Parents try to kid-proof the house, but you can’t remember everything. It’s very hard to keep kids out of everything as well.
The matches shouldn’t have been available to this kid. Lighters, matches, oven lighters, all should be locked away to prevent kids from their natural inclination to discover what fire is all about at the expense of the family or community.
Young kids do not understand the ramifications of their acts. As long as the kid doesn’t have a long standing problem involving a number of incidents where he was playing with fire and it cause problems, it’s probably a one time mistake.
Some kids do have a propensity to play with fire. And those kids need to work through it if possible with a professional.
I’m glad things turned out well for you.

Yeah that is soooo easy to say, but my 6 year old boy is smarter at finding and unlocking everything I try to keep away from him than I am at hiding it and the key, as I was, I was about 8 when my brother and I caught the field behind the house on fire, luckily the FD was only 1/4 mile away and it only singed less than an acre

Kids have been making mistakes for a long time.
Maybe it was a kid who discovered fire. You don't suppose he got his butt beat by his dad. lol
