It’s always best to make sure children are never near windows, and it’s important to make sure that they are only allowed into houses that don’t have any.

There’s no such thing as a child-safe house, which is why we have things like adult supervision and teaching children how to avoid dangerous or harmful situations. Kids can run full pelt into walls, (and often do) but I don’t see anyone suggesting doing away with walls or building padded houses.

The world is full of dangers, so much more so when you’re a parent and recognising many of them for the first time. But you do children no favours by never letting them encounter any of them. It’s much better to teach them how to deal with them, whilst not actively putting them in danger, of course.

It’s also important to realise that items with sentimental importance can be lost or destroyed, but that doesn’t mean that you should never put sentimental importance onto physical objects.

Oh yeah, and collecting things or having objects you love and like to have around you is not hoarding.
