Got Pets?
February 18th, 2009 . by adminA great way for someone, especially a child or children, to learn to care for and empathize with others is to consider raising pets. Pets bring many advantages to people of all ages and stages of life. For a young child, it shows them the importance of caring for and nurturing another living creature, as well as assisting them with developing empathy. Pets can also provide some great entertainment! I remember spending hours pulling a string for my cat, and playing catch in the backyard with my dog. Now I am teaching my children how to assist me with raising and caring for pets.
