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. Consider these opposing views, and give your own opinion.

Some individual suggests that having an animal as a companion is beneficial for younger

kids

to develop their skills.

In contrast

to that, others argue that it is a personal preference of each individual.

This

essay will discuss the debate and give a concluding view. As it appears, having a

pet

has many positive effects on children.

Furthermore

, many believe that

kids

develop the qualities

such

as kindness, compassion and love towards others when they have a

pet

animal. As well as, they tend to build a unique bond with their

pets

and

this

lead to a beautiful childhood memory that they can cherish as they grow old. As an example, differently-abled

kids

get enormous emotional support from their furry friends.

In addition

, they learn about the importance of sharing and caring where they enhance their soft skills, self-esteem, and cognitive development.

Moreover

, parents should monitor their kid's behaviour with

pets

and they should teach them that

pets

also

have a personality and they should be gentle with them.

However

, caring for

pets

is not every kid's choice, because many do not prefer to have a

pet

and some of them are afraid of animals.

For instance

, there are

kids

who are afraid of dogs and some do not like cats.

Furthermore

, some

pet

keepers do not care for their

pets

properly and if we consider

this

from the

pet

's point of view, it can be considered animal cruelty. In conclusion, it appears that despite of keeping a

pet

based on the common view should not be encouraged and the choice should be made on personal preference and capabilities.
