How 4 bunnies changed my little daughter for good

My Daughter and Her Four Cute Bunnies

One interesting consideration on rabbits as pets is it could help children to manage their emotions by keeping them. I had experience it myself with my kid, a daughter.

My daughter is a cheerful, very active kid – for not to mention hyperactive – but had a bit difficulty to manage her emotions especially when what she wanted could not be fulfilled immediately. Often less tolerant to others, especially to her sister, and parents. Wake-up call just before school routinely becomes morning disaster, hardly to get her to go to the bathroom and be ready for school bus.
Nevertheless, that was before she had 4 young pet rabbits. Just within a week or two, her behavior suddenly and drastically changed, she became more caring and affection to other peoples. It was like a miracle to me… wow!

Naturally, she love animals, many kind of them. Initially she asked to keep a green Brazilian turtle. But what so great about them, we can’t play with them interactively, and they are just too quite :) I thought so. Then I bought her 4 young rabbits – white, black, brown and grey – because I owned and liked to play with rabbits when I was a kid, thought it should be fun too for her.
Every morning she easily woke up with a happy face. First thing she goes to see when back from school were her loving rabbits. Took care and feed them with great enthusiasms.

In short, keeping rabbits could be very useful for kids. They can learn to take care of their loving pets that depend on them, and be responsible. Balance emotions and learn to give tolerances to other and to love – pets and humans. In addition, least important is… rabbits are fun and playful.
At least based on my personal experience :)
