Step 1
If the parents, yielding to the persuasion of the baby, decided to purchase an animal, then they are faced with the question of choice. Which animal is right for their baby, how to choose from the current variety. Psychologists advise in this matter to focus on the temperament and personality of the child. Phlegmatic and introverted people are more fond of small animals. Hamsters, guinea pigs or cats are suitable for them. More active and playful children will be happy with a dog or a bird. And for nervous, restless children, an aquarium will be a good sedative.
Step 2
Having made friends with the baby, the animal begins to feel his condition, his change of mood, tries to support him in difficult times. Often, pets even adopt the child's habits. It is much more fun with a four-legged friend, because no child's activity will do without his participation. It doesn't matter whether it is a game or a dream - a faithful friend will always be with your baby.
Step 3
Scientists have long proven that animals in the home are sources of happiness. They have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere in the house, as well as on those who live in this house. People are less likely to get sick, their immunity is higher than that of others, and children are calmer and more resistant to stress. Psychologists are sure that children with animals next to them develop faster than their peers. They are more sociable and easily converge with peers, they have more developed leadership inclinations. In addition, caring for an animal helps to develop in children kindness and attentiveness to the needs of others, teaches them to love and compassion.
Step 4
Usually, children like kittens and puppies more, because they are more playful and mobile. Together they can mess around and play for hours. Such games help the development of children's motor skills, tactile perception, the baby actively learns the world, grows stronger and dexterous. Older children begin to appreciate adult animals, because you can walk with them, and talk with them, and any business with them argues faster.
Step 5
Parents are often worried about animal hair allergies. But pediatricians say that children who come into contact with pets are significantly less likely to develop allergies. Moreover, these children suffer less from upper respiratory tract diseases.
