Meaning
This can be taken to mean that a small, controlled dose of fear can be exciting, but only if the child still feels safe. It draws a line between playful suspense and real upset, which lands in stories, games, or films that are meant to thrill without overwhelming.

About Salman Rushdie
Indian-born British and American novelist
Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie is an Indian-born British and American novelist. He is known for fiction that blends magical realism with historical elements, and for writing about movement, rupture, and exchange between Eastern and Western worlds. His novels are often set on the Indian subcontinent and frequently center Indian characters or family life. Midnight's Children, his second novel, won the Booker Prize in 1981, and later it was selected twice as the best of all Booker winners, for the prize's 25th and 40th anniversaries.
