Apply this standard to every idea a kid has.
How does it work out?
Play in the street?
Jump of a multi story building?
Leap into the ocean tied to an anchor?
There are lots of things kid may want or desire that in the long run it is best if you make an attempt to curb it. That is the truly compassionate path.
And what happens if he wants to be considered a different age, he was born into a body too young?
