Appetite For Destructive Experimentation

Children have an instinctual need to explore and experiment with destruction.

Not just by slamming one thing against another, although that is indeed an example of said need, but involving the forces they barely understand.

Fire is the classic one, easily controllable (It seems) but so capable of destruction.

Electricity is the choice of those of a more aggressive or inquisitive nature, more mysterious, more useful, more deadly.

But gravity? That can certainly draw attention, but not for long. Dropping things is the limit of the destructive power available.

Except your child. They can wield it like fire.

Not good.
