Educational role of a pet

Poznato je da kućni ljubimci pozitivno utječu na djecu i na ljude razne dobi. Briga o kućnom ljubimcu uči dijete odgovornosti i pomaže mu da stekne samopouzdanje. Isto tako preko svog kućnog ljubimca djeca su više povezana s prirodom i kroz odnos s kućnim ljubimcem uče o poštivanju drugih bića. Cilj diplomskoga rada je prezentirati na koje sve načine kućni ljubimac može utjecati na razvoj i odgoj djece te istražiti kako možemo djecu upoznati s kućnim ljubimcima i njihovom ulogom u životu čovjeka.It's known that pets have a positive influence on children and people of all ages.
