No one under 18 should be lighting or setting off fireworks. I've seen WAY too many kids with their fingers or hands blown completely apart or off. If your parents want to take the chance of letting you be permanently disfigured, go for it.

I'm almost 30 and have never lit a firework. Allowing a child of any age to hold fire in their hand and light an explosive device is just asking for trouble and serious injury. People don't realize how many kids go to the ER each year because of fireworks. Sure they may look pretty, but they are not toys. Go to the fireworks display in your town and leave it at that.

it really is the first year my son has truly loved them, and he's seven. He continually had a difficulty with the sounds. each and every baby is diverse, and it wasn't until eventually he replaced into 5 that he replaced into found to have some sensory integration topics, so as it really is why he did not like the noise too a lot. i imagine attempting issues more beneficial than one time is a superb ingredient. i understand first hand that it would nicely be discouraging to ought to go away someplace at the same time as a baby receives disillusioned, and at the same time as the youngster starts to become older you should actually be attentive to a baby's convenience zones, and be prepared to ascertain issues from the youngster's perspective (it really is a superb reason to get memberships to some places (like the zoo), so that you'll visit in little increments, rather of feeling like you should spend all day there). as long as a baby is acquainted with that you're literally not indignant for having to go away someplace (not an situation at this degree, i understand), at the same time as they are not feeling delicate, and being reassured that he/she will be able to "some day" like the fireworks (or an leisure journey, or the swings contained in the park, or inspite of), a baby will be extra prepared to attempt lower back.

I was probably 18 when I lit anything other than a sparkler.
I think kids between the ages 12 and 13 could start by lighting the black cats and the sparklers, etc. Personally, I think I would wait until my child was maybe 15 or 16 before lighting the other bigger fire works. Happy 4th! :)
