Put Liam (2) on a pony at the park and I guess I looked transparently worried.
Trainer: “Don’t worry dad; it’s your son’s first time on a pony but it’s Ayame’s 3,000th time with a 2 year old. She’s got this.”

I think Japan broadly has a healthier relationship with not assuming incapacity of children than the US. “Of course a sharp knife is dangerous. That’s why, when you give it to your 3 year old, you teach them to ball up their fist to keep it away from the knife. They learn fast.”
“The sharp knife is never not going to be a sharp knife and getting cut is never going to be good so how about we teach them how not to get cut as soon as they can physically manipulate it.”
