nbsp My child has an interest in tarantulas. What can I do to encourage and assist their interest?
  You as the parent should first do some research online and also read some of the good hobby books such as “The Tarantula Keepers Guide” by Schultz & Schultz. You can then pass on this information to your children and let them continue doing their own research and reading. Getting involved with a local tarantula enthusiasts group is also a good way to get information and meet other people with a similar interest.
