Animals & Children

Children see animals as their equals and don't make any kind of separation between what is human nature and animal nature. 

 

Benefits for Children

1. Emotional Development: 

Animals provide unconditional love and companionship, helping children develop empathy, compassion, and social skills by understanding an animal's needs and feelings. 

​

2. Social-Emotional Growth: 

Interacting with animals can boost a child's confidence and self-esteem and provide a safe, non-judgmental confidante for feelings. 

​​

3. Physical Activity: 

Spending time with animals encourages children to be more active, promoting outdoor play and a healthy lifestyle. 

​

4. Educational & Therapeutic Value: 

Animals can enhance learning in educational settings and offer therapeutic benefits for children with special needs or emotional challenges. 

​

5. Responsibility: 

Caring for animals teaches children responsibility, time management, and routine, such as feeding, grooming, and exercise.
