Kids who grow up with pets usually have an earlier and better understanding of responsibilities as well as the cycle of life than kids who grow up without any pets in the household. Pets can also teach kids an understanding of unconditional love and provide emotional support.
That's exactly why TikToker Bruna decided to adopt a kitten and gift it to her daughter Natalie, so they can grow up together and become best buddies, as you can see in this video posted on September 21.
These two are unseparable.
The connection between a child and a pet can be incredibly special and filled with love and joy.
As you may know, toddlers are naturally curious, and kittens are playful and intriguing creatures. Their curiosity often draws them toward each other, creating an initial interest.
They do everything together, such as sharing a bed and watching TV, and Natalie even feeds the kitten its meals.
This is so adorable.
Although toddlers are still learning how to interact with the world around them, they often display a surprising level of gentleness when handling a small, delicate kitten. This gentle touch can help build trust between the two.
Look at how Natalie holds the kitten in her arms, like it's her very own baby.
Both children and pets offer unconditional love and acceptance. This creates a bond built on trust and affection as they become playmates and confidants, which can be especially important for toddlers who are still developing social skills.
And let's face it, pets, including kittens, provide wonderful companionship and comfort to children.
That being said, interactions with pets can contribute positively to a child's emotional development. They learn empathy, responsibility, and how to care for another living being.
So if you're hesitant to adopt a pet for your child, certainly consider it. This can also help reduce pet allergies, as some studies suggest that exposure to pets early in life can reduce the risk of developing allergies and asthma. It's believed that exposure to pet dander and other allergens can help build a child's immune system.
