Having an animal in the house is a big responsibility, and not just a joy for the baby.

Therefore, the task of parents is to properly prepare the child for the arrival of a pet, teach him to get along with it and take care of it.

If the child is too small, it is enough to get fish. After all, at this age, children can still perceive a living creature as a toy.

Fish are safe, beautiful, and you can also teach your child to care for the aquarium and feed such pets.

If the baby is already older than 6-7 years old, then he will be interested in an animal that he can play with.

At this age, a child can be trusted with a cat or a dog, which are easy to train. But you still can't do without the help of adults.

Any pet is suitable for a teenager.

If the child is over 11 years old, he can choose the animal himself and take full responsibility for its well-being and mood.

In addition, the appearance of a four-legged friend will have a positive effect on his mood, as well as on punctuality and responsibility.
