One of the most important jobs of being a parent is to teach your children how to remain safe. This is a job that varies a lot more than you might think, mostly dependent on your location within the world. For the majority of us, spiders send shivers down our spines. Whether that is due to them having eight legs or their method of capturing prey I really have no idea, but spiders are definitely up there with the most feared creatures. If you live in certain countries then whilst spiders might be scary it is very unlikely they are going to kill you.
That doesn’t apply in Australia where a number of deadly spiders reside. And so we come to this life lesson a father is teaching his son. For reasons best known to himself, the young boy abandoned his trainer overnight on the porch, and luckily for him, his father is switched on to the dangers. Noticing a spider’s web inside the shoe he takes preventative action to evict the spider. This action proves a success, but also goes to show the danger that the boy could have been in if he had placed his foot inside the shoe.
This video is well worth watching, just as an eye opener, and perhaps a teachable moment for your children, and where they throw their shoes, even if you don’t live in Australia. Don’t forget to share it with your family and friends on Facebook.
