You mean you're not teaching your son how to do this -- cough, I mean
teaching your son the proper safety precautions in case he decides
to try something while both parents are out and there is no adult
supervision? :-)
I told my wife that I have to "encourage" our son in these matters so
that he'll invite me to help him with his activities. If I discourage
him he's more likely to do things unsupervised. I don't think she
really bought it but I really do believe it.
