So, say I'm a firefighter, in the middle of fighting a blaze.

And a 7-year-old walks up and says "I want to help too! Look, I have a water pistol!"

According to what you just said, I should stop and make him feel good about helping. Not get him the hell out of there and back to his parents. Because he's not going to do anything except get in the way and possibly get himself killed.
