We learned valuable life lessons. You touch something hot, you get burned.
You get mommy to kiss it better and but a Band-Aid on it. Nowadays people
buy all sorts of toys to give their little angels a world's worth of
stimulation, but hazard free.

A kid gets a little burn from an Easy Bake oven?? Big frigging deal.

Add that to the fact that some people want to do away with keeping
score in grade school sports and allowing every child to pass to the
next grade because a child's self esteem might be damaged if they're
held back and you end up with a nation of pansies. Along with the
lawyers, they need to get rid of social workers, and child
psychologists.
