He catches toads, lizards, fawns, bears every living things that come accross his way! Garden snakes, Everything! Later, he tries to capture a bare cub by feeding it cornbread and grabbing it. The angry mother bear hears her cub wailing and attacks, but luckily his brother was there releasing a shut in the air using his shutgun that drives the bear off. OMG, he could have been devoured by the mother bear..What shall his parents do with him?

Hi gurabbat, Children are naturally curious. They are innocent and full of questions about living and non-living things. If they are brought outdoors, they would venture out and discover little hideaways of insects or small animals because of their curiosity. In situations like this, the parents should be ready to protect the child so that no harm will come upon him. See to it that there is an accompanying adult beside him. If possible, let him wear a necklace with a small bell around his neck, so that in case he goes further into the field, the adult will notice his location by the sound of the bell. Or, let him wear bright-colored shirts, to easily spot him from where you stand. Always answer his questions about animals or insects. And, teach him the importance of respecting animal rights. Give him books to read about animals and insects. From there, he will learn the what, why, how and where animals live. He will also know what animals are wild and dangerous, and how to avoid them.

hello gurabbat, i can't really give you a useful answer to this as we don't anything as dangerous as a bear here in the UK. i think, though, it depends how old he is, and the only advice i would give, is that you need to encourage him to be aware of danger, but on the otherhand you do not want to scare him, as a desire to explore things is a good thing. but then i am sure you know that already.
