Our pets, for most of us, are important family members. For many families navigating the stress and challenges of home-schooling, pets have offered children crucial support. In a recent study, More than eight in ten parents found that their family pet helped their child feel less lonely during the lockdown, with more than three-quarters feeling that day-to-day interactions with their cat or dog reduced their child's stress and anxiety. To highlight these at-home heroes we put a call out for you to share if you have someone special at home helping you learn or keeping you motivated?
