Pet Pals

Spend five minutes gently petting or watching a pet and talking about what it needs to be happy.

Category: Math & Science · Duration: ~5 min

1. Sit with your pet (or watch a neighbor's pet, or even a bird outside). 2. "What does [pet name] need to be happy? Food? Water? Love?" 3. Show gentle hands: slow strokes, soft touches. "Animals like it when we're calm." 4. Talk about the pet's body: "See its fur? Its paws? Its tail wagging?" 5. If you don't have a pet, watch birds or squirrels outside and talk about what they're doing.
