Pet Responsibility Chart For Kids

So your child wants to own a pet, but you are worried they'll not take good care of the animal?

Let them be part of the decision-making process. Allow your child to chart his/her responsibilities and track his/her progress. This will allow them to feel invested in their role as pet caretakers.

A weekly pet chores chart is a great way to introduce your child to the idea of pet ownership. Shared responsibility in caring for a pet is a great opportunity to teach your child about the importance of being responsible. Kids can use the charts to record what they've done, and you can use them to keep tabs on who's been fed and whether the litter box has been scooped.
