Whenever I'm watching younger family members I let them do stuff like this, only momentarily. Enough for them to feel the pain, but not long enough to have lasting effects. I then repeat something like, "Hot!" or "Owie!" then exaggerate pain with a loud wince or inhale. I repeat it until they understand.

I feel like this isn’t your lesson to teach them. If you’ve been left to babysit, you should be keeping them away from any danger, not taking it upon yourself to teach them about pain.
