Owning pets can help boost children's mental health and their mental strength.
Pets have been our companions for thousands of years, but did you know they can also be little therapists for your kids? In this episode of The Better Mental Health Show, Dr. Christopher Fasano sits down with Dr. Jen Trochtenberg to chat about the surprising benefits of pet ownership for children's mental health. From reducing stress to improving social skills, pets seem to have a magical way of making life better for our little ones.
They even play a role in therapy for children with autism and sensory issues. But it's not all wagging tails and purring; there are some caveats to consider. Dr. Fasano and Dr. Trochtenberg also touch on the lessons of life and loss that come with pet ownership. So whether you're a dog lover, a cat person, or even a fish enthusiast, you'll find something valuable in this heartwarming episode.
