> In my experience, toddlers do not have a need for discoverability of everyday things, as they don't seem to figure objects out on their own, beyond trying to push, pull, bite or throw them Toddlers are preternaturally patient - they will try all possible combinations of push, pull, bite and/or throw until they find a combination that works. Also, they can easily transfer skills that may not be seem related to an adult - I encouraged a toddler to understand how carseat buckle works (they wanted to "help"): unfortunately, those skills are directly transferable to defeating buckle-based child-proofing products <facepalm>
