My children were both raised with pets, so they know how to treat them. My 3yo is wonderful with Percy. He treats him like a little baby brother (which he is) Percy is just 5lbs so they know they have to be careful and very gentle. Which they are.
Percy loves them. They will sit and play with him and rub his belly. He loves the attention! The only problem we have is when friends come over, we usually gate him as they don't always understand Percy needs to get to know them first before they can just reach out and pet him. Also, sometimes if the kids get a little loud he gets jumpy, but he just goes in our room and hides. |
