1.) They might somehow break them (if a little bending and twisting gets the stick glowing brightly- just think what a whole lot of bending and twisting can do!) and get the contents on themselves and their bedding.
Status: Actual
Intervention: Glow stick removed from bedroom immediately; negligible mess quickly cleaned by fast-acting father.
Result: Resulted in glowing fingers and pajamas. Three-year old changed into fresh pajamas; glowing spots removed from hands with wet wash cloth. Issue resolved without further mishap.
2.) They might chew on the stick, risking breakage and oral exposure to glow-stick contents (which are composed of who knows what!).
Status: Actual
Intervention: Glow stick removed from bedroom; accidental exposure to oral mucosa of four-year old prevented.
Result: Potentially could have resulted in a smile brighter than a toothpaste commercial! Issue resolved prior to such occurrence.
