[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 209548, member: 1233"] Welcome thank you! Many of us have had times when we needed advice for kids who were playing with matches or fire, whether they were our difficult kids or not. I look forward to having someone with fire safety experience who can help us answer questions. We will answer any questions we can for you. What approach is recommended to help deal with a child who is curious about fire and may be playing iwth matches? One woman here was told by her child's therapist to have him strike 200 or so matches, while our fire dept advised my family to bring my easy child daughter (normal child, not difficult, but went through a stage where she was VERY interested in fire - thankfully we are past this). The fire dept talked to her about the dangers, and we make sure to have her do the local FD's "smoke house" demo about every 6 months. It is where kids can go through a simulated burning building to learn how to get out. I am also curious as to what brought you here. A family member, or just the kids you are or will be workign with?
