    I think it’s pretty clear they’re referring to uncomfortable stuff, not dangerous stuff. Obviously don’t let them do dangerous stuff.

      Exactly. Always protect your little ones. It is okay if they experience negative consequences, as long as it doesn’t harm them.

      Trying to drink from a glass of water and get fully soaked is okay, even if the experience is not entirely positive.

      Touching a hot oven is not okay. Here you have to protect them. The best you can do is try to explain why it is not okay to touch it.
