How to make your child feel more responsible for the care of pet dogs?
What steps should you take to encourage your child to take better care of your pet dog? Simply handing over the responsibility of caring for the pet and expecting the child to carry it out is not wise. Rather, you should come up with ideas and innovative approaches that will help your child better understand responsibilities.
If you have more than one child in the house, you can easily create a competition where the child has to take good care of the pet dog. If the child is well cared for, you can give out rewards or prizes. It could be something as simple as extra privileges at dinner or the freedom to watch TV longer.
Of course, don’t make it too competitive because you don’t want the child to start hating the idea of taking care of the pet because of the frequent losses. You can come up with various indicators and norms that must be followed in order to properly care for the dog. From the appearance of the dog to the feeding time – you can take into account all these points.
The biggest advantage of such an approach is that the child will learn how to properly care for the pet without even realizing it. With privileges at stake and even extra pocket money available, the child will go the extra mile to learn more about the pet.
The child will spend more time with the pet and complete all other tasks on time so that the task of caring for the pet does not fall behind. You just need to take precautions to make sure there isn’t a big difference in the level of care for the pet. If the pet is treated like a king on the first day and is treated like a servant on the second day by the other child, this will obviously cause problems.
The main idea is to ensure that the dog is properly cared for. If this is not done, the whole exercise becomes futile. If you don’t have more than one child in the house, you can serve as the other participant.
You can purposefully lose a few days so that the child remains enthusiastic about the whole thing. Over time, you will look back fondly on this innovative measure and realize how well it helped your child take better care of the pet dog.
