Why Do Kids Play With Fire?
Fire is the greatest source of energy and the most used element in this world. With fire we can make a lot of things like light, energy, heat, food and combustion. Thus fire became an everyday use at home specially when cooking and putting light during the night. This element both has its advantage and disadvantages and is both very useful and harmful in nature.
During a chemical reaction a fire creates light that becomes so attractive in our eyes even from a great distance. Like moths we drew close to the light out of curiosity. Curiosity kills a cat as they say, which is true in many ways like we go to places or do things out of curiosity just to try how they taste and feel without even thinking the dangers and harmful effects of it.
Most kids under the age of five are curious about fire. Often what begins as a natural exploration however can lead to tragedy.
Fire is fast. In less then 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. Unfortunately most kids don’t think about what could happen. I remember myself playing a magnifying lens and a box of matches when suddenly the box burst into flames and caught my hands on fire fortunately I just got minor burns, blisters and worst bruised ass because my grandma slapped my butt endlessly for using his Folding Reading Glasses as an experiment.
Sometimes kids would play with fire intentionally. This group of children are often classified as ”Pyromaniacs”, children like these has an impulse to deliberately start fires to relieve tension and typically includes gratification or relief afterward.
For safety and precaution you should keep away objects that drives them to do such things such as matches, lighters and High Power Reading Glasses with thick lenses as they may mistakenly use it as another Magnifying Glasses experiment.
