kiddie proof

[jes25]

Does anyone know of a kid proof switch? By kid proof I mean one that a small child can't turn on, but an adult can.

They make keyed switches. A switch that requires a key to operate.

My nine year old can program my cell phone, send text messages on his DSI, operate a computer to get to his favorite sites, download pictures from a digital camera, program the satelite receiver, and I would guess this is considered normal for a nine year old.

Isolation by height isn't going to work - I've seen three year olds drag over a chair to get on the counter

Keyswitch was brought up.

X-10 radio controller (keep the fob in your pocket)
Keypad (will only work until they see you do it one time)
Voice activated
Thumb print scanner
Retinal Scanner

Likely any casually dedicated teenager could get by these if they thought you were hiding something interesting.

Yeah, we have one in our house. It is a standard toggle mounted about 6 feet AFF. Don't ask me why, that's where it was when we bought the house. And it works, everyone that should be able to operate it can and those who shouldn't can't. Until they figure out how to drag a chair in to their room.

I would have posted an image of the Milky Ways' Local Group, but few here would know what that is

The 20-30 galaxies around ours. I'll admit that I don't get out there much either .

Break a switch ( not a light switch ) off. One or two times the kid will leave the light switch alone

Is that why this picture of the willow is relevant? I was trying to figure it out.

Apparently you were never been beaten with a switch when you were little.
