Nevertheless, they treat animals much deeper and more difficult than adults can imagine.
According to the results of surveys conducted by British scientists, 95% of children consider pets to be among the 10 most important components of their lives. A large group of children of primary school age from 7 to 10 years of age think that a dog or cat is often more important to them than their relatives or teachers! There is even such a negative trend, when single children in their families believe that not only teachers, but also mothers and fathers are more important for them than cats and dogs. There are still only a few kids like that, because... Moms and dads still occupy the most important place in a child's life, and moms are in the first place in this list, and dads are in the second place. For example, seven-year-old children in England, who can already formulate their thoughts, believe that the dog is the best advocate in the family.
