How can you drum it in to them that it's wrong? Was so tempted to chuck pebbles back at him to show him how it feels but he's only 3.Why are some children horrible to pets?I agree that kids do this out of a need for control, so putting him in charge in a positive way would probably help. If he still continues to abuse the animal, just switch up the golden rule to fit your stiuation. "If you can't do something nice, then don't do anything at all" and no longer allow the kids to be by the puppy till they can think of nicer ways to play with him. This would be the nice approch, it depends on how the kids react. I had some problems similar and it seemed like nothing worked except me being a ***** to say the least.
My bfs 5 year old used to tease the dogs by holding food in front of them and then laughing at them as she stuffed her face. She also used to think it was funny to zip the cat up in the suit case. Well, I tried talking to her and it didn't work. So one day I treatened to zip her in a suit case, where I explained it was dark and she wouldn't be able to move, and she never did it to the cat again. ( though I got lucky because that was a big bluff, I could never really do that). And as for the dogs, I served her favorite dinner one day and held her food above her head telling her how good it smelled and then sent her to the other room with a P%26amp;J sandwich. Some people might think those tactics were mean, but if she can't understand through words then she might just need to know how it feels. myself and my family do not tolorate any kind of abuse towards animal. I wouldn't advise throwing things at him, but you could tell him that it hurts and if you catch him again you just might do it.Why are some children horrible to pets?
When it comes to pets, the kids need just as much training as the animal.
Instead of focusing on how the puppy "feels" tell the boys that it's very dangerous - the dog could bite them in self-defense. Have a talk with their mom and keep everyone separate for awhile. Good luck!Why are some children horrible to pets?Children have not yet developed the emotion/skill of empathy which allows us to 'feel' for others. It is different than sympathy because whereas sympathy allows us to pity and feel sorry for a person, empathy actually lets us feel the emotions/pain/joy another person is feeling.
One may think he or she feels empathy as a child, but true empathy develops in the prefrontal cortex of the brain around 20 years of age.
I always thought I was very empathetic as an adolescent, but after I hit 18, there was a very noticeable difference in the degree of my empathy. Where it was strong before, now, I sometimes break down just thinking of another person in a painful situation.Why are some children horrible to pets?
I hate to say this but it really doesn't get much better. My son is 16 and teases our cat, although he doesn't actually throw anything at her, he's constantly jumping at her and chasing her and picking her up, and she's an old lady!
I guess my only advice is to keep telling him that this is hurting the puppy and that he doesn't want to do that. If you can just get your two to not laugh, he'd more than likely stop doing it. I know, easier said than done!Why are some children horrible to pets?They hurt the pet... you hurt them...
regardless of age.
may make sense to them.
note people who start on animals move on to people.
All psychopaths started with cruetly to animals... humans are more fun
so the words nip in bud come tpo mind
Kids can be evil. A friend of ours brought her five year old daughter to our house and she thought it was fun to hit my German Shepherd.
I told her first that if she ever did it again I'd let him bite her then I'd never let her come to my house again and she was lucky she wasn't getting a smack. She's been here many times since and she's never hit him again.
You'll just have to keep on at him and those who are laughing at what he does until they understand what cruelty is.Why are some children horrible to pets?
I've a large rock that I would like to throw at that child; and his parents. The more I get to know animals the less I like humans.
They dont have much power in life so I think it is an attempt to feel strong...a good way round it would be to make him "Puppy Monitor" or "Head Puppy Carer" maning that he is in charge of keeping pup safe and happy. reward him for being nice to the Puppy.Why are some children horrible to pets?
Children hardly know how to wipe themselves after using the toilet. how are they meant to know these things? Because we teach them....did your parents teach you how to walk, talk, eat dinner at the table? Well parents should also teach their children how to treat animals. Sometimes children don't always listen and they misbehave. Like the underage binge drinkers in Brixton....
kids often mimic adults that surround them selves and if not checked when they misbehave they assume (wrongly most times ) that it is an acceptable way to act ! the trouble is if this child continues to be cruel to animals then he is going to get bitten, mauled or worse and a animal is going to be destroyed because of it !! have a word with your aunty about it and voice your concerns and just because he is 3-4 doesnot mean he cannot be reprimanded for his actions! good luck!
Take a switch to that @ss! Then ask him how it feels and that that's the way he makes the puppy feel. Tell him everytime he gets caught doing wrong that he's gonna get it again! By the way I am THE ALL AMERICAN!!!!
In all my years spent dealing with human beings I have realized that some people are good from day one and some are just bad rotten apples.The only way to deal with the bad ones is shear terror and sometimes brut force. Unfortunate but true.
