Dogs Can Reduce Children's Loneliness
Labrador Retriever (detailed introduction)
Empty nest elderly and left-behind children are now very common phenomena. Because many parents are busy with work, the time spent with their children is very limited. When children cannot communicate with their parents for a long time, they inevitably feel some loneliness mentally. Over time, children become silent and not good at communicating with others. Raising dogs can help alleviate this problem to some extent.
1. Mutual Care
During playing with puppies, in the mutual care and sharing, children can experience the giving and receiving of love between themselves and pets, which is an important experience after establishing a close relationship with pets.
2. Increased Self-confidence
Pets do not care about children's school grades or whether they have done something wrong or misbehaved. No matter what setbacks children face, pets give unconditional attention, helping them gain confidence. At this time, dogs can be said to be a companion with whom they can fully open their hearts, and through playing with them, children gradually forget their loneliness and feel fulfilled.
3. Dogs Are Reliable Companions
If children rarely have contact with their parents, they inevitably lack someone to confide in. Dogs can well serve as their listeners and accept unconditionally, so children will not hide their thoughts completely and can be said to have found a good way to express their feelings.
4. Improved Social Skills
At home, dogs can be very good social partners. Children's social skills can be well exercised, and children will have topics to talk about with others because of their pets, sharing the joy together. In addition, compared to children, small animals are more vulnerable and need care. Children who often take care of small animals are more likely to pay attention to and help vulnerable groups and show compassion, love, and responsibility.
