From that experience, I recommend that parents let children have pets. Caring for pets teaches children responsibility. For example, they must feed the pet, take it for a walk, and clean it. It teaches them how to be gentle with all kinds of animals and how important it is to care for all living beings. They learn there are no differences between animals and humans.
Pets also help children to relax and be calm, and they make children smile.
I am always happy when I see children with pets because I know they are learning how to care and love.
