[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those kinds of fear and disgust are evolutionary tools that help us avoid things that might harm us, like rotten meat, harmful insects, dangerous animals, or poisonous plants. If your child truly doesn’t have those base-level, gut senses, I’d be careful to at least teach them the intellectual and behavioral skills to avoid danger. [/quote] In some ways this child is better equipped to survive in the wild than anyone. Can identify poisonous vs edible plants and berries, identify poisonous snakes/bugs vs harmless ones, is able to ignore hunger signals, is able to eat things that most kids find disgusting (like bugs), can identify animal tracks, and probably would be able to skin and eat an animal if needed.[/quote]
