Teaching fire safety to children Teaching fire safety to children Kids love fire because the heat and light are major attractions for them. To this day, even adults love firecrackers and fireworks.
Parents try to control playing with fire by expressively forbidding it.
This makes it worse as children are even more ignited by the mystery and curiosity of fire. When fire becomes a normalized thing for them, their curiosity is satisfied. They won't engage in forbidden fire play. Teach your child how to light and hold a matchstick. Let him experience the heat and danger of getting burned.
