[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 148016, member: 4001"] I was surprised at how open minded most of the children were about my bugs. Then again, I am talking about very young children, (4 and 5 years old). This wasn't the first time I brought a bug for them to see. I brought in an old Chinese female before that. I brought her for my daughters class to see, but it turned out that after the first showing, the other 2 Pre-k teachers requested that I show their classes as well. It took me quite a while to get out of there. :lol: There were about 4 children that were afraid,(all boys) 1 in particular was shaking and trying to push himself into the wall. :o <_< In my experience, the younger children are more open minded to bugs. Many of the girls in the class were reaching out to touch the mantis, most of the boys were satisfied just observing. I think that at that young age,most of the parents haven't yet discouraged their kids from the creatures. [/QUOTE]
