However, what parents may not realize is that adding a pet to the family can be good for the children. While little children are too young to worry about preventing stress or lowering high blood pressure, they can experience a lot of benefits from having a family pet. Pets, whether a dog, a cat, a bird, or fish, help children gain a sense of independence that can set them on the path to becoming mature, responsible adults.Children can also learn the importance of responsibility at an early age by caring for a pet. Fish are a terrific first pet because children can play a large role in caring for them. However, other pets that require more attention, such as cats or dogs, can present an ideal opportunity for a parent and child to bond while caring for the pet together. Showing children what it means to be responsible for an animal can result in teaching important life lessons, such as discipline, patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Walking the dog, feeding the cat, or talking to the parrot can serve as fun study breaks for kids, and a replacement for television programs and video games. These pet-related activities help children remain focused on the task at hand, and are less likely to become distractions that will prevent children from completing their chores and homework. Pets don’t really distract children from doing their homework.

The program has three parts.1Placement in a Partner Program — Partner Programs are volunteer programs that are designed to help people in many different countries. For example, volunteers may educate young children or help older people with certain tasks. Before the volunteer leaves for a certain country, he or she is placed in a Partner Program. Which program will the volunteer be placed in? It depends on the person’s interests and abilities. The volunteer describes these in a survey and talks by phone with a program manager several times. The manager will talk about possible programs and help the person make a decision about the best program for him or her.2Perspectives Planning — This part helps each volunteer learn about the culture and customs of the country where he or she is going. The learning begins before the volunteer leaves and continues throughout the experience. Volunteers receive information about the history and culture of the country, have an orientation, and participate in special events, such as holiday celebrations and festivals, to teach them about the culture.3Free Time — Volunteers have free time most evenings and every weekend. They can travel to different parts of the country or stay home and learn more about the area where they live. Volunteers receive information about the history and culture of the country where they are going and have an orientation.
