Just including them in your repertoire of stories, even from just beginning to starting, reading them books and stuff like that would be super helpful.

Is there a wider point here about how like cultural or familiar influences can affect a children's feelings on a variety of topics?

I mean, I would say so.

I think that there are broader implications for this, for sure.

Just looking at the way that we represent things in culture and talk about things.

So, of course, that research would need to be done.

We haven't done that research, but I think that that would be a good playing place for sure.

Denae, I've enjoyed this chat.

Thanks for coming on and sharing your research with me.

I do concede spiders are wonderful creatures.

They just terrify me and I wish they didn't.

That's fair.

We can work on that.
