Teach Your Children About Dogs
In my opinion, all children should be educated about dogs and shown how to behave properly around them. Even if the parents are afraid of dogs, I think they owe it to their children to ensure they don’t grow up in the same way with the same fear.
Not only is this for their own safety, such as learning not to run up to a dog and try to grab or stroke them (especially without asking the owner’s permission), but also so they learn about caring for animals. Even if a parent doesn’t want to get a pet for the child, it is so important that they learn about animals and how to look after them. Having pets is great for children, it gives them a companion and friend they can talk to and love and reduces stress – which children suffer from as much as adults – but naturally it isn’t always possible in every family. There are other ways they can learn, such as going to pet farms or visiting the RSPCA or friends animals.
