How to ensure that children are listened to and heard us? Only through kindness. "

And our son Dima with any illness came to be treated in our ailurophile. Right in the cage rests on the floor, a cat on all sides swarmed, and in 20-30 minutes, he feels a tremendous burst of energy. You should never drive away the cat, if you pribludy ".
