lucysakura_91 skip to main skip to sidebar lucysakura_91 sunday october 18 2009 advantages of having a pet having a pet has many advantages pets teach children about the existence of other living creatures first hand rather than on television pets help children understand nature s ways and the authentic natural world rather than animated cartoons where all the animals predators and prey get along famously nice but it teaches a false perception of the ways of the animal kingdom perhaps your toddler is not ready to watch the national geographic channel where predators mercilessly run down their prey and eat them alive but the misconceptions of movies such as the lion king don t prepare your child for the real cycle of life owning and caring for a pet teaches your child responsibility and accountability fish die when they aren t fed hamsters squeal in pain if they re squeezed puppies have housebreaking accidents that need to be cleaned up animals aren t like stuffed teddy bears they need food water veterinary care and a clean environment pets die children often have their first brush with death and grief when a beloved pet dies or must be euthanized understanding a pet s death is a dress rehearsal for the death of grandmother or uncle bob coping with death is an important part of a child s socialization having a pet teaches toddlers the essential skill of empathy with other people and with animals at this age children should be developing a sense of compassion and emotional intimacy with others this is how they learn to make friends and to avoid doing things that hurt others caring for a pet is the perfect opportunity for toddlers to learn kindness and tolerance pets are a lot of fun toddlers are endlessly fascinated watching hamsters run on their wheel the crazy antics of ferrets the playfulness of puppies and kittens the graceful movements of goldfish and the chattering of birds having a pet is not only great fun but pets also provide valuable knowledge about the way real life animals function in the world with puppies they find the only unconditional source of love in their lives if you think your toddler is ready to care for a pet first consider what kind of pet is appropriate for your child s age degree of understanding how to care for the pet and the child s comprehension that these are living creatures that need daily care for example it would not be appropriate for a toddler to care for a large hookbill parrot such as a macaw or african grey these talkative birds live a human lifespan require special care and have unpredictable natures they can snap off a curious child s finger in seconds these birds are pets for adults not children if you feel your child is ready for a puppy remember that the puppy will grow into a full sized dog dogs known for aggressive temperaments such as american pit bull terriers rotweilers chows and akitas aren t good choices for a toddler good natured dogs like labradors golden retrievers dachshunds poodles and spaniels are a much better choice not ready for puppies and kittens fish guinea pigs and hamsters make outstanding first pets children learn to feed them clean their environments interact with them carefully and gently and they provide hours of fun parakeets are also good choices their bright colors and cheerful chattering are interesting and entertaining for a small child pets can do wonders to enrich your child s life working with animals can be a very rewarding experience and teach your kids many valuable lessons if you feel your child is ready and responsible enough for a pet choose wisely and teach your child how to care for another living creature posted by lucy at 6 00 am no comments benefits and harmful effects of having a pet have you ever tried having pets at home if you have then you know how important pets are to man even in the olden days animals are very beneficial to man given that they are believed to be harbinger of good omen to man pets are not only animals at home they have beneficial effects to man but they also have the harmful effects let us first talk about the beneficial effects of pets to man health it is believed that there are health benefits that man could get from pets at home health experts say that a man who feels happy because of his pet at home will live a healthier and longer life than a man without a pet the joy that man obtains from having a companion who is obedient and who is fun to be with makes life for a pet owner happier and thereby giving him a longer life entertainment pets are very entertaining to have at home they give us the feeling that is unexplainable they could make us laugh and smile when they do things that are unexpected of them and they give us a tickle on the toes when they lick us or make sounds that we love to hear pleasant companion there is a saying from people that says a pet is a better companion than a person why is this true pets never complain they don t answer back and they don t curse no matter how annoyed they are pets are very obedient companions and you can never hear bad things from them because they don t speak this is the reason why many people think that they are better companions spice of life pets are spice of life they make us feel happy and content they also give us the happiness that we need without asking something in return they avoid stress pets avoid stress in life if you go home with a headache and your pet meets you with a lick and a wag of its tail your stress could be totally forgotten if you have a pet bird and it whistles and sings as soon as it sees you getting in the door your stress would surely be washed away pets shield man from adversities animals are believed to shield man from adversities that are coming when they die they are taking the place of a person who is supposed to die this is the reason why a lot of people love to have pets at home that could shield them form adversities pets keep a home alive imagine yourself alone in your home with no one to talk to and nothing to do when you go home with a pet waiting for you when you come home from work your home becomes alive if you have a pet at home you will have someone to talk to and someone who makes noise when the house is too quiet of course there are also harmful effects of having pets at home allergy there are people who have allergy from pets this makes it impossible for one to have a pet at home disease sometimes even well taken cared pets could give diseases to a person so the best way to take care of pets is to make sure you visit the veterinarian regularly to ensure that your pet is healthy and will not infect you with any kind of disease pets could hurt man pets are still animals that could hurt man especially children if they are not handled carefully of course not all pets could hurt but there are some instances when a pet hurt his master mess around there are times when the house gets messy because of