We talk a lot about how children today are wrapped up in bubble wrap. This alleged wrapping is done so to protect children from getting hurt. This can also be referred to as “caring for them.” Obviously, over time, we have learnt more about how to best keep children safe. Looking back at some of these pictures is honestly quite alarming; I mean, surely these parents knew better?
Given how dangerous some of these photos are, I don’t think that taking care of them by proverbially wrapping them in cotton-wool will do any harm; especially if you, you know, want them to stay alive. Regardless, a lot of these photos are humorous and show how much society has changed in a short period of time.
