There are many things that we may consider to be special in life. We might appreciate the beauty of the sunset or perhaps the feeling of an ocean breeze on our skin. Something else that we may appreciate, and often puts a smile on our face is seeing the interaction between little children and animals. There is just something about it that makes the entire event special. Perhaps it is a nostalgic feeling that we get when we see it or maybe, it’s the fact that we know the child is benefiting from it.
I’m sure that most of us would say that is good for young children and animals to be together. Therefore, you might not be surprised to learn that studies have shown the benefits of the interaction are not only easy to recognize, they are scientifically proven. Some of those studies even show that children who are raised with animals are more likely to love and be comfortable around animals as adults. Perhaps this is one of the gifts that you can give to your child but you will get something in return. You will get memories, including the possibility of seeing something like we see in the images below.
