Honest confession. I am pretty scared of animals, including pets. So, I have never considered
owning a pet. However, one of my friends is a pet mother to a cute little pug and she says
that it’s the best addition to her family. Whenever my daughter visits their home, she
spends hours playing with the dog. I have been debating bringing home a pet for some time
now after considering these advantages:
Pets Make a Great Companion
Pets are like siblings and friends. They offer warmth, comfort and companionship to your
children. They give unconditional love. If you have only one child and you think s/he could
do with some camaraderie, then pets are an awesome option.
Pets Teach Responsibility
Caring for pets is akin to caring for a baby. Like humans, pets also need tender love and
care. You need to feed them, bathe them, take them out for a walk, look after them when
they are sick, and so on. You can assign a few of the responsibilities to your children. This
will make them realize they are responsible for someone’s life and health, and teach them
the importance of responsibility.
Pets Keep Your Kids Healthy
Pets like to be on move most of the time. They run around a lot, which could be a good
exercise for your kids during their playtime. Various studies have shown that families with
pets are physically active and have lesser health issues in their lifetime.
Pets Help Kids with Expression of Emotions
Pets are very quick to sense emotions. They can act as an outlet for your children to express
their emotions like fear and anger. Children can confide their feelings and secrets in their
pets, and feel lighter. This prevents anxiety build-up due to suppression of emotions.
Pets are Good Therapists
Animal therapy is known to work wonders for children’s physical and mental health. If your
child is suffering from autism, trauma or any other kind of health issue, pets can be
therapeutic for them.
Pets definitely seem to make life fun for kids. Who knows I might eventually give in and
welcome a furry member in my family?

Here are some sample reviews from parents, to help you to share your own experiences:
Best classes for mathematics in Erandwane/Kothrud area. Limited kids per batch and give personal attention. We had a very good experience. My daughter is happy with teaching by ***** teacher.
Very engaging and fun filled sessions for the kids .My 8 year old throughly enjoyed all the sessions. Kids get a platform to express their views on various topics. Suggestion is to make this workshop extended from 1 month to 2 months or more.
My child has made excellent growth. The teacher gives attention to every child adequately and my child is very eager to attend the classes. And the teacher also has excellent skills in art.
We have seen ***** school growing from a pretty new school to a developed school in last four years. They focus lot on academics, extra curricular actives and lot more. They embed a lot of fun activities with academics which makes kids picks the basics as well as advance topics pretty well. Teachers are attentive and they provide a very elaborated feedback about the child on quarterly basis. In short it's fairly a good option for kids for their overall growth.
Highly mismanaged branch of *****. Poor planning. No proper communication with parents. Teacher retention is very low. Good teachers gets transferred to other centres. In past 3-4 years 3 principal changed. Everything they do is for name sake. Workshops/ seminars are more of a sales pitches. 10% return of value for your money.

Pets are great no doubt. But if I bring pet at home, I will have another responsibility on my head….Family members will play but feeding, pooping, vaccination I will have to take care of. So I avoid it getting one for my home.
I love dogs. My parents have a Labrador. I want to get it too but with a hyperactive toddler to look after, I don’t think I have time and guts to care for a pet as well.
My neighbour has feline pets. The kids in our family love them.
