Homework Challenge: Animals are an important part of our world. Read some books about animals and give your child an opportunity to play with an animal this week. Some children who never get exposed to dogs, cats or other pets are very fearful of them. The more they have positive experiences with animals the less fearful they become. You may want to go to the willow park zoo or even a pet store to get some exposure. Another way is to ask a neighbor with a pet if you can visit and play with their pet. Just be sure you are careful and supervise the experience.
