I think that everyone here gave excellent advice. When our kids were growing up- all 6 of them (yours, mine,ours) we had all sorts of animals. Each was responsible for certain aspects of animal care. I am going to also add that we live in the country-not city-so there is ample ways to teach a young one to become an "animal lover". Even though our children are now grown, they still have a healthy respect for animals and all of them are pet owners. Our grandchildren are even following in their parents footsteps. I believe that setting the example is the best teacher. I do not subscribe to the theory of "do what I say but not as I do".
