5 ways to encourage your child to care for pets responsibly
Involving children in pet care cultivates responsibility, empathy and self-discipline, benefiting both the animals and the children's emotional growth. By assigning age-appropriate tasks, modelling responsible behaviour and connecting pet care to daily routines, parents can instil lasting habits. Positive reinforcement and explaining the 'why' behind pet needs further motivates children to embrace their roles.
