[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1595890, member: 968"] When we lived in Kansas (many years ago), my 7 year old daughter started with a hog project. Sheep, goats, hogs, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits. Lots of great animal projects for little ones. Funny, now that I think about it, no one shows cats???? I have been involved with 4-H juniors for ?? almost 50 years and I can't remember any cats/kittens at a fair. That's strange. Anyway, you have the right idea. Keeping kids involved in something that HAVE to take care of and work with is great. Teaches them responsibility and work ethics. But, YOU have to learn HANDS OFF. Too many parents make it "their project" instead of the kids. I've been an advisor for many, many years. Kids don't learn if the parent does the work. [/QUOTE]
