Little kids don’t know what these quick, small creatures are, and often adults react quite negatively as well. Teach your kids about the world of bugs because they are afraid of things they don’t know about.
-Go out in the nature with your children have some quality time watching how ladybugs, butterflies and other insects act and learn about their color and shape.
-Be calm, If you can—especially bees and wasps—chances are your child will learn to do the same and you can just explain that this insect is curious to meet you.
-Always tell your kids that insects are important to nature and the world. For example, bees make honey, they also pollinate and without them and many other insects, we wouldn’t have any fruits and vegetables1.
