Pets Can Make Difficult Conversations with Kids Easier
How Pets Can Help with Difficult Conversations with Kids
The pets in our lives bring us much joy. They teach us unconditional love and can lighten up some very tough times with their presence. They make us laugh and bring us comfort. Pets give us the opportunity to focus on nonverbal communication which can pull us into a deeper level of awareness. Pets and children share a special bond. Most children love animals. You can almost always get a conversation going with a child about their favorite animal. I believe pets can help overcome some challenges in communicating with children.
