if it weren't for the danger factor, i would let her go and learn from the consequences - but the heater is one that puts out a lot of heat when it's going, so i need her to learn early about that one cos the day we have a cold one and i have to put it on, i need to know it's not going to result in her being burnt. the tv cabinet is dangerous - i let her touch the other bits and pieces around the house, and was letting her learn from cause and effect about the drop front cupboard - until she pulled it open onto her face (only about an inch from her eye! admittedly, she isn't yanking it so hard now - she's trying to get at the dvd player above it! but it's still something that concerns me. i can't supervise her 24/7 - sometimes i'll have to leave the room to go to the loo or something!


on that subject - i've heard of perspex or similar covers for tv cabinets to stop kidlets getting at things, while still allowing the remote to work - anyone know where i can get one? if i need to, i can move the things into another cupboard with a glass front, but it's not ideal as there is no shelving and it won't breathe as well - not sure it will get enough cool air to be safe
