Children do stupid things. Gate keeping them from touching a flame or walking off a balcony or any other experience they have no concept of is what parents do. It is to indoctrinate until children learns their own way and that generally happens once they understand the world better.

If we let children do as they do because it was their body then where would we be as responsible parents.
