As a parent, something I learn again every now and then is that sometimes even though you tell your child how hot the fire is, they need to touch it just to understand what “hot” means. I’ve learned that you have to be there to soothe their wounds, but without saying “I told you so”. You have to make sure that they actually understand the lesson they just learned. If you only soothe their wounds, they may not understand their accountability in the consequences they just faced, and are likely to touch that fire again.
