It can; it is a big responsibility to take care of another creature. The parents, however, must be prepared to enforce the thought that the responsibility is the child's. If the parents take over caring for the dog, the child may never take the responsibility for it, and may learn nothing. This outcome, unfortunately, is far too common; the child stops taking care of the dog, and the parents pick up the slack. This only teaches the child that the parents will rescue him when life becomes harder than the Chile likes.

There are some things that a child should not be expected to handle, of course: scheduling and paying for veterinary care, and paying for food, for instance, may be more than he is able to handle at that age.

What can children learn from having pets?

No necessarily. It is still the parents' job to teach responsibility by letting the child totally care for the pet (As practical) and never 'give in' and start taking the responsibility away from her because it is easier. If she will not care for the pet (as soon as the new-ness wears off . . . ), then you should have plans to adopt the pet out, if it's that sort of pet.


How does a dog change your family?

A dog can change family dynamics in many ways. There are new responsibilities that now need to be shared between family members. This can be a great way to teach responsibility to young children, seeing as how they will want to take care of their dog in most cases. However, there are the unwanted tasks of cleaning dog poop, and vomit off the carpet, which may lead to small fights.
