I realize all kids are different, but I was able to teach my son that some areas are a "no."
The "no" areas included things under the kitchen sink (we did not lock the doors), electrical sockets (no hairpins please :^) and my turntable.
By the time he was walking, talking and had a reasonable understanding of things, I showed him how the turntable worked and he would cue up music while I sat in the hot seat. My TT at that time was a Versa Dynamics linear tracker with Benz Ruby cartridge.
I have a Polaroid of him standing beside my expensive gear with a grin from ear to ear. He was laughing out loud when the music burst into the room.
No, he never broke my stylus or TT, he left that for me to do while I was cleaning the body of the cartridge with a Q Tip.
I should have let him clean the stylus.
