5 Dos and Don'ts We Must Teach Our Children with Pets and Dogs
by Presidium Gurgaon EducationWe all know that a pet especially a dog , has a great impact on the
child’s upbringing. It has a great
impact on how they treat others. Senior teachers from few best schools in
Gurgaon, suggest that having a pet teaches children empathy, kindness,
responsibility, and self-confidence. We adore the way children behave and treat dogs
such as cuddle them, hug them, and sometimes scold them. However, there are
certain mannerisms that we need to follow while treating a pet, says a veteran
psychologist at associated with a list of top schools in Gurgaon.
Let’s have a look at few important
dos and don’ts that we must ensure and teach our children about pets as
suggested by consultants with a list of top schools in Gurgaon :
1. When eating: Pets want to eat
at peace and at their own pace and way. They do not appreciate when someone put
their hands into their meals. Hence,
explain that children should stay away from the dog and pets when it has been
offered treat or meals. Only adults should feed the dog.
2. While they are playing, do not take any toy: Its rude and disturbs them. Children also learn to develop
patience and tolerance. Incase of your dog, train them to give up the toy for a
reward. Upon training, the dog will give away the toy instead of guarding it.
3. Sleeptime: It is basic manner not to
disturb anyone while they are sleeping, children need to understand that the
same implies for pets too. Make sure they are sleeping in the area where they
are not disturbed, else you may startle them.
4. Body
language : You can help your child understand the pets dog’s body language with pictures, approaching
them when they look happy and playful . If a dog is in a relaxed posture
with a wagging tail and open mouth it is okay to approach the dog; however, if
it is in a stiff posture, and looks alert and avoid eye contact then it better
to stay away.
5. Always show love and kindness: Pets
dislike being handled roughly. Dogs can be trained to tolerate it; however, it
is advisable that your children should know when they are likely to hurt the
dog. Tell them to be cautious while climbing stairs, tell them not to step on
them and not to scream in front of them as they are sound sensitive. Loud
noises can hurt its ears. Sometimes hugging can alsnnoy the dog. Gestures like
pinching, tugging ears or tails can be annoying,
It is important to choose the right
breed of pet especially dogs and cats to
stay with your family. While training
your pet, educate your children how to behave them. During this time ,your
child also learns certain character traits which are otherwise needed in their
daily lives. Encourage your child to bond with them as dogs are believed to be
man’s best friend.
