[blparent] question

[Amanda Winkler]

I have been having the same problem with my daughter who is 1 yrs. old but 
it is with my cell phone and Victor Reader Stream.  I have let her fully 
explore them while they are off with close supervision and I make her 
understand that they are mommy's.  If I am using them and she comes up and 
tries to take them I say "No, That is mom's." This took some time but it has 
worked.  Unlike her dad who has not done this with his iPhone she pesters 
him so much he'll leave the room just to get some peace.
