▶ Your Answer :
Some people do not think it is a good idea to allow their children to have pets because of the time and money must invest in caring for them. On the other hand, I am convinced that it is desirable to let children pets. There are two reasons why I feel this way. One reason for my argument is that pet teach children how to be responsible. the other reason is that it helps children to develop a sense of empathy.
First of all, giving children a pet when they are young makes foundation from which they will learn the importance of responsibility in the future. They will start to understand at a young age that their actions affect every aspect of amimal`s life. A child has to understand that, just like them, pets need to eat meal daily. Also, child need to clean place messed up by pets and wash their body regularly. All of these things help the children to understand that their pet is dependent on them, and that they sometime have to make some sacrifeces in order to take care of their pet.
Second, rasing a pet helps to develop a sense of empathy. Nowadays, many children use machine with amazing technology. so many children are awkward to sympathsize other people. However,if children raise a pet at a young age, they can spend a lot of time taking care of pets. Even though, there is a dumb animal, children can communicate with their animal. which experience could be a good stepping stone from which they will understand situation of other peolpe in the future.
In conclusion, I strongly agree that it is valuable to let children pets. This is because giving children a pet when they are young teach children how to be responsible and also helps to enhance a empathy skills.
