The trouble with that is that the kid is capable of drinking the rat poison
long before he is capable of understanding a dissertation on why drinking
the rat poison is a Really Bad Idea.

John-

You missed the operative phrase "redirect them" ......no dissertion
involved, just clear concsie direction

I never had any trouble with my kids (or nieces or nephews) driking rat
poison or getting into stuff they shouldn't. They learned very early
(as so as they were mobile) what locations were off limits & what
places were for them to play.

Parenting is a hands-on, full time time job that I was unwilling to
delegate to a plastic latch.

First of all I didn't keep deadly chems in the house (kitchen sink
cabinet) that stuff went in the garage and little people didn't go in
the garage. Of course even no "deadly" chem can be deadly in quantity.

The perfromance of passive barriers do not compare well with active
systems.

But to each his own

(well......at least until the helmet, seatbelt, anti-smoking nanny
patrol breach the front door out homes)


cheers
Bob
