Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:   Training classes can be helpful to a pet and it’s owners.

PRACTICE:   Today, plan to take your child to see animal training classes. Talk to the workers about what types of animals can be trained, how long it takes, and how important the owners are to the success of the training.

If you own a pet, decide whether training classes would be helpful for your pet and family members.

If you do not own a pet yet, decide whether you want to arrange for training classes for your pet if you get one at some point.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, PICK A PUP.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
