<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1210658, member: 16948&quot;]Green, I know you&#039;re teasing, but you actually bring up a good point.&nbsp; Sometimes parents let their young children climb all over the chairs, leaning on and touching the cases, touching and grabbing anything and everything, often with sticky and/or food-covered little fingers.&nbsp; Of course, I welcome and look forward to helping any kids who are sincerely interested in coins but the little ones who plainly are quite bored and would rather be anywhere else can be an issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know and completely understand that some parents for whatever reason cannot get a babysitter so they must bring their little ones with them to shows.&nbsp; However, it is important especially at a coin show that parents keep track of their kids and make sure they do not climb on the chairs and table, and not touch or grab anything on a dealer&#039;s cases and table.&nbsp; It is already hard for a dealer to give their attention to several customers at one time, and to be distracted by little fingers trying to touch or play with everything on the table makes it much more difficult for dealers to pay attention to the customers and the coins that are out being shown to customers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have often had to politely ask a parent to keep their child off the cases and sometimes when the parent was distracted, I even had to ask the child to please climb down off my cases or to stop touching items on display.&nbsp; Usually, the parent will apologize and comply, but sometimes this can be tricky since some parents get offended when asked to keep their child away from things the child wants to play with.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So little children at coin shows is probably another &quot;do/don&#039;t&quot; I should add to my list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
