Are All Boy Fascinated With Fire??

I think a lot of boys like to experiment with anything that makes a mess. But if playing with fire becomes one of the favourite things to do, I would be concerned. Any kids playing with fire needs to be told of the dangers and consequences and not just scolded for playing with them. If necessary keep all matches or fire starting things put away. I have no idea what age boys we are talking about.

Oh yes, fire and knives are the essential components of a boy's education. I am ever grateful that my parents allowed us to experiment and didn't make too much fuss about the singed pear tree when our 'burning building', constructed of cardboard boxes stuffed with newspaper complete with unwanted soft toys hanging out of the windows (which were cut with a borrowed kitchen knife). Come to think of it, our father was at work and our mother had just popped down to the shop for a minute or two. The minor burns - achieved when we realised that it was a rather larger fire than we had anticipated and had to put it out - were treated (when she came back) with care and solace and without any scolding (that I remember). I was given a pocket knife for my tenth birthday and taught how to use it (and how to keep it sharp). I still bear the scar from the one time that I cut myself with it.

I guess they are. My brothers were all fascinated with fire. My older brother even burned the house down once playing with matches in the middle of the night. You should be worried. cause my mom was burned really bad and still carries the scars for all to see today what my brother did over 34 years ago when he was 3.

I think maybe they all are interested in things that burn or explode. I would worry, and keep the fire extinguishers handy. I had a rule of no flammables in the bedroom, and I made my son the official barbecue starter for a whole summer to give purpose to it.

i would be a little worried because my son likes to do that but he has adhd,odd and bipolar so that explaines why he likes to do it but my 6 year dont he just likes to watch and so does my 3 year old and they are boys as well my daughter is to young for that shes only 11 months , i would just watch him and see what other things he does.

Hello my friend gtargirl Ji, One has to be careful. They should not damage themselves as well as property. But all children do all this avtivities. May god bless You and have a great time.

Yep...easy answer there.

My son did it. He could never figure out how I knew he did it ( and that sulphur smell had nothing to do with my figuring it out). Well actually he played with matches...he may have done other things that I don't know about. How old is your son?

I'm not sure if all boys are fascinated with fire but I do know alot of them are. I would be very concerned if my child liked to burn things. I think they really do not know how dangerous it could be.

I don't know about all boys, but I know mine and the neighbor boys when they were small would love to throw things into the fire that either we had going or their parents..I think as long as the child knows the danger and that they are to NEVER be around a fire without an adult, then I wouldn't worry about it..But if your worried that your son is playing with fire to the point of not following those rules, then I would be worried and make sure that he never has the opportunity to play with matches or fire..

I wouldn't be too worried... I do like a good play with things that burn and explode and burn now and again. If I were you I'd try to encourace him to to it outside or if inside with you in the house.

haha, not all boys. i used to, not going to lie, haha, but i grew out of that time when i was a kid. no you should not be worried
