It is widely accepted to live with an animal can be highly beneficial for young children in many ways: be responsible for part of pet care, have a special bond of friendship with other species and even improves empathy is good to see him die, it helps to take the easiest and most natural life cycle.
In addition, many very young children from an animal and want to ask their parents what insistently. Something as desired can be very motivating.
What is important in these cases is be clear about what animal we accept in our home. Do not give in to sudden whims and learn about the care they need and whether they are able to give is essential, since all positive examples and lessons that could get the child can become the opposite if the child finds that the animal languishes and dies without proper care or is abandoned.
The dog, best friend of the child, but better if it is large
Almost all children, being able to choose a pet, opt for a dog. And indeed it is the quintessential playmate. They are extremely social animals, are continually seeking human companionship, they can be taught many tricks and share with them for long walks, throwing the ball, brushing ...
But pets are also more demanding: they require two or three daily walks, need to be educated, it should be a place for them during the holidays, live many years ... All these are responsibilities that a young child can not assume.
Only if parents are well aware is a better choice.
In case of choosing a dog should ideally be no small breed. The tiny dogs are also more fragile. A toddler can make a lot of damage unintentionally. Small dogs are also vulnerable and often know before they leave the care of children. It is preferable to a race (or mestizo) larger. At the very least it is recommended that the size of a cocker.
Of course, there are races especially affectionate, playful and patient with children: bobtail, boxers, Labradors and golden retrievers ... All are large dogs, is not a coincidence.
It is less important, but also advisable, to choose a female. The dogs are more docile and patient.
