Sitting stance and size... I'd say the child is about 10mo.

There is nothing that kid would learn from touching fire except that it didn't pick up the fire. There would be no concept or grasp of why they're in pain. No cognitive connection of the pain to the fire. No real lesson.

Letting them learn is predicated on the idea that they can objectively learn the lesson. If they can't, stop them.

Based on the cake put in front of it by its parents with 1 lit candle in it, I’d say the child is closer to 12 months old.

Not that this would make it able to learn any better.
