That was what I figured, really. Children are taught impulse control, it's not innate so teaching her not to do something at this age is impossible My mother keeps saying "But I did it with you!" well err, ok lol? I have no idea what to say to that. DD is into the books, the DVDs, all the shelves, climbing on the coffee table etc. etc. But they refuse to let me babyproof! The problem with a safety guard is that we might not be able to use the dvd/vhs/set top box if there's something in front of it.
