Some people believe that all children should have a pet or an animal to look after. Other people disagree, however, saying that this depends on a child’s circumstances. Discuss and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, many hold the view that all youngsters should own a

pet

so that they can learn while they are taking care of the

pet

. At the same

,

however

, there is a body of opinion

which

holds that

such

necessity may vary because each child’s circumstances are different. In

this

essay, I will examine both sides of the debate to seek a conclusion.

To begin

with,

children

can cultivate a sense of responsibility while they are looking after the

pet

. A recent study at Harvard University reveals that people who need to take care of either a

pet

or a younger sibling in their childhood have better leadership skills than their peer group and have a significantly higher level of income.

In addition

, through spending

time

with their own

pets

,

children

can develop better

time

management skills as they need to spare some

time

to take care of the

pet

.

Moreover

, what they can learn from looking after the

pet

is much wider than what they can learn from the textbooks, and

this

can be an asset to not only their personal development but

also

their career development in the future.

university.

On the other hand

, not all

children

are suitable to have

pets

because some may be allergic to the animals, and

this

problem may lead to severe illness in

children

.

Also

, as the living space nowadays has become more and more overcrowded, particularly for the people living in the cities, it is not feasible and even inhuman to have

pets

.

Furthermore

, if people are encouraged to have

pets

in childhood, the growth in population will decrease, because humans may prefer to getting a

pet

rather than having a baby.

Therefore

, it will hinder economic growth and cause server social problems in the long run. To summarize, there is no doubt that

children

having their own

pets

can help develop better

time

management skills and a stronger sense of responsibility. At the same

time

,

however

, it brings about some issues,

such

as different varieties of health problems and negative impact on the economic growth for the nation in the long term. In the final analysis,

, one can conclude that
