'Mom, I want to raise a dog' 'You can eat and brush your teeth by yourself.' Smart mother guides in this way
Recently, my best friend was very worried and called me and said:
My child has recently become obsessed with dogs. When he sees a dog in the community, he can't walk. He always wants to play with the dog. They were all large dogs, and I don’t know why he wasn’t afraid, I was too scared to approach…
On the weekends, I have been clamoring for a dog, but I can't help it. I can only take him to the pet market, the taste is simply amazing. He kept asking me to buy it for him, how dare I decide for myself, I can only coax him, let him play there first, and finally stay there for a long time. Not doing anything, just watching the dog sleep and eat.
My child's active personality actually stayed for a long time...
You say, should I let him have a dog, or not?
In fact, I understand my best friend's concern. On the one hand, you need to go out for a walk every day to keep a dog, so you can't point at your child. I guess I ended up walking the dog by myself. On the other hand, what if the dog accidentally bites the child, or brings an infectious disease?
I remember watching "Mom is Superman" at that time, Bao Wenjing bought a puppy for her daughter in order to cultivate the love of dumplings. Many netizens complained: The heart of being a mother is really big, and the dog has infectious diseases!
But you know, in fact, as long as the dog is regularly checked and vaccinated, it is relatively safe to keep it at home. And for children, raising small animals is also good for children
- Out of the desire to protect one's own weak and naive little life
The children have been under the care of adults, but they are also caring, and they are usually the youngest at home and have never had the opportunity to express themselves.
But it is different for small animals, they become masters, and they can put their love on small animals.
- In one-child families, children are more inclined to communicate with animals
Now, more and more families are only children, and the children have a lot of things that they can't tell their parents. On the one hand, the parents are busy, and on the other hand, they feel that the parents do not understand them.
At this time, animals play a role in communication. Animals are faithful partners of children. They can accompany the little master at any time.
- Keeping animals can better exercise children
When children raise animals, they can develop their observation skills, and in addition, they can become more careful, patient and loving.
In the process of raising animals, you will find that animals are particularly fond of cleanliness, which can also allow children to develop good living habits.
So, how should we guide our children to raise small animals?
First, make a three-chapter contract with the child before raising it
Children often like the same thing out of hobbies, and there is no way to stick to it for a long time.
But small animals are not toys, and you have to throw them away when you don't want them.
Therefore, before raising small animals, you must make an agreement with your children about which things the children need to be responsible for, such as bathing the dog once a week, walking the dog after returning, etc., and you need to use your labor to earn dog food.
If the child can't even take care of himself well, and needs help from parents for things like eating and dressing, guide the child on the spot, and you can raise a puppy if you have the ability to take care of yourself first.
Second, don't waste too much time raising small animals
Children's childhood time is very precious, and raising small animals takes a lot of time. It is necessary to make an agreement with the children and not ignore their own learning.
Third, cultivate children's love through small animals
Raising small animals can better accompany the only child and reduce their loneliness.
In this process, you can also cultivate children's love, learn how to give love, and how to give feedback on love.
Of course, the biggest problem with pets is the death of pets, which has too much psychological impact on children. At this time, parents should make necessary reassurance to prevent the child from being traumatized.
It's not a bad thing for a child to want to keep a pet. When parents face their children's requirements, there is absolutely no need to face the enemy. Try to make an appointment with your child in advance, make full use of the opportunity of raising pets, and cultivate your child's independence and love
