quality time with you family

The family that plays together stays together. This is true also if you have both children and pets. Develop a healthy relationship with both by teaching your kids how to care for an animal. Select books that teach as well as tell a story. "Patrick the Wayward Setter" is a good one, because it teaches that even with a hard- to- train puppy, a family must persevere to maintain a quality relationship with the addition to the family. Read to your children and help them along. This way, you will have set a precedent that will be lifelong and bring many happy rewards!