pets if you are too busy and have little time to clean the mess the house will smell awful there are more beneficial effects of having a pet at home and having pets at home is good except for people who are too busy to have time for pets pets are very advisable to have at home because it gives us a lot of benefits animals encourage social contact between people we are a social species and we find great comfort in each other s company our studies and others have shown that people with animals are actually viewed by others as being nicer better people of course politicians have used that effect for years and you ll always see when a politician gets in trouble they get a dog sometimes a cat that attribution we make serves very nicely to help socialize people perhaps even more important for people who are stigmatized and it s probably one of the roles therapy animals play so if you look at how we interact with our animals it is not surprising at all that there are important health benefits in our relationships with them petting a dog drops your blood pressure so does watching a fish tank just as petting a dog drops your blood pressure so does watching a fish tank and it is so relaxing that we ve shown it even helps people who are about to go for dental surgery we use that population because they are predictably very stressed and welcome anything to help with that stress the tanks have an additional advantage of allowing people in the waiting room to interact you cannot talk to someone who is reading a magazine but it is perfectly acceptable to share the experience of watching fish in the tank so the shared opportunity of watching the fish is less stressful different animals provide different kinds of interactions so there is no one perfect pet except the one that is perfect for you animals are a major way young people learn empathy and nurturing behaviors gail nelson here at purdue points out that animals are a major way young people learn empathy and nurturing behaviors which is especially important for male children in our society because male children do not have any nurture games such as playing house or dolls and in fact consider caring a sissy activity except animals animal care is considered perfectly acceptable for all genders and all ages so for young boys it may be their first experience for being rewarded for being a nurturer the other major role animals play for young people is being their nonjudgmental friend 97 percent of people talk to their dogs and cats three percent lied as almost everyone talks to their dogs and cats posted by lucy at 6 00 am no comments causes of having a pet pets teach kids to be responsible children can learn the importance of responsibility at an early age by acting as a caretaker for a pet fish are a terrific first pet because children can play a large role in caring for them however other pets that require more attention like a cat or dog can present an ideal opportunity for parent and child to bond while caring for the pet together showing children what it means to be responsible for another creature s survival can result in teaching important life lessons such as discipline patience kindness and attentiveness pets can help kids develop discipline walking the dog feeding the guinea pig and talking to the parrot can serve as fun study breaks for kids and a replacement for television programs and video games these pet related activities help children remain focused on the task at hand and are less likely to become distractions that will prevent homework and chores from being completed pets prepare kids for life situations bringing a pet home and into the family can be an effective way to help prepare children for real life scenarios for example pets can ease the transition of suddenly having to share mom and dad s attention with a new brother or sister by demonstrating how much fun new playmates can be as well as what is involved in caring for another pets can also help kids learn to deal with medical issues and illnesses as they are exposed to routine veterinarian check ups with their pet and the treatments for various ailments pets make great personal fitness partners increasingly people are finding that their personal fitness plans have gone to the dogs and cats even ferrets pets are the perfect workout companions their enthusiasm for a little outdoor activity is infectious and inspiring strolling about with a pet whether it s a dog on a leash a cat in a carrier a snake around your neck or a ferret in your pocket is a great way to meet other animal lovers who are outside enjoying the day too posted by lucy at 5 58 am no comments sunday september 13 2009 what is the value of having a pet a hobby pets are good for your health apparently a cuddly cat a loving dog some people are so attached to their pets you d think they were part of the family well as any pet owner will tell you they are but unlike relationships with human family members which can sometimes be difficult and a source of stress owning a pet can significantly improve overall health and reduce risk of disease the benefits of pet ownership are real physically mentally and psychosocially research has shown that when dog or cat owners were asked to perform a stressful arithmetic task they showed less stress in the company of their pets than in the company of a friend other studies have found that owning a pet relieves depression reduces blood pressure and triglycerides and improves exercise habits all of which can lower the risk of heart attacks studies even suggest that having a pet might improve survival after a heart attack the value of growing up with pets company a pet is a great source of company if you spend a lot of time by yourself a pet can be a wonderful addition to your home most pets will love you unconditionally and it is a great feeling knowing that there is something in your house you can spend time with if you need to compassion one of the best reasons to have pets in your house is because they teach you compassion if i ever have children i will always make sure they grow up around animals because they are a fantastic way to help them understand that other beings have feelings that need to be considered and respected responsibility when you have a pet you can t just head off for the night or go on a weekend getaway they need to be fed given fresh water and so on having a pet in your life will teach you responsibility better than almost anything else because it is more than a normal responsibility it is a living creature laughter i have done more laughing in this past week than i have done in the whole of last year the kitten is hilarious jumping around climbing on things sleeping on his head etc laugher is something that shouldn t be missing from anyone s life and a loving pet is one of the best ways to get it posted by lucy at 7 15 am no comments home subscribe to posts atom followers
