21、Teaching Kids Pet Care
Growing up with a family pet can be a wonderful experience for children. 【1】 It teaches responsibility, reduce the risk of allergies and encourage exercise according to the recent research. But how to manage children and pets properly, Veterinarian Dr Warren shares her top tips.
Make some basic ground rules before bringing home a new pet. 【2】Besides, ask your children to answer some basic questions about what will be involved in looking after the pet.
Always supervise young children and pets, and if you can’t supervise then be sure to separate them. Never leave a young child unsupervised with any pet, even when it’s your own well-loved and trusted dog. 【3】
【4】 Children should not be allowed to pick up their pet unless under supervision. When patting or playing with pets, be sure children are always sitting on the floor, not wandering around holding the pet. Letting go of a pet rather than forcing them to do something reluctantly is a must.
Teach kids how to help everyday pet care. Younger children can help fill the water bowl. 【5】This is a great way to teach lessons in basic pet hygiene by reminding them to wash their hands after handling their pet.
Encourage trips to the vet, where children will learn more about animal health and the responsibility of caring for a pet. More interestingly, enroll a new puppy into puppy classes can help pets learn good manners.
A.Warn kids that pets are not toys.
B.Teach kids to make friends with pets.
C.While older ones can take care of feeding or changing the litter tray.
D.And also pet care can be beneficial for childhood development and health.
E.The experience will have a life-long influence on children’s mental health.
F.Meanwhile, read some age-appropriate books about the type of pet you are getting.
G.Dog bites to children are mostly caused by their own dog or the dog of a friend or neighbor.
22、It’s not easy being a teenager —— nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead,let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time,remind him that you’re always there for him if he should seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for l5 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.
