[blParent] Accessible Monitor or Surveillance System

[Judy Jones]

Oh yes, another great idea I had forgotten about.

We kept our Tupperware and non-breakables on lower shelves.  We did have
soaps and such under the sink with child locks, but both girls always went
to the Tupperware lids drawer or the Tupperware or pots and pans, they could
get to and play with.  They seemed to know where to find those things right
away.

I find it pretty unhelpful to think they will avoid the kitchen all
together, so another best practice is to put things like pots and pans on
the bottom where they can reach, and the treats and snacks up high out of
reach.
Motion detection items are nice, but they don't really help if you are in
the restroom, and need to be there for a few minutes.
Take care,
