Some people think that keeping pets is good for children while others think it is dangerous and unhealthy for them.

While some people prefer to keep their

children

at a distance from

pets

because of health and safety reasons, others choose to do just the opposite. In

this

essay, I would like to argue that

pets

are actually good for the overall well-being of

children

for some obvious reasons. The

first

reason, of course, is that

pets

provide

children

with comfort and company, especially when nobody else is accompanying them. But, even when somebody is accompanying them, heir still feels a sense of comfort in the company of their treasure, mainly because those treasures are usually more “passive” and “loyal” than other humans. And

that is

exactly probably why, as some researchers have found, a very significant percentage of parents allow their youngsters to have

pets

.

Pets

also

help young offspring with learning. In fact, we often can see offspring, who

otherwise

do not like to read, lying on their beds and reading to their dogs or cats and showing them pictures. The juniors even ask questions about their

pets

to see if they - the treasure, are actually paying enough attention to the readings.

In other words

, the little ones actually learn important and fun things in a pleasant environment while petting their cats and dogs.

Besides

, researchers have

also

monitored that the stress level of the kids goes significantly down when they are with their

pets

.

Finally

, some researchers have

also

found that having

pets

can reduce a child’s risk of developing certain common allergies.

Such

research showed that

children

, who had animals, had fewer positive skin tests for indoor allergens - like

pet and dust-mite allergens, and

outdoor allergens

such

as ragweed and grass, compared to those juniors who did not live with

pets
