Pets provide many benefits to kids. Pets are part of many families. The involvement of the parents is essential in teaching children necessary skills to responsibly care for pets. Before a pet is purchased, be sure to do the necessary research to assure the right match for the family dynamic. Young children have not developed self-control skills, therefore adult supervision with the pet will be required. Exotic animals should be considered carefully as they will have higher maintenance demands. Family pets are not just animals; they are family members and foster children's cognitive, emotional and physical development.

Life Lessons and Responsibility Pets teach children important lessons about life, birth and bereavement. When a pet passes away, it is often a child's first encounter with the death of a loved one, which helps them prepare for the loss of friends and family members in the future. Pets can also help children connect and develop a respectful relationship with nature. Children will learn responsibility through small but important tasks. They most make sure the pet is fed, cleaned and exercised regularly, and that those responsibilities take preference over other activities the child may wish to do.

Health Benefits Pets can increase the overall emotional and physical health of a child. They can help to lower depression, reduce heart disease and teach kids about potential medical issues and illnesses. Pets can also help ease the transition or emotional stress of a new caregiver, school or sibling.
