Every time I think of the 4th of July, I think of fireworks. Although the bright displays are a favorite among adults, many parents have to be cautious about exposing their children to them. Since fireworks produce loud booms and big sparks, they may frighten children and cause them to react negatively — especially if they are young. That's why having some fireworks videos to watch on the 4th of July is a good way to introduce them to the concept of fireworks and gradually prepare them for the in-person spectacle they'll experience in the future.
