If your kid starts a fire outside that only singed the hair off your other child and only by luck did it not catch your house on fire... was that not a big deal?
No one was actually hurt and the house didn't burn down so... why would anyone care that one of your kids could have burned down your house and immolated your other kid? No bid deal right because the severity of what happened was actually nothing. The house wasn't damaged and hair re-grows... right? |
It is not a big deal because the house didn't burn down. Would I use this as a teachable moment, absolutely. Would I charge my child with arson and ruin their life for it because it could have burned the house down.. or in fact the whole town... why stop there... all life on the planet could have ended due to this heinous act... Wow, thanks for opening my eyes... this was a big deal. I hope I can sleep tonight and not worry about my kids burning earth from existence.
