| Summary |
"This volume creates a landscape of new ideas on what we might consider both commonplace and yet mysterious-our relations with animals and their influences on children and developmental processes. The chapters collectively form a multilevel, ecological model from which to consider the social, emotional, physiological, and contextual effects of the growing child's relationship with other animals. How do we best characterize the nature of our relationships with our pets? What are the physiological and neural effects of human-animal touch across development? Can our fascination with, and love of, animals help to heal children or adults who have had trauma? These questions and many others are addressed by the research in this volume, as well as the possibility that child-animal interactions may help support children's coping and resilience. As with many areas of prevention research, carefully designed studies with well-characterized samples, well-designed interventions, and appropriate measures are necessary."--Foreword.
