Do you think this is dangerous?

Whats this about children using proper cutlery. We have the small sets from IKEA which are sharp enough to cut meat, and the sooner they learn the better.
Its the same with scissors. they have to lean how to use them and some parents are so over protective, it makes me feel sorry for the childen

I suppose you have to do what your DD wants you to. Luckily mine seems to be happy for me to try and injure my GS when he’s with me! Scissors, a small pair of secateurs, knives for cutting up fruit and veg form a part of our ‘play’.
Now he knows how to use these implements safely.
We’ve been doing this from an early age and now he’s 7 he loves chopping the garden down.
Would I let him do it without being around myself? Well no. Most of us aren’t idiots.

My son (now 27) attended a Montessori school from age 2 1/2 to 7 where the children were encouraged to use grown up tools safely and responsibly. He always used pointed scissors, knives, hammer and nails etc and grew up knowing how to use them carefully.
As children we used all those things without a second thought. Children nowadays just aren't allowed to dabble with a bit of supervised danger so never learn to take care.

Personally I bpught two pairs of children's scissors when the oldest two were small, not wanting to be responsible for any injuries. I think they have all used them when small. After about age 7 they gave used small grown up scissors and they are very fussy about how to handle them or pass them (ie holding by closed blades when passing) as taught at school. If a parent was concerned about anything I was doing I would of course stop immediately, not argue, even if I thought I was right!
Like others I get very nervous about playgrounds (children running behind swings , falling off things etc) but the parents seem very relaxed!
I do sometimes forget to turn pan handles away from edge when cooking, not being used to small children about very often, and have been reprimanded.
