Usually the reason for sealing Tsuna's Flames in fanfic is that they would've harmed him. So i ran with this.

In a lot of fanfic there is the concept of 'age of majority', the age at which a character comes into their full power. I essentially took that and twiseted it until it fit my idea.

Until someone hits the age of seven, their Flames are fluid. They easily twist from one to the other, changing from Storm to Glacier to Swamp and so on. At the age of three, Flames settle into a distinct type; Sky, Earth, or Other (Wrath, Oath, ect.) They properly settle at the age of seven, stopping on a single (or plural) Flame type.

(This is both Nature and Nurture- a child raised by a Rain is most likely to settle as a Rain because they were raised with the values of a Rain. A child who is encouraged to defend their space/possessions is most likely to settle as a Cloud. There is, however, the effect of genetics- Skies often have Sky children, even when not involved in raising the child (See: Tsuna))

Activation of Flames at a young age stops this natural process of development, and can have negative impacts on socialisation and mental/physical health of the child. It forces them into a mould and the more destructive Flames (Such as Storm) can actually harm the user.
