5 Tips to Get Your Child Ready for a Pet
4. Teach your kids about the concept of life and death
This is very important otherwise the child may suffer traumatically in case of sudden injury/death of the pet.
5. Give him/her some ‘pet experience’ before actually getting the pet
If anyone among your friends or family is having the pet that you are planning to get, ensure that your child spends some time with that pet. Ask your friends or family to allow the pet and your child to spend some time together and you can monitor how your child acts and behaves. This will give you a fair idea about the readiness of your child.
Remember that you need to keep instilling in your child that your pet is also a family member and no matter what, you never give up on family and you’ll always have to be there for the pet!
