Children don't really have in built safeguards, and learn from their parents/teacher/siblings.
Society seems to be heading to a 'lets all learn from video's' which unfortunately is not able to interact with people as they do 'whatever' that needs cautioning.
Soldering irons are a good example.

I am in favour of "don't try this at home", but I also prefer 'here is the safe way to do this'.
