Children and Pets
Pets have an innate ability to live in the now and stay present, as do children. Somewhere along the way as we grow older, we lose touch with that natural ability. Instead of following this path what if we can influence our children to stay present, having a profound impact on their lifelong happiness?
Kids & Pets Safety
Pets and children are a natural pair, but there are also safety concerns for both the child and the animal. A bite or attack by a pet is a potentially serious event for a child. A pet might also become injured if a child doesn’t know how to handle it properly. Taking precautions early in the pet-child relationship helps avoid injuries for everyone involved.
Pets for Children With Allergies
Exposing children to animals by giving them pets to care for can aid in developing their nurturing instincts. However, developing pet allergies can hinder the healthy bond between your children and their pets. Fortunately, some pets are suitable for children with pet allergies. Choose the best type of allergen-free animal for your children and allay your pet allergy phobias.
Can Kids and Pets Mix?
My daughter Ava and I have started a new tradition: every once in a while, we like to visit the kitties at the Humane Society. My girlfriends think Im crazy. Doesnt it break your heart? they ask. Im a little embarrassed to admit that it doesnt. I see the cats lounging in their semi-private studio apartments with wall-to-wall blanketing. Sure, theyre imprisoned, but this is hardly San Quentin. Bleeding hearts ask how I can resist bringing one home.
Pets for Children With Asthma
Family pets are often problematic for children with asthma. Some animals, however, are less likely to worsen asthma symptoms. For families who have a child with asthma or a strong family history of allergies, it’s always best to have some extended exposure with an animal before you decide to bring it home and make it part of your family. It’s better to find out that an animal irritates your child’s asthma before bringing it home rather than afterward.
