1. Play with fire.
When I was elementary school-aged, a friend and I burnt down my neighbor's fence. Not on purpose of course - we were just playing with matches and a dried-up garbage pile. However, it was fortunate the neighbor was home and had access to a strong water hose. Otherwise, that could have been a disaster.
4. Deconstruct appliances.
Not sure why this is dangerous. Or should they do it while those appliances are still plugged in? :)
5. Break the DMCA.
If my son ever reverse engineers a digital lock used to implement DRM I'll be the proudest Dad on the planet.
The sex suggestion is bang on too. What about drugs? Cigarettes? Though generally, by the time a child is interested in such things, I think the idea that a parent has the choice to allow or disallow is mostly illusory.
