I wonder if technology has replaced common sense. Perhaps the human brain can stand only so much.

I am watching my grandaughter scrambling to take care of
her crawling baby. As all babies do, he has no sense of
danger or prohibitions. Babies are intent on suicide it seems.

I told her about the ease of putting the baby in a play pen and was told that, "people don't do that anymore." It was
so easy to put my children in a safe play pen with toys or
in Bobby's case with a devoted cat as well. I was able to
run outside for a minute and to get my housework done.

As long as the babies can see you, they are usually happy
and learn to amuse and soothe themselves. I can't believe
you would choose to be hyper vigilant and be worn out
from chasing them all day. There is enough work involved
in child care without making it harder than necessary.

Guess I am just an old fashioned grandmother who does
not believe in a child centered world.
