I would be OK with my children using a microwave under the age of 12, but would wait until they were around 12 to use the oven and stove. (They need to show responsibility for that one.)
I do think many of the weird and terrifying dreams we had as children are from when our parents would indoctrinate our fears of fire, strangers, etc. They did that to protect us, but it also made us fear almost everything.
It would be interesting for you to write down all of your experiences that may be paranormal.
