We like to call our pets “baby”, “son” and “cub”, which shows that we really love them. In recent years, there have been rumors on social media that pets also occupy the palace of children. In crape Myrtle, the House of Children includes pets, and pets are the sixth house in the Western horoscope. Metaphysical or not, why do we become parents when it comes to our pets?
In effect, people assume the role of parents when they assume financial, physical, and emotional responsibility for vulnerable creatures in the family.
At the same time, just as each parent has a different way of educating their children, each official also has a different way of raising children. Some owners dote on “children”, every day online shopping for a variety of pet toys; Some owners do not pay much attention to “children” and are indifferent to the needs of pets such as pettiness and Shouting; Some owners prefer violent parenting, punching and kicking their disobedient pets.
Four ways to raise children across species
Permissive parenting These “parents” usually do not ignore their children’s physical needs, but rather indulge them without restraint. Young children can become obese due to excessive snack intake, jump on the bed and table at will, or defecate throughout the house. Excessive freedom will make the child lack respect for boundaries and self-restraint ability, easy to unconsciously scratch the master or others.
Authoritarian, intimidating parenting. They’re most likely to hit their kids. Such “parents” demand obedience, enact harsh punishments and discipline, and give little thought to fostering relationships, positive emotions, or voluntary cooperation. Although the child may be compliant in the short term, the long-term results are not optimistic, and it is easy to make the child suffer from chronic stress, anxiety, rebellion, or unresponsiveness.
Authoritative parenting Authoritative “parents” provide serious physical care, passionate affection, clear guidance, age-appropriate challenges, plenty of positive encouragement, and boundaries to accommodate each child’s needs. Discipline is limited, rarely punished, and allows for appropriate consequences.
Children who grow up this way can reach their full potential, often feel more secure, and grow into their most relaxed, confident, and socially capable selves, regardless of their inner abilities.
When people take care of cats and dogs, the same responsibility falls on their shoulders as taking care of children. People show different ways of raising children, and these ways may be learned from their parents’ upbringing, and they pass the joys and sorrows of the original family to the children; Perhaps it is a form of education caused by excessive pressure in life and accumulation of negative emotions, so that people do not care about the feelings of pets; Perhaps it is a suitable way to raise children after learning and studying.
For better or worse, a relationship with a furry child is an opportunity for humans. A chance to broaden your knowledge, a chance for someone without children to work as a trainee caregiver, a chance to reconcile or get to know your parents better.
I hope that every child can get more love and love others more.
Love is not a court, and every word and action must be recorded and used to convict. Love is kind negligence.
