We hear that there are many positive effects on the emotional and social development of children growing up with animals. It has become a situation that attracts the most attention from parents, but I cannot help but underline once again that you should take care of them without forgetting that they are a life that gets used to you over time, and not leave them alone after a while. Because this is violence against the emotionally possessed animal; It may also have undesirable effects on children's development. We can observe positive effects on the personal development and communication skills of children who grow up with animals and who are not taken on a whim. As occupational therapists, we care about children being active, productive, self-confident, mobile and able to independently perform the skills required by their age. Perhaps this is something we attach great importance to, as all these activities will support brain development by activating the sensory system and help children feel more individual and independent in daily life...
Being in contact with animals is much more important than we think. It provides more. There is very valuable information we have heard about "why should a child grow up with an animal", but in this article we will talk about things you have not heard.
The immune systems of babies growing up with our dear friends cats and dogs Do you know that he is stronger than other children?
I am aware that this is a situation that worries you, dear parents, especially. However, a study conducted in America provides important data to put an end to these concerns. In this experiment, which was carried out by taking house dust, some houses had no cats, some had no dogs, and some had no pets. When the results were analyzed, it was revealed that there was much less bacteria in a home without pets, and babies growing up in this home were more likely to suffer from diseases such as asthma, which negatively affect the immune system in childhood. On the contrary, although it is not as effective as dogs and cats, in homes where there are cats, the baby is exposed to a much greater variety of bacteria and the baby can produce enough antibodies, so the body is not affected by this situation. becomes able to cope and is protected from catching asthma. Thus, it is possible to say that pets are protective and provide protection from these microbes. I believe that we can now look at the most feared cause in Turkish society with a scientific explanation. So let's see what happens when you decide to make a little friend a member of your family.
Did you know that animals are very important for sensory development?
Sensory stimulation is very important for us to understand, discover, experience and learn what is going on in our world, we know this. If you don't have sensory integrity, you don't exist either.
Every pet has important effects on the baby/child, but the individual who befriends the cat/dog will witness a creature that can visually act differently than humans. He/she will hear how you communicate (meow/bark) when asking for food. By touching it, he will feel how soft and warm it is. He will share his water, realize that his food is running out and take responsibility for himself by filling it with food. The child who bonds with his friend will be able to understand his friend's needs. He will imitate. Most of the time, it will be indispensable for the times you spend with your family. They will jump, run and jump together. You will enjoy acting and doing mischief with your best friend so much that at the end of it all, you will have very nice memories. Since this entire process forms the basis of development, it will be inevitable to lay a positive foundation for psychological, mental and physical development.
For children growing up with animals:
<
The immune system becomes stronger than other children.
The development of the sensory system increases.
Their self-esteem and self-confidence increase.
Social skills develop positively.
Empathy development is supported.
Family relationships are strengthened.
The sense of responsibility is developing.
As we come to the end of the text, I remember the thought of "the luckiest ones are the children growing up in the villages". If you share; We are definitely not weird. We are so right. Unfortunately, children who have the chance to do this whole period of discovery in natural life, without a limited area, are things we witness very rarely today... Feeding the chicken in the coop, giving hay to the cow in the barn, or explaining that we benefit from its milk have now become among the things that are taught by imagining it on game cards.
Isn't it sad?
