Kids gain from ...: ...The care, training &enjoyment of animals. E.G., equine therapy, training seeing-eye dogs, raising a calf/lamb, etc. & of course, w/ the right animal & the right mentor, interactions w/ animals can be healthy for a child, without a formal "therapy" program. It can foster improved social development, mutual trust, self-confidence, self-discipline, patience, responsibility, and joy.
