Life is dangerous. Have done sparklers for years with no issues. Not OP but the question was where to get them.

Christopher Reeves rode horses for years with no accident. What’s your point?

Why don't you just go live in a cave then? Everything in life comes with a risk, even the mere act of getting out of bed.

But you’re taking on an assumed risk, with inherent dangers, for your kids that could affect them forever. If you are okay with the possible consequences, go for it. You have a cultural tie tonit, so it is more meaningful to you. I don’t, so my weighing of the risks/rewards is different from you.

If your niece was badly burned on her hands and face, at her own home, would you continue to do the sparklers at your home?

No one is sending kids out alone with fireworks. There is plenty of supervision. No one is asking you to do anything you don't want to. But it doesn't automatically mean disaster if people choose to celebrate their culture.

Oh please. How many white kids end up with sports related concussions every day. How dare you enroll your kid into activities with inherent danger involved? And you let them play soccer in turf?? Knowing the increased risk of cancer?

And please never take them to the pool or in the ocean, do you know how many kids drown every year?

Stop taking in these assumed risks that could affect you child forever, how could you be okay with the possible consequences? If you celebrate Christmas, don’t you realize that Christmas lights are dangerous for children? Nearly all contain high levels of lead and many are made from glass. Babies and little kids can put these on there mouths, step on them, pull them down from Christmas trees risking fires and bodily injury.

And stop with so much junk food. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines.. back to back bombardment of cultural reasons for gluttony. Obesity is the second largest contributor to death in this country.

Okay. Give your child a lit stick from which lighted sparks fly off. Maybe this will be the time someone burns themselves or someone hair catches fire, maybe it won't. We all have to get out of bed, but we don't need to give our children fire sticks.

I've been lighting sparklers for Diwali every year since I was a kid, first with my parents and now with my own kids. As do millions of Indian families. There is a whole wide world outside your little bubble.

You don't have to. But those of us who had childhoods where we actually lit sparklers and other stuff want to pass on some of the fun to our kids. We can supervise them.

Sparklers in the backyard with adult supervision and common sense are fine. We would always have a bucket of sand to stick the used ones into.
