Protecting Equipment from Children


My grandchildren are visiting this weekend.  They love buttons, knobs and remote controls.  Is there a good way to protect my equipment from destructive little hands?

Speaker grill, hide remote..teach them to stay away and tell them why. When you explain to them reasons they might appreciate that more. Let them know the materials are delicate and made of slik and are very easily destroyed. Tell them it has to be thin and light to work and do it's design.

Also giving them a $20 bill to stay away will work best

Little ones, like puppies, need constant surveillance. It’s just the way it is. Then this cool little two letter word, universally known, works wonders. It’s NO. Firm but not harsh said with authority that conveys the seriousness of the moment. Boundaries seem to have been forgotten in todays world. Works with my grandkids, 2-6-8. Never an issue.

What everyone said above. Also push the speakers back
close to the wall and put a sheet or blanket over
everything else. 

 

Just like my pets who I dearly love. Whatever you have to do, don't let them anywhere near your system. No Excuses. Full Stop.

My dog and rabbit guard the stereo. If they can get past the dog they have to face the rabbit. Tough nut that Junior, he takes no crap from kids. 

ALL my kids learned OWIE!. That is an owie! When the kids don't learn I swat the parents. Teach your kids, PARENTS!

Like I tell the little DEMONS, I could have adopted, and still CAN!! :-) Now go ring that neighbor's doorbell and hide in the bushes. 

Let me get my Sony A99 this is a Sony moment coming up. CLICK!!!

Henry (the neighbor) answers the door in garters and a red corset. Sometimes he has his feathers on. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. He'll do a runway to the mail box if he's been drinkin'.
I just turn the stereo UP and play "She can leave her hat on" by Joe. Wish he'd shave those legs a little closer, back, head, arms. He's Greek, hairy little gomer!
