Another example: he doesn't swim but pushed his brother into the water at the pool. I then pushed him myself then jumped in the water to save him and told him, be careful, you can't swim.

Before forbidding something please try to give the children time and watch them. If they learn a dangerous thing you will save time later because your children have already learned.
