I am trying to teach my kids to respect them and not fear them indiscriminately.

Good Job Jason,

I've worked hard to instill the same in my daughter. She like to catch snakes, but knows that I have to inspect them first. Even with venomous snakes, spiders etc. I try to teach her the difference between prudent and respectful caution and irrational fear.
