Kids and teenagers with hemophilia are often concerned about outdoor activities or sports…so having a puppy , or a bird or a squirrel of Mongolia (exotic!!) can be a great idea and experience of life! it can help the youngster to get interested in teaching and learning. And the relationship between the 2 brings joy and fun. This is my little dog Hommer, he is infernal sometimes, but i love him 🙂
At the same time youngsters see their pets as companions when they are at home recovering from a bleed, or just for new games. Having a walk with your dog, or going out showing your rabbit, or turtle can be a way to make new friends or to just have fun together!
TER um animal de estimação como um cachorrinho,( aqui encima é meu cachorro Hommer! ele é louco mas eu amo ele 🙂 ,um pássaro, um coelho da India, ou um esquilo da Mongólia (exótico não?….um adolescente no centro teve um que morreu de velhice) pode ser uma ótima experiência para um jovem com hemofilia.
Além de ter um companheiro com quem dividir horas quando se está em casa se recuperando de um sangramento…ou simplesmente pelo carinho estruturante que se constroi entre os dois ..ter a responsabilidade de cuidar de outro faz muito bem!
