They sell safety latches that are supposed to prevent your kids from pinching their fingers with drawers and cupboard doors. They are completely useless. Yelling "careful!!" a million times does not teach your kids anything, since they don't understand what "careful" means if they never hurt themselves.
Pinching their fingers with a drawer teaches them rather quickly. Even the slowest learners realize very quickly how to close drawers after they do it the wrong way once or twice. (They might even learn what "careful!" means...)
- dusted 4y agoExcellent example.. My son found out not to put his hands near the edges of drawers and doors recently, luckily it was very mild not even a bruise, but it was a shock to him that having your hand the wrong place could suddenly hurt, and I can see his changed behavior months later.
