My 4 year old daughter loves animals.
Her grandparents (from both sides) can get BARELY get over her love of dogs but when she says stuff like "oh cute little piggie" - it gets their blood boiling. I don't care for it much either.
I try to avoid the Olivia on Nick Jr and read "Green Eggs and JAM".
So this morning I had a talk with her about pigs not being clean or nice animals. But I think I left her more confused that anything.
Please help me to introduce the concepts of good animals and bad animals.
Thanks
I had a Miss Piggy doll when i was around her age and I have never eaten pork, nor was curious to try anything, nor do I desire to have a pig pet. Ironically, someone gave my nephew a piggy bank toy and my mom said "NO PIG" so my bhabhi, instead of arguing, just hides it from my mom..lol. i just dont see what the big deal is, I dont' think kids should be taught ot hate animals, but when alot of parents teach thei rkids to hate other poeople.. respect for animals is far fetched.
