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?

I think we've all had a driver dustcap pushed in at one point or another by little fingers. lesson learned. I'd like to share this. We moved into a house and had to furnish the whole thing. Part of that was getting a brand new 50" plasma. Beautiful TV. So we had a party. Some kid opened her can of soda on the TV stand and sprayed the TV. No one said a thing. I noticed it weeks after it happened. I was never able to completely get rid of some of the smudges. Again, lesson learned.

I use plexiglass and Velcro to protect my equipments  from my own twins 👯‍♀️ they’re 2 now grills never ever comes off unless taking pictures 😀😀☺️

Tell their parents to bring the gate that prevented them from climbing stairs.  Attach flat cardboard pieces, if needed.

What worked for you, back when you were a parent?
