Nowadays, many families choose to keep pets before giving birth to children. Therefore, after giving birth to children, such families will also choose to let their children grow up with pets. This also cultivates the relationship between children and pets. Therefore, many children are now willing to get along with animals. This is also a very common situation.
Generally speaking, cats and dogs will fight whenever they meet, but some families will educate these two animals very well, so that the two can live in harmony. Especially after having children, cats and dogs will have a mission, that is, to take care of children. This situation occurs in this video. The child in the video looks to be five or six years old. There is a cat and a large golden retriever at home. These two small animals not only accompany the children, but sometimes also become adults. As children's playmates, children will also put beautiful stickers on the heads of cats and dogs when playing with stickers. Children will also use the cat as a computer stand when watching TV with a tablet computer, prop the computer on the cat, and use the dog as a cushion to lean against the dog. The dog will also play football with the child and seems to have a great time. There are also games for doctors and nurses and games such as teaching dogs and cats to read. It seems to be a common occurrence. From the video, it can be seen that the three little dogs get along really harmoniously.
After watching this video, I believe that most people still yearn for such a life. However, sometimes if the pets at home are not obedient like this, they may cause certain harm to the children. So how can parents help their children and pets live in harmony without being harmed?
1. Establish a pet release period
Whether it is an adult or a child, they need an adaptation period when encountering a new thing. Therefore, if parents have pets, they still need to establish an adaptation period between the children and the pets so that the two can become familiar with each other. This way, the two can get along better. For example, when a parent brings a pet to their child or gives birth to a child after having a pet, the parent can take the child and the pet out for a walk, and then let the child control the pet's rope to cultivate feelings and establish a pet release period.
2. Stay by the child's side
If parents choose a pet for their child, or want a pet to accompany their child as they grow up, do not take it lightly because they think that the child can have good contact with the pet. Parents should pay attention to the fact that they must stay by their child's side when they are getting along with pets, so as to prevent the pet from doing any extreme behavior, and some Pets are not particularly close to children. Children may not have any danger signals when approaching them, but they will still subconsciously resist the animals. If they are small animals, they will not be very lethal, but if they are large animals, they may cause fatal danger to children. Therefore, parents must pay attention to keeping an eye on their children. After all, animals are wild, and there may be bad consequences if you are not careful.
3. Make children happy
If parents want their children to live in harmony with pets, the most basic point is that pets should make children feel happy. If parents just blindly raise pets according to their own style, without asking the children's wishes, then it may cause children to be repulsive towards the pet. After the rejection mentality, the child's attitude towards the pet will definitely not be very good. It should be a common problem to touch the pet. Sometimes, if the pet is not domesticated well, it may also respond to the child's behavior. Therefore, if parents want their children and pets to live in harmony, the most important thing is to make the child happy and respect the child's wishes.
4. Gentle guidance from parents
When the baby comes into contact with a pet for the first time, he will definitely behave inappropriately, such as pulling the animal's fur with his hands, or chewing the animal's ear with his mouth. Although there will be no serious harm, it will always make the pet uncomfortable. Comfortable, so at this time, parents need to be there to guide them. They should let their children understand that pets need to be treated seriously and tenderly, just like they treat their own parents, grandparents, and grandparents. This way, the children will have a foundation in their hearts and will treat them well in the future without being rude. Parents still need to train their children well when they treat pets.
Having said so much, do you have any pets at home? How do you let children and pets live in harmony?
