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.”

I agree with the premise, but in the case of the knife specifically; while learning to keep the sharp part pointing the other way the chance of an accident is quite high and the damage quite significant. I put it in practice, but in more restrained scenarios

Now it's time to introduce a new line to my wildly successful family of made-up products for parents. From the people who brought you trainer outlets (looks like regular outlets, safe but painful electric fence shock instead of danger); trainer electric shock knives! :)

This is more broadly a horse thing. When my daughter (7) first got on a horse in Montana the trainer said roughly the same things. Many 100s of kids learned to ride on that horse. The horse knows how to teach the kids.
