I just hear that children "pat" them instead of "petting" them...and I am annoyed when people in general want to hold him all the time (strangers) and then I get pushed with kids holding him. He is too fragile! Geeze. He needs to grow a bit.
I will have him acclimated to children for sure, but won't be going over any time soon to a house that is full of children with him. |
It's true. Children can pat, instead of pet. I say gently,"Be gentle, sweetie." And when they soften their touch, I say,"Yes, you are very good with Tatiana."
Also, same here, I get requests to hold Tatian. I always decline. I simply say,"No, Tatiana would get really scared." With children, I would offer instead that they could pet her ANY TIME (when she's in the pouch). Just let me know (and I will kneel).
