Pets aren\u2019t only our friends, they\u2019re members of the family!

Here are a few key reasons to consider bringing a pet into your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Teaches Responsibility\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons parents and caregivers may (or may not!) want a pet, is the fact that they require care and attention. If you\u2019re working full-time and raising an energetic toddler, the idea of grooming and feeding another living thing is daunting, to say the least! However, young children learn a lot about responsibility by doing simple tasks like filling up a pet\u2019s bowl with water or sprinkling food into a fish tank. These small but significant tasks not only teach responsibility, but also boost a toddler\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2020\/07\/17\/raising-a-self-confident-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>self-confidence<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Enhances Social Skills and Verbal Skills<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pets can also act as a building block for social skills. This is especially true for toddlers who have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/12\/supporting-a-child-with-a-slow-to-warm-up-temperament\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>slow-to-warm-up temperament<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While they may be hesitant to communicate with other humans, a pet can evoke <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/09\/18\/supporting-expressive-language-skills-during-baby-toddler-hood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>expressive language<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and invite new vocabulary as they learn more about the animal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Builds Empathy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As children learn to care for a pet, they\u2019re also learning how to empathize. Lessons on feeding a pet at the right times, not disturbing them while they sleep, or why you never take away a pet\u2019s favorite toy can help toddlers understand how to be kind, caring, and respectful. Caring for a pet also emphasizes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/10\/08\/theory-of-mind-the-foundation-of-relating-to-others\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Theory of Mind (ToM)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which helps toddlers understand that others have thoughts and feelings that are different from theirs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Offers Emotional Support<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one demographic that can truly benefit from the emotional support of animals, it\u2019s toddlers! Toddlers experience big emotions that can be complicated for them to process. When it comes to feeling angry, sad, or even embarrassed, the comfort of an animal can be an extraordinary source of support for a child. Pets are loyal, non-judgemental, and offer unconditional love. Pets can soothe toddlers during emotional moments, and help them learn to express, label, and understand their own emotions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Supports Physical Health<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids who grow up with pets tend to have better general health and are more likely to be active. Pets that require regular exercise help toddlers understand the value of movement throughout the day. In addition to exercise, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pediatrics.aappublications.org\/content\/pediatrics\/early\/2012\/07\/03\/peds.2011-2825.full.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>a study <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">published by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that babies who grow up with pets &#8211; especially dogs &#8211; are less likely to develop colds and other respiratory infections by the time they&#8217;re toddlers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no question that owning a pet involves time, energy, patience, but with the help of an animal, toddlers can learn big life lessons with positive impacts on the rest of their lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you grew up with a pet that you adored, you probably already know how incredible it is to have an animal as a friend.
