I have pets at home but its not my daugthers pet they are my pets and my daughter plays with them. I like it because she can interact with my cats and my cats interact with them at least she interacts and plays with a living thing.

As cute as the scenario may look like, the children's attention might shift to another matter and leave the pet's concern open resulting to possible chaos in the room. :) Not in the classroom.

At an early age, I learned how to take care of my pet and have responsible pet owndership. This also in turn, i think helped me become more compassionate with others and be more caring. But I guess it also depends on how the parents will guide their kids in raising a pet, they will after all provide the seeds of learning that a child can build foundation on.

I did not think of the turtle issue until you brought it up…I guess I should google that! My only qualm about fish is that they can’t handle them…but yes, they are indeed a good compromise. Hi Leng,

Thank you for your comment. I did not think of the turtle issue until you brought it up…I guess I should google that! My only qualm about fish is that they can’t handle them…but yes, they are indeed a good compromise.

I wouldn't mind having a pair of rabbits again to take care of.. :) I think rabbits are great pets for the kids.. usually that’s what is easy for them to handle… I wouldn’t mind having a pair of rabbits again to take care of.. :)
