Pets are beloved by kids, and for good reason. Both large and little creatures may teach, amuse, and provide a particular form of friendship to you and your kids. Pets, like any other member of the family, may significantly influence a child’s development. A positive relationship with a pet can help children, especially in childcare programs, with areas like social-emotional and motor skills.

Pets are part of many children’s lives. A child who learns to care for an animal, and treat it kindly and patiently, may get invaluable training in learning to treat people the same way. As a provider of childcare in Toledo, Ohio, we believe that pets are considered a family and can help with your child’s development. Here are some of the benefits of having a pet:

• They strengthen family bonds.
  Families bond and enjoy great shared experiences when they play with their pets together.
• They teach life lessons.
  Children learn about issues like birth, health, and aging from their pets, who are living animals.
• They help kids to learn accountability.
  Pets rely on us for a lot of things, including feeding, cleaning, and walking them. Some of these responsibilities can be taken on by kids, who will gain responsibility-related skills.
• They help kids respect other living things.
  Pets are living creatures that kids can learn to appreciate and care for, although they appear and behave differently from humans.
