Respect their wildness
Respect all the animals
It’s easy for kids to respect those cute and adorable mammals.
Out of curiosity, young kids want to chase after a squirrel, or pet a wild rabbit. But human interactions with wildlife can negatively affect animals by changing their natural behavior. Teach children to leave animals alone and observe them from a distance.
