    It starts off the hop that they should be scared of the thing they are trying to do.

    The irony of a society who constantly says “god be with you” (good-bye) but shouldn’t say “be careful”.

      “God be with you” seems like a positive statement, maybe I’m wrong there. I also can’t recall the last time I heard that said.

      Helping the child wrap their head around doing risky or dangerous things in ways to reduce risk is very handy for them as they get older and have to make choices and navigate stuff when they are starting to become more independent.
