Some people think that having children look after pets is the best method to teach them responsibility. while other people think that differently. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views, If I have to choose one, I would say that looking after a pet can not be the best way for kids to raise responsibility. There are several reasons as examples as follow. First of all, taking care of a pet is too difficult for young children. They do not know how to care for animals properly. Because they lack experience and knowledge for animal. Therefore, having a pet can be a stressful and confusing experience for children. For example, when I was a elementary school student, my father bought me a dog. And he said that I had to take care of the dog. The problem is that I was not sure if the way I took care of the dog is a right way or not. So I thought that my dog will like a chocolate like me and I gave my dog chocolate. Unfortunately, my dog eventually died after he ate chocolate. I was very shocked by that event and the occurrence did not teach me responsibility. On top of that, there are better ways to teach children responsibility that do not involve hardship. Many animals raised as pets can carry diseases that can be harmful for human. This means that children can be infected by that diseases through contact with their pets. For instance, having children do house chores is more effective way to teach the m responsibility. Because doing house chores does not require high levels of knowledge and If children have a problem, I can ask help for their parents. Moreover, as they do distributed house chores, they will be know about parent’s burden. In brief, I firmly believe that the disadvantages of caring for pets far weight its advantages for the reasons I mentioned before. All in all, the importance of safer method cannot be underestimated in procedure where children learn responsibility.
