When I was small I had read an article about the fireworks factory where they hire small children to do the work. Sometimes there is a mishap in the factory itself and children die while working. From that day I have not bought or played with fireworks. And I have kept my kids also away from them. We do not bring fireworks to our house for any occasion.

Its not about having a phobia for accidents. Its jus that when they show the children working in these factories in miserable conditions that I do not feel like using any fireworks.

We are very cautious when using fireworks at our home. All are legal, my kids are kept far away from where their Dad is lighting them off. It can be dangerous, especially if kids are unsupervised with any type of firework, including sparklers or those little poppers that you throw on the ground. However, I can't seem not letting them have their time to celebrate. Any activity that our children participate in has risk, and includes the responsibility of us keeping them as safe as possible.

yes we are responsible if our children might get burn or having damage in their body, because some of the children are eager to try the fireworks be lighten without know that it is dangerous to them or even to the adult.

It is much safer if the parents watch their children and teach them proper safe behavior around them.

that is the best thing to do for the safety of our children because they are very observant.

Children love to see and pop fireworks, if kid is going to popping fireworks, the parents must be here where kid pop it. Parent can give kid some safe fireworks, too dangerous fireworks should be not allowed. Up to day, more city is not allow to pop fireworks in the center of the city, there is a place that people can do it.

it cannot be avoided if they dont experience to be hurt and to pop up to their hands or somewhere in their bodies. Kids are very observant and they want to try popping by their own not knowing with the elders, they hide to pop fireworks but they will only know the danger of it when they are hit or burn.

That's really sad! But I don't mind fireworks as long as people who are of age are lighting them and they don't make kids that are watching them deaf or catch on fire. haha.
