advisable to go to any dog, even a Yorkshire Terrier. Especially if they are still in the family was not yet dogs. Let the dog will tell you how to behave with your pet what common mistakes in upbringing should be avoided and t.n.
Private case study # 2
When she was 3 years old, my dad brought home a hamster. Daughter was delighted: she liked that zhivotinku so soft, fluffy. She took the hamster in his hands and was stroking and squeezing... Squeezing... Squeezing... and the beast barely managed to save from strangulation. Parents fright bawled Dasha. And she cried, not realizing why blame. What to do in this situation? "Do not lose vigilance! " - counseling psychology. You need to stop such actions children, explaining to them that it shouldn't be done, and that the hamster (fish, bird) can get. And personally demonstrate the correct attitude to the animal because the child will be to copy the behavior of adults. And yet it is desirable to locate the animal age. So, 5-6-year-olds it will be interesting to care for hamsters or Guinea pigs. In 8-9 years children can feed the parrot or fish and to follow the procedure in the aquarium. In a couple of years to groom a cat and wag the dog small breed. However, this age limit is rather conditional. Up to 15-16 years old baby still can not do without adult assistance. And it is the parents responsibility for the content of Pets.
