We have so many animals
Animals have a profound affect on learning and development in children. Studies show taking care of a pet can help children develop social skills.
Benefits of Animals
Empathy and Respect. Children can learn to be empathetic to the needs of the animal and to recognize these needs without using words.
Learn. Focus on process rather than result cultivates the child’s innate joy in discovery and learning
Confidence and Comfort. Children often find animals comforting if they are feeling sad or low as the pet is always there to ‘listen to’ and ‘accept’ problems, when adults may not be.
