[QUOTE="Andy, post: 209577, member: 5096"] Welcome! It seems almost all kids are interested in lighting matches at some point. How do we know when that interest goes further into a dangerous obsession? What are signs that the kid may be lighting matches in secret? When/where do you see the most problems in these secret lightings? My difficult child was into matches last Spring/Summer. I purchased candles in jars and he was only allowed to light them when he was taking a shower or bath. He had lots of showers and baths for a few weeks. I also allowed him to light smoke bombs (supervised) in the cul de sac. I did find out that he and the neighbor boy went into easy child's room, gathered all her candles (she collected them), and lit all of them! Trouble big time for that one. Fortunately, he has since lost interest in this activity. (that I know of) [/QUOTE]
