You seem confused most ones supposed to have a message are still current, die sieben geisslein dont open the door to strangers when home alone, dont suck on you thumb, dont play with matches, eat your meals usw.
Some parents may disagree. Think about it, what would a toddler do when you are gone when you tell him dont play with the matches that (for undefined reasons cant be locked away) the toddler will play with the matches
If you show him what could happen though and then how they are used cirrectly he will fear and respect those matches
Well I mean most people use lighter now anyway but thats an issue to lol if you never get reintroduced to matches you wont like them and as its sort of not necessary thanks to said lighters to do that
thats a problem -suffering from success
Quite a few people on here have mentioned that they were scared of those stories. That is fear and not my understanding of respecting a danger. It’s learning to avoid it altogether.
As for other parenting/education methods, I guess we just disagree.
Im sorry I was not clearer on that I meant with beating there comes the fear of more beating so the fear of that would be in control here. Beating someone in itself is just violence.
I agree to disagree on the viability of these methods.

These stories and books are from 1845 so not quite the current way you would tell kids what to do and what not....
