I am not scared

Please stop asking my children if they are scared while touching spiders, stick insects, cockroaches or baby crocodiles... And don't call them brave either...

If they were scared, they wouldn't touch... What has bravery to do with stroking some harmless animal anyway?

And yes, they will become scared if every person asks the very same question...

Children by nature are extremely curious and not scared at all. Perhaps just refrain from any comments...
