Abstract: (5 Views)
International organizations report that nearly half of households in developing countries own at least one pet. Pets often function as family members for children, providing affection, companionship, and emotional security. Research indicates that children develop deep emotional attachments to their pets, and these bonds, expressed through affection and proximity, can resemble secure human attachment [1]. For children, interactions with pets offer numerous benefits, including better physical health, increased physical activity, reduced parental concerns regarding temperament, behavior, and learning abilities, and improved emotional regulation [2].
