If you have been away from your pets for a few hours and return home, what do your pets do? They go crazy that is what they do. If your pet is a dog it barks, yaps, jumps up on you and wants your undivided attention. Your pet will keep it up and keep it up putting its nose in your hand wanting to be petted, spoken to, and given all your undivided attention.

If your pet is a cat it will meow and rub up against your legs and want to be picked up and petted, and petted and petted with purring built in.

Your pets love you unconditionally even if you have had a bad day at work or at home. Now let us get to the important part your children, yourselves.

Your children need your undivided attention also. They need it so they can thrive, adjust emotionally to their family, school and friends. But believe it or not sometimes our pets get more attention their children because they are more straight forward in their requests. Holding your children, giving your children a tight hug, a kiss, tell you children you love them. Do not be afraid to show affection and attention to your children this is what they need on a daily basis.

An adult is the same way. If married or in a long time relationship the affection and the touching sometimes get lost in the everyday business of living. If single it is harder to find that special affection and attention which we all need to thrive and feel secure emotionally. A woman or man who gets affection, stroking and attention on a daily basis will not stray. Your heart will sing and you will be sooo happy. I suggest if you do not believe this watch your pets. It will be right their starring you right in the face.
