yes, i think i would do that too. If i child does something that could hinder their safety, its better to explain. so they know that you arent trying to control their life but your trying to keep them safe. i think i would make the child feel more confortable and trust you more.Christine Palmer wrote: ↑22 Feb 2023, 10:11 That was a different time for sure. I would be having more conversations about fire safety and those boys would not have any unsupervised time for quite a while until they can be trusted more.

I agree with you. Those two scenarios differ and requires different approaches, especially when the kids' safety is on the line.Christine Palmer wrote: ↑24 Feb 2023, 11:59 I argue throwing an eraser and using cherry bombs are very different. Simple curiosity and an accidental throw is not the same as blowing things up!
Olga Markova wrote: ↑22 Feb 2023, 12:43I agree. The episode called up my memory when my dad came from a business trip and brought me a present - a huge rubber - one of those for rubbing off pencil marks on drawings (and walls ). It was huge, the size of a piece of soap. Different times of course, more than four decades ago. Good rubbers were soft, and the way we were testing rubbers for softness was by bending them. So I bent it, and at that moment I stood behind my mum who was obstructing the view of my dad. I raised my hand to show my dad how soft the rubber was, lost the grip of the tensely bent rubber, and it catapulted from my hand and hit my mum full on, on the back of her head. Mum had a mixed - but stoic! - reaction, that left my dad and me laughing to tears (I still do as I recall this moment!), and then mum did confiscate my rubber, and told my dad and me that she was going to evict us to live in a desert - safe for her and everyone!ReviewsByChristine wrote: ↑22 Feb 2023, 10:11 That was a different time for sure.

That's a measure to take. In addition, I'll have a conversation with them around safety and safe ways to play.
