I want to teach my kid to like animals. Even small ones. But I am too afraid to touch them or even try to catch them.

Long time ago I had a friend that just jumped and caught a mouse with his bare hands. It was the same for small lizards, snakes… I would never be able to do that. Mostly because I am afraid to do that. He always loved animals and always released them, after he pet them for a bit. I think he is veterinarian now.

I want to be more like this friend, so I can teach my kid to be the same. Also I am jealous of styropyro. He just has his moth and squirrel friends… I want that to :)

Where should I start? Did you ever had similar feelings?
