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've put my speakers away since my grandson started crawling, May 2021.

As much as I miss my system, it's just not worth the risk.

Great topic!!! Six grandkids, only one is a boy all under the age of 6…..the boy is the trouble! I literally unhook the speakers and put them away lol! Good luck

Depends on the kids.  If they are open to listen and understand, then explain to them this is your "toy" and it's very easy to break and cost lots of $ to fix so please don't touch.  Or, you can have them "safely" touch buttons and stuff "under your close supervision" until the mystique/curiosity wears off and they are no longer interested.  Maybe tell them not to touch unless you are around and they ask permission with close supervision.   

I bought each grandchild his own integrated amp, turntable, and speakers!

it worked - they love music

one plays trumpet and the other cello!

 

 

I think the question is how to protect your grandchildren from your equipment…
