What inappropriate preschool fire safety message suggests that matches are suitable for adults?

The message "Matches are for grown-ups" implies that it is acceptable for adults to handle matches while potentially downplaying the dangers they pose. This can lead to a misunderstanding among preschoolers about fire safety, as it may unintentionally suggest that matches are safe and suitable for use by adults without proper supervision or safety measures.

Teaching preschoolers about fire safety should emphasize that matches and similar fire-starting tools are not toys and can be extremely dangerous. Instead, effective fire safety education communicates that these items should be handled with caution and respect, ideally by trained adults only, while encouraging children to understand the hazards associated with fire.

In this context, the other options promote essential fire safety practices, such as what to do during a fire or how to avoid smoke inhalation, without implying that dangerous items like matches are safe for adult use.
