Pet for a preschooler: what kind of animal to have in a house with a small child - the best options
Parents of young children often wonder how to raise their children to be more responsible and loving.
And this is exactly where a pet can help.
However, the main difficulty lies in the age of the baby: the younger he is, the more difficult it is for him to take care of a living creature himself.
Let's figure out which pet options are best for kids.
Ideal Pets for a 3 Year Old
Aquarium fish are rightfully considered the first pet that can be acquired for a three-year-old.
A child will not be able to inadvertently harm a living creature, and caring for them can be turned into a family ritual.
For example, parents and their child can feed the fish before leaving for kindergarten and feed them again upon returning from kindergarten.
If tactile sensations are important, then you can get a cat. For a dog at this age, it is still too early, since you need to walk it.
It's too early for a hamster too: the animal is too small, and a child can accidentally hurt it. If we're talking about rodents, then it's better to turn to rabbits or guinea pigs.
Earlier we wrote about which small pets are best for busy people.
