If kids cant notice the strings on puppets, how can they notice that she only has one full arm?

I think its the parents that are "scared" not the kids  >:(

Narrow minded to say the very least. Kids accept people that are 'different', maybe ask a question or 2 and then get to the important task of playing, I doubt any of these kids though any more about it after they first realised she had a hand/fore arm missing.

Arm, or lack of, apart, she and her co-host are not a patch on Chris and Pui

From what i have seen/heard kids have no preconseptions(sp) or hang ups - wish adults (me included) could be so open minded

Doh!   :-[

As for the story, I heard this on the radio today and I was shocked! To the presenter in questions credit, it seemed like she really didnt care that there were some small minded people out there! She just wanted to do a good job and her disability should have nothing to do with it.

Well im sorry but i dont like watching TV when she"s on...lets be fair its just another ""lets be seen too be equal"" from the programme makers.

Oh and my kids watch the show she"s on and i doubt for one second its her presenting skills that got her the job.

i work for a well known disability charity,and i generally find that kids dont care much about a persons disability,adults are so much more narrow minded.

i agree
if adults are narrow minded it will soon pass down to the kids which is then when the bullying starts

Anyone remember Sally James (TISWAS) or Jenny Handley (Magpie)? ;D
Seriously tho, whilst agree that jobs should be given on merit (and I havent seen the presenter in question so cant comment on her abilities there) kids dont "see" disabilities or colour like adults so reaction of people to her disability is THEIR hangup not their kids. By the way , I always thought that Justin in "something special" with his sign language and inclusion of so called "special needs" kids was excellent.

Seriously though, the BBC should tell those complainers where to go.

I agree  furthermore kids are very accepting of what they see
i think at most it would make the child ask their parent why she had no hand   if they even noticed at all
