Pets teach children valuable life lessons like responsibility, trust, compassion, respect and patience. There are many benefits to owning a pet. Animals provide opportunities for children to hone their social skills, practice care-giving and nurturing, and even to carefully explore issues of power and vulnerability. Clearly, animals are important, and most adults recognize this.
Pets offer comfort and companionship to kids. No matter what mood they are in, children find support and security from their animal companion, which often means they are less anxious or withdrawn. Moreover, a class pet can teach children important values stress relief.
