Hello, dear subscribers of my channel.

Today we will continue to consider the issues related to the presence of pets in the family and will consider the issues of their behaviour and influence on family life.

Pets have a lot of attractive features and characteristics: almost all people recognize them as cute, playful, carrying a powerful charge of positive and positive energy creatures that you want to hold in your arms and hug. If we draw an analogy between their behaviour and the behaviour of children, we can find obvious similarities. And these behavioural qualities are not the only ones that are inherent to both animals and children. They also have a lot of almost identical psychological traits, and this fact can be a good help in raising children.

Rehearsal of their future parenting behaviour is often done by young couples with the help of pets - they can take a puppy or kitten to raise him, take care of him and take care of him. This preparation for life with your future child allows you to notice all your mistakes and mistakes, which will allow you to successfully avoid and avoid them in communication with your children.

The well-known expression that pets are always like their owners is hardly a lie. Having recognized the person as the main, the animal immediately begins to adapt his character traits. So if a person observes any shortcomings in the behaviour of the pet, it is possible that these shortcomings originally belonged to him. In this respect, a cat or puppy may act as some kind of behavioural mirror, allowing the owner to see himself from the outside.

Something similar happens to children. Whatever their upbringing, whatever words they are told, children always want to imitate their parents and copy their behaviour. And all this leads to the conclusion that getting rid of the negative traits of the character, in the first place, will be an adult, as specifically on him will depend on the behaviour, development and life of his child (and pet).

Pets - on an equal footing with children - can feel the family atmosphere, and their character traits are born in direct dependence on the relationship of adults with each other. If the situation in the psychological life of the family is normal, and the conditions for development are favourable, they are laid such qualities as calmness, friendliness, balance and so on. But if there are any problems in the family, the pet is unlikely to behave quietly, peacefully, obediently, he will not listen to his masters, will spoil things, and it will be almost impossible to make things better with him. Unless, of course, cardinally rethink the style of relationship with a partner. It is worth noting that with such an alarming behaviour of the pet, in the presence of problems in the psychological climate of the family, parents run the risk of facing similar problems and the appearance of the baby in the house.

Interestingly, the fact that the change of owners in the animal may change behaviour. Just like the behaviour of children is strongly dependent on those adults, near whom they are at the moment. This once again confirms the idea of a close psychological connection between children and parents, animals and their owners and the great similarity in the principles of behaviour of children and pets.

Pets, again, like children, love to test their owners psychologically. Often it happens that they do not do well, knowing that the owner is not happy at all. But how exactly will he react? Studying his reaction to this or that action is the main goal of both the animal and the child. Both seek to know the limits of acceptable behaviour for them, exhibited for them by others. And they persistently show the desire to seize power over the man, and in this regard, both animals and children can perform the same actions over and over again, until they receive a confident confirmation of the reaction of an adult or the host. In such situations, the hosts (parents) should show firmness, patience and consistency in their reactions and behaviour. After all, as soon as a child or pet pierces a crack in the strategy of adults, he will not give up the probability of influencing it even more and expand it.

Kittens and puppies are the best "fitness equipment" for adult educators because they are highly developed and have emotions, just like humans. Reptiles and insects are quite different. They are unlikely to become a good assistant in the development of a dominant educator, because the ability to attach themselves and love they do not have.

Thus, pets and small children are very similar. And their happiness will depend on the efforts of adults invested in their upbringing.

Happiness and kindness to you!
