[quote=Anonymous]Agree a 4/5 year old might see this as a person deliberately walking “funny” for effect. You did lead by example. Were you laughing at the woman, no? Kids can be exposed to many situations, but a child that age is still encountering many new situations. Teach and move on. FWIW, I have a preschooler with Type 1 Diabetes. Kids and ADULTS are always shocked when they see a tiny kid getting injections. Some people turn away, some stare in not so discreet ways. I have heard adults exclaim OMG that baby just got a shot! I have heard parents (who probably know a diabetic) explain to their kids. I have had little kids come up and ask me why I gave a shot. Life happens. [/quote]
